A woman’s connection to her sensuality and pleasure is a reclamation of her power.
Her sensuality is the felt sense of her aliveness, experienced within the body.
The pursuit of pleasure is not about hedonism or simply feeling “good.”
It is about being in the truth and reality of our sensory experience.
Your desire, imagination, and pleasure matter.
The time to emerge is now.
Like a mushroom emerging from the earth, we are reminded our history does not need to be wasted. We can process this history to create something new and useful.
Patriarchal systems have long shamed, ignored or dominated women’s sensuality and pleasure. Our bodies have been objectified, sexualized and traumatized.
We have been trained to comply, self-abandon and accommodate others needs at our own expense.
Our experience of the erotic has been been distorted and co opted.
There is another way.
The call for women to reclaim their pleasure and power is loud and invites new possibilities. When we nurture our embodied pleasure and sensuality, we expand what is possible not just for our ourselves but for the world.
Embodied pleasure and sensuality are about living with a deep sense of trust in yourself. When we expand our emotional capacity for joy and pleasure, we expand our capacity to make meaningful change in our lives, our communities and our world.
We cannot simply talk about what needs to change. The transformation needs to be grounded in the body and held with the support of the collective.

Your Guide
My name is Natalie Benway-Correll
I believe a life well lived is possible when we connect with the truth of our bodies, the power of our voice and the belonging we experience when we recognize we don’t have to do it alone.
As a survivor of sexual trauma, I have spent a good part of my life feeling disconnected from myself. In my healing process, I slowly began to come home to the inherent wisdom and safety of my body. I learned to accept and respond skillfully to sensation which made pleasure and feeling good accessible to me.
The more I validated my own felt experience in a safe container, the more I opened to the DE LICIOUS complexities of embodied pleasure!
Your body is a miracle, and it is our divine birthright to feel pleasure.
When we are connected to our sensuality, we are connected to life.
What a gift!

Program Details
Inspired by the work of Sonya Reneee Taylor’s book My Body is not an Apology, EMERGE will explore 3 essential processes for cultivating Embodied Sensuality and Pleasure. We cannot simply talk about what needs to change.
The transformation needs to be grounded in the body and held within the support of the collective.
This 3-step process addresses our: Thinking | Doing | Being

Thinking
We will explore the impact of oppressive systems on our relationship with our bodies, our thought patterns and ultimately the truth of our experience.
With awareness of our thinking, comes the possibility for change.
We will liberate ourselves from toxic, shame-based narratives about our sensuality and pleasure. We will claim new ways of thinking that embrace the truth of our worth and the gift of our pleasure.

You will learn trauma informed techniques and practices to regulate your nervous system.
You will be invited to explore the wisdom and complexity of sensation in your body.

Being
After uncovering the path to REclaim your embodied pleasure and sensuality, we have the courage to BE our authentic selves. There is a return to your natural essence and in your BEING you inspire others to do the same.
From this inner connection we move into a state of being that is transcendent. We move beyond the stories of the mind and see our connection to everything.
