A guided, women-only retreat for those curious about exploring attraction, intimacy and connection with other women at your own pace, in a safe, structured and consent-led environment.
Thrive, in partnership with Sex & Relationship Coach, Carla Crivaro, will be holding a weekend retreat to enable you to explore your sexuality in a brave and empowering space.
This retreat isn’t just a ‘fun’ event, we will be dealing with identity, curiosity, vulnerability, relationships, boundaries and consent.
You are in full control of your experience. Everything is invitation-based.
You choose what you engage in, at your own pace.
* No expectation of sexual activity
* Full autonomy at all times
* Consent and boundaries are central
* Facilitated environment (not a free-for-all)
​
Who this is for:
* Women curious but unsure
* Women with some experience wanting deeper exploration
* Women wanting a safe, guided environment​​
The Venue
Nestled in the countryside on the borders of Lancashire, North Yorkshire and West Yorkshire, the venue offers the perfect balance of peaceful seclusion and easy accessibility. Surrounded by rolling landscapes and nature, yet just a short drive from vibrant market towns and excellent transport links, it provides an ideal setting to unwind, reconnect and fully immerse yourself in the retreat experience.​
