Course Descriptions

This weekend retreat is for women of every age and lifestyle who want to taste the full energetic potential of their erotic body. In an atmosphere of consensuality and confidentiality, women will have the opportunity to experience themselves as sacred sexual beings.

Erotic exploration is often fraught with barriers of shame, tension and anxiety, all of which will be respected as each woman's individual space is honoured. In celebration together we will support each other to let go of the old ways of living in our body. Through exercises from the tantric and taoist traditions, we will experience the flow of sexual energy through the pathways of the body.

Sexual energy flowing through the body allows for a more fulfilling erotic life whether we are in relationship or not. The purpose of arousing this energy is to strengthen our 'chi' -- life energy for healing purposes, erotic autonomy, and plain fun!

Testimonials: 'I have promised myself the gift of a course with Elfi for a long time. Stirring the Cauldron this past weekend has been just that-a true gift! And I am continuing to reap the delicious benefits! I notice that I am wanting to pour out words in an attempt to match my rich experience and share it with others. And yet my experience was also gentle, and centering, and so very nurturing. How to honour both of these? Perhaps just to say that I wish each woman the gift of a gentle, yet stimulating, settling and awakening time in the wonderful presence of other women, made so safe and sacred by our wise guide. With all my heart I thank you Elfi for this weekend. I feel privileged to have journeyed with you in this special way.' --Cathy McNally, December 2005 'This course has helped me enjoy my body more, let go of old shame-based thoughts and expand my sensual awareness. I would recommend this course to any woman who is feeling shut down from her own sexuality, especially older women (I am 63) and who is feeling perplexed by differing male and female responses and expectations. This weekend made a significant shift for me in my feeling about my own sexuality and has given me some tools to keep moving towards becoming my own beloved while fully embracing my partner too. Thank you from my fullest heart.' --S.R., January 2006
