Upcoming events.
Yoga For Cancer and Thrivorship - Online
Class starts with a check in, then a mindfulness meditation, some breathing and movement based in Yoga done seated on a chair, then yoga done on a mat on the floor, always with the option to stay in a chair, and a relaxation done lying on the floor, again, can be done on a chair or couch, but best on the floor.
Soft Animals/Opening to Pleasure Practices
This practice is an exploration of interception, our ability to feel what’s happening inside our body through constant self directed intuitive movement. The practice is a very open space. We can express emotion without having to know what it’s about. There’s room to bang on pillows or take a primal scream. It could also open to states of pleasure, fun, and silliness.
Tantric Date With Yourself
What is a Tantric Date with Yourself? It is, exactly as it sounds, it is a Date with Yourself, and it is Tantric Flavored. Instead of a date with a lover, or a romantic partner or even a friend, this event is a Date with Yourself!!
Whether you are wanting to live single, not at all interested in dating, simply wanting to live a richer fuller life with Yourself, or if you are engaged in dating, and want to yummy up with Yourself on nights when you don't have a date, or even if you are in a relationship and you want to better enjoy your days and nights alone with yourself when your Honey is busy or traveling, this class is for you. The experiential workshop will provide fun, sexy and creative ways to Enjoy Yourself.
Tantric Date: Come Together in Love for the Lunar New Year
This session will be a celebration of the Lunar New Year. We always have an opportunity to renew our intentions and values– and the lunar new year presents another moment to reconnect and rekindle individual and collective goals around, Pleasure, Connection, Fun, Sexual Health and Well Being and anything else that is important for the two of you as a couple.
Breathwork for Sexual Empowerment: Clearing and Setting Intentions for the New Year
Great sex is a trance state. We learn to stay in our bodies and let transportive waves of pleasure take us out into altered states. Breathwork is also a trance state, so it lends itself to the exploration of emotion, presence, and journey. We allow known and unknown sensations to arise, change and shift shape as they travel through us. Marisa has been exploring Breathwork as a tool for expanded sexuality. We dive into our embodied “yes” and “no”-- the vibration of them in our body, and when they were not heard by ourselves and others. Through a supportive container, we express it all fully.
Cuddle Party
We are all touch deprived. Soft slow touch with our consent, hugs, connecting our bodies and holding and being held is healing to our nervous systems, immune systems, brains and just feels great!! It can bring up feelings and may be unusual in this context. It may not be everyone's cup of tea. But for many of us we try it and we like it. We are mammals, we need touch and our communities and ways of connecting socially don’t facilitate enough touch for most of us.
Come join us. Try it. Go at your own pace. We will have snacks and tea so you can chill and have quiet conversation, make new or old friends and just check it out. We will end with a closing circle, a meditation and some prayer.
Nourishment for Breast/Chest Health
Many of us offer nourishment to our loved ones, the earth, our communities, and our creative projects. We often forget to nurture ourselves– and when we do, our chest/breasts are last on the list. Most post-colonization massage and therapeutic techniques skip the breasts/chest. It’s common to only touch this space within sexual or medical environments. Let’s redirect some of our nourishing energy back to ourselves, and cultivate space for our own healing. Breasts/chests for people of all genders have the potential to feed another human being– there is incredible potential in tuning into that nourishment and using it for our own care.
Breathwork for Sexual Empowerment: Body/Nature, Auto and Ecosexuality
For this particular Breathwork for Sexual Empowerment will explore the themes of Body/Nature, Auto and Ecosexual. Sometimes we get caught up in our Sexuality only being expressed in coupling, connection to another, romantic and partnered relationships. For this Breathwork we will make room for grief and loss around how we lose our connection to Self Sexuality in relationship to another and how we “forget” and become disconnected from ourselves in the process of moving in and out of relationships. We will celebrate and expand on our Auto Sexuality and the Sexiness of Ecosexuality, Sex as it relates to Nature and the Other than Human. We will play with the balance of building intensity and release and letting go, the waves, both sides or 0rgasmic pIeasure.

Breast/Chest Massage for Witching Magic
In this Breast/Chest Massage we take back our Breasts for our own magic making. We honor our ancestors. We are the witches they could not burn. Even as we take our Breasts and use them for igniting magic and spell casting we will also grieve and mourn for all the losses of the wise women, the holders of the herbal medicine and the cultural women's wisdom who were murdered in witch hunts, in the Inquisition.
We explore a whole range of therapeutic and varied touch. We will reflect on our relationship to our Breast and Chest tissue and the touch and care they have received. In a supportive container we will discuss our relationship to our Breasts and Chests.

Breathwork For Sexual Empowerment: When the Veils are Thin, Healing the Past
For this Breathwork for Sexual Empowerment we will celebrate Samhain, the Pagan Holiday where we get Halloween. In most healing, including these modalities Marisa is using, Reiki, Breathwork, and Somatics, we move beyond time and space. In this practice around the time of Samhain, when it is said in many traditions that the veils between the living and the dead, the past and the present, are thin, we will pay special attention to reaching back in time and healing the past, individually and communally, of our Sexual Stories, letting go of shaming teachings and inviting an Honoring of our Sexual Bodies, Energy and Pleasure.
Tantric Date: Fall Back into Love
It’s time to fall back into yourself, and fall back into each other. Autumn has a lot to teach us. As the colors and temperatures change, we can stay connected to our practice of play and spaciousness. We can create time for fun and pleasure. They say that fall is the second spring– a time to keep blooming.
Are you struggling to connect in Joy, Love, Play, Fun and Connection as a couple? Have the difficulties and strains of the past year(s) been hard on each of you individually, and as a couple? Are you both stressed out? Burnt out and just “keeping it together?” Would you like a safe space to explore rekindling and remembering new and old ways you could connect? This Date Nite is for YOU --for both of you and each of you!!
Breathwork for $exual Empowerment: Balance for the Fall Equinox

For this Breathwork for $exual Empowerment we will celebrate the Fall Equinox. This is a time of balance, when the light meets the dark, when night equals day. We will explore the balance in our lives and in our $exuality of giving and receiving, taking and allowing.
Ecstatic Embodied Sexuality: Puja Practice, Rituals to Honor the Sexual Body and Energy
There is a Tantric Tradition of having Puja performed on our own Bodies, a ritual to honor our bodies as sacred. In this class Marisa will teach some of the aspects of traditional Yoni Puja which she has received and studied from the Sri Vidya Tantric Lineage. We will then move to create Puja’s of our own design, each participant will create their very own original ritual using and being witnessed by others in the group.

The results can be amazing. Healing. Not just in sex but all of life as all of life is a process of opening to giving and receiving and an exploration of the senses.

Fabulous lovemaking takes time. Let's slow down. Let's drop deep into our bodies and into presence. Our world is so fast and our attentions can be so distracted, sometimes we need to be reminded to really focus and take each other in. Let's go next level in our lovemaking in our delight, in our potential for Love and feeling, nurturing ourselves and one another…

Mother's Day Breast + Chest Massage for Self Nourishment
In honor of Mother’s Day, let’s tend to ourselves. Many of us offer nourishment to the earth, our children, and our creative projects. In response to our violent world, we bring ferocity to our mothering and hold tremendous grief. Let’s bring some of that nourishing energy back to ourselves. As we care for the next generation, we must also create healing space for ourselves.

Ecstatic Embodied Sexuality: Spring Fling Edition- Four Hour Special
*Fringe, Brooklyn
*Exchange: $90
In honor of Spring, make time to slow down, drop in, and open to pleasure. What seeds are you planting for the season ahead? Feel what’s budding and blossoming in your life and in nature. Sense the potential for love on every level— love for ourselves, our partners, and our planet. In the regular two-hour workshop, we only have time to explore touch and consent. In this four-hour special, we can explore much more. We’ll dive into exercises that play with our energy, sensuality, and orgasmic breath.
Learning how to have amazing sex is a learned skill and can be taught through exercises and awarenesses. It is a practice.
The results can be amazing. Healing. Not just in sex but all of life as all of life is a process of opening to giving and receiving and an exploration of the senses.
Whether you want better sex with a long term partner or in the process of dating, or even how to have awesome hook ups, and most important, how to have Ecstatic sex with yourself. It all is the same.
When we say have better sex, have great sex. That could mean having more and varied orgasms. But probably not. (Have you ever had an energy orgasm? How about a Laughter Orgasm?!!) It is more about dropping in to your body. Playing with the senses, expanding Pleasure and the capacity to explore all the emotions and flavors that come with Pleasure, Joy and Love which include grief, longing and all of it.
In this two hour evening we open a Tasting sampler of exercises and practices. We will take a peek at some anatomy lessons. It is so helpful to understand the equipment and the equipment is our body and nobody teaches us except the internet and are we looking at helpful and accurate models and how do we make it useful to experience awesome sex?
We explore breath and presence, and energy and how to light ourselves up, how to kindle our own juiciness.
And we play with asking the huge question, “What do we want?” Do we really ask and listen to ourselves or do we just take what is handed to us?
We explore “Waking up the Hands,” learning to take in more pleasure through our hands as we touch. And break apart the ideas of giving and receiving and start to really understand what it is to “Take” pleasure.
This class is for everyone. Singles couples everyone.
Everything is clothes on, no actual sex takes place in the class. We may become sensual and Sexual feelings may arise in the course of the class. The class will create a Brave container where choice, consent and embodiment is practiced at every turn. Expanding Sexual Pleasure is about opening the edges where we close off and shut down. The process of expanding Pleasure may and can bring up grief, and uncomfortable feelings. It is part of the process. It is a practice and takes time. This is a great starting point and also a great practice space for those already exploring.

Spring Cleaning and Self Love through Yoni/Womb/Perineal Steaming
*Sliding Scale $25-40
*In Person at Tigerlily Holistic
A lecture demonstration of the basics of how to use Steaming for most issues, including fertility, menstruation regulation, menopause, tightness, ph imbalances, scar tissue, cysts and fibroids. Includes information on the history and culture of Steaming.
Through the lecture you will have the basics for many conditions to move forward into a regular home Steam Practice. Please note that it is best to work with a certified Steam Practitioner (like Marisa) but this lecture will greatly help you along your way. Marisa is thrilled to share simple four herb recipes you can make at home as well as the most inexpensive easy to stow away behind a couch seat.
“I LOVED the steam with you and the one I did at home the next night. It was both novel and healing for me to connect with my pelvis, belly and yoni in that way. I could immediately feel the improved flow of energy which I am sure will lead to improved health of those regions overall :) and the vision clearing is superb!
I also noticed that I felt so much more confident in a grounded, feminine, earthy way. Like it’s naturally a spiritual experience to live in this body, and that all is well in the world.
I really appreciate your way of approaching this work. I felt cared for and listened to, and that I could trust the depth of your expertise.” - Chelsey, Owner of Brooklyn Mindbody Collective in Brooklyn

Breathwork for Sexual Empowerment
*In Person at Fringe, Brooklyn
*Exchange: $50
Great sex is a trance state. We learn to stay in our bodies and let transportive waves of pleasure take us out into altered states. Breathwork is also a trance state, so it lends itself to the exploration of emotion, presence, and journey. We allow known and unknown sensations to arise, change and shift shape as they travel through us. Marisa has been exploring Breathwork as a tool for expanded sexuality. We dive in to our embodied “yes” and “no”-- the vibration of them in our body, and when they were not heard by ourselves and others. Through a supportive container, we express it all fully.
Also, the heights of pleasure and ecstatic states, and potential, vulnerable and emotional states of connection in Sex open the door to catharsis of various emotions. Sex itself is a catharsis. We may block the way to ecstatic states, to pleasure because we are blocking and afraid of the catharsis. Breathwork is a space to explore catharsis and create room and safety to explore the release of blocked energy and emotions which may being safety and freedom into the space of our sexuality.
Some benefits of Breathwork are:
Insights, clarity and awakened intuition
Balance in the nervous system
Less tendency to overreact
Deeper sense of presence
Marisa will open the circle with a meditation and statements of intention. We are invited to bring our guides, mentors, angels and supports. Breathwork is an active three part breath that drops us into the heart and body, and out of the mind. Marisa guides you into a safe space to be witnessed, held and supported as the breath makes room for oxygen to flood your system. This way of breathing encourages deeper nourishing and releasing, moving energy through the whole system on every level. The organs, the brain, lungs, heart, and skin get scrubbed, washed, and fed.
After the active Breathwork practice there is time to relax, lay with a quiet easy breath and Rest in Love. Marisa will offer Reiki to anyone who wishes to receive it.
