WATCH AMARA SPEAK ON SACRED SEXUALITY
In this interview, I share how Quodoushka awakens erotic intelligence, dissolves shame, and unites sexuality with spiritual aliveness—helping you cultivate healthy connection to innate sexual energies and feel deeply connected in your intimate life.
It's about remembering who you are in your body.
Q2 is the deepening.
Building on Q1's foundation, this advanced training brings your sexual awareness into relationship. Through shamanic exercises and ceremonies, you'll dissolve conditioning that keeps men and women disconnected. You'll gain practical tools to transform relationship frustrations, release intimacy blocks, and build genuine sexual confidence.
Where sexual liberation meets passionate connection.
Q1 prerequisite. Attend solo or with partner.
• Transform masculine/feminine misunderstanding into genuine connection
• Break patterns keeping relationships stuck in conflict
• Honor diverse gender expressions while addressing real challenges
• Convert sexual tension from conflict to aliveness
• Experience the joy of embodied intimacy and presence
• Communicate authentically about desires, fears, and boundaries
• Build relationships where both feel seen, respected, and desired
• Experience relating from your authentic sexual core
Q2 creates a space where real-world struggles transform into passionate, respectful connection—where liberation meets relationship in a dance of truth and desire.

"Dear Amara, I want to thank you for a wonderful transformational week. I've been facilitating for 30 years, and this was a truly non-ordinary experience for me. I was able to do my own work, which is no small thing for me. Above all, I want to thank you for the level of shame free, grounded trust you wove for everyone in the group. I have never experiences a space of such tender acceptance and wisdom for each person's unique experience of their bodies and their sexuality. .It was an honor to witness everyone in the group. Truly- the way your love and wisdom weaves a ceremony of self acceptance, and sexual re-knowing is masterful and truly magical. In blessings, gratitude and love. Samantha

Therapist, Healer
"I had no idea what to expect, and I purposely kept it that way. I wanted to go in unknowing and allow events and transformations to unfold. After years of personal work therapy and being a therapist and a healer, I had confidence that I will handle whatever came my way. And then the retreat started…
And everything I thought I knew about myself dissipated. And old beliefs, insecurities, stories I tell myself resurfaced. As days went by, there were moments of extreme discomfort, painful memories coming back, followed by periods of joy, bliss, clarity excitement and…New Hope. I am grateful to Shyena and staff creating a deeply secure, loving vortex where this journey was able to unfold. I will take tsome time to fully process and integrate, but the sexual energy itself is exciting to feel again, unpredictable and full of potential. Thank you, thank you, thank you. "

"A retreat center with land that enhances the experience. A ‘home’ with lots of space and land…the kiva room, an intimate setting…the couple’s honoring ceremony was very special, like no other Q I’ve ever attended. We were deeply affected. spontaneous and totally liberating. you could build a retreat with just couples celebrating."
ANDREAS
"In gratitude to great spirit,
This Q Anniversary retreat gave me an opportunity to play. Inspiration to gather community.
I sincerely thank Amara and her beautiful, playful team
- Amara for her mastery and playful leadership. S
- hyena for her happiness and her cowgirl buffalo woman dance extraordinaire.
- Michael for impeccable and competent knowledge and teaching
- Rudy for warm welcome and benevolence.
The container was strongly held to saying yes clearly, yes, now. My takeaways- the joy of being witnessed in my God(ess) array. The deep inner peace from a connection on a deep erotic level in open receptivity. Balance. Aho! Love, "Andreas Jumping Jaguar
Gary
Entrapreneor
"I’ve heard the statement for years, that you can’t love another until you love yourself. I never fully embraced and spent time with that statement. My belief was love is different for everyone and I do love maybe 2 to3 people. Well this training and the people in it has allowed me to see that what I believed of how everyone saw me, was just a story. I loved, but thought I was perceived as hard. Everyone here saw me as I was, not as I saw myself. A center of love, affection safety and strength. I woke up one morning as we sat in the space, just before it started, I saw the love everyone had for me and realized, like a lightening bolt, who I am. And I loved it, and I love me and I love others. So wonderful to feel that and to know the possibilities of spreading love out further."

Yes! You may attend Quodoushka 1 and 2 as a single or attend with a partner. For Quodoushka 3 and 4 you must attend with a partner.
Many people ask this question because they think, “oh, I can’t explore anything about my sexuality until I have a partner.”
I would say, please do not wait to have a partner to attend a Quodoushka!
It’s a common relationship mistake to think that our sexual sense of self comes from outside. The truth is, our life force energy is ours, and until we feel good, whole and healthy in our own skin, and learn to accept ourselves – we will always have trouble receiving pleasure from someone else. And there is so much to explore about ourselves sexually.
If you attend as a single, (even if you have a partner), you will untangle so many beliefs about sex, and get so clear about your own feelings that you will return to your everyday life with such an attractive glow about you that people will ask you what happened? (We hear this all the time.)
But most important, you will not only be blessed with a temporary glow, you will learn practical intimate communication skills that will enhance your relationships for a lifetime.
That’s why I say “Do not wait to attend a Quodoushka.” If you attend as a single now you’ll be in a much better place within your self to find, attract, or rekindle a current relationship.
Of course you can come with your partner, and if you choose, you can do all the exercises together to share an exquisite and profound healing space for your relationship. The Quodoushka experience is simply an amazing, intimate way to celebrate your union. You will learn ways to talk about and make clear sexual agreements around things most of us often mistakenly take for granted.
We’ve even had couples whom chose to come to Quodoushka to celebrate their honeymoon, and to recharge a ‘broken’ relationship.
If you think you already know what your partner likes and wants it’s more than likely not exactly so. All partners can benefit from learning more, especially about yourself first. There’s so much that happens in both QI and QII that will give you practical insights about how to shift habits and patterns that keep you stuck in doing the same things over and over in your intimate life.
While we cannot guarantee Quodoushka will fix every issue in your relationship, we can say you will receive the tools to create enduring and more fulfilling sexual intimacy.
It’s often the case that one partner wants to go and one is not ready. I always say, if that’s the case, one of you should go, make clear agreements, and then share what you’ve learned with your beloved when you return. If you need help doing this, our staff is here to help you before and after the Q.
Many times when one partner goes, later, when they’ve seen the positive changes, the other partner wants to attend! Then you can have one go as a single, or you can both come to experience the Quodoushka together.
Yes! Quodoushka celebrates the full gender spectrum.
Quodoushka celebrates wherever you are across the gender spectrum. When we refer to ‘man’, it means ’the masculine’ and ‘woman’ means ’the feminine’. Referring to ‘man’ and ‘woman’ makes it easier to get the teachings across by keeping it simple. Quodoushka fully embraces LGBTQ. The teachings and practices shared in this workshop are beneficial to all gender preferences.
Quodoushka is open to all sexual orientations. We honor and teach that we all have a choice about what kind of relationship we could best learn and grow from. It’s one of the most accepting and loving spaces you will find to celebrate, share and express who you truly are.
If you have questions or concerns about how you would like to participate, our staff is ready to help you before, during, and after the Q.
We take great care to create a sexually safe environment, and we fully advocate and practice safe sexual practices.
This is the next big question. First of all, in all Quodoushka workshops there is never anything that you must do, it is all voluntary. There’s so many things in our sexuality that we do because other people told us to, or because other people wanted something. Sometimes we were not sure what we wanted, and sometimes we didn’t know how to say no and maybe regretted that. All these sorts of things happen in our intimate life.
That’s why one of the focuses in the Q1 is getting to YOUR OWN “YES! This is what I want.” And, about getting clear about YOUR OWN “NO. This is not what I want.”The Q1 experience is about learning to feel, clarify and express what we want in our intimate life. And it’s a chance to practice saying it.
This is a round about way of saying that there will never be anything in a Quodoushka workshop that you need to do if you don’t want to. You will always have the choice every step of the way. So with nudity, you may practice everything clothed, or you may choose to do the exercises without clothing. That’s entirely up to you. I will say that the vast majority of people who come to Quodoushka experience a level of safety and respect with a group they’ve never felt in their lives. So, if you’re nervous about that, please don’t worry, a lot of other people are too. The most important thing is that Quodoushka is a safe place to practice making and expressing your own sexual agreements.
I think the hidden question is, and perhaps the question people want to ask but often shy away from, is about the other people. They wonder if there will be sexual advances, or if there will be sexually explicit things going on.
Firstly, our trained staff speaks directly to every person who attends Quodoushka to determine whether they are ready to attend upon registration and there are no sexually explicit exercises in Q1 or Q2. We do have frank discussions about sexuality, orgasm and sexual anatomy, and there are exercises that involve touch. We encourage an atmosphere where it is okay to talk about, feel and express orgasmic energy, and each person is at choice with how they make agreements and do each exercise.
First, every exercise is demonstrated, then you practice the exercise with a partner, and then we gather to discuss what we learned. Some exercises are solo, some are with a partner, and some we do together as a group.
Revealing these once-secret teachings for the first time, Quodoushka explains the physical, energetic, and sexual qualities of the nine male and female sexual anatomy types such as Coyote Man or Buffalo Woman and how to identify and best please each type as well as take pride in your own unique sexual anatomy. LGBTQ identify with your unique sexual anatomy in addition to the energy of that anatomy type, and how that translates in your sexual relating.
Quodoushka also describing the nine variations of orgasmic expression from avalanche to forest fire and provides exercises for greater sexual pleasure and increased orgasmic intensity, including the Chakra Merging exercise, a method for reaching a full-body orgasm through breathwork.
Qudoushka 1 is 4-day sacred sexuality workshop and sexual healing retreat designed to help you return to your natural innocence, release shame, and rebuild a healthy relationship with your sexual energy. The special Ceremonial Q1 is an extended 5 day retreat. * DuringThe 5 Day Ceremonial Retreat, there will be more time for exercises, practices and integration in nature.
While we do not publish a rigid schedule (each teacher weaves the teachings in their own way), every Q1 includes the essential foundations of the Quodoushka path.
Qudoushka 1 Is About Returning to Source
Q1 is a powerful reset.
It helps you:
- Release guilt, blame, and shame around sexuality
- Heal old stories about sex and intimacy
- Reclaim your sexual energy as natural, sacred, and life‑affirming
- Increase your capacity for pleasure and orgasmic aliveness
- Create a healthy, fresh start in relationships
This foundational training establishes how to:
- Ask clearly for what you want in intimacy
- Set and honor boundaries
- Make conscious sexual agreements
- Communicate desires without manipulation or fear
- Take responsibility for your emotional triggers in relationship
The General Flow of the Q1 Retreat
Opening Day
We begin with introductions, the history of the Quodoushka teachings, and teachings on conscious relationship choices. Participants set clear personal intentions and we establish group agreements around safety, confidentiality, and respect. Creating a safe container is essential in any sacred sexuality training.
Day Two
Morning teachings focus on balancing sexual energy, opening the senses, and understanding the body’s energy centers (chakras). Through guided experiential exercises, participants begin to feel how sexual energy moves in the body.
The afternoon expands awareness of what sexual energy truly is — and what it is not. Many people arrive with confusion shaped by culture, religion, or past experiences. Q1 provides clarity.
Evening includes shamanic healing practices designed to clear energetic blocks that limit pleasure and emotional connection.
Day Three
This day focuses deeply on emotional awareness and healing. You learn why intimacy can trigger childish reactions, fear, or withdrawal — and how to respond differently.
A powerful shamanic ceremony helps lift layers of sexual shame and guilt, allowing a return to innocence and self-acceptance.
Evening practices explore different aspects of your lover archetype, helping you feel worthy of pleasure and confident in your sensual expression.
Day Four (and Five)
Participants learn about different levels and types of orgasm and how orgasmic energy can be expanded beyond conventional understanding.
There is ample time for reflection, sharing, and integration — including time in nature to journal, process, and rewrite your story around sexuality and relationships.
The retreat closes with grounding ceremonies to seal your growth and prepare you to bring this renewed vitality home.
Qudoushka 2 is an advanced sacred sexuality training that deepens the healing, embodiment, and shamanic practices introduced in Q1. You may attend solo, or with your partner. Q1 is a pre-requsite.
Q2 goes beyond releasing shame — it encodes higher states of orgasmic pleasure and conscious intimacy through profound self-acceptance, self-awareness, and self-love.
