Expect to be surprised

Jealousy. That raw, charged, often hidden force. What if instead of avoiding it, you entered it—played with it—let it burn, seduce, unravel, and awaken you?In this immersive weekend retreat, we open the door to one of our most taboo and potent shadow emotions. Together, we explore jealousy not as a problem to fix, but as a powerful gateway into deeper eros, truth, and liberation.Through experiential practices, we strip away the shame and moralism and get curious about what jealousy wants to show us—about our desires, our power, our tenderness, our wildness.This is not therapy. This is not about managing jealousy. This is an erotic playground where we bring jealousy into connection and embodied play.Expect to be moved. Expect to meet parts of yourself that long to be seen, loved, and desired exactly as they are.

A Unique Approach

  • We trust emotional intensity as an illuminating, erotic, and transformative force

Testimonials

From the 1st Jealousy Playground in June 2025

The Jealousy Playground was like microdosing intense emotions in a safe and supportive container. I was able to sit with my discomfort and listen to the needs underneath in a way I couldn’t before. ~ T., maleThis workshop was phenomenal. Leslie, Elaine and Adam are a dream team for guiding one down the rabbit hole while feeling incredibly safe, held and guided throughout. Life changing and worth every penny. ~ J., femaleJealousy Playground was surprisingly very fun for me! It was so healing to be able to do relational work with parts that are so disowned and judged—especially in the conscious communities. I have historically stuffed down my feelings of jealousy and have felt so alone in them because it's not "evolved" or "conscious" for me to feel them let alone share with others. I really enjoyed going to some edges that would NEVER be possible in normal life/society. My jealous, neurotic, vindictive, obsessive parts loved coming out to play and also invoking and PLAYING with other people's precious jealous parts. It was SO fun and deeply healing. I am not easily impressed, but was impressed how thorough the workshop was and how much terrain we covered. Elaine, Leslie, and Adam made a great team. They were very informative, accepting, fun, dynamic and welcomed a large range of experiences. Highly recommend! ~ L., femaleThis workshop was incredibly life changing. I have worked very hard on jealousy using the normal tools (EMDR, talk therapy, etc) and I felt like this workshop was much more powerful then those other modalities. It was so healing to be in community and hear other people’s experience of this taboo emotion. And to bring play and pleasure into the pain of jealousy was very fun and transformative. I would highly recommend this workshop for anyone who wants to transform their relationship to jealousy. ~ AnonymousThis experience was so potent for finding the immense love beneath my jealousy. I discovered how deeply deserving and valuable my jealous parts are—and I got to have FUN while pushing edges. So much and appreciation for this experience and the facilitators ~ M., femaleI learned that my jealousy is a compass on where I want to grow and expand in my life and not something to hide, surpress, or fear. ~ AnonymousAfter this immersion, I feel more excitement around feeling jealous instead of disdain for it. I feel like I have way more ways to work with jealousy. I feel excited to share my jealousy with my partner in a desirous way. I feel more relaxed around it because I feel more empowered around it—instead of victimized by it. ~ AnonymousThis workshop was so beautifully held and incredibly juicy. Leslie, Adam, and Elaine brought a
wonderful and unique combination of playfulness, vulnerability, and super tight crystal clear facilitation. This was easily in my top 3 workshop experiences! I discovered so much about myself and learned powerful tools and exercises. I WILL be bringing this into my life. THANK YOU!! ~ AnonymousThis workshop delivered. Deep shadow work with jealousy focus, useful transmutation tools, and extremely intense and rich scene work. Let there be more of these! * ~ B., male*I was scared that coming to this workshop meant that I was admitting defeat and seeing my jealousy as wrong. Instead, I got to practice appreciating my jealousy through healthy outlets. ~ C., female
