It is a space in which women are free to unlock and explore the multitude of facets and textures of the powerful energy, emotion, and expression often “sush’d” quiet and suppressed in their bodies. In doing so they reclaim and embody their natural radiance and magnetism and remember the innate power that lives within them.

Whitney Tougas of Embodied Mama/Pleasure Sorcery and Liz Bliss of The Ecstatic Priestess are honored to continue this all women experience to honor RADICAL SELF EXPRESSION of the feminine.

Join us for an ecstatic ceremony in a sisterhood of shame-free feminine expression, embodiment, and connection for women to be seen, heard, and celebrated in their full wildness.

About Women Who Roar:

Have you ever been told to close your legs because that’s not “ladylike” or that you need to hide your sensuality because it’s too much for other people to handle?

Women Who Roar is a space to embrace our sensuality and the power that our sexual energy can bring to ourselves and the world; helping us live our most pleasurable and abundant lives in our full radiance.

Have you been shamed for experiencing anger, rage, sorrow or told to smile?

Women Who Roar is a space in which you are never “too much.” In which is is safe to surrender to anger, roar into the air with abandon, and feel the power of alchemized expression together in a container of radically expressed women.

Have you seen your male friends take their shirts off and dance freely with their nipples out and felt jealousy for that freedom?

Women Who Roar is a space that welcomes freedom of self expression through judgement-free clothing optional experiences built upon respect, consent, and body autonomy celebrating the beauty of all bodies in a space for women to honor each other and themselves in courageous expression, celebration, and adoration.

Have you been afraid to wear that lace see-through top or go braless for fear of what other people will say or think of you?

Women Who Roar is a space to wear whatever the fx%k you want.

Do you feel like you’re “too much” and that others might feel overwhelmed by you if you were to be fully yourself?

Women Who Roar is a space to explore your power of light and dark, embody and celebrate your deep capacity for pleasure, and allow this embodiment to guide you in the intuitive remembering that comes in being witnessed with adoration and celebration by other women without fear of being too much.

What women are saying:

“Women Who Roar was exactly the surrender and welcoming that my soul has been longing for!”

“Your event Friday night brought me to some deep truths about myself. It was fu%king powerful.”

“Every woman deserves to experience this life altering ceremony.”

“That was like three therapy sessions in one.”

“I didn’t realize how much my soul was craving a space like Women Who Roar until I arrived and felt something light up within me.”

“You both are creating some beautiful magic in these circles.”

“I was able to fully embrace my movements with a remembrance like no other! Thank you for the sacred guidance.”

“(WWR is) so unique and powerful, connecting breath, movement, witnessing, and celebrating the Goddess within.”

We look forward to witnessing you in all of your Seductress Sensuality.

FAQ:

Who can attend Women Who Roar?

ALL women who consent to the agreements of the container (this is an alcohol-free event built upon consent and respect) and who desire a space in which to be held and celebrated in full, radiant expression.

What are the COVID policies?

At present, masking and/or testing are not required to attend Women Who Roar, however, these guidelines are subject to change as the situation continues to shift and change. We trust participants to act in integrity in making appropriate decisions to honor the health and safety of themselves and other women in attendance. Should you be exposed to Covid or feel in any way unwell, please stay home and nurture yourself. Contact Liz or Whitney to arrange a refund or registration transfer.

Do I have to take my clothes off?

Absolutely not. Nudity is not required but is welcome. This is intended as a space in which bodies of all feminine beings are honored, celebrated, and received as the sacred, beautiful vessels they are without being told to “cover up” and without fear of objectification.

Women Who Roar is a space for all women to feel free and celebrated in their full expression, inclusive of their naked bodies, without restriction or expectation on that expression. We believe there is potent healing that comes from permission to be radically expressed and held in that expression.

What happens if I arrive after doors are locked or I can’t attend?

We understand that life happens and traffic can be unpredictable. The time boundary is important in creating a sound container for deep practice and no one will be admitted after the doors lock without exception. Please contact Liz or Whitney if this happens.

Wim Hof Method Fundamentals Workshop

Sunday, October 22, 2023

10:00 AM to 2:00 PM

Pricing: $100 per person

Led by: Don Neder of FlowGevity

Put yourself in the expert hands of a certified WHM Instructor to learn the 3 pillars of the Wim Hof Method (WHM): Breathing Technique, Cold Exposure & Commitment. Find out how you can utilize oxygen and cold exposure to optimize body & mind, and learn about the underlying physiology.

The intimate quality allows for ample personal attention, and feedback tailored to your specific situation. Whether you are looking to improve mental or physical performance, relieve symptoms related to an illness, or are just curious to find out what the Wim Hof Method is all about— a WHM workshop offers something for everyone.

The program will kick off with an introduction to the Wim Hof Method, and will include a breathing session and an (optional) ice bath. At the end there is ample room for reflection, and I will be there to answer questions throughout the workshop.

If you have no prior experience with cold exposure, we recommend you finish your showers cold in the days leading up to the workshop. This may be overwhelming at first, but just try to relax, focus on your breath, and bring it into a controlled, steady rhythm.

Who is this workshop for?

This workshop is suitable for everyone, but does require a basic level of health. Out of precaution, we advise against participation during pregnancy, or if you are epileptic. People with cardiovascular issues, or any other serious health conditions should always consult a medical professional before starting the Wim Hof Method.
