Solo and Dual Cultivation in
Taoist Sexual Alchemy
A 2-Day Experiential Workshop
Sexual energy is one of the most powerful life forces we possess. In Taoist traditions, it has long been cultivated as medicine—for healing, vitality, emotional balance, and spiritual development—rather than spent or suppressed.
This two-day workshop offers a grounded, respectful, and non-sexualized introduction to Taoist Healing Love practices, guiding participants through both solo cultivation and introductory dual cultivation in a safe, structured environment.
This work is suitable for mature adults, seekers, body-based practitioners, and those interested in conscious intimacy, aging with vitality, and energetic sovereignty.
Â
Day 1 – Solo Cultivation: Healing Love Foundations
Saturday, February 21, 2026
10am - 5pm
Saturday focuses on solo cultivation, the essential foundation of all Taoist sexual alchemy.
Participants learn how to work with their own sexual energy safely, consciously, and independently.
You will explore how to:
- Activate sexual energy in a balanced, regulated way
- Circulate and transform sexual energy through the body
- Stabilize the nervous system during arousal
- Store vitality for health, longevity, and emotional clarity
- Maintain energetic sovereignty
 Practices are taught in a fully clothed, non-sexual context, with clear instruction for both men and women.
Taoist methods traditionally used for healing in partnered contexts are introduced as solo practices to
build confidence and internal stability.

Day 2 – Dual Cultivation: Conscious Partnered Practice

resonance, and conscious exchange.

You will be guided through:
- Seated partnered meditations to sense shared energetic fields
