The Flavors of the Feminine™
Teacher & Practitioner Training

April 8-11, 2025  |  Melbourne, Australia

Introducing our Flavors of the Feminine™
In-Person Teacher and Practitioner Training!

 

For the first time, Michaela will reveal the methodology, exercise design, and workshop flow she has created for transformative Flavor Retreats all over the world.

In this training, you will learn how to facilitate in-depth explorations with the “55 Flavors of the Feminine” practice deck as a means of enlivening, expanding and leading your own Flavor Gatherings, so you can bring this deep, playful and engaging feminine embodiment work to the women of your community.

Unlock the potential of the “55 Flavors of the Feminine” practice card deck for dynamic and engaging group teaching and learn directly from Michaela how to employ her best methods with a specially crafted curriculum of feminine embodiment practices.

Flavors of the Feminine™ is Michaela’s most recent creation within an original body of work that draws from her decades of experience teaching women’s groups, her extensive 30k+ hours of counseling practice, and is rooted in her early training in a Kashmiri Shakta tradition of which she is now the lineage holder.

Flavors of the Feminine™ uses potent embodiment practices, specially designed flavor embodiment exercises, and sacred rituals created by Michaela for her own immersions and retreats. The training is designed to provide you with a transformational immersion into this body of work, both as a participant and as a teacher.

This first of its kind in-person training offers new in-depth experiential engagement and enables you to teach this material, either freestanding – as a weekly or monthly circle – or as an adjunct to other modalities, including The Wild Woman’s Circle™ and The Non-Linear Movement Method® teacher trainings.

The training provides you with the turn-key blueprint for an entire Flavors of the Feminine™ series, including in-depth training on how to create a safe container for deep practice and business insight gleaned from 20+ years of teaching.

Learning this potent set of tools will enable you to powerfully explore the realms of embodied feminine flavors. This material serves as a means to radically deepen your personal embodiment and understanding of traversing and immersing into the feminine realms, as well as furnish you with the tools to expertly guide others.

While this program is designed as a teacher training, it can also be taken to deepen your own personal practice and gain deeper experiential understanding of Michaela’s body of work. The training is designed to offer you an immersive practice experience which will allow you to embody the flavors for yourself and as such teach them effectively. You will receive live instruction from Michaela and Steve, immersive class experiences, in-depth lectures, teaching scripts, and more.

You will learn how to create a strong container in which the nervous system of each participant can relax into the exploration of feminine embodiment, inspiring full bodily expression, deepening relationship to pleasure and intimacy, and effectively counteract stress and trauma in the body.

This brand new Flavors of the Feminine™ training is taught as a 4-day live interactive experience and premieres in Melbourne. You can find detailed timing and descriptions below.

What are “The Flavors of the Feminine”?

 

Within each of us lies a rich multitude of expressions. Like spices in cooking, embodied flavors spice up our life – as increased capacity of expression, as remedy for feeling stuck or stunted and as the variety that creates and renews erotic friction and play.

Unfortunately with the demands of our busy lives, these expressions often remain out of reach. We find ourselves stressed, disembodied and stuck in a rut, unable to access the expansive abundance within. When we know how to unlock this array of flavors we can begin to free our limitless potential.

As you understand the role of different flavors within your life and relationships you can use flavors as a remedy for feeling stuck or stunted and as the variety that creates and renews erotic friction and play.

You can practice how to merge with different flavors, how to embody flavors as a means of empowerment – from the dark erotic to unrestrained bliss, from carefree play to the realms of power and magic and into the healing aspects of flavor remedies.

Michaela created the “55 Flavors of the Feminine Oracle and Practice Deck” as an immersive teaching and practice tool. The cards encourage engagement with 5 Flavor Families spanning a vast variety of expressions, offering a playful and enlivening way to deepen your own flavor, gather inspiration, resonate with lesser known expressions and utilize the healing powers of medicine flavors.

These practices were developed and refined in workshops, immersions and online courses over the past 18 months and are now available in this training. Working with the cards, in exercises, practices and rituals offers a fun, engaging and enjoyable way of learning and deepening which can be easily shared with your chosen community, friends and students.

Engaging with the Flavors of the Feminine™ offers a joyous and playful exploration while deepening your capacity to express the full spectrum from sublime expansion to the deep and wild erotic of feminine unfolding.

It was everything and much more than I expected!

“It was very deep, very “down to earth” and honest, the people attending the retreat were amazing as well as the location, everything very well organized and the process itself so much deeper than I expected! I felt really safe from the first minute and was able to process a lot during those days (and afterwards), thanks to the careful and very professional guidance by Michaela and Steve.”

Anna

She is authentic, a leader and loving.

“I uncovered qualities within myself that I previously believed were scarce or nonexistent. This newfound self-awareness has equipped me with the knowledge of how to apply these qualities in my life. The experience was both beautiful and nurturing, offering significant personal growth.”

Brenda

To wake this part up feels like a force of nature that has been activated.

“The Flavor Retreat was a deep immersion into my deepest hidden corners of my physical body and into the unknown realms of the dormant ravishing aspects of my being.”
