Our Philosophy
Peter, Lauren, Russell and Monique have been playing in the infinite realms of energy their entire lives, (probably for many lifetimes 😉 ).
We hold a space where your feelings are 100% welcomed, because on the other side of all of your emotions is the bliss of your being where you can ride waves of energetic currents and possibilities. By FEELING all of your emotions, you are able to fully allow life-force energy to flow through your entire body and expand your capacity for greater pleasure.
We will be deeply exploring our own sensual energy. All activities and exercises will be guided and are optional. You can participate solo, with a partner and/or in small groups. We invite you to participate in whatever manner supports you best.
Sensual energy is a profound whole-body healer and can bring forth delicious feelings of bliss and ecstasy from endorphin release.
Come share YOU and allow the community to help amplify your truth!

"I always get exactly what I didn't know I needed."
“They bring love to everything they do, and they create a space for self-exploration that feels warm and safe and inspiring. They have a knack for attracting the BEST people and I've found a really loving community through my work with them. That trust and unconditional love has helped me open my heart up wide in so many ways and I am truly grateful to them for that.”

She specializes in helping others reclaim their power and natural sensuality by transmuting fear and repression into courage, self-love and freedom. Her primary purpose is helping folks bring out their vulnerability, energetic embodiment and fearless relating.
Peter Petersen has been teaching for over 20 years and has been a certified Sheng Zhen Qigong teacher for the last 18 years, where he has been teaching in health clubs, hospitals, retirement villas, and several different wellness/spa resorts in Mexico and the United States, such as Rancho La Puerta, Mayacamas Ranch, and Present Moment Retreat.
Peter has traveled with Monique for over the last 3 years teaching Tantra all over North America, the EU, Asia, and Australia. Peter is also a personal wellness coach. This Qigong practice helps people ground themselves into their “now” to increase their present moment awareness of their behaviors, and find solutions to problematic habits such as: eating, moving, negative thinking, and sleeping. The result of this tool box of healthy information is that clients become their own health advocate and regain a sense of stability, peace, and well-being into their everyday lives.
