Your sexual energy is creative, abundant, vibrant and alive. It’s POWERFUL.
Nature is beaming with the vital, life force of sensuality. Flowers bloom in an expression of sexuality. We are surrounded by a vast abundance of sexual resource - from the weeds that grow along the sidewalk to the revolution of the moon around the Earth.
We are living in the legacy of oppression, colonization, and exploitation. The power of healthy, balanced sexual energy has been forcibly oppressed for generations, with the effects reaching worldwide.
Within our sex-negative culture, we’re taught to bury our sexual life force deep within us, to snuff out our fire so we don’t get burnt or burn others, and to hide away our sensual nature to keep us safe, contained and disempowered.
We’ve cut ourselves off from our desires, our passions, our authentic expression of creation. At the same time, we’re becoming busier, more technologically connected, and further removed from the natural world.
Earth Eros Embodied is an experience designed to help you connect to your body, your desires, nature, plant allies, and spiritual and ancestral resources.
Co-created by herbalist and educator, Anna Booth Cohen of Herbalist Uprising, and sex educator and Desire Catalyst, Elise Bish, Earth Eros Embodied intends to create sacred space for conscious sexual education, resourced and grounded by herbal medicine.

Earth Eros Embodied is inspired by our love for, and sacred connection with, the natural world.
It takes bravery to reclaim what has been oppressed, to step into sexual fullness, and to confront the shame that our society inflicts upon sexuality. In this vulnerable place, plant and consciousness allies step in to provide support in the process of cultivating a healthy, empowered sexual self.
Remember the part of you that knows how it feels to live in full connection with your sexual energy. Pause...and take a breath with that part now. It is waiting to be let in.
The course content will be a mixture of wise woman traditions, herbal medicine making, sexual education and skill building, embodiment practices, systemic family constellations, and time in nature to reflect, inspire, and gain insights.
Earth Eros Embodied is designed to both root you to the earth in your current environment, and provide a nourishing retreat for deeper connection and healing.

4 DAY IMMERSIVE RETREAT
The Earth Eros Embodied Summer Retreat is a 4-day immersion experience designed for women and queer folks to learn about and connect to their bodies, desires, nature, plant allies, and spiritual and ancestral resources. This embodied experience will leave you feeling more sensual, nourished, and empowered.
We hope to be able to host an in-person retreat again soon!
The Results:
Feel more alive and inspired. Connect to your creativity and inspiration. Feel the loving support of the Earth. Use herbal plant allies to support your expansion. Enjoy increased confidence and self esteem. Honor the wisdom of your soul. Nourish the divinity of your body. Know the power of your sacred erotic self.
Earth Eros Embodied is an open to women and queer folks of all sexual orientations, and relationship configurations.
We are especially interested in supporting queer, trans, gender non-conforming folks, and BIPOC. Thousands of years of systemic, institutionalized oppression have created an unbalanced hierarchical system that limits access to resources based on race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and gender identity. With an acknowledgment of this truth, scholarship opportunities are available for those who need them.
