Pussy Church Retreat
October 29th-November 2nd 2026
Join us in our 4th year of Pussy Church with 5 days and 4 nights of tantalizing practices to arouse your sacred portals of pleasure in a stunning sandstone canyon with yellowing Cottonwood trees over Samhain. The most delicious recipe to awaken your eco-erotic witch within.
❋ Intentional StructurePussy Church is a living temple co-created to inspire participants to remember and worship all that is holy—all that truly matters in this one wild and precious life.
The container is built on the foundation of a magical home of practices and ritual (that really work!) but also welcomes Mystery and the power of the emergent moment.
❋ Lean in This retreat is specifically designed to lovingly bring you to your seductive edges and invites you to courageously lean in. It will take you deep into the consciousness of pussy, sweeping up the cobwebs of any forgotten potential, and weaving a new web that allows you to become more intimately whole.
❋ Take it with youYou can expect to leave this retreat feeling in love with your body and being, connected to and deserving of your pleasure, claiming your sexy, inspired by the Earth body & natural world, fierce sisterhood/siblinghood, integrated in your healing, initiated in your own magic and magnificence, confident of your power, and totally alive!
❋ You are the honeyPussy Church is the space to welcome the holy darkness and honor what/who is composting to make way for the one ready to emerge.
Can you feel yourself shimmering in the goo of you—the soup of your own imaginal cells—like the caterpillar transforming to be reborn—into moth—into butterfly?
Pussy Church is for you if…
You know you’re being reshaped and longing for a place to emerge as your unique flavor of an eco-erotic wild witch
You know the sensuous and erotic are pathways to living a fully alive and inspired life—even if you’re unsure how
You want to trust your body again and desire to live from the wisdom and consciousness of pussy
We arrive there through pleasure practices, somatic movement, ritual, song, nature connection, coven magic, the emergent moment, and so much more
"She encourages humans to remain multi-lingual; fluent in the languages of dreams, passion, and poetry. She whispers from night dreams, she leaves behind on the terrain of a woman's soul a coarse hair and muddy footprints. These fill women with longing to find her, free her, and love her."-Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Our first full day together will lovingly invite you to turn and face the blocks/wounds/shame of body and soul that hold you back from the fullest (unique) expression of your alive, wild, and sensuous self.

Within every great journey, there is a return. At Pussy Church, it is first a return to yourself. And after a revealing and soulful closing ritual, it’s time to return to the village, your community, and your relationships outside of this container. Who you are, who you have always been, who you have become, and who you are inspired to be walks with you. The Earth flirts back with you.
You are initiated back into your life filled with purpose, your zest for being fully alive, your love of your body and earth body pulses through you. You, drenched in eros returns.

Questions & Notes-
This retreat is for women, non-binary folks, and vulva owners.
Expansive gender identities are welcome here and inclusive language will be spoken.
Please know, the work we do together often explores the experience of being socialized as female and centers the reclamation and honoring of the feminine. If that feels aligned for you, you are warmly invited.
And if you’re unsure whether this space is the right fit, please reach out — I’m always happy to have the conversation.
Additionally this space welcomes and celebrates our neurospicy, different-ability, sex worker, and bipoc witches. -
YES! Thanks to a generous donor and past participant, we are offering two $1000 scholarships.
This is available to BIPOG (black, indigenous, people of global majority) womxn only.BIPOG folks are warmly welcomed and celebrated here. I honor the ways our bodies carry history, and I hold this retreat with a commitment to respect, safety, and reverence for all lineages. May you feel met, cherished, and free to be all of you.
I want to acknowledge and name that these types of spaces can often be predominately white-bodied and filled with an imbalance of privilege and power dynamics. (something I hope to see shift)I acknowledge my own shortcomings, past mistakes, and likelihood of future mistakes and, I aim to keep showing up, to continue learning and listening, and to make my best attempt at creating a space that feels inclusive, safe-enough, welcoming, and honoring for all bodies and lived experiences.
Pleasure is a birthright…for every body.
Please fill out this short form if you are interested in receiving a scholarship.

Pleasure practices can often involve the genitals—but they get your whole body involved. They support you to awaken your sensations, experience the divine, digest stagnant energy, heal old wounds, and discover all that your body is capable of feeling.
Some pleasure practices may include the use of toys/tools such as yoni wands and eggs. You are not required to have them, but they can be supportive. If you need to purchase them, please give yourself enough time for them to arrive in the mail. We will share more with you about our favorite tools and places to buy them.
Nudity is welcomed and celebrated at this retreat, though you are never required to get naked. Your sovereign choice to participate or not is always invited.
There will be no explicit sexual contact between participants in the group spaces.
-
This retreat takes place on the ancestral lands of the Ute, Diné (Navajo), and Puebloan peoples. We acknowledge the complex and ongoing history of colonization and Indigenous displacement, and we commit to approaching our time here with respect, humility, and integrity. Participants are invited to be in conscious relationship with the land and its stories throughout the retreat.
-
Though we will use some indoor spaces, much of this retreat will take place outdoors. Some practices and invitations will be on the land and in the canyon. Getting to the canyon could be challenging for those with certain mobility needs. If you have specific mobility needs, please reach out to me to see what we can work out. While I aim to make my offerings accessible for all femme bodies, this land could pose significant challenges.

This retreat takes place in McElmo Canyon just outside Cortez, CO.
The closest airport (<10 min drive) is a very small regional airport in Cortez, CO (CEZ). We will be hiring a local woman to run shuttles from this airport for a reasonable fee. This fee is not covered in the retreat price.
CEZ is the best airport to fly into and all flights route from Denver or Phoenix. Please try to fly into this airport if possible.
If you need to, you can also fly into Durango (DRO). Be sure you are looking at Durango, Colorado (DRO) not Durango, Mexico!
Carpooling from both airports with other participants has worked well in the past
We will ask each of you to provide your travel details as we get closer. Please let us know if you will require a shuttle.
-
