Ignite Your PUSSY MAGIC
a burlesque & fire dancing retreat in the Caribbean | February 7-13, 2024
It was so incredible in 2023 we’re bringing it back in 2024…
IGNITE YOUR PUSSY MAGIC!
Explore the intersection of fire dancing, ritual, play, striptease, & erotic dance. A creative merging of Gaea’s Pussy Magic burlesque with the Ignite Fire Keeper’s flow-losophies of Kiki Mason & Gaea, this retreat honors our ever changing experience of co-creation.
Investigate the dynamic energies of wonder & play, eros & logos, fire & water, sensuality & confidence. Ignite Your Pussy Magic is a 7 day deep dive into honoring both transformation & rest, investigation & integration. During our time together we will explore our inner landscapes & the beautiful island of St Croix, merging our backgrounds and cultures with that of island life.
We will be supported by Kiki as Villa Miss-tress, holding the physical space at Villa Larimar and creating the container for us to explore our pussy magic within. Kiki will be co-facilitating for fire experiences, and adding her genius into morning movement and excursion sessions.
This is a safe space for you to be fully yourself to explore new aspects of who you are, co-created by all of us. This is a container for YOU to ignite your creativity, confidence, sensuality, self-love & self-appreciation, burlesque techniques, and fire dancing.
Ignite Your Pussy Magic Retreat 2024
Fire is the Ultimate Teacher.
When we’re able to show up for ourselves and each other, fully present & embodied, we create a space of healing. Fire trains us to do exactly that. Fire demands that we show up fully present & embodied. This is the journey, this is the practice. Wholeness happens when we choose to show up in this way, again and again and again.
Our erotic nature is our power
Pussy Magic. The magic contained in the bowl of your pelvis is a well, tapped in and sprung into source energy. The pelvic floor muscle wall is a pump to bring it up and through the body. This is the delicious soup of chaos where all creation is possible.
Discover, know your route to connect back into this place. Connect to your pussy magic and feel sensually alive by igniting your senses and following what turns you on in this life. Sculpt the atlas of your body, the oracle of your spirit. It calls you home to yourself and helps you chart your map.
IGNITE YOUR PUSSY MAGIC is for femme identifying humans seeking to fuse the erotic, sensual, expressive authenticity with fire dance. Embedded in ritual and reverence to our eros, our capacity to FEEL with the FIRE element, we will spend 7 days co-creating and diving deep into the inner flame of our heart's desires. This retreat will leave you feeling embodied as a flowing fire weaver of magic.
Any and all skill levels are welcome.
We will meet you where you are and guide you through the fire and back to your body, through your body and into the fire to be forged anew.
We believe that anyone who wishes can begin to feel their true sensuality & pick up the flame and wield it as a tool for healing and connection.

Morning Session : Erotic As Healing: The Sensual Arts
Our erotic is our power. Our erotic nature connects us to Oneness, through self & other, to experience a vibrant sensory life that TURNS US ON to living a life of wonder and creativity. Non-exclusive to sexual encounters, we become more CONFIDENT to live tuned in, turned on, connected, and alive. Our pleasure is the pathway to joy. And in finding joy and connection within the world around us, we see our Oneness. And this is healing. Finding ourselves and our place in the universe. Living in wonder, reveling in the vast sensations of being alive and celebrating that in ecstatic and erotic ways.
Through the powerful lens of burlesque, I guide you into a deeper knowing of yourself through sensuality, attention, expression, and celebration.
We use silk, fire, touch, flow, and floorwork to open into our own unique sensuality. Fire eating & fleshing, sensual touch, and silk on body will be explored in turn.
We both look into our shadow sides & bright in more light, as we explore burlesque-inspired movement to bring us into wholeness—which is indeed the art of healing. Self-love is a radical act.

Morning Session : Empowered Confidence
Become confident RIGHT now in your empowered presence. You are a forever changing being, because the only constant of the universe truly is change. P(;)ssy Magic is being confident in WHO you are, WHAT you’re doing, and HOW you’re doing it. You are listening deeply to your true self and acting upon that. You understand your capacity to create, and your ability to manifest with the elements around you. Confidence is trust embodied.
You are Golden. This session takes us deeply into both our shadows and brightness once again, exploring those parts of ourselves that drag us down into doubt or shame, guilt or jealousy. Then, we shed the light on them and celebrate ourselves fully for our human journeys and experiences in an ecstatic intuitive movement style dance journey + reflection session. We find the confidence living within our very bones to exist as our brightest beings.
We learn strip-tease choreography (using fire tools?) to empower us from within.
3 hour session
Evening Ritual & Activity: Naked & on Fire. You are invited to explore the mysteries of your own flesh and flame, together. Improvised Fire striptease or exploring the erotic art of fire is highly encouraged - stripping down your layers to where you and only you feel comfortable. No shame in wherever you are, clothes or not. No expectation to be any way other than you are, at this moment. Consent is mandatory.
