What Women have said about Jade Moon Retreats

"Jade Moon was one of the most exquisitely beautiful, deeply powerful and transformational workshops I have ever had the honor to experience. A mystical, magical blend of deep sacred ceremony, initiation and joyous celebration of the Feminine and powerful healing."
- Elmara Grace Age 33 Gold Coast Australia

“Jade Moon has gifted me my juicy femininity. These teachings have unlocked my fears that hold me back from living my life as a woman, as a mother, a lover. Jade Moon gave me a deep understanding of the millions of things that makes up being a woman- and the tools I need to maintain my youth, beauty and vibrancy... all shared in the most moving way.... My connection with my sisters was truly profound them for welcoming me as a young novice sister into the fold.”
- Helen Heatly Age 40 Auckland New Zealand

"I have never experienced anything so powerfully beautiful and healing. Being with sisters in this way, honoring each other’s beauty and sexiness touches a place deep inside, a place of ancient knowing. It was so healing to allow myself to be vulnerable and allow my sexuality to express itself in front of other women who were not only supporting me, but who were doing the same thing. This workshop not only reconnected me to my femininity but also allowed me to reconnect to THE feminine, to ALL of femininity."
- Vanessa Rickard Age 23 Phoenix Arizona

NEW Testimonial: Woman’s Sexuality Workshop USA 2007
All of the women at the Woman’s Sexuality workshop collectively created a very safe place for me to sort out live time confusions and blockages of energy I had around sex.  I had life changing shifts in my universe on two levels.  One was an education about a woman’s anatomy and the nature of orgasms.   Another was the lifting of blockages of sexual energies in my body.
 
I have never felt safe discussing sex with other women, so my only glimpse into the sex life of another woman was through what various men had told me.  I was always suspect of this source because a man can only report to me from a man’s vantage point.  One area that this caused confusion for me was in the area of organisms.  Having never openly discussed this subject with any other women, I was convinced that I was not multi-orgasmic which, in turn, led me to believe there may be something wrong with my physical structure.  But I had nothing to compare to, since I have never openly discussed this with a woman, either. I think this confusion in and of itself caused blockages in sexual energy in my body. I had the misconception that there is only one type of orgasm and all the other sensations I felt were just that….wonderful, incidental sensations. At the Q, I received a rather in depth education on the wide variety of women’s sexual body types and how each body type experiences orgasm differently.  I also received an education on the wide variety of types of orgasms every women is capable of having.  Consequently, I came to realize that I am indeed multi-orgasmic. What a very liberating realization this was for me!  Not only that, but I learned how to become even more multi-orgasmic.  And even better yet, I learned that orgasms promote physical health, so any “societal taboos” I was still caring around about orgasms fell away.
 
I think it’s a sad commentary on the sex education in western society that a woman 52 years old is only now learning such very basic lessons about her body and her sexuality that should have been taught at puberty.  It’s especially sad to me when I realized mine is a very common story.
 
On another level, I had allowed a childhood incident and a rocky 18 year marriage to create additional blockages of sexual energies in my body. I had long since emotionally recovered from these incidents, forgiven the parties involved, and created new relationships with them.  But I had always suspected that I still had resulting blockages of energy in my physical body.   Taking part in the Q helped me to open those blockages.  
 
Just as when a person eats Big Macs everyday of his life for 50 years, complete healing from the ill effects is not going happen over night, I think its going to take some time for completely healing my physical body of sexual blockages, but I started that healing in a very big way at the workshop and came away with very useful exercises to continue the healing on my own.
 
I would encourage all the women of the world to experience this workshop as early in their adult life as possible.
- Sally
