Betty’s Barbell and Magic Wand will be available for your use during the workshop. You are welcome to purchase the wand if you wish. A special link to purchase the barbell at a discount will be provided after the workshop.
I will host an online meet-and-greet before the workshop so we can connect and get to know one another, followed by a virtual check-in a few weeks after the workshop to support integration and reflection.
The exact location will be shared prior to the workshop and is 15 minutes from the airport. Taxis, Uber, and Lyft are available for your use. You may stay on site in a beautiful, secluded home with 5 bedrooms, each with a king or queen bed and an en-suite bathroom. Breakfast is included.
You are welcome to arrive on Friday, May 22nd, after 3 pm (Central Time) for an additional cost of $125. Checkout is on Monday, May 25th, at 10 am CST.
“Adding Friday gives you time to arrive, ground, and begin connecting with yourself and the group before the full retreat begins.”
Light snacks, tea and water infused with sliced oranges will be provided during the workshop. Please let me know if you have any dietary limitations. You are on your own for dinner. You’re welcome to cook at the house, order in, or explore downtown, where several restaurants are located.
Once the rooms are full, registration will be closed.
Reserve your spot today! Only 5 rooms are available.

What’s included and what will we do?
This retreat is for women and is a space for healing, connection, and embodied self- awareness. We create a safe and compassionate space, sit in the nude in a circle, share our stories, and get to know our bodies through education and guidance. “Yes, in the nude.”
“I felt the fear for no more than 5 minutes. After that, it completely disappeared. We just saw each other as women.”
A negative body image is so common among women in our society. We don’t see a range of real body types in television, movies, or media. Nudity in the Bodysex circle allows us to see a range of normal bodies. When we can spend time in our bodies without clothing, we literally become more comfortable in our own skin. I have witnessed this each of the four times I have been present at a Bodysex Retreat. I see women leave more confident and empowered. It can be so liberating.
We gather together and take a closer look at the pleasure anatomy of our vulva, learning what we didn’t learn in sex education, with schoolgirl curiosity, gentleness, and joy. Seeing the beauty and uniqueness of every vulva is healing. We are like snowflakes. No two are alike, and that is beautiful.
We will learn and practice Betty’s Rock ‘n Roll method and explore her other techniques using Betty’s vaginal barbell and the Magic Wand. Sharing this experience creates a safe, supportive, and accepting environment.

"Betty left the planet before I got to meet her. I was so intrigued by the contagious joy she and Carlin Ross shared while educating women on owning their sexuality. Her love for her body and independent orgasm spoke to my core. "
