How to Work with Me in 2026...

Quick notes: If you missed last week’s call on how to hold space and power as a facilitator, you can access the recording here.

On Monday, I’ll be co-hosting a casual Q&A about the Fundamentals of Embodied Facilitation training. It's 10am PDT. Find out more
here.


Hi Reader,

After a few months of winter doldrums, things have been picking up with a quickness over here. How is it equinox already??

In February, I taught a sold-out course at the Esalen Institute. The Wheel of Consent trainings are being booked out for the rest of the 2026, which is thrilling. I’m in the middle of revamping my entire website to more accurately reflect how this work has evolved over the past 8+ years since the last overhaul (the web design part is frankly, tedious, but the website is quite exciting. I'm looking forward to showing you in a few weeks.)

There’s even a bit of progress with writing the next book! I’ve been outwardly quiet, but I've been a very busy bee over here.

That said, spring is here and it is time for an overview of what's happening! If you are looking at doing some work with me this year, I hope this helps with planning and scheming. 😛

Be sure to check the questions at the bottom of this message for a sneak peek of new offers that are coming in the summer and fall (I’m pretty excited about it!)

Here’s what’s on for 2026 so far:

If you want Personal Development...

💖 The Good Girl Recovery Program

Starts June 23
Online
My signature, year-long group coaching program for women and people socialized as girls. Join us to unlearn “good girl” conditioning, reconnect with desire, boundaries, and authentic expression and build a foundation of unshakeable self-trust. If you want space to practice new skills and ways of being with guidance, support and community, get on the waitlist to be the first to know when the doors open.

🌊 Lessons In Liberation: Power, Surrender and Choice

With Betty Martin at the Esalen Institute
July 27-31

In this experiential workshop, we’ll explore power and surrender as embodied states, not just ideas. Using the Wheel of Consent® as our foundation, we’ll uncover how these dynamics show up in our desires, boundaries, and interactions. Through guided exercises, movement, and deep noticing, you’ll gain tools to navigate these energies with clarity and confidence — in erotic and everyday contexts. Limited to 30 people.

🌳 Like A Pro: Wheel of Consent for Professionals

In-person
A 5-day training that brings the transformative practice of the Wheel of Consent to professionals working with topics of consent, boundaries, relational intimacy, body sovereignty, trauma recovery, sexuality, communication, and touch.

If you want to hang out...

My conference and festival schedule is still developing for this year and next. If you have an event you’d like me to teach at, hit reply and let’s talk!


SoulPlay

I’m delighted to be teaching at the Soul Play Festival again June 4-7. This is a multi-day gathering focused on heart-opening connection, personal expansion and play. From movement sessions that free the body to speak its truth, to introspective workshops that dive into emotional landscapes, SoulPlay offers multiple avenues for self-exploration and expression. We push up against old paradigms to bring forth a new world that supports more expression, includes marginalized identities, and promotes love and connection.

❓Recent Questions

A couple that have come in recently...

What else is happening this year?

I’ll be working on the Second Book, revamping my 1:1 coaching offerings to be more accessible, and starting to offer private workshops for couples and groups (something I’ve wanted to do forever!) Stay tuned for announcements about all of these.

What’s happening with the 4-week online courses?

Great question! I will probably offer one or two of these in the second half of this year, but which ones, and what dates are yet to be determined. If you are eager for one of these particular topics, hit reply and let me know. 🙂

  • Embodied Boundary Skills
  • Write Your Erotic Handbook
  • What You Really Really Want
  • Asking For It

👼 A Humble Request…

If you know of someone who might be interested in one of these events, please be sure to forward this email along to them. Social media has become less reliable in getting the word out, and I appreciate these messages being shared with others. Thank you! 🙏

(And if you received this message because someone forwarded it to you, you can join my mailing list here to not miss a thing!)


That’s all for today. If you're curious about facilitation skills, please consider joining me for the Embodied Facilitation Q&A session on Monday.

Either way, I hope that we’ll see each other at some point this year.

Warmly,
Marcia
