When I say PLEASURE, I’m not talking about short-lived moments of snatched gratification. This isn’t about momentarily relieving a craving, riding the dopamine rush.
I’m talking about sustained waves of bliss, enjoyment, contentment.
It’s a warm glow, radiating from within.
As Dr. Saira Desilets reminds us, there’s nothing frivolous about our experience of pleasure. Pleasure is HEALTH. The cocktail of bio-chemicals released as we breathe, touch and move our bodies pleasurably are working within us: healing; restoring; boosting our immune system all at once.
What people say about working with Emily:
“She really is a high priestess of somatic work and held us all with such kindness”
“I don’t know anyone else who is doing this kind of work in the same way”
“The best healing therapy I have ever undertaken”
“A major junction in my life feels negotiated ”
“Emily is an extremely gifted healer and teacher ”
“I can’t express to you how nourishing and joyful it felt to be in such a beautiful space with you”
“Emily has such intuitive, gentle and warm approach”
I’m wondering:
What did you learn about healing from our culture?
Does it have to be arduous, painful, difficult, complicated?
Do you have to endlessly talk about your childhood trauma?
Do you have to continuously search for the reason why you are as you are?
I wish I’d known long ago that healing could and should be deeply pleasurable, fun and relaxed.
Working somatically, with our bodies, we can approach every sensation with great curiosity and warmth.
We learn to stop judging and labelling our experiences.
We head straight for processing, digesting our experiences as they arise, by fully feeling what’s here in the moment.
With practice, we can grow our capacity to receive and hold pleasurable sensations, and experience physical, emotional and mental health as a result.
During this retreat we’ll enjoy:
Liberating intuitive movement practices
Transformational breathwork for a deep release of healing energy
Inquisitive self massage
Expressive voice work
Powerful music choices to bring about deep states of connection with your insides
Delicious nourishing vegan delights: two gorgeous meals, two indulgent snacks, tea and ceremonial cacao
I’ve healed my food and body image issues by learning to move, breathe and sound intuitively, following my body’s pleasure as my primary guide.
My clients are also learning to use their pleasure as an inner compass to guide their lives. They are learning to listen to their bodies, to breathe and move and sound their bodies in pleasurable ways.
This simple act of choosing each day to roll around, breathe, feel and touch your own body can radically change your life.
We can pleasure ourselves to freedom.
What core issue needs to be addressed in your life, right now?
What struggle is ready to be released?
