No. This work is transformational enough without any substances. We usually do hold a cacao ceremony, which is literally drinking melted raw chocolate with a few adaptogenic herbs. It has a stimulant effect similar to caffeine and helps to open the heart.
I combine modern relationship psychology with spirituality and a breadth of facilitation and transformational experience to fix issues and guide you both toward deeper embodiment of sacred relationships. I hosted a men’s circle for 3 years and deeply learned the psyche of modern men. I also practiced as an attorney for 13 years and honed mediation skills as well as a grounded approach to communicating and understanding esoteric spiritual principles.
No.
NO!!!!! Absolutely not. For your safety and boundaries as well as mine, I keep and demand a respectful container between facilitators and couples. In a private retreat, I never enter your bedroom, and we only interact in our common area where we create a workshop Temple space. I may guide and teach physical intimacy techniques and tantra WITH CLOTHES ON that you and your partner practice together. And, there is always an alternative technique, practice, or tool to substitute for anything you do not feel comfortable with doing. Feel welcome to take those tools into the bedroom AFTER our Retreat! Also note, that primarily we are working with energy, alignment, healing, space holding, forgiveness, communication, connection, learning, healthy conflict, new commitments and tools, and physical intimacy is the little cherry on top of the new depths and trust that is built.
A monogamous experience. No disrespect to the poly-loving couples, but our retreats are for practicing monogamy better. Our principles also work for the mostly monogamous. Whatever one of our couples does outside of our container is up to them, and no judgment on their consensual agreements. However, to be clear, I do not get involved sexually with my clients, and keep a tight sexual relationship with my partner. Also, our group couples retreats are not invitations for couples to experiment outside their relationship with the other couples.
Generally masculine and feminine principles apply in straight or non-traditional relationships. While I’ve had gay and lesbian couples attend my workshops with great results, I have not facilitated a deep private container. If you feel called to my energy and approach, let’s have a conversation and see if it is aligned for us both.
