What does it look like ?

You can teach what you embody

I love supporting leaders in the intimacy, dance & relationship field. Often you are so passionate about your work, yet have your own healing journey with attachment & eros. Come be well held, as you rewire your attachment system & expand your erotic capacity. Our community of practice is often the most vulnerable, authentic, intimate experience participants have had. Your body will be different after this training at the deepest energetic level. The more satisfied you are in your relationships & erotic life, the better you can serve your people!
