A woman’s connection to her sensuality and pleasure is a reclamation of her power.
Her sensuality is the felt sense of her aliveness, experienced within the body.
The pursuit of pleasure is not about hedonism or simply feeling “good.”
It is about being in the truth and reality of our sensory experience.
Your desire, imagination, and pleasure matter.
The time to emerge is now.
Like a mushroom emerging from the earth, we are reminded our history does not need to be wasted. We can process this history to create something new and useful.
Patriarchal systems have long shamed, ignored or dominated women’s sensuality and pleasure. Our bodies have been objectified, sexualized and traumatized.
We have been trained to comply, self-abandon and accommodate others needs at our own expense.
Our experience of the erotic has been been distorted and co opted.
There is another way.
The call for women to reclaim their pleasure and power is loud and invites new possibilities. When we nurture our embodied pleasure and sensuality, we expand what is possible not just for our ourselves but for the world.
Embodied pleasure and sensuality are about living with a deep sense of trust in yourself. When we expand our emotional capacity for joy and pleasure, we expand our capacity to make meaningful change in our lives, our communities and our world.
We cannot simply talk about what needs to change. The transformation needs to be grounded in the body and held with the support of the collective.

Your Guide
Hello! My name is Natalie Benway-Correll
I believe a well lived life is possible when we connect with the truth of our bodies, the power of our voice and the belonging we experience when we recognize we don’t have to do it alone.
Like so many women, I have spent a good part of my life feeling disconnected from myself.
In my healing process, I slowly began to come home to the inherent wisdom and safety of my body. I learned to accept and respond skillfully to sensation which made pleasure and feeling good accessible to me.
The more I validated my own felt experience in a safe container, the more I opened to the
DELICIOUS complexities of embodied pleasure!
Your body is a miracle, and it is our divine birthright to feel pleasure.
When we are connected to our sensuality, we are connected to life.
What a gift!

Inspired by the work of Sonya Reneee Taylor’s book My Body is not an Apology, EMERGE will explore 3 essential processes for cultivating Embodied Sensuality and Pleasure. We cannot simply talk about what needs to change.
The transformation needs to be grounded in the body and held within the support of the collective.
This 3-step process addresses our: Thinking | Doing | Being

You want to feel connected to the felt experience of pleasure, joy and sensuality.
You want to understand what an embodied and satisfying erotic life means to you.
You want to identify strategies for navigating pleasure with yourself and others, instead of avoiding or repressing desires.

"I am so glad I joined the Emerge experience! Natalie created space for us to be brave, to share and have conversations that would otherwise be really hard to initiate. The questions we explored have given me so much to think about. The group was open to my perspective as a lesbian and I appreciated the chance to learn from such interesting women."
~Jo Futrell

“The idea of being able to create safe space for each other as women is so empowering! Holding vulnerable and open conversations about ways the systems of the world has impacted not only each one of us individually but as a whole felt very healing! The program was completely inspiring and reminded me to allow myself to have desires and to embrace them! I honor what Natalie is doing and it feels so good to be apart of this radical movement!"

"Natalie provides brave space for women to connect - with each other and within themselves. She shared her wisdom and knowledge in a way that allowed me to identify and release outdated beliefs. I developed a closer connection to my divine feminine nature during Emerge, softening into the creative, intuitive woman I am.”
~Robin Springer

"Emerge was uplifting and positive in many ways. Gathering as women in a supportive, comfortable space where we can openly share our journeys and experiences of joy and pleasure is a beautiful way to connect and embrace one another. Natalie guided and encouraged us to explore the root of our insecurities. Through this process, I gained insight into what I need in order to fully embrace my joy and sense of self-worth." The weekly prompts helped me to consider a range of thought-provoking questions. I truly appreciated the language we were given, which helped me communicate more effectively and clarify my boundaries."
