Pleasure is powerful and we have the potential to access it at any time. We have all learned scripts about how to touch ourselves and one another that are often disconnected or based on someone else’s idea of what feels good. Coming Home to Pleasure teaches foundational somatic practices to build your capacity for more pleasure and erotic energy based on what actually feels good to your body.  

Especially now, in the midst of everything we are collectively experiencing, turning toward our pleasure is even more vital. Pleasure can sustain us, provide joy and solace, help us process our grief, and is the creative force that helps us dream into the world we deserve to live in. Pleasure is a resource. Pleasure is a revolution. 

During this workshop you will be invited to try some guided somatic practices that include breathwork, sensuality with food, and connecting to your erotic energy. 

*Please bring a piece of fruit with you.
