This fall we will be in an amazing, secluded location near Mount Shasta in California. We will be next to the healing waters of Stewart Mineral Springs (https://www.stewartmineralsprings.com/) and have an optional spa day Wednesday.
our cozy living space
Check-in starts at 4pm on Wednesday, if you’ll join us for the hot springs it’s important to know that the last soak is at 4, so be sure to arrive earlier, and come join us anytime after 4 at Hestia. We understand that many have long journeys or difficult to adjust schedules, so if Wednesday arrival isn’t possible, you can join us anytime before 10 am on Thursday. On Wednesday we will have dinner, an evening session and Kundalini Meditation. We’ll start the full program on Thursday.
The work begins at noon on the 7th of August and finishes around 6pm on the 11nd of August. The early-bird fee of $875 will be valid until the 10th of June, afterwards the fee will return to $950. Fees include the five-day course, simple, shared, dorm-style accommodation for four nights and three lovingly prepared vegetarian meals per day

The accommodations are simple but beautiful dorm style rooms with shared baths. The space is silent and surrounded by beauty and nature. It is the perfect setting for our work.

MORE ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
The Intensive is a residential four-day program which offers different ways of liberating blocked or repressed sexual energy. When sexual energy flows, life flows, affecting not only our sexuality but our over-all health and happiness.
We will explore our relationship with our bodies, our sexuality, with our inner the masculine and feminine and the repercussions that those relationships bring about in the relationships we have in the outer world.
It will function like a diagnostic. It’s a chance to really look deeply and get an honest assessment of where you are. We use the energy of the group, dynamic meditations, yoga, and movement to bring us a unique experience in which we have the possibility of becoming more present, more embodied and more honest with ourselves.
From this point of honesty we begin to realize that it is in fact, us who are creating the discord in our relationships and our life in general. Once we take responsibility, become the authors of our experience and can begin to take charge of our lives.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
The hours are intense. During the duration of the course you will spend most of your waking time inside the hall, doing the work. We use the time to immerse fully and highly recommend unplugging as much as possible from the outside world. We use this retreat as a ‘restart’ button, pulling us completely out of our normal daily life so that we can dive deeply into ourselves.
This workshop respects boundaries. There will be no nudity and nothing sexually explicit. That being said, we will be working with this energy, so we will do some partner work and sensuality will be provoked, as will playfulness and spontaneity.
The venues for the Intensive are chosen based on trust. We select venues that have quiet and seclusion, a staff which is equipped to handle the retreat’s needs and an energy which is conducive to the work. Because of this being the main criteria the other circumstances may vary greatly – sometimes we are in a more upscale resort, and others in a very rustic, basic setting in the beauty of nature. Accommodation is generally shared or dorm-style and food is always vegetarian and prepared with love (usually by cooks who have done the course and come back to support).
