Come delight your senses and awaken your heart’s desires in the woods with me! I am so thrilled to be offering this workshop at one of my favorite places on the planet.

We will experience a variety of tantra-inspired exercises (including solo, partnered, and group practices) that will help you move forward in life feeling more connected to yourself and those around you. You will leave this workshop with new embodiment tools, intimacy tools, and a deepened sense of self awareness. There will be snack and stretch breaks, so make sure to bring whatever you need to take care of yourself, and wear something comfy you can move in.

All sexual orientations and genders welcome; come single or with a partner. If you would like to join and are limited by financial circumstances, please reach out. If staying overnight for an additional $40 (dinner included) is inaccessible, feel free to just make a donation if you choose to stay for dinner. Contact me or the Hostel in the Forest to sign up!

SELF INTIMACY WORKSHOP led by Christi Hester & Mac Alexander

SELF INTIMACY WORKSHOP led by Christi Hester & Mac Alexander

Whether you’re feeling the weight of chronic stress or grief, overwhelmed by the demands of life or the current state of the world, feeling numb or disconnected from your emotions or sexuality - or just want to gain more self-regulation tools for your tool belt - this workshop is for you!

As intimacy coaches, Mac and Christi share a focus of bringing people back to the wisdom of their bodies. The success of any relationship in our lives relies on our connection to ourselves - to our path, our intuition, an awareness of our own thoughts and emotions, a curiosity and compassion towards where they may come from.

Join us for a very special evening on February 22nd where we will share many self connection tools that you can use in your daily life, including breathwork, nervous system awareness, body scanning, movement, self-touch, and more!

Our desire for this time together will be to instill you all with new tools and a deep sense of attunement to yourself.

Register now at the link in bio. $50 for tickets. Limited number of participants so snag your spot!

Ecstatic Dance Savannah

Ecstatic Dance is a freeform movement journey, intended to be held in a safe and sacred container, & facilitated by a professional DJ set. It’s a place where we can be our unique selves, and also connected to a common source. Ecstatic Dance combines the Freedom of a DJ'd Festival Experience with the Awareness of a Conscious Dance Practice.
Most sets will include a variety of musical genres, sonic wave of all tempos, and a full spectrum of emotions. At some dances you will find the vibe to be more organic and tribal, and at others more electronic, futuristic, or urban. No set is ever the same!

In dedication to creating a safe container for your experience we invite you to follow three main guidelines: no shoes (orthopedic shoes or walking aids are ok (and wear comfy clothes!), no booze (or any other drugs), no talking (body language only!). All freedom of expression is welcomed, and there is no ‘right and wrong’ here. Trust in the journey and move through everything that arises.

Dance includes:
- A guided warm-up activity
- A 1.5 hour Ecstatic Dance
- A wind-down period (such as Sound Healing or Meditation)
- A Closing Circle

We encourage you to be there on time for warm up circle especially if you have not been to ecstatic dance before. You are welcome to participate and dance and you are also welcome to take time to rest when you need to.

The Ecstatic Dance community welcomes people of all ages/genders/religions/ethnicities. This is a cross-generational community. We are a non-denominational community, where we come together for the joy of moving and dancing together. Whatever your reason for wanting to move, you are welcome at Ecstatic Dance.

Dress to sweat! We recommend you wear clothes that allow your full range of motion. Always bring a water bottle, and make sure to stay hydrated through the dance! Water is provided for free, as well as a few snacks. Most importantly: bring an open mind, a curious spirit, and a body ready to dance!

Suggested Love Donation: $15
Venmo @christi-hester or cash at the event.

Doors open at 5pm, opening circle starts at 5:30.

Sensual Embodiment: An Intro to Tantra

Sensual Embodiment: An Intro to Tantra

We live in a culture that is rampant with superficial connection, technology, business, hookup dating apps, and small talk. These things often distract us from the sacredness of life itself; of surrendering to the beauty and perfection of each moment and what it has to offer us, internally and externally. From the time we are born into this culture, the cultural values begin to seep into our very being. Tantra is the process of recognizing the conditioning we have undergone, and restoring our nature to its natural, connected state.

You are invited to come explore the pathway to a deeper connection with yourself and everything around you. In "Sensual Embodiment: An Intro to Tantra", lead by Christi Hester and Pranay Ranjan, you will be guided into a world of expanded experiencing. You will be encouraged and supported on a magical journey, uniquely your own, throughout the evening.

Included in this event will be: embodiment practices, guided meditation, and communication exercises. A group experience has the potential to be very profound in the healing and growth it can create. Our hope is that you will leave revitalized and enriched, and will carry with you a deep sense of connectedness with yourself and others. Whether you are brand new to Tantra or have been practicing for years, this workshop will have something for everyone.

All genders and sexual orientations welcome. (*Myth Buster ~ Tantra is not just for straight folks!*) Come with a partner or single. ALL will have a place here.

$25-40 sliding scale. This workshop is limited to 12 participants. Please RSVP by emailing soulfedbodywork@gmail.com.
