Barcelona…

Imagine this…

Six days of immersion into a sensual and pleasure pilgrimage back to your body, nestled in the exotic landscape of nature unfettered.

Pamela Madsen ImageARE YOU READY TO BLOW OFF THOSE EROTIC COBWEBS AND GET YOUR OWN LAVA FLOWING?

This is the retreat for those that want to experience the ancient wildness of mother nature as they travel into the land of their own erotic natures.

We will be just 200 yards from Kehena Beach, one of the most beautiful black sand beaches in the world. Dolphins and sea turtles can be seen off the beach year-round, making snorkeling and swimming an exciting sight-seeing adventure. In January, whales put on a display which can be seen all along the coast road and from Kehena Beach.

Our retreat center which will be completely ours and private is in the Puna district, just south of Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii. The Puna district is home to a colorful community of artists, writers, farmers and free spirits.

Imagine slowing down and heating up in an extraordinary landscape ranging from rain forests and lava fields to farms blooming with an abundance of papayas, mangos, orchids, pineapples and macadamia nuts.

Imagine this…

Seven nights and six days of immersion into a sensual and pleasure pilgrimage back to your body nestled in an extraordinary venue that is built into a side of a cliff with panoramic views of the most gorgeous and wild wilderness. We will be welcoming “The Queen” at 8000 feet . Back to the Body is having the most magnificent of Rocky Mountain Highs and if you are a mid life woman; this retreat is right for you. Join us for a retreat centered around being the Queen of your self self. It’s the miss and essential archetype for mid life women.

This very special workshop is designed especially for women who are no longer “Maidens’, and are completing the “Mother”  and entering the land with no names other than peri-menopause and menopause. This is the land with no name — between the archetypes of “Mother” and “Crone”.  The world is just awakening to the woman who is between the “Mother” and the “Crone”.  We will be welcoming “The Queen” at this retreat.  This can be the hottest time of your life — or a time of numbness. This workshop is all about welcoming the hot Queen.

This home is built directly into the side of the mountain with 20’ boulders on each side of the entrance to the front door, huge boulders nestled into the Great Room, and 3 waterfalls cascading from the dining room down into the living room.

The Opening @ Easton Mountain
Apr 5 @ 9:00 pm – Apr 8 @ 9:00 pm

the-opening-bw.pngThe Opening is a newly created opportunity for women who have never attended a Back to the Body Retreat and are curious about the possibilities.

This brand new special immersion retreat is also a wonderful way for women who have attended a Back to the Body Retreat to stay connected and hone their tools between retreats. The Opening has been created for all women who are seeking a way to simply begin their pilgrimage or stay connected to their journey.

This immersion retreat (our first on the east coast) is different than our core programs in other locations, and allows women who are holding curiosity in their bodies about what somatic sex education can offer to participate more easily.

This is an opportunity to actually begin and feel this work rather than just talk about it.  The Opening is about making “Someday” a real possibility.

We believe that the secret sauce is in touch and immersion. Join us for four days and nights in upstate NY beginning on April 5th through April 8th in a rustic and comfortable venue as we join hands to meet ourselves in the deepest of levels.

At this retreat you will receive:

Lodging and meals

An introduction to Somatic Sex Education

Two One on One Personalized Sessions with a Certified Somatic Sex Educator

Session One: An Introduction to The Table, Touch and the Practice

Session Two: Introduction to Arousal

Live Demo and Teaching centered around the two sessions that each woman will experience.

Morning Yoga Practice

Lotus Lift Meditation

Sexuality Coaching

Clearing Rituals of the Masculine and Feminine

Healing the Mother Wound and Opening to Sisterhood

Rewriting Our Body Stories

Optional Taster Boudoir Photo shoot with Back to the Body Photographer, Sway
