Somatic Deep Dive
Into the Well : A weekend dedicated to your erotic body
Feb 28th–March 2nd
Hanna Barn

Vashon Island, Washington

“We tend to think of the erotic as an easy, tantalizing sexual arousal.
I speak of the erotic as the deepest life force,
a force which moves us toward living in a fundamental way.”
~ Audre Lorde

​

These are unknown times. 

Let us gather and drink from a well of mysterious eros to fortify our cells, souls, and soma. ​

​

What is the erotic body?       

 This is all of you: your life force, kundalini, chi, Prana, and aliveness. Eros is a current or energy that can be dormant, wounded or stuck. And, sometimes it’s exuberant, hungry or feisty. My belief is that it is a radical and transformative act to explore Eros outside of a partnership, lover or the confines of the bedroom. The pelvis, where the first and second Chakra are located, generates the movement of erotic vibration. Wherever you are right now in your erotic journey, you are invited to come explore in a skillful and experiential container.

​

How will we get there?

We get to the place of body awakening and erotic aliveness through movement, breath work, consensual touch practices, guided erotic massage, sharing stories, sex education, circle technology and ritual. This is a hands-on, experiential workshop that includes consensual giving and receiving. You are at choice the whole weekend. 

 

Why come? 

To drink from an alchemical well of embodiment where all of you is welcome.  To renew, resource and recharge with other embodied explorers. To receive, give and learn how to honor your yes’s and no’s. To feel aliveness, pleasure and to be with the mystery. Because you crave a space that welcomes your whole erotic body , its history and emotions. A conscientious,  trauma aware, solid container will be held with community agreements and skilled staff.

Somatic Deep Dive
Healing the Wounded Healer
March 24-30, 2025
Heartwood Retreat Center
Blue Ridge, Georgia

Join us to co-create a consent-based, intentional community to do the vulnerable work of laying out our wounds and inviting rituals, community witnessing, and erotic practices to move through our pain and into personal and collective liberation. This is an intimate space that will require your courage, self-compassion, self-awareness, and care for others. Many wisdom traditions teach that our greatest wounds can become our greatest gifts if we choose to do the work of moving through those wounds and healing ourselves. This residential program is an opportunity to dive into this work within a culture and belief that eros is healing.

Intimacy Experiments
Wild Honey: Fresh Harvest
August 17-22, 2025
Jemez Springs, New Mexico

Welcome to Wild Honey where we play with the conscious sensate experience of eros & pleasure and how to apply them to your life and the world. In an intimate group of consensual erotic explorers, we journey to occupy ourselves more fully with presence, playfulness, and an unshakeable belonging to our bodies and the Earth.

​

We claim our sovereign place in this world via the integration of body, mind, and spirit as radical, joyful, and sustainable. In these challenging times, Eros can be an untapped nourishing balm applied to grief, heartache, pain, and suffering.
