October in the Hudson Valley is the time to visit. Leaves ablaze, change in the air and beauty abounding. 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 October 25th and departure on October 29th. The program finishes Sunday in the afternoon. Check in will be between 3pm and 3:30pm on the 25th, and we will begin the work soon after. 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.
This space offers accommodation options in two buildings; the palacial and spacious Chalet, and the earthy Sanctuary. Both are beautiful, comfortable and well appointed. Sleeping options range from Doubles, to Triples and one Single. All rooms share bathrooms. The house is full of comfy couches and balconies, the bathrooms are all brand new. Chose the sleeping option that best suits you, and remember that the retreat itself has very little downtime, and I’ll make sure everyone is plenty tired and ready to actually sleep at night, so no worries about staying in common spaces!
Doubles in the Sanctuary and spacious, bright and beautiful. Doubles will be shared either by a couple in one bed, or two people of the same gender in two beds. This option is $1897 per person.
Chalet doubles are cozy and woodsy. Doubles can be shared either by a couple (one bed) or two people of the same gender (two beds). Price is per person $1797
Chalet Triples are woodsy, comfortable and shared by three people of the same gender. Price per person is $1597
There is one (maybe two!) singles for those who prefer not to share a sleeping space. Bathroom is shared! $2787 per person.
MORE ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
The Intensive is a residential five-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).
