Drop What Doesn’t Serve

Release the baggage that holds you back and experience a profound connection with the current of existence, yourself, and others.

Authentic and Pleasurable Intimacy

To explore your desires and boundaries together with each other in a safe and deep space, and not just once, experience three deep days.

Is this training for you?

 

Are you easily distracted? Do you complete a task only to realize you’ve forgotten the process because your mind was a million miles away? Does life pull you in many directions at once? Do you agree to requests you’d rather decline? Do you endure situations rather than respond with a full-bodied ‘yes’? Are you unsure of what you want? Do you worry your desires will keep others away? Do you spend more time in your head than in your body? Do you envy the power in others that you feel you can’t access in yourself? Do you find yourself doom-scrolling or engaging in unhelpful habits despite the will to change?

Voyage Into Presence is for you if…

  • Live life in the here and now

  • Build the capacity to stay present with others, the world and yourself
  • Increase satisfaction & peace by learning skills to return to the present moment
  • Express your own authentic desires and boundaries
  • Explore self-pleasure including the wholeness of yourself
  • Develop deep, authentic, respectful connections with others

What You’ll Walk Away With

This weekend is more than a retreat — it’s a return.
You’ll leave not just rested, but reconnected — to your aliveness, to the sacred pulse of your body, and to the living mystery within and around you.

Through this voyage, you will:

  • Reclaim your senses as gateways to presence, pleasure, and awe.

  • Experience intimacy that is rooted in authenticity, consent, and heart.

  • Feel your body as temple — alive, safe, and fully inhabited.

  • Soften the layers of resistance that keep you from being fully seen and felt.

  • Discover new ways to meet the world through presence rather than performance.

  • Carry home practices that help you stay open, grounded, and connected beyond the weekend.

This isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about remembering what’s been here all along — the truth, beauty, and tenderness of your embodied being.

Practicalities

 

This weekend invites you to move, rest, and open. Please come prepared with what helps you feel supported and comfortable in the space.

  • A journal or notebook, and a pen

  • A water bottle or sealed tea/coffee mug
      (we ask that all containers be spill-proof)

  • Sacred objects for the communal altar

  • Optional: special back support or cushion if you need it

  • A sarong (more than one is even better)

  • Glasses or extra contact lenses if you wear contacts

  • Please avoid perfumes, oils, or scented products — we strive to maintain a scent-free space

 

What to Wear

 

Choose clothing that allows freedom of movement, breath, and expression.
Layers are ideal to accommodate shifts in body temperature throughout the day.

You are welcome to bring fun, sensual, or playful attire for the evening temple spaces — things that help you feel embodied and alive.

As the weekend takes place in February, plan for winter weather and the possibility of short outdoor moments.
