Goals of the group

Pleasure is so significant and important for most of us individually but there’s limited avenues to understand ourselves better or discuss and learn from each other. If we dont talk about it, don’t discuss it, we don’t want to go through our entire lives with a feeling that we could have and should have explored more. This group is a space to rewires our thought process, overcome shame if any, identify our desires and safely explore them.

Who is it for?

This group is a women's only group. You can be single, commited, married or somewhere in between. When we believe we simply aren’t good enough, our marriage isn’t good enough, our partner isn’t good enough, we simply give up. We find comfort in that role of passive bystander. It’s comforting because it’s safe. It’s familiar. It’s what we know. This group is an opportunity to break the inertia and explore more.
