Get Closer. Feel Safer.

Can you imagine a world where no one feared a violation of their boundaries? A world where everyone felt safe in their bodies and confident in asking for what they want? Practice, education, + empathy is how we get there!

We will talk about, role play, + practice these essential life skills in a queer-centered, trauma-informed container.

These interactive, intentional exercises will explore skills that build relational intelligence + positive, reciprocal relationships.

Dismantle the culture of coercion that we've been conditioned to expect by creating safety, fun, and ease!

A sacred ritual container honoring sensuality as our sacred connection to source.

Eros, your sensual intuition, is the body's natural healing intelligence.

Your orgasmic offering is pure, raw creative power!

This immersive experience combines tantric meditation, play, self-massage, synchronized breath + authentic movement techniques. You're invited to sink deeply into surrender, listen to the intuition of your body, + build an intimate connection with self that will last a lifetime.

These unique, instinctual breath patterns create an altered state of consciousness which give us access to our inner kingdom + all its parts.

Tap into collective consciousness + the transpersonal landscape of archetypes and dreams as described by Carl Jung.

This is void medicine; a potent place for soul retrieval, revelation, integration, acceptance, cathartic release, shadow work, + deep healing.

Enjoy the intentional design of a nurturing, ceremonial set + setting. You’ll be supported with the environment + resources to dig deep + shift brain states.

Allow the path of sensation to guide you back home.

Bare Yoga + Embodied Breathwork for Erotic Embodiment

Being in pleasure is a practice of undoing the programming of shame.

This is the yoga of embodied awareness.

Nakedness is a mental, spiritual, emotional journey of high vibrations. Nakedness isn't the act of being nude but of letting go and being free. I gear our nude yoga class to fit bodies of all shapes + sizes regardless of sexuality, gender identity, age, or ability level.

UPROOT SHAME TOGETHER!

Any level of nudity is welcomed, whether topless, fully nude, or clothed. Clothing is optional! Lucidity is required.

This is a safe, sober space to express yourself + experience freedom in whatever way you’re comfortable.

Come celebrate togetherness with connection to ourselves, the earth, + each other!

There are no cell phones, alcohol, or mind-altering substances permitted on the premises. We want you to be best resourced for connection, whatever that looks like for you. Getting a good night’s sleep, staying hydrated, and eating well the day of are important aspects of preparing the body to receive.
