MAY 12-17, 2023
Sunday 6pm-Friday 9:30am
If you've landed here, you're probably longing for more pleasure, more body liberation, nourishing & erotic connections, embodied exploration, and more playful adventures.
You likely feel excited/curious to explore your edges and a bit nervous as well.
If this feels like you, you're in the right place.
This five night experience is going to be filled with a whole lot of GOODNESS!
The kind where you...
lay around naked OR Show up in your sexiest outfit,
make beautiful and meaningful friendships, Learn about pleasure and kink,
eat the most delicious nourishing snacks, normalize
nudity, desire, and genitals,
prioritize pleasure, play, and wholeness.
The flow of the week:
You arrive Sunday evening to a stunning space, you walk in the door and take a deep breath, feeling your body settle. No responsibilities.
You're here to let go of pushing through and obligations.
You're greeted with warmth & excitement and shown to your beautiful room where a swag bag of gifts awaits.
Opening ceremony Wednesday night, where we create a sacred 'safe-enough' brave container for all our playful and meaningful exploration for the week.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner and all your snacks are included, we pride ourselves on feeding our guests delicious and nourishing food.
You're fully cared for here. No kids, no work, no spouse, no cooking, no cleaning. You wont tidy a thing, clean a dish, or take care of anyone else. We are in service to YOU.
Prepare to be celebrated, to be honoured and seen in your most honest truth.
The space is nude inclusive space where your whole self is welcome to roam about naked, in your robe, in lingerie, or in your sweats! Whatever you're most comfortable in.
Judgment and shame-free environment. You're free to be your most authentic self here. Wether you're telling your juiciest stories, sharing body image challenges, or exploring a long forgotten side of yourself, all of you is welcome here.
Connecting, healing, playful workshops on Saturday and Sunday where we explore our relationship to our body's and pleasure, boundaries/containment, the anatomy of pleasure, and inviting your playful self out.
Nude genital gazing and guided stroking and masturbation workshop! This portion is optional. For those wanting to opt out, there will be an alternative adventure planned for you.
Free time to connect to self and others, depending on what your speed is. Have some alone time sun-bathing naked and reading that book you keep meaning to get to, or sit by the pond with your new pals and share stories and laughs.
Enjoy a walk in the forest, hang out in the hot tub, or play an instrument by the fire!
Closing ceremony where we acknowledge each of you for your bravery, vulnerability and for choosing yourself in a very big & bold way!

Hi, I'm Kat Nantz
Welcome.
I'm a somatic sex coach & Somatic Experiencing trained at the Advanced level. My passion is bringing more pleasure and freedom to folks who struggle to be in their body or who have experienced trauma (Hint! This is most of us!).
20 years of planning group experiences of all kinds, kink parties, women's re-wilding events, being in nude spaces, group facilitation, exploring pleasure & arousal, working with 100's of people 1:1 and in groups created the unique life experience and learnings that had me dream up this beautiful liberating retreat.
It is an incredible privilege to be a trusted guide in this work. I feel deeply honoured to hold folks in their most tender moments, to return them home to their body's and pleasure, to witness them in their bravest and scariest moments of becoming.
I offer this work because it transformed my life, completely. I hope it will offer you the same gifts.
This five night retreat is not for the faint of heart...
We are showing up in this space together to shift what it means to be in relationship with our body, the erotic, community, to blur the lines between friendship and intimate relationships.
If you want to do something BOLD, something inspired, something that will feel life giving and life changing, this is it.
FIVE NIGHTS of connection, pleasure, freedom, liberation, and play!
What's included:
Workshops
Opening & closing ceremony, curated workshops on boundaries, somatic holds and exercises, pleasure, play, and self devotion facilitated & lead by Sex Coach & trauma practitioner Kat Nantz.
Plus! 1:1 photoshoots available with the amazing Lindsay
Nourishing Food
We take food seriously. This is such a big part of PC!
Breakfasts, lunches, dinners and all snacks are provided by us. While you're nourishing your soul & heart, we will nourish your body with delicious food
Warm Space
Join us in a stunning space in PORTUGAL with natural light pouring in, a pool, beautiful view. Look out at the magical landscape! Pick fresh fruit from the trees! Lounge in the hammock, or hottub!
Swag Bag
Tote bag full of self care and pleasure products from some of Kat's favourite brands, because we want you to feel spoiled!
Friendship
Cultivate new friendships and deepen into community.
Not many of us have had the experience of deep, intimate connecting, healing friendship, where we can be naked and bare it all (literally and figuratively) with friends. We are rewriting the script of friendship here.
Liberation
This space is for you. It's a reclamation of our wilder selves, our most true selves. You don't have to put parts of yourself away here. All of you is welcome.
Care
No cooking, no cleaning, no spouses or kids. We are here to serve you so you can relax, play and be cared for.
