Awaken as Eros: An Erotic Laboratory
“It’s not selfish to put yourself first—it’s self-full.” ~Iyanla Vanzant
*Eros*: In Greek mythology, Eros is the god of love and sxxual desire. The term represents passion and attraction, embodying intense emotional and physical connections.
Join Reid Mihalko and Monique Darling for a transformative weeklong retreat to explore your deepest desires. This immersive experience will help you break free from societal constraints and discover what you truly want in a highly curated environment.
There are so many erotic and sxxual spaces being offered in our communities, the challenge is many of them are not trauma informed. They use a sledgehammer to make a point, and often the facilitators are using the containers to fill up their own Eros tanks. Reid and I have crafted an event where you get to wake up your Eros. Subtlety, integrity, communication, and accountability are all pillars of this work for us, and we are conscious of coming into the container full, so we can serve you, not the other way around.
This retreat is designed to help you express your Eros without shame or hesitation, no matter your age, size, gender, or orientation. Dive into sensual anatomy, bedroom skills, and erotic demos. We will cover shame, guilt, the soul mate trap, dating your species, boundaries, and permission to be yourself. Engage in powerful rituals. Learn about speed rejection, pressure play, and create your own menu of desires during research and development sessions to try out anything and everything that interests you.
In this highly tailored environment, you can release body shame and rewire rejection programming. Touch the shame, guilt, fear, and belief systems that hold you back from imagining what you really desire. If you can’t even imagine, no wonder you don’t have the skills to ask for it!
Key Highlights:
- *Discover Erotic Self-Expression*: Explore Eros and intimacy with minimal drama and maximum pleasure.
- *Overcome Sxxual Shame*: Replace shame with unbridled pleasure and aliveness.
- *Communicate Desires Effectively*: Learn to ask for what you want and handle rejections gracefully.
- *Engage in Powerful Rituals*: Participate in activities that help you explore your Eros in a caring environment with expert guidance. Learn to touch one another naked, with reverence, and begin to unravel unworthiness so you can truly ask for what you want in the bedroom and beyond.
-**Hone Your Listening (and Ability To Hear) Your Body and the Bodies of Others)
- *Pressure Play: Harnessing Your Pelvic Floor for Greater Health, Pleasure, and Bedroom Prowess!*: Learn how the muscles and ligaments in your pelvis work like ropes and pulleys to enhance pleasure, arousal, and body awareness. Activate your pelvic floor to boost bedroom skills, ease pelvic pain, and improve overall health.
-**Trauma and Repair
Learn how to hold compassionate space for lovers and yoruself when trauma and projection show up, and how not to deflect or attack but take steps towards resilience and repair.
Awaken as Love is an evolutionary movement happening around the world. Founded by one of my best friends, James Stevenson. Awaken as Eros is proud to be sponsored and co organized by Awaken as Love. I, Monique, am a lead faculty, and am awed in the ways that AAL has shaped, transformed and integrated my life these past 7 years, and I'm extremely excited to be leading an offshoot of it that combines Eros with Integrity and Evolution and Integration

Sacred Intimacy: Tantric Massage

You will pair with fellow participants in ritual, learning to experience touch not just as a physical act, but as an energy exchange—a doorway to spirit. The body becomes a temple, and through sacred touch, you’ll unlock its secrets, reclaim its magic, and awaken to pleasure as a way of being.
The Tantric tradition teaches us that in the mundane lies the extraordinary. Each breath, every sensation, becomes a portal into the divine. Here, touch is no longer a surface experience but a sacred act of devotion, where energy and connection flow freely.
This isn’t just a training—it’s a reclamation. A space to gather the scattered pieces of your heart and soul, a journey into sacred intimacy that promises not just transformation but awakening. And learn how to do that for each person who lies on your table.
Are you ready to say yes to yourself, your mission, and the sacred work that calls you? Your path begins here : https://www.eventbrite.com/e/coed-tantric-practitioner-training-w-lauren-monique-peter-russell-tickets-1248469528969

Soulful Seas Croatia Yacht Retreat with Monique Darling & Peter Petersen
“Set sail, shed inhibitions, and dive into deep connection on the stunning Adriatic.”
In November, we welcomed a lovely soul to our facilitator intensive in Cabo, and her dream was as big as the open seas—to bring Conscious Community yacht experiences to life. And guess what? Jessica Lee Filkins made that dream a reality!
Now, in gratitude for our support, she’s offering us a once-in-a-lifetime chance: a special discount for a week-long yacht retreat along the beautiful Croatian coast, from August 2-9, 2025. Instead of the usual $5000 per person, it’s just $3800!
This retreat takes Tantra beyond a single place. With our Soulful Seas Croatia Yacht Retreat, you’ll practice in multiple stunning locations, each offering its own magic. Imagine joining Peter Petersen and me aboard a luxurious yacht as we explore hidden bays, intimate island ports, and the captivating Croatian coastline.
Peter and I experienced this yacht trip, late this summer, and we fell in love with every aspect of it! There are no waves so there is no motion sickness, zero..so as one who had always gotten sick on boats, this is a miracle.

The water is warm and so many beautiful shares of green and blue, so calm and clear and welcoming. Croatia is without a doubt my new favorite spot of everywhere I have ever traveled, so we just had to create an opportunity for our friends to join us next year for something that should be experienced at least once in a persons lifetime.
We’ll start each day with sunrise qigong and wind down with sunset sessions, ecstatic dance, Latihan, rituals, massage, and authentic relating games on the upper deck. Each moment invites you to dive deeper into presence and embodiment. And yes, we’ll be having several of our famous temple nights under the stars, with the open sea as our sanctuary.
Picture yourself sitting in yab yum, surrounded by a passionate, conscious community, watching breathtaking sunsets and sunrises over the Adriatic. This journey includes all accommodations: 7 days on a state-of-the-art yacht, access to some of the most exotic locations, and two delicious meals a day. Plus, we’ll share meditations, soulful practices, and a special medicine journey to deepen the experience.
One more bonus of this one of a kind trip is we will have a special guest star, one of our best friends, a meditation and energy master, who will be offering some of each. Drum roll.... Larwence Lanoff in the house!
Also we will have an extraordinary photographer that you can hire for photo shoots and he will be taking footage, videos and photos of our yacht experiences that I will share with everyone! Ross Lewin.
Everything is clothing-optional while we’re out on the open sea, giving you the freedom to embrace the ocean breeze, the warm sea, and the sun kissing your body—however you feel most at home.
This is a rare opportunity at an affordable price for a truly priceless experience. We have 30 spots, and 12 deposits are already in, so if this calls to you, reach out for a conversation to ensure it’s the right fit. This space is not for beginners—it’s for those truly ready to dive deep, internally and outwardly, with a chosen community.
What are you waiting for?
Secure your spot with a $1500 deposit and get ready to join us on this mystical, magical journey. You can save on Eventbright fees by paying us directly through PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle.
