Jonathan Hudson

“I loved your energy and passion. Your enthusiasm and knowledge for the materials that was covered was very refreshing. Your devotion and love to Heike was beautiful to experience. Your dedication for the well-being of the feminine was clear through your work and expression. I also appreciated how you held a very safe, clean, authentic, gentle and genuine space as the masculine facilitator. Thank you!!“I thought you held a powerful container and I loved the way you would often do a more masculine or even scientific wrap up of the current topic at hand. I also thought that your bravery really was a turning moment in the whole week. Thank you for that.”

“Excellent mastery over entire course. Very knowledgeable and able to transmit the knowledge with ease and grace. I enjoyed your presence. You are a shining example of what it is to be a vulnerable and embodied man. Thank you for whatever it took for you to deliver the course the way you did.”

“Appreciate his enthusiasm for the subject and passion! Despite his strong male energy, I felt cared for and safe. “

Heike Hudson

“I loved witnessing your partnership with Jonathan. It was beautiful to see a woman who is powerful, passionate and intelligent in her own truth holding such grounding and supportive space for her beloved while still being dedicated to her own craft. Your ability to dance with poise within the interaction of your union was inspiring to witness. I loved seeing you fully surrendering to Johnathan during your transmission/demo. I felt your gentle and kind heart every time you shared and spoke. The energy and presence you held for the container was grounding to my body. Thank you!”

“Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. I loved receiving your knowledge and insights. The transmission with Jonathan was an honor to witness. Thank you for creating such a wonderful container for us to deepen our connection.”

“You held the feminine poll beautifully and in a fierce and deep way. I thought you and your delivery were totally on point.”

“I can close my eyes and hear Tri’s soft sexy and soothing voice guiding me into some visualization or taking me deeper into connection with myself or my beloved. I love how grounded and sensual (into my senses) your voice and words feel to me. I appreciate all that you added to the week’s training, especially bringing the elements of sacredness to our rituals and temples.”

“I loved witnessing your inner warrior and feminine strength. Your wisdom and knowledge for the work and materials shared was insightful and truly valuable. It is clear that you are sharing from your truth, your passion and your devotion to help/heal others. I loved experiencing your vulnerable side and the power of your rawness throughout the week. Your strength, voice and presence was a transmission that was palpable. Thank you all for creating this magical space to heal souls.”

“Tri’s intelligence, wisdom, and ways of delivering the content is easy to understand, and is absolutely amazing. Sometimes her delivery makes me feel like we’re going into a shamanic journey! I really appreciate that.”

While we understand that people want details, we also invite some mystery to unfold. Another way to look at this is that the facilitators have many experiences to choose from, depending on where the group energy wants to go. In allowing that mystery to unfold, we can offer a sneak peek.

We will be covering areas around getting emotionally current, the dance of polarities, advanced communication skills, dealing with triggers quickly and playfully, the world of energy, including sexual energy – what it is and how to play with it, many different types of touch, sexual anatomy,  sexual practices that involve intimate touch and connection, becoming each others sexual healer, and sexual rituals such as Sex Magic. And everyone will learn through education and then having the experience. 

And all of this is a journey. We start with the foundations and build up from there, especially regarding intimate touch. 

The facilitators all have a plethora of modalities from which they teach. The most important thing to know is that they teach what they embody in their relationships daily. It’s not really about the modalities themselves, as many are combinations of many different ones, honed into modem techniques that work. 

At our retreats, we are very clear that people  MUST stay with the partner they came with for  highly sensual or sexual practices. Our goal is that couples learn to focus on each other while being in the larger field of other couples doing the same exercises. You can be assured that you and your partner will feel very safe at our retreats. And while we don’t expect to have any problems, should anyone violate our policies, we have systems to handle it, including removing the person from the retreat. 

Absolutely! We welcome all gender and sexual identities of healthy couples who want to come and better their relationships and love. That said, the facilitators will teach primarily from a heteronormative perspective because that is who they are and what they embody in their relationships. Yet we make a conscious effort to ensure everyone feels included and respected. 

We do not support couples to attend who are in danger of breaking up, who are struggling with mental health challenges, or with drug, alcohol, or porn addiction.

No. We do not allow plant medicines at our retreat because, as beautiful as they are, we want to teach and show that the other-worldly realms can be felt and experienced in shamanic intimacy practices.

You will learn ways to see each other with fresh eyes daily, tools to help you move the emotions that get stuck in your body, ways to deeply connect with your body, advanced and fun communication skills to get through triggers quickly, how to discover what you want in the bedroom and how to ask for it, how to play with sexual energy, new ways to touch and pleasure your partner erotically, all about some fantastic secret pleasure spots no one ever told you about, how to take your partner to states of relaxation they have never experienced, how to be each other’s sexual healer, somatic tools, and sexual rituals to create and manifest that which you desire, and SO MUCH MORE! Plus, you will make some lifelong friends as we have amazing couples coming to our retreats who have all been screened to ensure they are a good fit. 

Yes. For some of the teachings and experiences, there will be times when people are nude, and there are intimate sexual touch skills and rituals being taught. Again, you will only be doing these with the partner you came with. The retreat center is also fine with nudity on the property as long as it is away from the front driveway due to deliveries that happen.

Absolutely not! You are always at choice. We encourage everyone to participate in the experiences. You can always adjust something to feel more comfortable or say no, which is also fine! However, we will ask you to stay in the group container for the totality of the experience.
