Voyage into Presence ™ : A 3-Day Immersive Journey of Self-Discovery & Connection | Oakland, CA
Step away from daily distractions and into a space of deep connection, self-discovery, and embodied presence. Whether single or partnered, this experience invites you to awaken your senses, release what no longer serves you, and cultivate confidence, balance, and empowerment.
Together we calibrate the experience of presence to investigate our Energetic, Physical, and Internal realms so we can grow Awareness, Intimacy, and Synergy.

What You’ll Experience
☑️ Awaken Your Senses – engage in rituals that heighten awareness and help understand where & how we lose presence.
☑️ Release What Holds You Back – let go of emotional and energetic burdens.
☑️ Cultivate Inner Balance – harmonize your inner polarities and archetypes.
☑️ Expand Intimacy & Connection – explore boundaries, desires, and deeper presence with yourself and others.
If you often feel pulled in multiple directions, struggle to stay present or find it hard to express your true desires, this retreat is designed for you. Through guided rituals, you will develop the tools to engage fully with yourself and others, express authentic boundaries, and move through life with greater ease and confidence.
