Curriculum
This retreat explores boundaries and consent
The first and most essential step in working with Eros as Medicine is cultivating a deep understanding of boundaries and consent. Through this, you will learn how to feel your authentic “yes” and “no” in your body, and practice standing firm in that truth. The ability to hold your ground, even when others may not respect your boundaries or attempt to persuade you, is one of the most powerful tools you’ll take away from this journey.
Takeaway: Develop a stronger connection to your body’s wisdom and learn to uphold your boundaries with confidence, creating a foundation for healthy, respectful relationships with others and yourself.
This retreat explores emotions
True healing requires a safe and grounded space to fully experience and express emotions, even the ones we’ve hidden or suppressed. We’ll give you practical tools to engage with your emotional reality—whether it’s fear, joy, grief, or anger—and move through it with awareness. These tools aren’t just for the retreat; they’re for life, helping you navigate the emotional waves of your everyday experience.
Takeaway: Gain practical tools to navigate and express your emotions in a safe, healthy, and non-destructive way, building emotional resilience and deep self-understanding..
This retreat explores nudity
Our bodies are sacred vessels, and we often carry shame or discomfort around them. In this retreat, we explore ways to rebuild intimacy, trust, and love with your own body—the animal that faithfully carries you through life. Nudity is explored, but always with respect, and never with pressure.
Safety: Nudity is always optional. There is never any requirement to be naked, and you will always be in control of your level of comfort and participation.
Takeaway: Cultivate a more loving and trusting relationship with your body, free from the shame or conditioning imposed by society.
This retreat explores touch
Touch is one of the most potent ways to experience the divine and connect with others. But how does your body truly want to be touched, if at all? And how do you offer touch in a way that is fully present, conscious, and aligned with your truth? We’ll explore this with reverence, while honoring boundaries.
Safety: Touch is never mandatory. You will always have full autonomy over your experience—there is no requirement to touch or be touched by anyone unless it feels completely aligned for you.
Takeaway: Experience the power of sacred, intentional touch—or discover your boundaries around it—learning how to interact with others from a place of full presence and consent.
This retreat explores sexual energy
Suitable for all genders, sexualities, and relationship styles, this retreat will help you explore the raw life force of Eros—the creative, passionate energy that flows through all of us. We strip away conditioning and shame to uncover the unique expression of Eros that lives within you, and you’ll learn how to channel that energy into every area of your life—not just in the bedroom.
Safety: Sharing sexual energy is never mandatory. This is a deeply personal exploration, and your boundaries will always be respected. You choose the pace and depth of your engagement.
Takeaway: Discover how to work with your sexual energy as a creative and transformative force in your life, free from shame or restriction.
This retreat explores shadow
“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced. “ -James Baldwin
Eros as Medicine doesn’t shy away from the hard stuff. This is not always about experiencing bliss or joy—sometimes it’s about confronting your shadows, facing the parts of yourself you’ve avoided or buried. Eros has the power to bring your deepest fears, insecurities, and patterns to the surface, offering you the opportunity to heal. But this is not a journey you take alone; we hold you in safety, love, and compassion as you face what needs to be faced.
Takeaway: Embrace the shadow aspects of yourself with courage and love, learning to work with them rather than hide from them.
This retreat does not explore genital penetration.
Penetration is intentionally out of the scope of this retreat. There is a vast landscape of Eros to explore—touch, energy, connection, and shadow—before we ever need to move toward penetration. We honor the mystery and the sacredness of the journey, and leave space for other explorations that don’t involve this physical act.
Takeaway: Discover the depth and richness of Eros beyond physical penetration, exploring new dimensions of connection and intimacy.
As we journey past thresholds, we encounter deeper and deeper layers of the mystery that moves us. Beyond the known there is the unknown... and then there is the unknowable - the core of infinite potentiality. There are already infinite universes to explore before we reach penetration, which is a whole other layer of mystery.
"I feel as though I’m born again, shedding years of conditioning and self-loathing patterns.
My feet have been set upon a new and exciting path."

Beyond Improving Your Sex and relAtional Life
- This is A Shift in Consciousness -
This retreat is not just about improving your sex life; it’s about transforming your very understanding of what sex and Eros truly are. Many of us grow up with ideas of sex shaped by society, culture, and religion—ideas rooted in shame, guilt, or superficial pleasure. Here, you’ll discover that Eros is far more than an act or a means to an end. It is a powerful life force, a doorway to deeper connection with yourself, others, and the world around you.
For those who come from more scientific or rational backgrounds (as I did), words like sacred or divine may feel abstract or even off-putting. But this work offers an embodied experience of these concepts—one that cannot be fully explained until you’ve lived it. It’s not about adopting a belief system; it’s about feeling, knowing, and experiencing what those words mean at the core of your being.
You’ll leave this retreat with a whole new understanding of Eros as a tool for transformation, healing, and connection to life itself—not just something to be used, but something to be experienced as a sacred aspect of your being.

Safety and Support
Throughout this retreat, safety is our highest priority. We understand that working with Eros and shadow can bring up deeply personal material. Everything is held within a secure, compassionate, and fully supported environment. Consent, boundaries, and emotional safety are at the core of every exercise. Nothing is ever mandatory, and you are always in control of your experience.
Facilitators and Assistants
You will be supported by experienced facilitators and assistants who are there to ensure you feel safe, respected, and held at every step of your journey.
"I felt so safe during this retreat... It’s one of the safest spaces I've ever worked in."
— Jenna Kitchingham (participant Mar 2023)
Everyone moved at their own pace and got something out of each exercise. Sometimes small, sometimes massive and profound. I witnessed real changes in a very short space of time.
