What’s included in your retreat?
Planning
A 30-45 minute planning call with Monica to discuss your vision, interests and intentions so we can co-create the perfect retreat itinerary for you.
Retreat Days
One or two full days with Monica (consisting of 2x 3-4hour blocks with a lunch break in between).
During this time, Monica will guide you on a rich and exciting journey of learning, embodiment and sacred sexuality practices. You’ll have plenty of time to ask questions, receive feedback on your skill-building, and make sure you have all the tools you need to integrate your new practices,
Integration Call
About a week after your retreat, you’ll have another zoom session with Monica to share how your integration has been going, discuss anything that may have come up, and allow time for any further clarification.
Optional add-ons

Date Night at Oasis Aqualounge
Have you been curious to attend a sex club, but felt too nervous or shy? Sometimes it’s a little easier with a confident guide.
Ask me to accompany you, show you around, and help you get settled in. I’ll stay for a (non-alcoholic) drink, chat and hang out with you. Use this time to talk about anything, ask questions, and get comfortable in the space. After about an hour, I’ll head out so you can go enjoy the rest of your evening with one another (or any new friends you may meet)!
* Please note I will not be engaging in any sexual play. I am only there as your guide.

What to expect
Experiential Learning
This is a learning space like no other. Rather than talking about concepts and practices, you get to experience them first hand. That might look like doing live, guided meditations and breathwork, receiving hands-on bodywork, or practicing sensual skills with your partner.
Private, sensual oasis
In this private, lower level studio you’ll find a cozy escape from the busyness of the city. Expect a warm, candlelit vibe, complete with fur blankets, essential oils, herbal teas, and dark chocolate. For bodywork, you’ll be nestled in silky sheets, and hot towels after your massage.
Professional, expert guidance
I have been working as a certified Somatic Sex Educator/Sexological Bodyworker for nearly a decade. I bring a vast background of knowledge from Tantra, kink, breathwork, and existential integrative psychotherapy into my practice. Having worked with thousands of clients at this point, I bring a confident and intuitive approach into each of my sessions.
Clothing Optional Space
My studio is a clothing-optional space for clients, where you are welcome to embody your erotic energy. Your comfort level is the most important thing, so you get to decide how you want to show up and how deep you want to go into each practice. There is ongoing dialogue and consent.
(I, as the facilitator, stay fully clothed and do not involve my own erotic energy).
How it works
Step One: Book a Discovery Call
Begin by booking a Discovery Call with Monica to see if we're a good fit. This call is completely free, and provides an opportunity to get to know one another and see if the vibe feels right.
Please show up on this call together as a couple so I can meet you both. (While I think the idea of surprises is really sweet, I do require both of you to be part of the planning process).
Step two: Planning Call
On this 30-45 minute call, you'll tell me all about what would make the perfect retreat for you, and what kinds of practices you're keen to dive into. I'll make some notes and offer suggestions on the call, and together we'll come up with an itinerary for our time together.
Afterwards, you’ll receive a personalized PDF itinerary, similar to the ones above.
This will be our plan for the retreat days, however if we need to shift gears in the moment, we will still have that flexibility.
Step Three: Your Retreat Day(s)
You'll arrive at my studio, located on the completely private lower level of the Inner Arts Collective. Fresh herbal tea and snacks will be ready and waiting for you.
We'll begin with a check in, and then proceed to the delectable activities we have planned for the day. I allot my entire day toward the retreat, so our sessions can run loosely between 3-4 hours, depending on what we're doing.
We'll break for 2 hours between sessions, during which time you can grab a bite at any of the excellent restaurants that are walking distance on the Danforth.
When we reconvene for our second session, we'll start with another check-in, then dive into the material for session two.
I'll make sure to leave some time for Q&A before we wrap up for the day. There will also be time at the end of the day to share reflections, breakthroughs and challenges.
When you leave, I’ll give you some recommended practices for integration.
Step Four: Integration Call
About a week after your retreat, we'll schedule a brief follow up call to see how you are doing with your new practices and address any questions that might have come up during your time at home.
If you are travelling from outside of Toronto:
Please note that you will be responsible for securing your own travel, accommodations, and dining. This is not included in the retreat package.
Who is this for?
These retreats are for couples of any gender or orientation who:
have a solid relationship to begin with and wish to learn more
experience challenges in communication and expressing needs and desires
want to incorporate more intentionality and mindfulness into their lovemaking

you can not address your hurts and triggers with compassionate language toward one another (ie. you erupt into yelling and blaming at every moment)
