Awakening Desire & Receiving Pleasure

A Half-Day Workshop for Women 

Do you long for more pleasure, intimacy, and joy in your life—but feel unsure how to ask for what you want, or even how to identify what you truly desire?

This experiential afternoon workshop invites you to gently reconnect with your desires and expand your ability to receive. Through guided practices, playful exploration, and supportive inquiry, you’ll begin to dissolve the fears and resistances that keep you from claiming what you truly long for.

This is for you if you:

• Struggle to know what you want, much less ask for it
• Long to experience more pleasure—in intimacy and beyond
• Want to soften into receiving without shame or anxiety
• Wish to set boundaries that allow you to relax and trust more deeply
• Crave greater intimacy in your relationships—and with yourself
• Feel afraid of asking for what you want—or even of actually getting it

What you’ll explore:

• Visioning & Releasing Resistance: What it feels like to imagine your desires, and then recognize—and release—the resistance that keeps them at bay
• The Practice of Pleasure: Gentle, body-based tools to awaken sensation, receptivity, and joy
• Receiving & Boundaries: Learning the dynamics of giving and receiving, and how to define and communicate your limits clearly and directly
• Playful Practices: Embodied practices (drawn from Betty Martin’s Wheel of Consent and other sources) connect you to your full-hearted yes and your sacred no, and invite your nervous system to settle and feel safe so you can fully receive

Why this matters:

Desire lives in us in every moment—from the small, daily longings (a cup of tea just so, five more minutes in the sun) to the deep visions of intimacy and fulfillment we hold inside. Yet so often we deny or silence these desires, cutting ourselves off from joy, satisfaction, and life itself.

This workshop offers gentle but potent tools to help you turn back toward desire, expand your capacity for receiving, and set yourself on the path of pleasure, joy, and true fulfillment.

You are invited into this women-only circle, a safe space to awaken your desires, and open to receiving and pleasure.
