I’m feeling apprehensive about going to a “sex workshop” even if it’s all women; what can I expect?
It’s nearly impossible to grow up in this culture and not have hang-ups about sexuality so feeling apprehensive about going to this workshop is completely normal. It’s good to ask as many questions as you need to about the content and the teacher and then trust your own guidance system about what feels right to you, personally. The workshop is as much about self-love and discovering the Divine Feminine within as it is about sensuality. Having said that, there are sections of our workshop where we will engage in explicit conversations about anatomy, techniques, and sexual energy. However there is no explicit sexual activity in the workshop itself. You are always encouraged to be at choice about your participation and honor what is right for you. We work in a gentle, loving way and pride ourselves on creating a sacred, safe and honoring workshop environment with clear boundaries. Even the most conservative and nervous participants routinely tell us that they felt comfortable right away.
What kinds of things will we do in the workshop?
We will set and maintain a sacred tone for the workshop by creating sacred space, gathering in circle, meditating, chanting, and invoking Spirit throughout our time together. We will cover topics like sexual healing, body image, beliefs and values, sexual responsiveness, relationships, sensual touch, and Tantric loving practices for tapping into your own feminine power. We will create community by sharing with other women one-on-one, in small groups and as a large group. We will move our bodies with music, dance and yoga. We will awaken our sensual energy, creating our own definition of what it means to be sexually self-expressed. We will laugh, cry and celebrate. We will rest, journal, and have time for integration. We will eat chocolate and delicious meals. And so much more!
What about the retreat location and lodging?
The retreat will be held in a private home or retreat center in the Sierra Foothills of California (between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe), easily accessible from both the Sacramento and Reno airports. We have two locations available and the size of the upcoming workshop will determine which facility we’ll use. Both are in beautiful, wooded locations with hiking and rivers nearby. A variety of lodging options are available from private or double occupancy B&B style rooms (around $200 per night), to indoor dormitory sleeping (around $75 per night) and outdoor camping (around $30 per night) to suit your needs and budget. Lodging fees are not included in the workshop registration. A complete list of lodging options and prices will be sent to you upon registration.
What about meals?
All meals will be provided and are included in the workshop fee, starting with dinner on Friday evening and concluding with lunch on Sunday. In addition, tea and light snacks will also be available throughout the workshop. The emphasis is on high quality, gourmet food that is healthy and nutritious. If you have special dietary needs, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you.
What kind of women come to this workshop?
The workshop is open to all women, single or partnered, age 18 and up, and all sexual orientations are welcome.
How many women will be there?
Workshops range in size from 20 to 40 women attending. We encourage you to sign up with a friend or sister! This is an amazing experience to share together that will elevate your relationship to a whole new level.
Will you be sending out more information about the workshop?
Yes. Once you have registered, we will send you a welcome packet with more details about what to wear, what to bring, and directions to the retreat location.
