The Invitation and Initiation have at their core the same teachings. The difference is in the degree of hands-on work we are able to do in the workshop. In the Initiation, we have more latitude for hands on healing. Please continue reading for a full understanding of this work.
The journey to discovering our full potential is found within sisterhood. We come together in a circle of wisdom with the intention of bringing the gift of healing and awakening to ourselves and to one another and to celebrate our aliveness.
Many women who attend are already alive in their passion center. Many others have a lifetime of fear and contraction held in their sexual core. By courageously trusting in our feminine wisdom, we dissolve the fear that separates us from the source of our power. We create a safe place for nurturing touch to take us into the wholeness of our fully awake Radiant Self.
The Invitation at Esalen ranges from $370 to $655, depending on accommodation.

The "Awakened Masculine" weekend is a reclaiming of the power, potency, and presence of the male erotic soul. Exploring new ways of BE-ing with fierce awareness, we stretch the boundaries of what is possible.
Knowing we are going where we want to go - "the full embodiment of presence" - is both the challenge and calling for men. By aligning with our true purpose we embrace the mystery of our dual nature. The harmonizing of our deep masculine wisdom (logos) and true power (eros) brings an effective way of living moment to moment as embodied presence.

This module focuses on the development of skills that can help us more successfully share our truth with others. Conscious communication is a skill we must master in order to have relationships in which everyone feels safe. In our deep, intimate connections, and in the sexual healing realm, we must communicate clearly and effectively. Here, we awaken our throat Chakra, which develops and empowers our creative voice. Using “toning” exercises with NAH practice, we learn to move energy through our entire body. As we come to trust ourselves fully, we claim our natural power.
