Men’s Weekend Retreat
Los Angeles, CA
June 12-14, 2026
If you’re a man who feels stuck in your sex life…if shame, secrecy, freezing, dissociation, or overthinking keep getting in the way…if you want to feel more confident in your body and clearer in your desires…then this is for you.
This is for you—the weary, the seeking, the brave. Step in. Ignite.
Embodied Eros: The Art of Erotic Confidence
A non-residential men’s sexuality + embodiment retreat in Los Angeles (June 12–14, 2026)
Embodied Eros is a consent-centered, shame-literate, nervous-system-aware men’s retreat designed for men who want more ease, clarity, and self-trust in their erotic lives.
This is not a weekend of “perform better.”
It’s a weekend of coming home to yourself.
We’ll work with the real reasons many men get stuck in intimacy:
sexual shame and secrecy
freezing (going blank), dissociation (checking out), and overthinking (trying to control the moment)
difficulty naming what you want
fear of asking directly
anxiety around boundaries, rejection, and being seen
You’ll learn practical tools for embodied confidence, clean communication, and sexual self-trust…without pressure, without trauma-dumping, and without needing to be anyone other than who you are.
The container
Consent is the culture. Regulation over revelation. Dignity always.
This is a shame-literate men’s sexuality retreat where safety is not a buzzword. It’s built into the structure.
Core values you can count on:
Opt-in, always. You can observe at any time and still fully participate.
Confidentiality and dignity. Stories stay. Learning leaves.
No trauma dumping. We build shame resilience without forced disclosure.
No pressure to be sexual. The goal is choice—more agency, more clarity, more truth.
Clear boundaries. Clothed practices, explicit consent norms, and the freedom to pause.
A New You, With Your Feet Still on the Ground
Imagine you’re back home…same life, same responsibilities…yet something fundamental has shifted.
Not in a loud, performative way.
In a quiet, unmistakable way.
You’re more inside yourself. More connected to your body. Less at war with your desire. You hold your head a little higher because you’re no longer negotiating with shame every time intimacy gets real.
Here’s what that can look like after Embodied Eros:
Embodied Erotic Confidence
You’re no longer trying to “think” your way through sex.
You recognize the moment your system starts to freeze, dissociate, or overanalyze…and you know how to come back. Desire becomes something you can feel and trust, not something you have to manage.
Shame-Resilient Sexuality
Your sexuality feels less like a secret to hide and more like a truth you can hold with dignity. You don’t need to be perfect to be worthy. You don’t spiral as easily. And when shame shows up, you have a new relationship with it: you can name it, regulate, and choose.
Cleaner Communication, Better Intimacy
You become the kind of man who can ask. Clearly. Kindly. Without apology. You can request pace, touch, change, and reassurance without collapsing into embarrassment. You can hear “no” without taking it as a verdict on your desirability. That alone changes everything.
A Deeper Sense of Groundedness
Not “spiritual” in a performative way. More like…anchored. You feel more present in your body. More settled in your nervous system. More connected to something steady inside you that doesn’t disappear when you’re nervous, horny, uncertain, or vulnerable.
More Authentic Relationships
When you’re not hiding, you don’t have to perform. You start showing up more honestly with dates, partners, friends, and even yourself. That authenticity has a gravity to it. It attracts different conversations, different connections, different outcomes.
Brotherhood You Can Actually Feel
This weekend isn’t just content. It’s contact with yourself and with other men who get it.
You leave with the memory of being witnessed without being judged, and the nervous system evidence that you are not alone. That kind of brotherhood doesn’t fade quickly.
This retreat isn’t the end of your journey. It’s a turning point.
A catalyst. A reset. A return.
You’ll go home with tools you can use in real life, and a quieter kind of confidence that comes from self-trust…not performance.
And the next time intimacy asks you to be real, you won’t have to disappear.
What to expect.
This is a consent-centered, non-residential men’s retreat that blends practical teaching with structured, opt-in experiences. Nothing is forced. You can participate fully while still going at your pace.
You can expect:
Guided meditations to help you land in your body, regulate your nervous system, and build erotic self-trust
Shame Literacy + Shame Mapping so you can understand your patterns (freeze, dissociate, overthink) and learn what to do in real time
Nervous system education focused on sexuality, arousal, anxiety, and shutdown…with simple tools you’ll actually use
Clean Ask + Boundary practice (asking for what you want clearly, saying no cleanly, hearing no without spiraling)
Structured connection exercises like eye gazing and dyads, designed to build safety, presence, and authentic brotherhood
A consent-centered Sensation Play Lab using texture, temperature, pressure, and breath so you can practice pacing and feedback in your body
Integration work for dating, hookups, and relationships, including scripts and confidence labs you can take into real life
Daily closing “seals” so you leave steady, grounded, and not emotionally raw
Everything is invitational, adjustable, and designed to help you feel more confident in your body—without pressure, performance, or shame.
Who This Retreat Is For:
This weekend is for you if you’re a man who:
feels stuck in your sex life, even if things look “fine” on the outside
carries sexual shame or secrecy that makes intimacy tense or complicated
tends to freeze, dissociate, or overthink when things get vulnerable or erotic
feels disconnected from your body, numb, guarded, or “in your head”
struggles to name what you want…or ask for it directly
wants to feel more grounded, confident, and present with partners
is ready for practical skills rooted in consent, integrity, and self-respect
This retreat welcomes men across orientations and relationship structures. The common thread is not identity. It’s desire for embodied self-trust.
Who This Retreat Is Not Suited For:
This retreat may not be the right fit if you:
want a sexually explicit retreat, or genital-focused work
are looking for hookups, cruising, or an environment designed for sexual contact
are not willing to practice consent, boundaries, and respectful communication
prefer to stay in cynicism, performative bravado, or “one-up” energy
are currently in acute crisis and need a higher level of support than a group retreat can offer
are unwilling to work gently with your nervous system (this weekend is about pacing, not pushing)
If you’re unsure, we can clarify fit during the brief pre-retreat call.

Your Questions, Answered
-
This is an erotic confidence retreat, not a sexually explicit weekend. The focus is on self-trust, embodiment, communication, boundaries, and shame resilience—not sexual performance or sexual contact.
-
No. This is a skills-based, educational retreat focused on nervous system regulation, shame literacy, embodied communication, and consent-centered practices. It can be deeply healing, but it isn’t psychotherapy, and it’s not a substitute for mental health treatment. If you’re in crisis or need clinical support, we can help you consider whether this is the right fit right now.
-
There may be nudity and erotic touch in some of the workshops, but nudity and touch are always optional, and you are not required to be nude or touch/be touched.
-
Some exercises involve opt-in, consent-based touch (for example: hand holding, a steady hand on the shoulder/upper arm, or structured rituals like foot washing). Touch is always:
explicitly requested and agreed to first
adjustable (location, duration, intensity)
easy to pause or decline
You can also choose no-touch participation and still get a full experience.
-
Consent is the culture here. Everything is invitational, opt-in, and adjustable.
You can say yes, no, or maybe at any point
You can pause at any time without explaining
We use clear consent language and practices throughout
“No” is respected immediately, without persuasion or pressure
We also use simple traffic-light cues: Green / Yellow / Red to help communicate in the moment.
-
No. We practice regulation over revelation. You’ll never be pushed to disclose anything you don’t want to share. Sharing is always optional, and we focus on patterns and skills rather than confession.
-
Wear comfortable, movement-friendly clothing. Think:
sweatpants / joggers / gym shorts
t-shirt / tank / long sleeve
socks (recommended)
You may also bring a sarong or robe if you like having an extra layer for comfort.
-
Journal + pen (or use what we provide)
Water bottle
A light layer (rooms can run cool)
Any personal regulation items that help you feel grounded (small object, beads, etc.)
-
No. This retreat is for men of any orientation who resonate with the theme: shame, disconnection, freezing/dissociation/overthinking, and wanting more erotic self-trust and communication skill. You’ll be asked to respect the diversity of the group.
-
You’re in good company. Many men arrive feeling guarded. The retreat is designed specifically for men who freeze, overthink, or feel exposed in group settings. You can participate at your own pace, including observing when needed. “Quiet” is welcome here.
-
We plan for that. Each day includes grounding practices, clear pacing, and closing “seals” so you don’t leave raw. You’ll have tools to regulate in the moment, and facilitators will support you in pausing, adjusting, or stepping out briefly if needed.
-
Yes. You’ll complete a brief questionnaire and have a 15-minute call before the retreat. This helps ensure the group feels safe, aligned, and properly supported.
-
This is non-residential. You’ll go home (or to your hotel) each night. We’ll provide recommendations for nearby lodging if you’re coming from out of town.
-
Yes. Many partnered men attend. The skills—regulation, communication, boundaries, shame resilience—support better intimacy in any relationship structure.
-
If you feel stuck in your erotic life, carry shame or secrecy, and want practical tools to feel more present and confident in your body, then this is likely a strong fit. If you’re unsure, the pre-retreat call is the place to clarify.
