Upcoming In-Person Workshops
The Art of Capacity
Coed SomaticWorkshop to
ExpandYour Ability to Hold More in Life
Cellevate, Long Beach, CA
Sunday, June 28th, 2-6pm
Every desire has an equal and opposite unconscious desire.
If your nervous system doesn’t have the capacity to hold the intensity of what you say you want— more pleasure, money, intimacy, visibility, leadership, the ability to navigate conflict, responsibility, aliveness— we unconsciously collapse back into familiar patterns and limitations.
What we often call self-sabotage is frequently a capacity issue.
The good news:
Capacity is trainable across all terrains of life.
The Art of Capacity is a live somatic workshop designed to expand your ability to stay present with intensity without collapsing, shutting down, dissociating, over-functioning, or abandoning yourself.
We’ll explore capacity not just as a concept, but as a felt experience in the body— inlcuding an immersion in Cellevate’s Contrast Cave (cold plunge, sauna and jacuzzi), where we’ll practice meeting physical intensity and transferring that skill to other areas of life.
Come prepared to work your edges in real time inside a capacity expansion laboratory.
You’ll leave with practical tools, a deeper understanding of your unconscious patterns, and an embodied map for staying anchored at the edge of the life you say you want.

Capacity short-circuiting can show up as:
Avoiding conflict, over-explaining, people-pleasing, or losing your center when emotions arise
Hitting an income ceiling, then unconsciously creating chaos when more money finally acomes in
“Blowing your load,” — energetically, emotionally, financially, or sexually— when intensity builds.
Shrinking from visibility, pressure, leadership, or receiving
Contracting right at the edge you know you need to lean into
Contorting yourself to be liked, chosen, or safe
Together, we’ll explore:nervous system capacity and self-sabotage
unconscious competing desires
strengthening your “center of gravity”
somatic tools for staying with intensity
increasing your capacity for:
pleasure
conflict
money
visibility
leadership
emotional intensity
receiving
desire
stress and uncertainty
This won’t be purely conceptual.
We’ll work directly with capacity in real time through embodiment practices, relational exercises, and nervous system expansion work designed to stretch your edges while helping you stay grounded in yourself.
You’ll leave with:
practical somatic tools
greater awareness of your unconscious patterns
a deeper intimacy with discomfort and intensity
practices to continue expanding your capacity across every area of life
If you’ve felt yourself repeatedly collapsing at the edge of the life you say you want— this workshop is for you.
We will be in workshop space for 3 hours, with an additional hour in the Contrast Cave included in the price.
Dress comfortably. Bring a water bottle, snacks and extra layers if desired, and a swim suit and towel. Mats, bolsters, and blankets will be provided.
Soma Sanctuary
An Erotic Artistry Playshop forWomen
Cellevate, Long Beach, CA
Saturday, June 27th, 1-7pm
A day-long immersion into along the wild edge between Eros and creativity.
This is a curated sanctuary for women to court the pulse of aliveness within themselves, and the ways it ripples throughout all areas of life—
Outside of performance, repression, productivity, or orientation towards the male gaze— from a place of embodied sovereignty.
Together, we’ll explore the dance between erotic energy and creative life-force:
the intersection of desire, fear, beauty, grief, power, softness, play, and expression.
Through tantric embodiment practices, sensual movement, self-touch, conscious power dynamics, creative exploration, and relational exercises, we’ll cultivate deeper intimacy with ourselves, our bodies, and one another.
This is a space to feel more. Express more. Let the body speak.
To awaken the parts of yourself that have been longing to breathe.
If you’ve been feeling disconnected, numb, shut down, creatively blocked, rigid, hypervigilent, or simply hungry to feel more alive— this space is designed to fan the flames of the erotic pulse of your own life.
And if you already feel the pulse of Eros in your being and crave a space to share, play, explore and be witnessed by other women– this space is for you, too.
You’ll leave with your cup overflowing and a wealth of practices to continue courting the erotic pulse of aliveness across every terrain of life.
Come as you are.
Leave more expressed, embodied, and alive than when you arrived.
-
This space is designed to:
expand sensual and emotional aliveness
reconnect you to your body, desire, and creative current
deepen self-expression and erotic confidence
flirt with your edges in a grounded, supported way
nurture erotic sovereignty outside the male gaze
create genuine connection and sisterhood
Some portions of the journey will involve partnered or group exploration, while others will be inward and personal.
No explicit sexual contact will take place.
This is a highly erotically charged space rooted in consent, presence, embodiment, and reverence for the intelligence of the body.
We will have an hour lunch break in the afternoon, with healthy food options nearby. We’ll end with an hour in Cellevate’s Contrast Cave to decompress, integrate, and connect.
Wear what makes you feel sensually alive in your own skin, while also allowing you to move freely. Bring a water bottle, snacks and extra layers if desired, a swim suit, and a towel. Mats, bolsters, and blankets will be provided.
