Pleasure Transformation: A Healing Circle

  • Rootstock Retreat 1429 Beach Hill Road West Glover United States (map)

The practice of self-pleasure is life-changing. Dive deep into your connection to your higher self through meditation, breathwork, and exploring your pleasure.

Learn powerful ways to alchemize your emotions and pain into a better you. Releasing stuck energy creates more room for blissful pleasure in your body. In January, February, and March, join Emily Hershberger for a monthly Pleasure Circle. Attend all three to help you develop your practice or come to one to get a taste of the work. This circle works for couples or single folks, people of all gender identities, and is held in a container of gentleness, safety and consent. Take a step towards a more blissful life by joining the Pleasure Circle at Rootstock

“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

Feel free to sign up for one circle to see if it supports you, to join a couple or sign up for all three to take a deep dive into your pleasure practice and connection to your essential energy.

Limited to 8 people.


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.
