A two day city retreat for celebrating Eros, Shadow, and Connection
What happens if we dare to embrace the shadow parts of us that we’ve been taught to reject, deny, and shame? Have you ever noticed how make-up sex is often so hot precisely because the feelings we normally resist are finally surfacing? When we give ourselves permission to play with supposedly “bad” feelings such as anger, jealousy, humiliation, domination, fear, or neediness, we can discover how to enjoy the arousal within them.
Together, we will alchemize the shame that has us playing small and develop the sense of self-trust and confidence that comes with getting to know all parts of ourselves.

Transform relational friction into juicy sex
Alchemize the shame that has you playing small
Release the fear, anxiety, and confusion that comes from avoiding your own shadows
Develop the sense of self-trust and confidence that comes with getting to know all parts of yourself
Express and unleash the censored parts of you
Learn a new playful modality to get free and clear in the places you feel stuck and uncertain
Discover the turn-on in humiliation and shyness
Deepen intimacy with yourself and others
This workshop offers a loving container to tap the erotic vitality of the parts of us that we’ve obscured or shut down. This is an invitation to use the pleasure of play and eros to bring our shadow parts out of exile and back into consciousness and connection. Shadow play is not about fixing anyone, but it is profoundly transformative. We get to end the struggle against ourselves and relax into the vast natural wholeness that we are.
Exploring our shadows can be both exciting and scary. We will support you to discover the safety that you need to really attune to yourself and others. Your choices will be honored and you won’t be pushed to do anything you’re not ready for.
