Master Your Pleasure

A 7-Day Intensive Pleasure-Body Initiation
with Somatic, Tantric & Shamanic Exploration

Master Your Pleasure is an invitation, a space to explore
 

  • To open, connect, learn, unlearn, reclaim, practice, and expand your capacity for Pleasure.
     

  • What is Pleasure? Pleasure is a deeply subjective experience that arises within us - unique to each person, and different in every moment. There is no single definition, yet what becomes apparent to those who dare to explore pleasure deeply.
     

  • Pleasure is a healing, rejuvenating, restorative, and empowering medicine for body, mind, and soul. It is not something that someone or something outside of you can give.
    Pleasure is a choice - an inner opening, an allowing, an act of self-permission.

Is Master Your Pleasure for You? 

Master Your Pleasure welcomes individuals, couples and triads of all genders, sexual orientations and relationship statuses.
 

  • You have a desire for more Pleasure in your life.
     

  • You may find it difficult or impossible to experience Pleasure without some external stimulus, another person, toys or imagery.
     

  • You may be missing Pleasure in certain parts of your life.
     

  • You are afraid of Pleasure, or you feel guilty about experiencing Pleasure.
     

  • You are aware of addictive patterns around how you experience Pleasure.

Master Your Pleasure is designed to explore and expand your relationship with your own Pleasure - not anyone else’s. In life, we often direct our focus outward, toward others and external experiences. Yet the key to our capacity for pleasure is always found within.
 

These explorations draw inspiration from the ancient wisdom of the Temple Arts, including Tantra, Meditation, and Shamanism, as well as from modern modalities such as Sexological Bodywork, Somatics, Breathwork, Conscious Communication, and Consent.
 

This Journey follows an eight-level Pleasure Model of human development, encompassing our experiences from the womb to sexual and spiritual bliss. It offers a sacred space to discover both our power and our limitations within each pleasure portal — including safety, relief of discomfort, elemental play, and the emotional, mental, sensual, sexual, and spiritual dimensions of Pleasure as medicine and prayer.
 

The potency of this Journey lies in seven days of deep, focused attention to the Pleasure Body — allowing for a somatic and belief-level reset that can create lasting transformation in your capacity to feel and receive pleasure. Beyond the depth of the experience itself, the range and diversity of the practices enhance the potential for awakening your innate pleasure intelligence.

Our approach embraces the body, mind, heart, soul, and emotional body - and importantly, your inner child - inviting a whole-being reset in your neurology for safety, receptivity, permission, and trust.

​

We journey into Pleasure both individually and collectively, through embodied practices, ritual structures, sharing circles, and meditations. On the path of opening to Pleasure, everything within us that resists it often arises to be felt and transformed.

This week is not designed to be a “feel-good” experience - although you may indeed feel good. Rather, it is an opportunity to meet and integrate the parts of yourself that limit your full embrace of Pleasure.

Alongside the deep transformation that unfolds during the retreat, you will gain knowledge, skills, and embodied practices to carry into your daily life. You will be welcomed, supported, and held in your authentic truth throughout this week-long exploration.

This Journey can be profoundly life-changing - and at times, challenging - as we invite strong and transformative energies. To honor the depth of this work, participation requires an application with eight in-depth questions designed to help you connect with your authentic why: Why do you feel called to this Journey?
