Pre-Festival Offering
Cultivating Thresholds in Sexuality, Spirituality, and Relationship
Overview
Are you standing at the threshold of transformation? Whether you’re questioning conventional religious teachings about sexuality, considering new forms of relationship, or seeking to integrate your spiritual and erotic selves, Eden Camp offers garden tools for your journey.
Join us for a day of deep exploration at the intersection of sexuality, spirituality, and conscious relationship. Through expert guidance, embodied practice, and small group connection, discover how to navigate transitions with grace, wisdom, and authentic power.
This pre-festival gathering creates brave space for those exploring beyond conventional boundaries – whether you’re giving yourself permission to want more, communicating desires with partners, troubleshooting challenges in alternative relationship structures, or integrating these explorations into your spiritual practice and community.
Co-led by Michael Morrell and Aline Defiglia LCSW, MPH, Eden Camp will feature facilitated conversation, body-movement experiences, and group containers to help you recover your exiled places and plant the seeds for your full sensual, somatic, and spiritual harvest.
Full schedule and facilitators list coming soon!
