A Celebration of Sensuality, Play, and Erotic Awakening

May 4th, 2025 | 8am - 7pm | Flagstaff, AZ

Welcome to Beltane.

Beltane marks the midpoint between the Vernal Equinox and the Summer Solstice, a time when nature bursts forth in vibrant life, fertility, and sensuality. This nature-based Celtic holiday celebrates fertility and the cycle of life as it is reborn in the Spring, and invites us to embrace our wild essence, reconnect deeply to our bodies, and celebrate the pleasures of being fully alive.

Join us for Beltane: Pleasure Liberation, a day-long immersive experience designed to reconnect you with your innate pleasure, sensuality, and playfully erotic self.

All images on this page are photographs by boudoir photographer Taylor Miller.
Schedule your boudoir mini session here and take $25 off your registration for the Beltane day treat (only 4 boudoir mini session spots available).

This is your Day-Long Journey into Pleasure.

This retreat is for you, who yearns to reclaim your sensuality and joy from beneath the layers of conditioning that have kept pleasure small and shameful.

This retreat is for you, who is ready to move into deep embodiment, who longs to see and be seen in your fullest, wildest, and most honest self.

This retreat is for you, who wants to feel the Earth beneath your feet, the fire of your own eros in your belly, and the freedom of uninhibited expression through your body.

This is a space of liberation, remembrance, and radiant self-love—powered by embodied and nature-based practices, joyful celebration, and an (optional) breathtaking portrait of your pleasure-liberated self to take home.

PLUS: This retreat serves as the beautiful opening experience for our transformative online course, Primal Pleasure, guiding you even deeper into sensuality, pleasure, desire, grief work, and erotic embodiment.

Are you ready to reclaim your pleasure and unleash your wild, sensual self?

Join us this Beltane. Your liberation awaits.

Liberate Your Pleasure.

Awaken Your Eros.

Settle into Your Sensuality.

  • Our movement journey will begin with a feminine-form yoga flow—fluid, heart-opening, and grounded in the pelvis, the seat of feminine energy. From there, we’ll loosen structure and surrender into tantric dance, pleasure-based movement, and erotic embodiment—letting our hips, life force, and sensuality lead. This culminates in a wild, free-form trance dance, allowing your body to move in full, uncensored expression. This movement sequence will train your soma to sync with the rhythm of your erotic energy and create the conditions for a consciousness-altering, transformative experience in nature that follows.

  • You’ll be guided into the practice of wayfaring—a solo, nature-based journey of wild self-discovery. Nature becomes your sacred mirror, the ultimate container of non-judgment, holding space for your most authentic, sensual self to emerge. You’ll receive various invitations for your wander, including practices like embodying the art of receiving, exploring pleasure through the five senses, and moving through the landscape as your wild and erotic self. These experiences help awaken the wild mind, body, and soul—bringing your eros and pleasure to the surface with the Earth as your guide.

  • We'll work with the protective parts of ourselves—like the inner critic or the "good girl"—that have been shaped by patriarchal conditioning to keep us small and disconnected from our full erotic power. These parts often restrict our ability to fully receive and embody pleasure. Through gentle identification, soothing, and grief ritual, we’ll honor and begin to release the ways we’ve been taught to shut down our bodies and sensuality. This is how we begin to truly liberate pleasure: by grieving what was once denied and reclaiming what is innately ours.

  • We’ll open our hearts with ceremonial cacao—a sacred plant medicine known for invoking love, gratitude, openness, and emotional warmth. Cacao originates from the Indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica, including the Maya, Olmec, and Aztec civilizations, who cultivated and honored this powerful plant as a ceremonial medicine for time immemorial. We acknowledge and honor their ancestral knowledge, land stewardship, and spiritual traditions that made this practice possible.

    This heart-opening ritual begins with a self-love practice to cultivate inward acceptance, appreciation and playfulness, followed by a guided solo or partnered Tantric 5 Senses Pleasure Journey. You’ll be invited to experience sound, taste, smell, touch, and sight in deeply intentional, non-sexual, and pleasure-filled ways. There will also be optional opportunities for consent-based, co-regulatory touch with others—such as eye-gazing or embracing—to deepen connection and presence. This journey awakens your sensual aliveness and prepares your heart and body to receive more pleasure with ease.

  • Conclude the day in joyful, liberated celebration around the fire. As golden hour sets in, we’ll kick off a playful dance party featuring a costume box to get fabulously decked out, group photos and more to commemorate your glowing, pleasure-liberated self. We’ll also honor traditional Beltane festivities through flower crown making, a maypole (yes, there will be ribbons!), and—if fire conditions allow—a bonfire. This is a time to laugh, play, shake it all off, and connect with others in pure, unfettered joy.

  • Take your Beltane experience one step deeper with an optional outdoor boudoir mini session—an invitation to see yourself as you are: wild, grounded, radiant, and fully alive.

    These intimate 30-minute sessions are guided with care by Taylor Miller, a professional photographer and artist who specializes in natural light, real expression, and storytelling that honors your body and your essence. This isn’t about performing or posing for anyone else—it’s about creating a visual memory of the version of you that feels the most free, powerful, and at home in her skin.

    Your images are delivered in a password-protected online gallery, and your privacy and boundaries are always respected. You choose what’s shared, if anything, and what remains sacred for you.

    Sessions are held at during the day treat in a private location just off the main retreat space. Each session is $250 and includes a collection of edited images that reflect your sensuality and your sovereignty. When you book a shoot, you'll receive $25 off your Beltane Day Treat registration.
