4-Month Immersion
Into New World Women’s Culture
The Verdant Collective is a radical – and radically safe – place to remember (and failing that, to invent) what your free, embodied, deeply nourished, and sovereign female looks, sounds and feels like. It is a place to grieve and to celebrate, to replenish and to grow.
We are a group of women who refuses to accept the definitions and expectations our culture has placed on us – for how our sex, our authentic emotional expression and our wildness should look, sound and feel. At this particularly dark human time we believe our wild nature is a radical force for healing. Thus we prioritize its wellness in ourselves and our sisters.
“There was a time when you were not a slave, remember that. You walked alone, full of laughter, you bathed bare-bellied. You say you have lost all recollection of it, remember . . . You say there are no words to describe this time, you say it does not exist. But remember. Make an effort to remember. Or, failing that, invent.”
– Monique Wittig, Les Guérillères

4-Month Immersion
Dates TBD
Due to the circumstances of COVID-19 we have not yet scheduled our upcoming 4-Month Immersion.
This Immersion is For YOU if:
You are a therapist, guide, teacher, mother, partner and/or you are in the role of guiding or mentoring women and healing women’s culture, and you are seeking an essential missing piece of your own knowing and voice.
You are hungry to heal your relationship with women and the feminine. You are ready to feel cared for, safe (enough) with, and witnessed by other women, while receiving and offering compassionate and fierce reflection.
You are ready to acknowledge that intelligent women’s community requires that we take responsibility for our own experience, and that we respect each other, even in those moments we don’t necessarily like each other.
You have done the necessary work to know your shadow, your wounding, and your trauma, and you have a resilient foundational sovereignty and self regard/love. You are familiar with the places where you are most vulnerable and you can communicate and take responsibility for your needs.
You feel there is exploration and fortification to be made when it comes to your sexual health and erotic intelligence, which you imagine might hold the key to a more holistic experience of well-being, power and presence in the world.
You have already explored the nature of your erotic self, and are comfortable talking about your sex, your body, and your pleasure. You have a sexual practice of some kind, meaning you are currently working with and tending to your arousal and eros in some way(s) and hunger to further explore the depth and breadth of your erotic sovereignty in the shame-free landscape of sisterhood.
What you can expect:
The 4-Month Verdant Collective Immersion gathers in person once per month for four days at a time. We stay in intimate contact with each other throughout the four months, from wherever we call home.
We practice the erotic arts, including hands-on genital touch, communal self-pleasuring, and tending to one another’s arousal, pleasure, and orgasm.
You’ll receive plenty of support and care from our trauma-trained staff and seasoned apprentices, with an abundant staff to participant ratio of 1:3.
You’ll have the opportunity to deepen during the weekend immersions and in-between them: each woman will be assigned to a pod (a group of 3 to 4 women held by a staff member) and also a ‘verdant sister partner’ with whom you will develop a deeper relationship of accountability, care, witnessing and tracking.
You’ll participate in monthly 2-Hour Community Calls that build on the concepts, skills, and wellness we are weaving together and monthly pod calls which will help you refine and integrate the practices and processes you are weaving during the 4-day immersions.
This Immersion Will Offer You:
From-the-ground-up practical and magickal facts about female anatomy and arousal; the information we never got and the truth about the erroneous and damaging information we did get
The crucial connections between arousal, pleasure, anatomy, attachment, trauma, neurobiology, and the practices to weave them together and utilize them for your wellness
The opportunity to expand your erotic map, finding new ways to experience pleasure
Practices that allow us to reverently harness and extend our arousal to access realms of wisdom and wellness, nourishing our deep connection with the wild world of Mystery and Spirit
Reflection and feedback within the traditional council format that will allow you to further develop and understand your mythopoetic soul story
The opportunity to learn how to use your arousal and the neurobiology of your pleasure to attend to the deepest layers of your trauma
An experiential deep dive into the function, elements and practice of both ritual and ceremony
The opportunity to find the wise, humorous, irreverent and reverent one of you as we sit in several different council-style circles over the course of our intimate four month journey
The chance to unravel one of the most erroneous and harmful messages (most of us) received about how our sexuality and erotic intelligence are things that should be private, sequestered, shared with only one other person; that they look a certain way (that coincidentally happens to be domesticated and mono-cropped; a thing that is anything but threatening). Here women, we are not advocates of ‘free love’ or public orgies or anything of the sort. We are advocates of fundamental liberation that allows us to know exactly who we are, why we are here and to whom we answer
The opportunity to form relationships with women that are predicated on truth, respect, compassion and ferocious advocacy
