Temple of Sensuality with Jenny Janaki

Welcome to a Sacred Space for Sensual Awakening.

Beloved woman, within you lies an untapped wellspring of pleasure, power, and radiance—this is your sensuous body, your erotic self.

For too long, these essential expressions of the feminine have been exiled and shamed, hidden in the depths of our being, pulsating with a longing to be expressed and liberated.

When the wild river of the feminine isn’t flowing freely, we may feel shut down, frozen, and unable to express our true selves. We become disconnected from our life force, pleasure, and our bodies feel numb. 

But we don’t need to live like this!

This retreat is a sacred ritual of inhabiting your body as a sacred temple by moving deep into your feeling-body. In your deep body you’ll find hidden parts of yourself that long to integrate in your life, so that you can live from a more empowered and authentic self-expression.

As women we have learnt that there are only certain expressions of the feminine that are acceptable and lovable and we therefore hide other parts of ourself. This suppression of our feminine nature is what makes us feel restricted, shut down and numb in our bodies. It therefore becomes hard to feel fully alive and free to express ourself.

You might not even know who you are beyond the confines of what culture has taught you to be. During this retreat we will explore these shadow sides of the feminine, so that you can reclaim your ‘Inner Gold’ and live life as a sovereign, unapologetic woman.

We warmly invite you into our loving and nurturing temple space, where you can let your guard down and shed any masks that have been holding you back. Here, you’ll be nurtured and supported as you uncover your true, natural, and lovable self, allowing you to freely explore a truer expression of your feminine self.

We warmly invite you into a loving temple space where you can let your guard down and shed any masks that have been holding you back from being anyone but your true, natural and lovable self. Here you’re guided to- explore the true expressions of who you are as a woman.

Through sensual somatic movement and sacred rituals, you’ll be guided into deep inner awareness to awaken you sensual and pleasure-filled inherent nature.   

This retreat is for women who desire to revel in the warm animal of their body.

The red thread of the retreat is to uncover the hidden dimensions of the feminine that has made us feel alienated from our body and eros. Together, we will bring these aspects out of the shadow and recognize their pure nature as expressions of life flowing through you.

In a world where ‘survival mode’ has become the new ‘normal,’ our bodies crave a somatic experience of safety—a reassurance that it’s safe to express all parts of who we are, especially the erotic self that has been exiled for millennia. Nervous system regulation and going slow and gradual is therefore a core pillar during the retreat.

We are here to hold a sacred space where you can relax deeply into the warm embrace of the feminine and sisterhood, welcoming all insecurities and fears surrounding connection with other women.

Together, we will explore the aspects of the feminine that have been marginalised by our culture and history. By embracing our HERstory and understanding the wounds women have carried throughout time, we reclaim our wholeness as women.

Join us on this sacred journey of awakening, as we honour the radiant power and beauty of our sensuality.

WHAT THIS RETREAT EXPLORES

• Reclaiming your erotic innocence to set it free from societal conditioning.

• Regulating your nervous system so that you build capacity to be with tensions, resistance and fears as you delve into the depths of your body.

• Breaking free from the sisterhood wound and opening up to healing, heart-connected sisterhood.

THIS RETREAT IS NOT

• About sexuality in the conventional sense; we will explore our eroticism beyond the confines of modern culture.

• Suitable for those dealing with significant sexual trauma or other trauma without previous support, as the nature of this work can be triggering.
