Wether it’s food, sex or adventure, our capacity to experience pleasure has a huge impact and the degree to which we can fully take in and enjoy an experience. Pleasure is our birthright, it is part of our divine design. Modern life, with its endless business, is not conducive to experiencing pleasure! I don’t know about you, but I did not spring forth into this life merely to work on a never ending “to do” list. I came here to experience all the joys of being alive in this human body! My goal is to delve into the root of our ability to experience pleasure and understand our intrinsic design to find our way back if we are limited in our capacity in any way. My goal is to explore all the elements of pleasure from mindfulness practices to help strengthen the ability to be fully present, to more intense forms that arise from extreme sensory experiences. The same elements of neurobiology, sensation and presence support us to enjoy eating a strawberry as much as they support us in having out of body experience orgasms. If we foster the capacity to experience the nuances of pleasure in small ways we have the tools to experience pleasure in all ways. I created this website as a landing pad for offerings and musings and whatever else decides to be birthed through this pleasure portal…

Past Events

Our ability to experience pleasure is impacted by many things, including, our ability to be fully present, have a regulated nervous system, a healthy body, awareness of sensation, a lack of shame and a sense of self-worth/deserving. The intent of this retreat is to give you an embodied experience of all of this so that you have tools to take with you to live your life experiencing more pleasure. We will use the elements of nature to guide this experience: Earth, air, fire water…

  • Earth - Physical - Being present, noticing sensation, nourishing with food and herbs, movement

  • Air - Nervous system – breath to regulate and to move energy

  • Fire - Emotional - Release old stories/shame

  • Water - Spiritual – call in love/worthiness, divine connection

As in nature, they work together and are not separate from each other. It is the alchemy of all of the elements that creates an environment ripe for pleasure. With our modern disconnection to nature we have also disconnected from parts of ourselves. Our mind/body/soul has an immense innate capacity for pleasure we simply need to learn the tools to fully experience it!
