Step into a sacred long weekend of exploration, connection, and embodied awakening.

Exploring Eros through Consensual Conscious Touch is an immersive retreat designed to deepen your relationship to touch, desire, boundaries, and pleasure—within a grounded, respectful, and fully consensual container. This experience invites you to reconnect with your body as a source of wisdom, aliveness, and authentic expression.

Drawing from the powerful frameworks of Betty Martin’s Wheel of Consent, Jaiya’s Erotic Blueprints, and the Five Elements of Tantric Touch, this retreat offers a unique and integrative approach to understanding both your own desires and the dynamics of giving and receiving.

Through guided practices, partner and group exercises, and facilitated explorations, you will:

  • Cultivate clarity and confidence around consent, boundaries, and desire
  • Discover your unique erotic blueprint and how you relate to pleasure
  • Explore the art of conscious touch through elemental Tantric frameworks
  • Deepen your capacity to give and receive in ways that feel nourishing and aligned
  • Expand your experience of connection, intimacy, and embodied presence

Whether you come alone or with a partner, you will be met in a safe, supportive, and expertly held environment that honors autonomy, choice, and personal pacing at every step.

Couples and singles are welcome. All practices are invitational, with clear guidance to support sovereignty and mutual respect.

Testimonials from June 2026 Retreat:

“I deeply appreciated the immaculately held container – the safety, love, care, and presence that surrounded the entire weekend. It created such a powerful space for openness, vulnerability, healing, and connection. I was surprised by the felt sense of calm and safety from the start.

I was also surprised by how quickly the intimacy and trust within the group developed over the course of the weekend. It felt remarkable that a group of relative strangers could feel so deeply connected in such a short time. Given the depth of the practices around consent, touch, boundaries/safety, and authentic expression, I can see how thoughtfully this retreat was designed to support real connection.” Lance, PA

“Based on how many people commented to me on my changed countenance as we closed out the retreat and went our separate ways, I believe it may be obvious how much joy I was able to reconnect with this weekend. I, too, was shocked that such opening could happen in such a short stretch of time.” Lauren, NY

“The invitation and calling to those wants and needs, those desires so deeply hidden, silenced locked away with shame, fear and loathing of our creativity, our beauty, our life force… No one has ever offered me the keys to open those places within myself as was this past weekend. I can feel the walls around my heart crumbling. The light and love from Niav, Mary and Dan… healing hurts and wounds I didn’t even know I had. (WANTS!) I didn’t know I had! I’ve been to many retreats, this was by far the best I’ve ever been to!” Izzy, CT
