Through guided exercises, power exchange, rope work, and impact play, this weekend is an opportunity to step fully into the sacred aspects of both power and surrender. The divine masculine invites you to embody power and purpose, claiming desires with authenticity and without guilt. In turn, the divine feminine teaches you to embrace surrender, nurturing, and openness, allowing yourself to be held and guided to deep states of bliss and self-awareness.
Our practices will bring you beyond the headspace of thinking and talking, into the physical and spiritual experiences that only embodied practices can provide. This workshop will be an invitation to explore the sacred balance within yourself&mdash;creating a space for healing, discovery, and the realization of the spiritual power that lies within both your strength and your vulnerability.
