What would it be like to make pleasure a priority? As women in the modern world, it can be easy to find ourselves putting everything else first, leaving pleasure to the wayside. Maybe we know we want to feel good, but making time to actually sit and enjoy our daily cup of coffee, noticing how it tastes and enjoying the full experience of a daily ritual, is a challenge. Many of us might not even know what feels pleasurable to us anymore. This group is focused on reclaiming pleasure in our busy lives. As a group, we will process our individual and collective obstacles to pleasure (sexual and non-sexual), break down sex-negative stereotypes, and learn tools that make living a pleasure-filled life a possibility. Each session will contain a structured exploration, followed by time for processing our experiences together.

This group was created to be a space to connect in the collective experience of womanhood; overcoming the idea that we are alone, broken or abnormal. In this group, we will work to let go of shame, and better understand the many possibilities of pleasure our bodies are capable of. As a group, we will explore the role pleasure currently has in our lives, and tap into a deeper commitment to pleasure going forward.

Topics that may be explored include:
-Reconnecting to the body
-Identifying and dismantling shame
-Communicating your needs and desires
-Body image
-Managing stress and emotional regulation
-Prioritizing pleasure
-Crafting a pleasure practice

Scheduling a pre-group consultation is not a commitment to join the group.

In order to build a supportive group community, we ask for consistent attendance in this 6 week process group.

This group is intended for women over the age of 18. With that said, if you feel you would benefit from this group but aren't sure, please contact us anyways so we can complete an initial consultation.
