PORTALS:

a Back to the Body™ Sensual Weekend Experience for Women

Friday January 9th 6 - 10 pm

Saturday January 10th 10 am - 6 pm

Sunday January 11th 10 am - 6pm

There comes a moment when you feel the whisper inside — the quiet call to return home to yourself. Portals is that homecoming.

This is a long-weekend retreat for women who crave restoration, connection, and a deep remembering of the body’s wisdom. It’s an invitation to slow down, soften, and touch what’s been waiting beneath the surface.

At Back to the Body™, we believe transformation begins in the body.

Through guided somatic practice, tender witnessing, and moments of real rest, women rediscover not just their desire — but their vitality, joy, sexuality, libido, and aliveness.

What You’ll Experience

  • A shift from hopeless → hopeful → alive, as you reconnect to your innate sensual intelligence.

  • A living reminder that while the biological clock is finite, the erotic clock is infinite.

  • A deeper embodiment of wellness and longevity as the new language of true wealth — one that cannot exist without a connection to our sensual body.

  • Connection with a circle of women walking beside you — each one a mirror, each one a portal.

The Container

A gentle, immersive weekend:

  • Arrive Friday evening, depart Sunday afternoon.

  • Somatic movement, embodiment rituals, and guided practices to awaken pleasure and presence.

  • Spacious time for stillness, journaling, and connection.

  • Nourishing meals, laughter, and moments that remind you what it feels like to be fully alive.

This is not a luxury escape — it’s a sacred return.

Why Now

We live in a world that measures worth by productivity and youth. But the real currency of modern life is wellness, vitality, and joy.

To claim your erotic energy — your creative, life-force current — is to claim your longevity.

That’s what we mean when we say: the biological clock is finite, but the erotic clock is infinite.

Come join us this January for a weekend designed to restore your hope, rekindle your desire, and remind you that your aliveness has no expiration date.

This non-residential gathering allows women to ask questions and explore what Back to the Body™ offers in a safe container and sensual weekend.

  • Witness live demonstrations on arousal, desire, and full body expansion, using the Back to the Body Method™!

  • Let yourself be seen in the Art of Adoration and feel cherished in a whole new way!

  • Delight in delicious, wholesome, decadent food -- a sensous experience in itself and an opportunity to practice receiving beauty not just through touch but through what we allow ourselves to enjoy!

  • Experience the Lotus Lift Meditation©, as featured in O, The Oprah Magazine (twice!) unlocking & releasing barriers that keep you from claiming your deepest pleasure & joy

  • Enjoy workshops on reclaiming desire & sensual equity, the erotic as a portal to longevity & vitality, experience the power of receiving, sensory awakening through embodied practices & discussions, and so much more!

  • Explore the sensual layers of yourself, peeling back years of shoulds and musts revealing what your body truly craves.

Snacks and lunch will be provided each day by an extraordinary chef.

This weekend is one of our most popular events and is limited to just 20 women. We’ve also added a special VIP Onsite Option for those who want to fully immerse themselves in the experience or you can choose your own accommodations that fit you best with a non-residential ticket.
