ART of INTIMACY
A three-day immersion into liberated love — held on 25 acres of pine and cedar forest outside Austin.
Awaken the state of Eden — where erotic innocence, embodied love, and overflowing aliveness become our natural way of being.
Soften your armor. Awaken your senses. Return to intimacy from a place of innocence.
The Art of Intimacy Retreat is a 2-night container designed to awaken the state of Eden, where erotic innocence, embodied love, and overflowing aliveness become our natural way of being.
Through conscious touch, embodied play, movement, ritual, polarity, and deep human connection, you'll remember what it feels like to be fully present, deeply nourished, and exquisitely alive. Whether you're partnered, dating, exploring, or arriving on your own, this is an invitation to soften your armor and experience intimacy from a place of innocence.
This is for you if you're already walking a path of embodiment, healing, or leadership — ready to bring more truth, sensuality, and aliveness into how you love, alongside real community and honest reflection.

What participants carry home
"This retreat was a life-changing experience in the best way possible. Cracked my heart open so much. I am full of love now, ready to spread my wings and my femininity. Thank you."
"It was a place to belong, to be seen, to get intimate with your own heart, to feel the depth of vulnerability in removing the masks — layers of superficiality were shed, patterns were broken through, and we all became more authentic. I found myself doing all sorts of things creatively I never had before."
"I came home feeling super refreshed and rejuvenated — I felt content with life before, and now I feel truly happy and empowered when I look in the mirror."
