Sensual Summer
Daylong Retreat
An intimate day (and night) of sensuality,
embodiment, community, and renewal
I’m hosting an intimate overnight retreat at Anza on Sunday, July 26th, and I would love for you to join.
The vision is simple: a gorgeous day and evening (and next morning!) of slowing down, enjoying our bodies, connecting with great people, eating delicious food, soaking / sauna-ing / cold plunging, creatively writing, moving, dancing, awakening the senses, and celebrating summer in a way that feels intentional and alive.
This is not a play party. Not an intensive workshop where you have to process your entire life. Not a networking thing.
More like: a beautiful getaway to pamper your nervous system, reconnect with your sensuality, and remember that being alive can feel really, really good.
We’ll gather starting at 2pm on Sunday July 26th at Anza in the Berkeley Hills, with sensual yoga, creative writing, free time to hot tub / sauna / cold plunge, a community connection, a nourishing dinner, and a special dance journey with a live DJ set. We will wrap up by 9pm. (And you’re welcome to come early and enjoy the neighboring trails!) There are also limited spaces to stay overnight (at no extra charge) if you’d like to take Monday off (or a half-day) and give yourself some extra time to hang with the crew!
This retreat will be intimate, grounded, delicious, and fun. Can’t think of a better way to celebrate and honor Summer. I hope you’ll join us!
The Vibe
This won’t be formal, but it will be intentional.
I’m imagining it like a real retreat — held with care, depth, and beauty — but for friends, and just for one very special day.
I’ll be bringing in teachings and practices from classical Tantra, including a delicious practice around “feeding the sense goddesses” — basically, a way of treating the senses as sacred portals into presence, pleasure, and aliveness.
You’ll be invited to drop out of the thinking mind and into the receptive, awake body. To let yourself feel nourished by beauty, food, music, movement, warm water, cold water, sunlight, sunset, good people, and whatever the day wants to awaken in you.
There will be structure, but not pressure.
Depth, but not heaviness.
Sensuality, but for you, not anyone else.
Connection, but no forced intimacy.
My hope is that you leave feeling more luscious, more connected, more in love with being you, and more grateful to be alive.
What to Expect
A few of the ingredients we’ll be weaving into the day:
A gentle arrival ritual to help you land, exhale, and cross the threshold into retreat space
A juicy and luxurious sensual yoga flow to activate the energy of savoring
Teachings and practices from classical Tantra, including a ceremony for “feeding the sense goddesses” — honoring the senses as sacred gateways into presence, pleasure, and aesthetic rapture (“chamatkara”)
Creative writing exercises to get your sensual + creative juices flowing and cultivate your unique authentic expression
Nourishing community connection exercises
Free time to soak, sauna, cold plunge, wander, rest, journal in the sun, or connect with new/old soul friends
A delectable summer-y dinner together
A special dance journey with a live DJ set to move your energy, awaken joy, express your soul, and relish summer into your body
Space to integrate in nature, water, warmth, music, and community
Optional: come early and enjoy the nearby trails before we begin! And stay the night if you can!
