A Retreat for Pleasure, Play, and Erotic Joy
15+ Hours of High-Level Insight
Led by Dr. Ashley Sweet and Dr. Danielle Armour, this isn’t your average retreat. It’s a sophisticated blend of expert-led education, body-centered insights, and the power of your own intuition. We’re stripping away the dry-talk to explore the intersection of science and the soul of female pleasure. Think of this as a guided deep-dive into your own vitality. You’ll gain evidence-based perspectives on intimacy and sexuality that are as enlightening as they are life-changing. But we go beyond the "why"—we help you tune back into the "how," teaching you to listen to your body’s intuitive language.
We bring the expertise and the humor; you bring the presence. You’ll leave informed, invigorated, and better aligned with your own sense of pleasure.
The Power of a High-Vibe Circle
There is a specific magic that happens when a group of women get real with one another. Skip the small talk and dive into meaningful connection. This is about being seen and supported by peers who understand the unique challenge of balancing a high-stress modern life with a high-pleasure lifestyle.*
A Zero-Judgment Sanctuary
We have curated a space that is as impeccably safe as it is restorative. Here, your only responsibility is your own presence. We tend to every detail—from the thoughtfully paced itinerary to a customized menu tailored to your exact dietary needs—so you can finally exhale. Our mission is to hold you with the care and attention you deserve, allowing you to move from "managing" to being. Whether you’re here to rediscover a spark that’s gone quiet or you’re ready to turn the volume up on your existing pleasure, you can do it here with total freedom* and absolute confidentiality.*
(*As long as that freedom stays within the boundaries of our group agreements and disclaimers. For more about group norms see our FAQs.)
Move. Play. Feel.
Get out of your head and back into your skin. In our daily lives, we often live from the neck up—managing, planning, and over-thinking. We utilize Somatic practices—a term derived from the Greek word soma, meaning "living body"—to help you bridge that gap. Rather than just thinking about your pleasure, somatic work focuses on your internal physical perception and experience. It is the art of listening to the wisdom your body holds. Through curated movement, intuitive dance, and playful games, we help you shake the stress out of your bones and reconnect with your physical self. It’s gentle, it’s fun, and it’s designed to help you remember how good it feels to simply be in your body.
The "Sex Camp" Spirit: Play with Purpose
Our participants from last summer affectionately dubbed this experience "Sex Camp," and for good reason. It’s a space where we trade the "professional veneer" for a spirit of play and discovery. We recognize that reconnecting with your erotic self can sometimes feel heavy; we don't shy away from that depth. Instead, we show you how to move that energy through your body, transmuting the weight into awareness and joy.
This isn't just about the "high" of the retreat; it’s about sustainable vitality. You will leave with a somatic toolkit designed to help you navigate the heavy moments outside of our sanctuary, ensuring you can return to your center long after you’ve gone home. Expect a weekend that is bright, liberated, and entirely hands-off—there is no touch involved. We maintain the professional container so you can focus on the profound, playful work of coming back to life.
Radical Hospitality & Gourmet Indulgence
Let’s be honest: one of the best parts of "Sex Camp" is the luxury of being completely taken care of. We believe that a satisfied palate is a prerequisite for a satisfied soul. Our on-site gourmet chef keeps the kitchen humming with incredible, vibrant meals that our participants are still raving about—designed to fuel your energy and delight your senses. Between the decadent spreads and our dedicated House Mom—who is there to ensure your every need is met before you even have to ask—this is the ultimate "un-adulting" experience. You aren't just here to learn; you’re here to be nourished, held, and deeply fed. Whether it’s a perfectly timed snack or a customized menu that honors your body, we handle the logistics so you can focus on the pure, delicious joy of being alive.
Taking the "Sex Camp" Magic Home
Our program bridges the gap between expert sexual wellness and your daily reality. You’ll leave with a roadmap for a more pleasurable life—extending far beyond the bedroom. This is about more than intimacy; it’s about the permission to take up space and inhabit your body with less shame and more ease. The retreat ends, but the pleasure is just getting started.
This retreat may be for you if:
First and foremost,
You want to become your own SEXpert. You want to stop guessing and start knowing. You'll dive deep into exactly what turns you on, what gets you off, and ways to communicate that to a partner. From the sexual education you should have had to the full array of sex toys, we’ll help you expand your erotic imagination. You’ll leave with practical tools, tips, and techniques to own your pleasure and override the narratives you’ve learned in male-gaze media and porn.
And/or:
You’re a walking to-do list. You’ve been living from the neck up for too long and you’re ready to move back into your body.
You miss the "Pajama Magic." You crave that sacred, late-night sleepover energy where the best talks happen in slippers over great snacks.
The "Adulting Self" is heavy. You’re ready to drop the titles, stay in your sweats, and remember who you are when you aren't in charge.
Your "Want-to" has gone missing. Between the responsibilities and life stressors, you’ve forgotten the simple, unadulterated joy of your own pleasure.
The routine is monotonous. You’re ready to trade the "same-old" for a fresh spark and a sense of play both in and out of the bedroom.
You want a "Safe Sisterhood." You’re missing high-vibe women who skip the small talk and go straight to the deep, belly-laughing truth. Adult friendships are harder to foster; we’re curating an opportunity to create lasting, meaningful relationships–even if this has been a struggle for you in the past.
You’re ready to be "Off the Clock." You want to be nourished, fed by a private chef, and held in a space where your only job is to exhale.
You’re saying a big "YES" to yourself. You’re ready to take up more space and prioritize your joy—just because it feels good.
