Love is a Burning Thing. – June Carter Cash

You Were Wild Once Here. Don’t Let Them Tame You. – Isadora Duncan

• Are you yearning to embody a vibrant, regenerative, creative and loving sexual self?
• Do you wish you could accept your body, open your heart, and embrace the power of your own sexuality?
• Does your true expression of pleasure, passion and attraction generate rejection, accusations or shaming from your family or yourself?
• Would you like to understand current sexual trends in the context of evolutionary human history?

Now is your time to have the doors of your heart opened by the fire that extends from the hot Sun to the core of the Earth to the flame of life that burns from root to crown!

During this unique and memorable weekend, you will dig into the ancient roots of human sexuality and illuminate your innate capacities for love, pleasure, sensuality, and sacred sexual power.  Our sexual energy is representative of our creative life force. When it is suppressed or pained, we can feel out of alignment with our joy, dreams, and deepest desires.  How are we supposed to love in the ways we want to be loved if we are feeling cut-off, burdened by shame or wrought with anger, hurt, or the desire to withdraw?

Our sexuality extends far beyond a sexual act…it is a power unto ourselves that can be delighted by the sound of the ocean waves, the smell of an open flower, or the amazement of a shooting star.  It is our own and exists in relationship with ourselves first and foremost.  And yet, our hearts hold the memory of generations of sexual oppression – rape, incest, sexual abuse, harassment, physical and emotional abuse, sexual diseases, unwanted pregnancies, adoptions, lover’s betrayals, denigration, shame, abandonment, lack of validation for one’s beauty, sexual addictions, obsessive fantasies, confusion surrounding drunken sex, viruses, cysts, tumors, and more.

How are we to reclaim the freedom to embrace and celebrate our sexual power when history has cut a wound so deep that we forget it exists?  Many of us fear the fine line between igniting the passion of ecstasy or setting fire to our whole existence. 

Emily Blefeld and Dan Cohen will guide you to tune-in to your mind, body and heart and connect with the fire that burns deep within you and the hearts of those that came before you.  Together, we will explore the three dimensions of ordinary, ancestral and spiritual consciousness while opening the doors to a revolutionary understanding of your own sexuality.
