The Way of Energy:
Radical Capacity & Personal Freedom

April 2-6, 2025  |  Venus Bay, VIC Australia

Do you yearn for deeper engagement in your relationships?

Do you have the feeling that there is much more pleasure and fulfillment available, just beyond your reach?

Are you curious about directing energy in your body – for the erotic as well as creativity?

Do you feel like your full potential is not being met?

Do you start new explorations but struggle to follow through?

Are you ready to expand beyond your upper limit beliefs?

Our ability to live a deep and fulfilling life, with ever increasing pleasure, deeper relationships and vast abundance is directly related to our ability to sustain and expand energetic capacity.

Capacity – the mastery of energy – physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually – is the key to unlocking vitality, abundance and the fullness of your erotic and creative potential.

Harnessing, directing and expanding energy is a distinct skill set that can be learned. When mastered, the conduction of energy can be applied to all areas of life including relationship, career, creativity, and the erotic.

While learning skills and techniques allow us to develop competency, deep sustainable change only occurs when we have access to energetic potency and personal power. But our ability to follow through and grow beyond existing patterns can be difficult and tiring.

Without the understanding of energetic capacity, it’s almost impossible to sustain a new level of development – we get stuck at our upper limit set point – and the lack of energetic conductivity leads to self-sabotage and limiting behaviors.

In this brand new 5-Day Immersion, offered at a private location situated in wild nature, Michaela and Steve will guide you through explorations, rituals and practices to clarify and build energetic capacity.


Combining their expertise and practice you will receive embodiment practices, solo, paired and group processes, shamanic ritual and exercises to:

 

  • Receive instructions in esoteric and erotic energy techniques.
  • Identify and heal energy leaks that rob you of vitality and potency.
  • Recognize and release toxic and draining relationships.
  • Confront outdated commitments and obligations.
  • Learn how to establish boundaries.
  • Release emotional and psychological patterns of self limitation and sabotage.
  • Relax and reframe habits of clench and cope that constrict your energetic potential
  • Free yourself from old relational and generational imprints.
  • Identify and expand beyond your upper limit beliefs.

In this retreat you will discover how to cultivate and grow your inherent energetic capacity, regulate your energy especially in times of intensity, and identify and heal energy leaks in your physical, emotional, spiritual, and relational life.

Through exercises, solo, paired and group processes, embodiment practices and sacred rituals you will will engage in the 5 principles of Energy Mastery:

Relax

Learn to identify and free yourself from chronic tension patterns in the body which block your natural vitality, creativity, and pleasure.

Release

Let go of “freeze”, old trauma patterns, limiting beliefs and old imprints.

Regulation

Reorientation

Resilience
