Portal of the Feminine with Pamela Madsen ImagePortal of the Feminine: A Time of Reclaiming is a specially designed non-residential weekend retreat for women that was created to welcome entry level erotic explorers, but can support and inspire advanced students as we guide you in an exploration of erotic embodiment, the role of arousal (your inner pharmacy) in your creative life, develop a new listening to the wisdom and voice of your own body and your ability to speak and identify your desires.

Portal of the Feminine, is in its fifth year of creating a safe and generous space for women, seeks to provide an opportunity for women to cultivate a strong connection to their own bodies, arousal and their own erotic power. Right now, women are needing more than ever to come back to their bodies, and feel the full agency of their collective and individual power. You will leave this workshop feeling turned on, empowered, playful and full of a sense of renewal.

Portal of the Feminine was conceived out of a desire to introduce women to the power of collective female energy as well as support individual cultivation and exploration of the power of playfulness, embodied presence and your own individual expression of sexuality.

Feminine Entry Into Your Own Body

We will take the time to listen to your body and actually talk to the erotic inside of you. You will have the opportunity to been seen through each others’ eyes and through the eyes of a camera. We will encourage you to listen to what your body wants and you will be able to explore your erotic creature in your own way, with the guidance and support of experienced teachers of female sexuality.

In a sacred, playful and intentional environment that respects each woman’s boundaries, we will go deep into the potential pleasure and wisdom of our bodies as we dance in the dark and the light of pleasure. Together we will experience our bodies as expressive, powerful and playful beings.

Explore and Expand Your Femininity

This special edition of Portal of the Feminine will be held in a private residence in Boulder, Colorado. In an atmosphere of permission and acceptance, each woman will explore and expand upon their awareness and sensation through a process of movement, the art if adoration, expanded arousal, boudoir photography, orgasmic meditation (not “OMing”) and playing with our edges.

Each woman will have the opportunity to explore their sexuality on both the physical and energetic realms. All expressions and choices are honored and celebrated.

This workshop is for women of all sexual orientations and ages who are willing to explore their own power to initiate the erotic and surrender to the erotic within a community of women.

During our weekend non-residentual three-day retreat, kicking off with a Friday evening gathering; we will explore embodiment practices that will allow us to go deep into the wisdom of our own bodies. We will play with sensation and expand our knowledge of our own body. We will explore the power of female sexual initiative as well as the bliss of surrender.

This is an opportunity to gather wisdom not just from your body but also by supporting and witnessing other women in their unfolding

Are you ready to develop an internal guide to successfully and sustainability explore your sexuality?

Are you ready to dive deep and play hard?

People across the gender spectrum, who desire to hold space, you are invited to compassionately witness and listen. Have you ever considered there IS a story about your cock or pussy? Your experience is valid…whatever it is. Has it been positive throughout your life? Then come and celebrate!

Has it not been? Then come and receive support.This is your chance to be heard and seen in the presence of others who witness you with love and compassion.

When we can share our stories and our truth in the presence of empathic and compassionate listeners shame dissipates.

____________________________________________________

This Cock and Pussy Project™ is a beautiful process for exploring, owning, and healing parts of ourselves that – for many of us – have been associated with shame, trauma, or shadow at some point during our lives. Dr. HazelGrace’s methodology for holding this space and guiding this exploration is inspiring, and creates a safe and loving container to be vulnerable and open about these hidden parts, and to witness and be witnessed by others.

_____________________________________________________

The morning will be dedicated to individuals who identify as having a penis or cock sharing their stories while being witnessed and heard by empathic listeners.

In the afternoon, we will switch roles with the individuals who identify as having a vagina or pussy will have the floor, while being listened to by compassionate witnesses.

___________________________________________________

We know this is a risk. Vulnerably and generously offering your stories about your bodies, heart, and sexuality.

Something powerful happens when you share your story with a group of caring, accepting humans.

People who are there just to listen. Just to support.

“Empathy is the antidote to shame.” Brene Brown

Tell us your story.

We are listening, and want to learn from you.

What is The Sexually Satisfied and Seasoned Woman and Can You Meet Her?
Sep 7 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Join Pamela Madsen and Dan Powers of Back to the Body Sensuous Retreats for Women for an important complimentary webinar.

What Do Women Want and Can You Meet Her There?

So, what if your partner (or yourself) decide that they are brave enough to dive into the erotic; to become one of those women who “come out”; becomes a women who stops hiding their body, their sexuality and their desires. There is a great change and this woman stops worrying about what family, friends or neighbor think. They dress like they want to dress. They spend money the way they want to spend money. And, this woman (you or your partner), becomes everything that anyone has ever heard about lovers wanting in a woman.

And then what? What about our partners?

At Back to the Body, we are asked over and over again — what about the partners?It’s wonderful to be a woman with her heart on fire and the rest of her wet — but is there a partner to meet her? What happens when we start performing sex and become sex?

This is a deep and important webinar for women and their partners to take on.

Becoming a Powerful Conscious Man – When to Hold Her Close and When to Pull her Hair @ Beyond the Bedroom
Aug 24 @ 10:00 am – 6:00 pm

Becoming a Powerful Conscious ManSo you’ve got her digits…. now what?

It’s time to man up.

But how? And where? And what does it mean to be a confident attractive male these days? How do you respond when she says she wants to be ‘met’?

Join your fellow brothers who have similar questions. Learn how to embody your full masculine presence and truly pleasure a woman.

Whether you learned about sex from a misinformed older brother or through the narrow lens of traditional porn, this is your opportunity to learn from two experts in the field who are willing to share their decades of wisdom consolidated into a powerful 1-day workshop that will have you on your feet (and sweeping her off hers!) in no time at all.

Your time is valuable. And this workshop will save you tons of it. No more mistaking her signs, wasting time chasing women who aren’t interested in you as a lover, feeling like sex is ok but wanting it to be Rockstar, or wondering why you got ghosted after the first date or intimate encounter.

You’ll learn…

  • How to approach and penetrate a woman energetically to magnetically create attraction
  • The anatomy of pleasure and the science around touch
  • How to touch her externally AND internally
  • Simple communication techniques that reduce drama and increase intimacy
  • How to experience pleasure in your body while pleasuring her
  • The signs you’re doing a great job

This workshop will be led by Dan Powers, CSB, ECTE, CSP and Ann DeSutter, RN, BSN, ACTE. Together, they have decades of experience working with literally hundreds of women to bring them ecstatic pleasure. You’ll receive presentation-style education followed by experiential practices on communication skills and techniques. The day will end with a demonstration to help you visually understand the art of touching a woman.

There will be no nudity by participants. However, there will be a nude female model during the demonstration. If this is something you’re not comfortable watching, you’ll be given the opportunity to leave. But don’t worry – you’ll have received the full teachings prior to the demonstration.

What have you got to lose? Your inhibition around women.
