Some people dread the idea of spending Valentine’s Day alone. Others barely register it, treating it like any other day. And in both cases, something extraordinary too often gets missed: the chance to celebrate the most intimate, evocative, and transformative love story of your lifetime - the one you’re already a part of.
This workshop reframes the idea that romance has to be awarded by another person to exist. Your own divinely powerful love is already at your fingertips - and what a relief it is to discover that nobody else can truly control what you can experience!
However, it’s hard to preach the abstract notion of “self-love” to someone experiencing the ache of loneliness. Telling folks to “just love themselves” while they’re craving connection is like explaining to someone who’s starving that they don’t need food…
At this event, we’re not going to pretend that yearning for someone is something to transcend or “heal”. We are wired to crave this. Periodt. Human connection is a universal need and (likely the best) part of being alive - not a personal failing. And when that desire is boldly embraced instead of blocked, creativity and aliveness are amplified within yourself and the world around you.
And though we are cultivating love within ourselves, we do awaken, thrive, and expand in the presence of others. That’s why we’re doing this together. In community, we’ll be turning toward ourselves while being inspired by one another—evoking romance in our own bodies and noticing how that fruitful Eros energy ripples and grows..
🥰 Master Self-Pleasure
Never forget that YOU are the person most uniquely qualified to understand your own needs and absolutely blow your own mind. Think: best-ple@sure-of-your-life (so far) vibes consistently. No performance. Just you, deeply attuned to yourself, remembering what you’re capable of feeling. We’ll experiment with mirrors and blindfolds to deepen our experience.
💘 Born to Love
Embrace your inner “love fool” - don’t shy away, don’t cringe! Through guided meditation, writing exercises, and sharing stories, reclaim the erotic energy that your shame was weighing down. It’s time to truly admire your capacity for profound love! Welcome & amplify all the romance you already receive. You’ll notice a very palpable shift in your magnetism and what you attract to yourself at this frequency.

After the workshop, the lights go down, the music goes up, and the setting transforms into a playful social environment - an Afterparty. Engage at your own comfort level - whether that means dancing, observing, casually chatting by the snacks, or actively interacting with others from the Workshop.
There will be a few opt-in activity stations for you to experience, including:
YOU CAN CHOOSE TO BRING YOUR OWN:
This optional "homework" is worth it! To get the most out of this workshop, feel free to read this short essay in advance ("The Uses of the Erotic" by Audre Lorde). It will provide context for the exercises we do (and will be a fun way to discuss topics and start connecting in the event chat!) [https://bit.ly/3NDxvK5]
