    SEX!

    Now that we have your attention let's talk about Consent.

    The conversation around giving, receiving, offering, and allowing pleasure is one that needs to be had freely, often, and authentically. 

    Most people think of consent as just permission, but it's much more about setting up an agreement for allowing pleasure or desire to unfold. 

    The setting up of the agreement creates the dynamic of consent.

    You're either doing or being done to, the question is who is it for?

    The main purpose of consent is for everyone to have fun!!

    Ease, surrender, generosity, gratitude, and integrity. 

    Ever wondered what would happen if you moved through life shining your full energetic radiance…

    Feeling confident, charismatic, and totally free to express your true self?

    If this feels hard to imagine - you’re not alone!

    With the way, female sexuality has been objectified and abused in our patriarchal and misogynistic culture.

    It’s time for us to reclaim those parts of us that have been shut down or not yet activated. Most of us learn at a young age to shut down, block, and suppress our sexual energy.

    But what we don’t learn is that our sexual energy is KEY to being radiant, magnetic, and fully alive!

    During this full-day workshop, you’ll get to work with 5 amazing facilitators!!
