Come and join me in this online course to explore the magic of
female sexuality and pleasure.
27th January and 24th February
6 – 8pm GMT on Zoom

Part 1.
We will look at
– debunking some of the myths around female sexual anatomy and pleasure
– what’s normal? The beautiful variation of the vulva
–  we will explore an accurate map of women’s sexual anatomy
–  an exploration of women’s anatomy of arousal including female ejaculation
– the importance of listening to your body and a sacred practice to facilitate that
– time for Q and A

Though this course is more informational than experiential, we will include some movement and will check in with the body as we go. And I will include a sacred practice to support a deeper listening to your body that you can do between sessions. I have left a month inbetween sessions so that (if you desire) you can explore some of what we covered in your own time. Pleasure takes so many forms in our lives and our eros energy is not confined to sex. It is your life force energy. So you will be invited to court pleasure in your life in a way that feels like a YES in your body. I will faciliate an enquiry about what your particular pleasure promise might look like as a part of the session. We are all unique so there is no way of getting it wrong. And no need for anyone else to even know what your personal pleasure promise is, unless you want them to.

The Pleasure Promise is about you, for you and is to nourish you!
What a beautiful way to start the year.

Then we will come back together in February explore further…

Part 2
Will focus on
– Different types of orgasm
– the uterus and women’s sexual cycles
– the cervix as a pleasure organ
– the vagus nerve and it’s connection to sexual pleasure, trauma and a healthy nervous system
– anal pleasure
– time for Q and A and sharing
– Closing circle

The rEVOLution starts with your own body.
We have the power to remember, reclaim and reconnect with our own abundance and pleasure. So if you would like to make a commitment to yourself and your pleasure and would like a group container to support that then join us!
All women of all ages and all sexual orientations are welcome.
There will be no nudity on this course and you will be actively encouraged to check in with yourself throughout and honour your own pace. The invitation is to bring your curiosity and explore. Many women feel very in the dark about their sexuality and studies have shown that coming together in a group to debunk the myths and open up the conversation around sex, can help women to grow in confidence around their own body, desires and unique sexual self.
Knoweldge is power and female sexuality is still hugely misunderstood and taboo. It wasn’t until 2005 that the full anatomy of the clitoris came into the public domain (Thankyou Dr Helen O’Connell)! And sex education is still on the whole woefully inadequate. So as adults we have to find out all the information we were never told. I have been on that journey actively now for 20 years and I am still learning…but I have lots to share with you! No matter where you are in relationship to your sexuality you are welcome to join us.

I am so passionate about this information being available to all that the class will be donation based.

Suggested donation is £40 but you can give as much or as little as you can afford.

If you cannot afford to donate, all I ask is that you show up with your energy and commitment to the material and help us co-create a temple to explore the mystery and joy of women’s anatomy of arousal and pleasure.

Please invite any women that you know who you feel may benefit from this.

To sign up just click this link to be taking to my booking site.

If you have any questions feel free to email me info@carlymountain.com.
I look forward to seeing you there!
Carly

]]> “And the soul, if she is to know herself
must look into the soul and find
what kind of beast is hiding…” – Kim Moore

A residential retreat at Tyddyn Retreat in Mid Wales. Come dive into poetry, movement, sharing, swimming, dancing, resting, breathing and being. Be the lioness that lazes, the wolf that howls, the bee that dances, the badger that hides, the bird that flies….or something else entirely!?

This is an invitation to enter a process of rewilding from the inside, of allowing our animal body to express, our broken voices to speak and to step out of time and to remember…who I am when I am not answering to my name?

The Wild Soul Retreat is for you if…

– You are someone who feels a pull towards a more intimate connection with your own body and aliveness
– You are often looking after others and really need some space to reconnect to yourself
– You often get tired and depleted in winter and you want a retreat to help nourish you at that time of year
– You enjoy the company of other women and would love a female only held space to spend a few days in
– You are a bit afraid of women only groups and would like the chance to turn towards that fear and see what is possible in women only groups that you have not yet experienced
– You have done lots of soulful work and want to go deeper
-You have done very little soulful work, but would like to do some and have never made the time
– You love nature, good food, swimming, music, movement, time to reflect
– You want to begin/continue to tap into your wild, feminine nature and liberate your own unique expression
– You have always wanted to do Butterfly but cannot travel to Sheffield each month, but could spare 4 days for a retreat
– You have previously done Butterfly and want to continue with the work in a residential space
– You would like to start 2022 in a meanigful way in the company of others
– You crave a space to Remember. Reclaim and Reconnect.Ultimately, this is the chance to step outside of normal life and ask the question,
“Who am I if I don’t have to answer to my name for 4 days? Who am I if I stop having to achieve anything? Who am I if I move in a way I have never moved before? If I sound in a way that I didn’t know I sounded? If I open to what is here? If I make space for me to just be?”.

My intention is to provide a space to become more intimate with yourself, to dive into your depths in the company of a women’s community, away from it all and back into the arms of nature.

If all is welcome, what arrives?

About the Space

The retreat is held in the magical Tyddyn Retreat, high in the Cambrian Mountains – the most unspoilt and wild landscapes in Wales. Stunningly converted stone barns – filled with light and natural materials, a stream running through the landscape, a stone circle, a pond to have a dip in and a beautiful practice space. Our chef is my good friend, Kirsty who is a culinary Goddess and a valuable presence on any retreat. Tyddyn is the perfect place to rewild and nourish your soul.

With covid it feels like such a long time since we could come together in community in this way. This makes this retreat all the more special. Places are limited to 10. Contact info@carlymountain.com to book.

£635 for 3 nights accomdation, food and all sessions. Payment plans are available on request. There are just two spaces remaining.

Your place in the circle is waiting.

Love Carly

Classes run Tuesdays 6-7pm and Fridays 8.30-9.30am and can be booked online.

I realise that many people have been hit hard financially at this time and that there are many online yoga offerings for free online just now. But teaching classes is my main source of income and unfortunately I can’t afford to offer all my sessions free of charge. However, if you have no income and would like to join please contact me and if I can offer assistance then I will.

Sending love to all in these rapidly changing and challenging times.

JOUISSANCE: a form of women’s pleasure or sexual rapture that combines mental, physical and spiritual aspects of female experience, bordering on mystical communion. Jouissance can be described as the source of a woman’s creative power that delights in being limitless. 

On Monday 20th May I will be launching my first poetry pamphlet. To mark this, I would be delighted if you would join me for an intimate sharing of some of the poems from the book woven into an experiential talk about poetry, female creativity and my own personal journey. 

Jouissance is a selection of poetry that I have written over the past 6 years. It formed alongside the Butterfly work which was a part of my own Inanna journey. So for anyone thinking about signing up for Butterfly next year this evening would be a good chance to get to know more about me and the roots of the work.

We live in a world where the feminine has been in exile within our collective psyche and that manifests itself in our wider societal structure and ourselves. Even our language is based in masculine structures and yet poetry can take us beyond the structure of words to the heart of the matter. I am passionate about poetry’s ability to connect, heal and awaken us to what needs to be heard. We live in a world severely lacking in words that describe and recognise the female experience. Though there is so much more writing and poetry out there which gives voice to the feminine, I am craving more and feel that there is certainly room for more. So, this work is a part of my endeavour to answer my own prayer and it is my hope that my words may support others who are also walking this path.

Honouring the feminine is a huge part of my path. But I recognise that this is not just a personal endeavour but a collective one. We cannot do it alone with one big gesture, but through many small but courageous gestures from many people. For this reason, this event will also be the launch of a crowdfunder so that if you feel inspired to you can help give this work flight. The crowdfunder will go live on 20th May, there you will find various offerings including copies of the book in exchange for your donation. I am hoping that through your support I can send at least 10 free copies of the book out to others holding circles, scattering the seeds of poetry on the wind.

This FREE launch event will be held at Jo and Ben’s lovely new yoga space Mudra, 151 Sellers Wheel, Sheffield S1 2NU. Though there is no charge to attend I do ask that you book in advance. So if you feel inspired to join me you can reserve your space online via the Mudra website here. Once on the site, go to EVENTS (via the top left menu on laptop or top right dropdown on mobile) and enter your details to reserve you place. I hope to see you there and feel free to share with your friends. Thank you for your support. 

With love and gratitude, 
Carly
