with Pala Copeland
Location: Mysthaven Retreat Centre,
Stouffville, Ontario, Canada
35 Minutes from Downtown Toronto or from the International Airport
- Are you keen to explore the connection between your sexual and spiritual self?
- Would you like to expand your sexual life so it includes more than just the physical?
- Are you interested in overcoming old conditioning (from school, church or families) about sex?
- Is becoming orgasmic or expanding your orgasmic capacity appealing to you?
- Do you find sex boring, frustrating or frightening?
- Would you like to befriend your body and allow it to experience sensual pleasure?
- Are you healing from past sexual trauma and wanting to open to a fully joyous sexuality?
- Do you want to get away from it all for a weekend of learning and celebration with other like-minded women?
Then this Awakening Your Goddess workshop is the weekend for you!
EXPAND YOUR PLEASURE POTENTIAL
Women have an extraordinary capacity for sensual/sexual pleasure and for spiritual joy, but unfortunately past experience and societal conditioning has suppressed this glory in many of us. Learn to re-unite these two powerful aspects of yourself by awakening your inner goddess.
At this weekend retreat for women only you'll have a safe environment in which to learn how to break through your barriers and reclaim your ecstasy. Mystery and delight awaits you on the other side of your boundaries. Celebrate the awakening of your divine self in this relaxed, informal group.
No matter what your age, whether you're 21 or 61, know that we are all sisters traveling on a path to more awareness, more love, more sensual and spiritual power. This weekend we will walk the path together.
EXPLORE THE MYSTERIES OF TANTRA
Tantra has much to teach us. Beyond exquisite techniques for lovemaking, tantra practice brings balance and centredness to your emotional life. It strengthens your immune system and improves your creative thought process. It helps you to see yourself and the world around you with new eyes-to celebrate the joy of life in every moment.
A TIME FOR PAMPERING

Expanding Your Creativity
Sacred Celebration
Safety and Trust
Sex and spirit are deeply personal subjects. I do my utmost to create a space that is safe for you to explore these profound aspects of yourself. I encourage you to push past your boundaries but you never have to share more than you are willing to or participate in any exercise that you do not want to. While there is frank and graphic discussion about sex there is no nudity or sexually explicit exercises.
If you would like to talk to me about this retreat I invite you to call me toll free at 1-800-684-5308 or you can email your questions to me at 4freedoms@tantraloving.com.
In love, light and a spirit of adventure,
Pala
Some Comments from Previous Goddess Weekends
To go through life without this knowledge is a huge denial of our true selves. Do this workshop! I loved it from beginning to end.

Awakening your inner goddess helped me finally let go of holding on! It entirely changed my feelings around sex and sexuality.
