Do you have a felt connection to the feminine root of your body– the embodied intelligence of your pelvic space and sensual anatomy?
The sensual root is not just a metaphor, but a simple and powerful fact of the female body.
Without needing a definition, you instinctively know that your sensual anatomy- the synergy of your pelvis, womb, ovaries, vulva & erotic tissue– is the seat of a deeper and older intelligence, a physical expression of the feminine psyche in your own body and life.
Perhaps you already recognize that the extent of your health, vitality and feminine genius are proportionate to how strong and well nurtured your sensual root is. As pelvic healer Tami Lynn Kent writes, “When a woman is in tune with her core, she has a robust energetic presence in her pelvic bowl, which she carries into her daily life, and she knows how to maintain that.”
Do you wish to restore the felt communication and subtle guidance of your sensual root, and to experience it as ‘another brain’ in your body- the feminine brain- which anchors and expands the intelligence of the head? Do you feel compelled to restore the intelligence of your feminine base, strengthening its communication channel with the earth beneath, and nurturing your root, your vitality, and your life?
When we operate our lives from the head without the anchor and the balancing power of the pelvic root, we experience a loss of aliveness and sensuousness, a flatness of the mind, a withering of the feminine soul, and a departure from who we most naturally are.
Please join us in the forest for a day of somatic restoration and reclamation of your sensual root with Stefana Serafina, who has been guiding sensual anatomy journeys for fifteen years, and will guide us deep into the textures, sensations, and landscapes of our sensual temple, with the support of the living nature around us.
This will be an all-day event at a privately reserved forested site in Tilden Park, Berkeley, California.
