In this beautiful space we’ll dive into our roots and contemplate the possibility of our own transformation, death, and re-birth. Our sexuality touches the root of our origin, the root of our family, and the root of our life force. We’ll enter a six-day journey to map the depths of these roots and learn more about the core of who we are.
Arrival will be on March 29th and departure on April 2nd. The program finished Sunday late afternoon for anyone who needs to get back to work or family, but for whoever has the space, we are offering this extra night to integrate and in the beauty of this space before returning home. We’ll be staying in a forested oasis in the heart of the Catskills. Check in will be between 4pm and 4:30pm on the 29th, and we will begin the work soon after, check out will be at 11am on Monday. Early Bird fees will be valid until January 21st. After that fees will return to normal price. Course fees include all teaching hours, shared accommodation, and three lovingly prepared vegetarian meals per day. Travel to and from the center is the participant’s responsibility.

MORE ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
The Intensive is a residential six-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, we 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).
