Reclaiming Life Force, Love, and Liberation
We are tapping into the power of Eros, the energy that can burn through everything standing between you and your soul’s fullest expression.
Eros is a great magnifier—it brings to light insecurities, fears, and deeply buried shadow patterns, especially those surrounding sexuality, making it impossible to hide from the parts of yourself you’d rather avoid. But in this confrontation, there’s a chance for transformation, an opportunity to meet these shadows with compassion.
Through this work, we sift through the baggage we've mistaken for Eros and rediscover the pure signal beneath, reconnecting with wonder, magic, and joy.
In this place of deep authenticity, the divine flows freely through you and transformation occurs.
"In the presence of love, all that does not know it is love yet, comes up to be met by love"
"This retreat ripped open my heart, raised a lot of emotions inside me… but I felt safe”
— Andy Eastwood (Participant Mar 2023)
