A 6 DAY DEVOTIONAL EXPLORATION OF ROPE, SENSATION, AND EMBODIED TRUTH

PORTUGAL • SEPTEMBER 19-24th 2026

 

  

THE EDGE RETREAT

4 WEEKS ONLINE EROS & EDGE TRAINING // 6 DAYS IN-PERSON RETREAT PORTUGAL 

 

WHAT LIVES ON THE EDGE IS THE UNCHARTED TERRITORY THAT SPARKS ALIVENESS.  THE EDGE EXISTS AT THE HEART-POUNDING PULSE OF TRUTH, THE RAWNESS OF VULNERABILITY & THE GORGEOUS THRILL OF NOT KNOWING WHAT COMES NEXT. 



THE EDGE IS WHERE MASKS FALL AWAY & SOMETHING REAL EMERGES. IT'S WHERE COURAGE MEETS FEAR & TRANSFORMATION BEGINS.

Unravel into Sensation

 

 EDGE: Shibari & Sensation workshop in Denver, Colorado in August 2025 left such a powerful impression we found ourselves aroused by the idea of going deeper. We are leading you into an 8-week experience of the transformational magick of Eros, Shibari & Sensation. 

 

EDGE isn't for the faint of heart, it's for those who want tho thrive on the Edge of life, taste the colors, and live a more vicerally powerful existence in purpose. 

You will feel the thrill, the charge, the inspiration, the power, and the turn-on.

What people say about Edge:

 "Edge, didn't just exceed my expectations, it dissolved them completely, opening me to experiences I never even knew to dream of.

Alyssa and Kati held such exquisitely sacred space for our diverse group of souls. In their presence, I felt so deeply cared for, seen, and so tenderly held throughout every moment of the journey. 

Honestly, my heart could have stayed in that container for weeks, continuing to unravel and discover. Yet I left feeling so beautifully full, so completely satiated with all the sensations and revelations I got to experience."

— AnaCristina 

 "This experience was life-altering, both from a personal place as well as interpersonally; I was deeply changed - transmuted - and the ideas for creating cathartic scenes and transformative predicaments started flowing like never before.

I left with a profound respect and reverence for the importance of ritual and the power of pain, and the human capacity to move energy through the body for healing.

Really just amazing and thank you both again for hosting, holding, showing, and teaching. I hope to share spaces with you again soon!"

SHIBARI 

Shibari, is the Japanese Art of tying the body in ropes.  More than just the technical tying of the ropes on the body, this retreat guides you to a way of movement, mood, emotion, and energetics at which one applies the rope to the body. 

In this art, ropes cease to be mere bindings; they become conduits of introspection & connection, channels through which we explore not just the physical form but the emotional landscape within. Shibari is a language of sensation while holding a large amount of symbolism around freedom, intimacy, & safety. 

A profound & revealing unravelling of our understanding of control & surrender, pain & pleasure, fear & desire.

For many, being ensnared within the ropes offers a deep release, a moment of embodied presence, a respite from responsibilities, a sacred space to listen to one's own inner rhythms, to feel deeply, to surrender wholly, and to experience the tactile arousal of the skin. It transforms into a meditation, a dance in a parallel universe, a realm distinct from the ordinary, offering interactions and intimacy that transcend the mundane.

SENSATION

Sensation to elatation, Pain into poetry, Pleasure as possibility

The body is the portal to altered states of consciousness,

to Erotic currents, to living a life of full of Aliveness. 

Sensation is coming back home to you.  To translating the world through your authentic truth of the body as the guiding force.  

When we move experiences through the body, this is where there are the largest transformations in life. 

You don't need to think it, you feel it.

You become it.

What people say about Edge:

"A week later, I am still feeling the ripples of EDGE. While it was nothing I expected, it was everything I needed.

I got closer to my partner I attended with, but also gained tools and understanding for how I can be closer to everyone in my life. 

To come face to face with my suffering, to name it and claim it and walk away knowing where I can continue to work, was such a gift.

The container that Alyssa and Kati held was nothing short of magic. I felt seen, loved, supported and pushed into fun new edges of exploration and connections within the group.
I had the most beautiful experience switching roles in my dynamic and feeling empowered, softened, loved, loving. Wow. Thank you both so much, truly."

— Lindsey <3

“Through the work of this brief weekend the connections between Eros, sensation, pain, pleasure and Life-Itself clicked more in me than it had before in my shibari practice.

This workshop was way more than the sum of its prosaic parts (as I recall: felt sense of the body … rope … candles … honoring your impulses … bamboo BBQ skewers).

The demo/ritual between you two was transporting. It invited the archetypes into the room. The intimate duet raised the bar for all participants by example.

The thoughtful intro teachings set the tone in a way that seemed to level up what we could all share in a short space of time.

My one piece of what-to-change type feedback is “more, please”.
