Taking you through a journey of healing and transformation, Julia invites you to discover more sensual pleasure and delight in your body, relationships and way of being. As a result, you'll feel more confidence, instinctual power and aliveness.
Learn the seven easily accessible spiritual pathways to pleasure - slowing down, embodying, deepening, relating, pleasure, power, and potency. Through somatic exercises, prompting questions, meditations and energetic transmissions, you will reconnect body, mind and soul in an integrated way, and reclaim an innate source of sweetness. Enjoy this opportunity to reawaken your body, realize the web of relationships within which you live, and embrace the pleasure, power, and potency that arise when you look inward as well as confidently relate outward.
