Introduction to Your Feminine Spring

In celebration of the Divine Feminine, this is a women’s health retreat of morning classes to dip into the refreshing waves of your Feminine Spring.

I was inspired to create a retreat where we can begin a new season, a springtime of relaxation and joy. We’ve chosen the luxurious, luscious island of Kauai because it is the ideal place to welcome a more graceful, feminine way of being to blossom inside you.

You may be looking to visit Kauai with amazing people, get your sexy back, have some relaxing ‘me-time’ or recharge your energy for a new dream. That’s what this Feminine Spring Retreat is all about.

Morning retreat classes from 8am -10 am give you plenty of time to explore the beauty of one of the most feminine places on the planet. Lodging, private sessions extra.

Swimming with Turtles

We will introduce methods used by female courtesans for thousands of years to restore their youthful vitality. These include our Yin Way Qi Gong (similar to Yoga) and White Tigress exercises that will calm your mind, refresh your body and lighten your spirit.

Yin Way Qi Gong on the Beach

Our focus is in supporting you to truly relax, rest, play and learn in a fascinating, friendly, yet not too busy circle of great women. While we will be learning ways to nourish the body through good food and invigorating exercises, sharing inspiring tips for sexual restoration and practicing some special chants to awaken your compassionate heart.

Because a big part of Feminine Spring is about relaxing in a nourishing way, there will be time to explore Kauai, create art, make friends or travel during the days. This retreat is designed for those who would like to join a group of luscious ladies AND have plenty of leisure time should you like to bring your honey along or work on a creative project.

Our goal is to provide women with the means, method, support and purpose for having an ongoing feminine spiritual practice that perpetually nourishes the Three Treasures; your body, your mind, and your spirit.

Private Sessions for Singles and Couples

Day Time Private Sessions with Amara Charles, Shyena Venice and Laka are also available. We Recommend Pre-Booking.

Residential Space is fully booked.

About Quodoushka Spiritual Sexuality Levels 1-4

quodoushka-spiritual-sexuality-workshops-amara-charles

Based in ancient shamanic traditions, the experience of Quodoushka will change the course of your life forever. This series of spiritual sexuality workshops will empower you to be a more sensitive, creative lover and will help you enjoy the intimacy you deserve in your relationships.

Since 1985 Quodoushka workshops have empowered people around the world to unlock their deep seeded blocks against pleasure and to have greater health, hope, happiness, harmony and humor in their sexual lives

Quodoushka workshops include:

Practical exercises to reach higher levels of orgasm, renew relationships, and discover the healing power of sex

  • Demonstrates how to identify and best please the nine male and female genital anatomy types—such as Coyote Man or Buffalo Woman
  • Provides exercises for greater sexual pleasure and orgasmic intensity, including the Firebreath exercise for full-body orgasm
  • Explains how to perform powerful healing sexual energetic work with the chakras and light body

Based on ancient Mayan, Olmec, and Toltec teachings passed down through the generations by the Twisted Hair Nagual Elders of the Sweet Medicine Path, Quodoushka offers practical guidance on sex, intimacy, and relationships as well as how to reach higher levels of orgasm and sexual ecstasy. Working with the healing power of sexual union and orgasm, this practice offers a path to repair emotional wounds and sexual insecurities, revive monotonous relationships, and discover the sweet medicine of sex.

Discovering Quodoushka Spiritual Sexuality

“Since most of us come from families where meaningful guidance about sex was scant if it existed at all, many of us are hungry to find sensible approaches for creating healthy intimate relationships. For me, discovering the teachings and practices of Quodoushka dramatically changed the course of my life. They not only offered an inspiring system of integrated knowledge, they expanded my whole view of sex, orgasms and relationships. They helped me accept the unique characteristics of my sexual anatomy and most importantly, showed me how we can learn through pleasure in order to become more sensitive, creative lovers.” Amara Charles

All Quodoushka Teachers

All Quodoushka teachers are highly trained individuals apprenticed to the Sweet Medicine Sundance Path of Turtle Island. Each Quodoushka is taught by both male and female teachers. This select group of teachers is authorized to present the Quodoushka teachings around the world.
