This weekend program is for women of every age and lifestyle who want to taste the full energetic potential of their erotic body.

Sexual energy flowing through the body allows for a more fulfilling erotic life, whether we are in relationship or not. The purpose of arousing this energy is to strengthen our Chi – life energy – for healing purposes, erotic autonomy, and just plain fun!

  • In celebration together we will support each other to let go of old ways of living in our body
  • Through exercises from the tantric and taoist traditions, we will experience the flow of sexual energy through the pathways of the body

In an atmosphere of consensuality and confidentiality, women will have the opportunity to experience themselves as sacred sexual beings. Knowing that erotic exploration can be fraught with barriers of shame, tension and anxiety, we respect these as each woman’s individual space is honoured.

All those identifying as women are welcome — diversity is strength!
