Practicing Pleasure

Often we seek pleasure outside of ourselves; through others, substances, and experiences of all kinds. Throughout this workshop, you will practice experiencing pleasure through the joy of connecting with yourself, your body, and all it has to offer you. We will use movement, gentle stretching, increased heart rate, stillness, and self reflection to understand the pleasure that is YOU and the body you're in. "There is no "supposed to be" in bodies. The question is not size of shape or years of age, or even having two of everything, for some do not. But the wild issue is, does this body feel, does it have right connection to pleasure, to heart, to soul, to the wild? Does it have happiness, joy? Can it in its own way move, dance, jiggle, sway, thrust? Nothing else matters." - Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Women Who Run With the Wolves
