3-Day Immersive in Santa Monica, CA
August 1-3 and September 19-21
Experiential learning at the intersection of sensual somatics, sexological bodywork, and plant medicines
Do you feel ready and curious to
expand your erotic connection with your partner, learn what your body is capable of, and how to
feel safe satiating your desires?
YES - I WANT IN!
In this three-day immersion with certified Somatic Sex Educators & Sexological Bodyworkers - Ariel Szabo and Rahi Chun - you will deepen your relationship by touching, feeling, and connecting with your beloved.
In addition to learning how to engage your lover's erogenous zones and feel the sacred pleasure points of the Yoni and Lingam, you'll develop the somatic skills to yield to your partners touch, ask for what you want, and connect heart-to-heart for extended intimacy & lovemaking. On the final day, you'll have the opportunity to receive the support of grandfather medicine to come deeper into your body, heart, and connection.
A union rooted in interdependence that satiates our primal need and desire for connection and aliveness.
A union that occurs when two souls intertwine, each in their wholeness, with transparency and vulnerability in service to love.
A transformative merging of energy supported through extended states of pleasure - where erotic energy invites altered states of consciousness for healing and expansion.

“Rahi and Ariel are a sex therapy dream team. Rahi is passionate about his craft, yet also kind, gentle, and reassuring. Rahi made us feel safe in ways that I never knew I deserved, and his continued, gentle guidance sets us at ease as we go on our journey. Ariel is knowledgeable, yet never imposing. She is like a companion who has walked the road before us, and eager to point the way. We feel very comforted by her gentle presence!”

“Ariel and Rahi’s facilitation was a perfect blend of very high level skill and expertise, and a beautifully tender and inviting container. The tantric weaving between their energies was effortless. I felt deeply held in their presence from start to finish that energetically opened me in ways that no other ceremony ever had before. Their solid presence guided us into a deep self-inquiry, an exploration that helped me touch upon one of my core issues in relationships - trust. I was able to meet that part of myself in the loving arms of my partner and allow my inner child to experience healthy co-regulation because of this impeccably held container.”
Lana K., Authentic Relating Facilitator
Rahi Chun
Somatic Sex Educator, Sexological Bodyworker, and Creator of Somatic Sexual Wholeness
Rahi's offering, Somatic Sexual Wholeness, developed organically as a body of work holding space for repairing ruptures within the evolution of our sexual embodiment sequentially - first addressing developmental wounds, then boundary violations during adolescence, before resolving those in the pelvic bowl from adulthood.
By following his curiosity about the diverse approaches to releasing chronic guarding patterns from the tissues and fascia of the genitalia, he developed an expertise in the field of genital dearmouring and teaches it online via his signature course, "The 3 Keys to Genital Dearmouring for Expanding and Reclaiming Pleasure" and in workshops and retreats worldwide.
He is trained and certified in a variety of touch-based sexual and non-sexual healing modalities such as Neuroaffective Touch, Dearmouring Arts, the Taoist practices of Chi Nei Tsang and Karsai Nei Tsang, TRE, the Wheel of Consent and Sexological Bodywork. His Master’s in Psychology involved a particular interest in understanding how our initial touch imprints from childhood and adolescence influence our adult sexual intimacy patterns, behaviors, and experiences.
He currently offers 1:1 & couples sessions, as well as retreats & workshops in Santa Monica, California and worldwide.
Ariel Szabo
Somatic Sex Educator, Sexological Bodyworker, Psychedelic Therapist, and Creator of Sacred MoonFlower
Ariel is a sacred sexuality practitioner and somatic psychedelic therapist. She works with pleasure and plants to guide individuals and couples back to their bodies, into ecstatic connection, and toward fully embodied, soul-led living.
Her approach blends the sacred arts of sexual awakening, relational healing, and nervous system repair—rooted in her own journey from numbness and disconnection to living an orgasmic, embodied life. Ariel holds space with reverence, deep attunement, and trust in the body’s innate wisdom to heal, awaken, and transform.
She weaves together years of study with plant medicines and Indigenous wisdom keepers in Peru alongside her training in somatic sex education, sexological bodywork, and psychedelic therapy.
Her work is devoted to restoring eros as a source of vitality, belonging, and remembrance.
Ariel currently offers 1:1 and couples sessions, ceremonies, and immersive experiences in Santa Monica, California, and facilitates plant medicine retreats in Peru.
“I attended Rahi and Ariel's event and was deeply changed. My girlfriend and I went to a deep vulnerable place where we did amazing work. As a clinical psychologist, I understand the importance of the space-holder to create a safe place for people to go deep. Rahi and Ariel did just that. My partner and I did some profound healing around our inner children and there were concrete take-aways that we have been practicing. I highly recommend their workshops!”
