This Retreat is a pleasure seeking Mission…

Of course there’s sex talk, but so much more!

Welcome to Our First Retreat in the Washington, DC area in 5 years and so excited that the work will be focused on our desire and pleasure.

This experience is about embracing the intersection of grief and joy.

We tend to create a lot of our decisions, choices, and even desires from our pain body. It’s familiar; therefore, it feels safe.

But we never truly feel satisfied because we don’t trust what feels good. Because it’s too good to be true.

What if it isn’t?

What if choosing your pleasure is a real lived experience?

This retreat will have you ready to start creating and manifesting from your pleasure seat with a sense of confidence and ease you’ve never experienced.

What Can You Expect?

  • Luxury Korean Spa Experience

    We will spend a full day at Balian Springs Wellness Social Club where you will be able to experience indoor and outdoor hydrotherapy pools, 10 sauna rooms, meditation, aromatherapy rooms, and so much more.

  • Guided Breathwork & Energy healing

    This somatic practice will help us to release grief, trauma, and stress stored in the body so we can create space to imagine what joy and pleasure feels like on every level.

  • Creating Your Pleasure Narrative

    These intentional guided conversations will support you in allowing for you to step into the center of your own universe without guilt or shame. You get to be the star of your show and choose you first!

  • Communal Healing

    This is a journey of healing with our sisters. We are not meant to do this work alone. There is so much power when we trust our fellow sisters to support us in our evolution.

  • Personalized Pleasure Kit

    A value of $195, you will receive a unique pleasure kit that supports you in amplifying all your sensory awareness and stimulating joy to the next level.

  • Pleasure & Touch

    We all desire touch and this practice helps us to identify what pleases us sensually and how to communicate it clearly. Because you get to center you in this pleasure journey.

Your spa Experience

  • For those who are ready to experience the other side of grief
