When we playfully explore our pleasure and practice how to love ourselves completely, we learn the tools to break through our self-limiting barriers. Through fully embracing pleasure, we can create the lives we desire through sex magic.
When pleasure comes first, you can transform your life. Come away from this course able to develop your self-pleasure practice. Pleasure Activations meets you wherever you are on your sexy journey. Are you coupled yet feel disconnected? Are you single and desire something real? Is your sex life fantastic, and you’re ready to take it to the next level? This gathering is for you.
“I’ve come out of the last year feeling more alive and present because of my pleasure practice, and I managed a grocery store through the pandemic! This vibrant practice allows space for all of me to thrive. Connecting to the orgasmic life force all around us is regenerative even when working with struggle and darkness. Putting pleasure first is a radical act of rebellion in our modern times by living an unapologetically radiant and connected life.” - Emily Hershberger
We will spend the day exploring our pleasure and shadows through breath, movement, sound, visualization, and meditation. Learn the tools to be fully present for the light and dark parts of yourself. Surrounded by the sumptuous beauty of Rootstock Retreat, Pleasure Activation will be held in a container of consent and respect. People will remain clothed for the workshop. Limited to 15 people.

The Setting
West Glover, Vermont was chartered in 1783, though the Nulhegan Tribe, The Memphremagog Band, and the Northern Cowasuk Indians have lived here - N'DAKINNA (Our Land) - from time beyond memory.
Rootstock Retreat is an elemental healing sanctuary, community-supported bathhouse in the making and small creative refuge designed for healing, conscious connection and joy. The hill has a divinly feminine energy, undulating hills and secret nooks and is a delight to all the senses. This sacred space is a potent container to dive into a sensory exploration of pleasure and to allow the vibrations of Gaia herself to support us in opening to our own creative life force.
Rootstock’s wood-fired spa and garden tubs will be activated following this gathering in a Community Spa Night and you can reserve your space in that when you register for this gathering.
Registered participants will receive a confirmation email with a link for payment and details on how to prepare for the gathering.
About Your Guide
Emily Hershberger has been a part of Rootstock since it was a sparkle of an idea in Beana’s mind. Leadership and teaching have been a part of Emily’s professional world for many years. Before being a business owner, director of human resources, and general manager, she was a certified yoga instructor, a professional masseuse, and studied Reiki. Rootstock’s Moon Circle and medicine retreats have been an instrumental part of her growth. In this course, she shares what has helped her connect to her soul’s purpose – her self-pleasure practice. Her desire is to create a community of pleasure alchemy that grows together. Pleasure Activation is the first step in that process.
Investment in Your Potential
Tapping into your Source energy and learning how to activate and flow with your essential energy is priceless. This work has the potential for deep healing, opening and transformation. This full day course with a sumptuous, organic lunch provided costs $195 - $395/person on a sliding scale and we ask that you pay what you can afford.
Stay the night, book a hot tub, sink into sacred space…
