2 1/2-Day Co-ed Embodiment and Sexual Polarity Intensive
Love and sexuality are at the core our primal life force. Love isn’t an idea or a thought or even a feeling - it powers the core of your being. The desire and drive to open through love and sex are palpable forces that can be conducted through your body and the world around you.
Beyond just scratching the itch of sexual hunger, how can we channel and conduct this intensity in our lives and relationships? How can you widen your horizons of sensual delight while deepening who you are as a human being? How can you do this with safety and honesty, while navigating moment to moment changing cues from your partner?
Love and physical intimacy can be practiced, and deepened as a fulfilling art--few people actually work to expand their capacities in this area. Reading books, and watching videos is no substitute for actual practice with real partners. In this workshop you will learn through practices designed to stretch and grow your capacity to conduct pleasure and communicate love.

Why would you want to do embodiment and polarity practices?
Creating new habits of body and mind take time, practice, and effort. Just like in difficult physical asanas in yoga like chair pose, you may want to pop out due to the discomfort, where change happens is when we keep holding the pose a few moments beyond when we are uncomfortable. In the art of sexual yoga (the practice of using our inner masculine and feminine essences to create love and attraction in each moment) we hold the pose through our breath, our intention of love and desire, and allow the love and the truth of our hearts to show through our eyes and body.
Creating these new habits of love is not easy, but it is possible! In this video I discuss how we can hold the difficult pose of surrender to transform trauma and mistrust. Most of us have had experiences in the past when it wasn't safe to surrender so when we try to offer our hearts to a partner who we actually do trust our whole body and mind may be screaming no from these past wounds. In these moments when know we are safe and loved but are so terrified to let go because of past hurts, we can rewire what love and safety means in our body by revealing the truth of our fear and holding true to offering surrender.

Sacred feminine essence is the wild nature that brings
energy and flavor to life.
Recognition of this sacred feminine essence within us is an antidote to the epidemic of self-doubt and pushing ourselves hard and fast to prove our worth in a society and workplace that values men and the masculine over women and the feminine. How much time, energy, and money do we waste in envy and comparison? How can we really trust other women to be our allies and form true deep friendship if we don’t trust our own feminine essence?
We must embrace a new feminism, that honors the feminine in us and the world just as much as it values the masculine.
Connection to the sacred feminine part of ourselves is not about denying our rational or analytical side. It is not about being dainty and cute. It is instead about RANGE. Are we able to relax into our truest expression in the moment, wherever on the spectrum that lands, whether it be a storm of rage, a warm honey pot of desire, or a wild wind of change and uncertainty. Or are we unconsciously running away from parts of our own feminine that we feel are shameful or weak?
We consider feminine essence as sacred because it is a fundamental part of the fabric of reality and can be found as that mysterious part in all of us that is so alluring to the masculine.
Tapping into this energy brings an effortless power and an ever-renewing sense of wonder and play into day to day life.
Although the feminine can be fierce, this is very different from popular notions of a bitchy “goddess” archetype. True connection to this source does not confer superiority. We are here to love and heal one another, and we must begin with ourselves and our sisterhood. This work is not about dancing (though we like to dance!), dressing up for the male gaze, or losing all sense of center and critical thinking. It is instead about courage, sober connection to our own inner reality, and the power in being real and vulnerable together.
