PAUSE: Reclaiming Power, Pleasure, and Sovereignty
Saturday, October 25, 2025 | 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM | Light Lunch Provided
Join us for the introduction to PAUSE, a transformative retreat that invites you to explore rest, healing, and self-honoring beyond colonial ideas of celibacy and pleasure. This three-day retreat is not about abstaining from sex to avoid pain or shame, but about choosing celibacy as an active practice that deepens self-awareness, restores personal power, and allows you to experience true peace and pleasure.
In this sacred space, we’ll dive into the benefits of PAUSE, including:
Strengthening your intrapersonal relationship
Affirming your boundaries with clarity and confidence
Reclaiming your body as your own, no matter your relationship status
Honoring the power of celibacy in commitment
You’ll also be introduced to the Creator and Facilitator of PAUSE, who will guide you through a process of rediscovery and empowerment. This workshop is an invitation to step into your fullest, most authentic self, breaking free from external pressures and embracing your true sovereignty.
Come ready to reclaim your joy, your desires, and your voice all on your terms.
