Erotic Elders - 90/2000’s pop up dance workshop
90’s–2000’s Pop Queens: A 90-Minute Embodied Dance Pop-Up
This 90-minute pop-up workshop is a full-body love letter to the 90’s and 2000’s—the eras of Billboard Top 100 anthems, unapologetic pop queens, and the women who raised us through their voices, lyrics, and power. We’ll move, sweat, sing, and feel our way through the soundtracks that shaped our confidence, heartbreaks, friendships, and coming-of-age moments.
6th Annual Galentines
Galentine’s at Thrive
A Night of Sisterhood, Sensuality & Soul Connection
Grab your bestie, your sister, your chosen family, or that woman you’ve been meaning to spend more time with—Galentine’s at Thrive Embodied Arts is a love letter to friendship, embodiment, and celebrating the women who hold us.
This is not a “sit and sip” kind of night.
This is a feel-it-in-your-body, laugh-until-your-face-hurts, heart-open kind of gathering.
And yes—of course there will be pole dancing.
Exchange Per Person $25- make sure your bestie signs up
Persephone’s Descent - Dark Goddess Devotion
Persephone’s Descent
Dark Goddess Devotion for Sexual Healing & Liberation
Saturday 2/14 | 1–4 PM
Persephone’s Descent is a 3-hour immersive ritual-workshop devoted to sexual healing, reclamation, and liberation through the lens of the Dark Goddess. Drawing from the myth of Persephone—her descent, initiation, and return—we journey into the underworld of the body to meet what has been buried, silenced, or exiled, and to alchemize it into embodied power.
This is a ceremonial space for devotion, shadow work, and somatic exploration. Through guided ritual, sensual embodiment practices, breath, movement, and intentional witnessing, you will be invited to soften into your depth, tend to sexual wounds with reverence, and reconnect to your innate erotic life force—on your own terms.
This workshop is for those ready to release shame, reclaim sovereignty over their sexuality, and honor the cyclical nature of desire, grief, pleasure, and rebirth. You are not here to be fixed—you are here to remember.
Men’s Circle
Men’s Circle at Thrive
An Open Space to Breathe, Move & Connect
Thursday, 2/19 | 6:30–7:45 PM
Sliding Scale: $25–$50
This is the first open Men’s Circle at Thrive, and it’s intentionally simple.
Not a place to fix yourself.
Not a place to perform strength or success.
Not a place to have the right words.
This is a place to breathe, to move, and to connect—to yourself and to other men—without hierarchy, comparison, or expectation.
You don’t need to show up polished, confident, or certain.
All that’s required is a curious heart.
The Pulse Between - Annual Erotic Couples Class
The Pulse Between
Awakening Erotic Vitality, Play & Tantric Energetics in Relationship
Saturday 2/21 | 5:30–7:30 PM
6 Couples Maximum
When was the last time you and your partner slowed down enough to feel each other—without distractions, to-do lists, or roles pulling you apart?
The Pulse Between is a 2-hour immersive couples experience designed to awaken erotic vitality, deepen connection, and reintroduce play as a living force in your relationship. This is not about fixing or changing - it’s about remembering what’s possible when two living breathing bodies and nervous systems meet with presence, curiosity, and intention.
Consider this a date night that moves beyond dinner and drinks—into the realm of embodied connection.
What if date night went beyond scheduled sex, drinks and a seated meal together?
This is not about “spicing things up” for the sake of turn-on.
It’s about tuning in - to yourself, to your partner, and to the subtle pulse that exists between you.
Grief, Grounding & Gratitude Circle
Grief is one of the most natural human responses we have—and one of the most misunderstood.
As a society, we tend to treat grief as something to get through quickly, manage quietly, or turn into a lesson. We reward “being strong,” “staying busy,” and “moving on,” often without realizing that these are ways of bypassing the very thing asking to be felt. Grief becomes something we apologize for, hide, or minimize—especially when it doesn’t have a neat reason or timeline.
But grief is not a problem to solve.
It is a signal of love, attachment, change, and meaning.
Grief can show up as sadness, yes—but also as anger, numbness, exhaustion, anxiety, irritability, tightness in the chest, or a sense of disorientation. When it isn’t given space, it doesn’t disappear; it simply moves into the body, the nervous system, and our relationships.
There is nothing shameful about grief.
It doesn’t mean you’re weak, broken, or failing at life.
Grief means something mattered.
Someone mattered.
A version of you mattered.
When we allow grief to be felt—gently, safely, and without pressure to perform—it often softens on its own. Not because it’s gone, but because it’s finally been acknowledged.

Group Reading with Psychic Medium Laura Cifaldi
Laura is back! Saturday December 6th at 1 pm
About Laura
“I am a psychic medium and have been able to connect with spirits since the age of four. As a young child, I remember connecting with deceased family members and Angels. At the time, I didn’t realize I had a gift or that what I was experiencing was out of the ordinary.Growing up as a medium kept me grounded and gave me a whole new perspective on life. Also, having a father in Law Enforcement, helped me to discover that I had a “detective” aspect to my gift.In recent years, I started doing readings on close family and friends. It wasn’t until a few years ago, that I found my true purpose in life was to help those that couldn’t help themselves. I started working on missing person cases, homicides, cold cases, etc. I am also able to connect with those that are in comas or vegetative states. This I found useful with a hit and run case that I was successful in helping to solve.I have all of the psychicsenses; clairvoyant,clairaudience,clairsentient, clairtangency, clairgustance, channeling, telepathy.I am extremely empathic and experience everything in first person, as well as, a medical intuitive.My readings are very fulfilling, dramatic at times, emotional and honest.I really love what I do and love that I can help people connect and find the peace and the answers they need.”

Wild Within “Sacred Rebels” - 6 week Awakening
Unleash your body’s wisdom. Reclaim your untamed truth.
🖤 You were never meant to play small.
You were not made to be polite, palatable, or pleasing.
You were made to feel deeply, move freely, and lead wildly.
There’s a voice in you that’s been silenced.
A pulse you’ve learned to ignore.
A fire in your hips, your heart, your howl —
that is ready to be set loose.
This is your invitation to rise. To remember.
To return to the altar of your own wild body.
🔥 This is not just a movement class.
This is a ritual. A rebellion. A reclamation.
