“[The erotic] has been made into the confused, the trivial, the psychotic, the plasticized sensation. For this reason, we have often turned away from the exploration and consideration of the erotic as a source of power and information, confusing it with its opposite, the pornographic. But pornography is a direct denial of the power of the erotic, for it represents the suppression of true feeling."
Audre Lorde
On the EroticContrary to the watered-down definitions that we are given in modern society, eroticism is so much more than sexual or kinky activity.
The Erotic is a concept that cannot be adequately summarized in any dictionary or wikipedia page. This is because the essence of the erotic is as seeped with mystery as life is seeped with the erotic—or so it seems. In simple terms, Erotic energy is creative life force energy—which can be cultivated, harnessed, and directed. Eroticism is one's capacity for maintaining vitality and aliveness; the ability to transform sexuality into something that is creative and imaginative; the life-giving force that lives in our bodies—the very force that is shamed, suppressed and oppressed within the cultural constructs many of us find ourselves in. Eroticism is the cure to numbness. It is our capacity to impact and be impacted by the world. It is our capacity to be in relationship with everything around us. |

What People are Saying...
"First of all, this class was just the shit. Like, I loved everything about it. I adored the cohort, I valued every single invitation. I really really looked forward to the online meetings every week. They flowed so well and Jacqueline did a fabulous job facilitating really lovely grounding meditations before excellent discussions that always felt purposeful. Everything felt very tactful and real and supportive and fun. I feel like I got permission from day one to dive really deep into all my wounds in a very non-scary way that brought beautiful results each and every week. I also feel very empowered to continue exploring the themes that surfaced for me as I continue working with the invitations and creating all the arty things ready to come out now. This experience has really profoundly benefited my healing journey and has unexpectedly been a catalyst for finally bringing in some more fun."

"This course changed my life! Jacqueline is such an incredible guide. She has so many resources and knows so much that she shared with us, and it left me in awe. Courting the Wild Erotic gave me so many tools to work with, and it has changed my relationships with myself, my husband, the people around me, and with nature. It is truly all-encompassing! You work on this one sexuality and creativity bit, the Wild Erotic, and EVERYTHING changes."
Marilyn, Moon Intensive 2021 |
"For all the ladies out there who want to be more more sensual, more joyful, more wild and more in touch with the divine feminine within, here is the opportunity. I have spent the past two years delving deeper into that soft, melty, juicy part of me and found this course to be another excellent stepping stone on that journey. In a world that values strength and ambition, Courting the Wild Erotic provides an experience and a community where we can surrender to our own femininity and embrace the power that comes from gentleness, compassion, grace and eroticism."
—Megan, Moon intensive 2021
"I have a deep appreciation for what I learned about myself and eros while taking this course. While much of the course was geared towards activities guided around the self, such as journaling and meditations, the written lessons were also full of information that was fascinating to read through while I sat by a fire. This program gave me a series of practices and ideas to use moving forward to continue learning about my creativity and eros. I learned where my creativity lives and how to harness it, as well as how to identify when it is being stifled and how to tap into it during such times. Jacqueline does an excellent job guiding her cohort members through the experience in a way that meets their needs and fits into their lives. Her dedication to the people in the course is clear, and she cared deeply about ensuring that each and every one of us felt heard and supported throughout."
—Maddie, Moon intensive 2021
"This program was really well thought out and had a great (and purposeful) diversity of activities. Jacqueline created open space for exploration and held the space so well in our live sessions. I had some incredible moments where it felt like creativity and eros were just flowing this past month. I look forward to continuing to work with the cycles, exercises and content. Bringing awareness to some of the key ways I access my creative energy will be something I am excited to continue exploring well into the future, and I love that you've given us tools to keep learning.

The river does not flow in polluted, we manage that. The river does not dry up, we block it. If we want to allow it its freedom, we have to allow our ideational lives to be let loose to stream, letting anything come, initially censoring nothing. That is creative life.
