In this “women-only” workshop we will create sacred community together through exploration, dance and movement, meditative practices, connecting with nature, artistic expression, and empowering and celebratory rituals. We will draw on the wisdom of the ancient Taoist practice to help unlock and refine our vital energy and sexual desire. You will be invited to explore your own body’s limitless capacity for pleasure, health and vitality. Our workshop stands alone for any woman—whether you are single or in partnership with a man or woman.
