and pleasure
let’s take a peek at the journey:
Week 1: RADICAL ROMANCE
In this session we will immerse our bodies in the philosophical and sensual underpinnings of living life with an orientation towards Radical Romance and set the foundation for the weeks to come as we journey deeper into our sexuality, love and power...
The opening call of the Inner Lover retreat is FREE and welcome to all womenfolk, whether you are enrolled or not!
live session with me - your host - and Somatic Love Coach, Sophie Burns
Week 2: SENSUAL SOMATICS
In this module we establish familiarity and fluency with somatic foundations, self-healing and our empowered story. We will explore our breasts, the lymphatic system, daily rituals for holistic health, and more.
live session with Women’s Health Ritualist, Monserrat Villafana, @mon.moon____
Week 3: PLEASURE ANATOMY
Deepening into our erotic bodies, here we begin to explore and unlock the keys to pleasure, sensuality and breath. Understanding our sexual anatomy and emphasis on our pelvic bowls, wombs and, yes, our pussies (and what to call them).
live session TBA
Week 4: VOCAL LIBERATION
Taking it up a notch to the next level, we awaken the voice and all that comes up with it! Deep pelvic de-armoring, vocal freedom codes, clearing shame, wielding rage, and embodying authenticity — fiercely and artistically.
live session with Vocal Freedom Guide, Leah Grillo, @leahlivefree
Week 5: WILD PLAY
Here we reclaim and rediscover ourselves through the wild nature of our animal bodies. Exploring the medicine of movement, primal play, as well as demystifying orgasms and exploring the erotic essence of the wild.
live session with Erotic Movement Priestess, Geraldine Zamora, @geraldinez.amor
Week 6: ORGASMIC NOURISHMENT
Blooming into our radiance, here we explore the expansive flow of sexual energy and the cyclical, the intricacies of arousal, the practice of yoni massage, and how to nourish ourselves into overflow from the inside out.
live session with Creative Menstrual Poetess, Samantha Lucy, @samantha_lucy
Week 7: ECO-SEXUALITY
Lastly, (unless you enroll in the Beloved or Devoted tiers) our journey together closes with an exploration and radical embodiment series of eco-sexuality and the imaginal.
live session with Visual Artist & Ecological Storyteller, Nour Tohme, @nour_tohme
Week 8: DEVOTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS — BONUS!
Finally, (and only for those enrolled in the Beloved and Devoted tiers of Inner Lover,) we will close with a juicy and practical bonus module on sexuality in devotional relationships and keys to healthy, happy partnership.

“I haven’t been in a space like this in a long time or maybe ever. It’s unlocking a deeply rooted knowing of the power of women coming together.”
- Raychel
A summer playing and practicing inside of the romantic journey that is Inner Lover may just leave you feeling…
exalted in expressing and enjoying your authentic sexuality
resourced in somatic experience that heals and restores your body with your own hands
clarity on what turns you on, what lights you up, and what your body really needs
confident in your capacity to meet all of yourself erotically, emotionally, and spiritually
rewilded through your voice, heart and pelvic bowl emoting your deep love and erotic pleasure with shameless abandon
softened and filled with love in the places that once held shame, fear and imprints from the past
listening more deeply to your body and your pussy as a compass of truth in both sexual intimacy and guiding your life
grounded in the peacefulness and strength which comes from devoting wholeheartedly, to yourself as both lover and beloved
reunited with the joy of being IN love...
and if we’re being honest,
this journey might just reveal that the lush, sparkling coastlines your body most longs to explore this summer
are the ones
between your own legs…
that the deep pleasure, wholeness, and belonging you’ve been seeking outside of yourself…
is really a call to return
to your own inner lover.
Inner Lover is the permission slip your body has been waiting for.
Whether you’re happily partnered, seeking connection, or savoring solitude — this is for you.

The LIVE sessions are 1-2 hours each week on Wednesdays at 9am PST.
Each module includes pre-recorded classes, guided practices, and prompts to support your journey. To truly receive the richness of this retreat, I recommend carving out an additional 1–3 hours per week to immerse yourself in these practices!
In total, you can expect to spend a minimum of 2-4 hours per week, with the option to go much deeper if you desire.
Think of it as time enthusiastically well-invested in the love story of your lifetime — the one with your own body, your sensuality, and your soul! Plus, it’s summer! When better to make this space and luxuriate in your own becoming?!

Have you been on a path of growth, transformation and self-discovery that has you curious to more deeply explore your sexuality and feminine power?
Do you feel limited in your sexuality by how you free (or unfree) you feel to express yourself, by how much pleasure you do (or don’t) feel, or by how many orgasms you do (or don’t) have?
Do the stories, emotions, and energetic patterns from the past continue to play out even now as you still feel shy to ask for what you want, choke back saying no, or entertain outdated dynamics that no longer truly serve you?
Do you ultimately desire to experience more embodied, juicy presence in intimacy and relationships, more sacred and fulfilling orgasms, and deeper sensations of pleasure which truly nourish you?
Are you ready to let go of the contracted, forced body patterns you had to adopt in order to survive your childhood and choose new practices that allow you to feel liberated pleasure and connection every day, moment to moment?
And do you want to not have to do it alone and instead enjoy this journey in the company of incredible women around the world sharing stories, support and love along the way?
If you answered YES to any or all of these questions, then YES — Inner Lover is for you!
-
Yes! Inner Lover is open to all who resonate with the journey of feminine erotic reclamation — regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or relationship status.
This space is designed for those who identify with or are drawn to the experience of womanhood, the feminine body, and the sacred erotic as a living force. Queer, trans, and non-binary beings who feel called to this work are absolutely welcome here!
Please note: This space centers the experience of living in a feminine body, and many of the teachings, practices, and language inside the course are oriented toward cisgender women. So please take what resonates, adapt what you need, and enjoy falling more deeply in love with yourself inside of Inner Lover!
-
If you're feeling the spark and want to gently step into this journey to receive the richness of the experience without a big commitment — the Muse Tier is for you. You’ll get access to the core of Inner Lover at a beautifully accessible price.
If you're craving more — more intimacy, more sisterhood, more sacred space to be witnessed and to share your story — if you want to feel wrapped in a deeper container of connection and community,
choose the Beloved Tier.And if you're ready to go all in — to be held in private, ceremonial-grade somatic love coaching with me,
to deepen your healing, your embodiment, your becoming… the Devoted Tier is your path. This is for the woman ready to meet herself fully and emerge transformed. -
No problem! Just watch the recordings when you can and enjoy the Inner Lover journey at your own pace!

Please note: scholarships and discounts will not be available this program.
The early bird rate of $555 (or $100 / month for 6 months) is intentionally accessible for the depth and value this experience offers: 7 live sessions, over 5 hours of recorded content, an intimate community space, ongoing access to the recordings, resources and more.
Investing in your sexuality is not indulgent — it’s essential. To honor your erotic life is to honor your life force itself, and choosing to invest in that is an act of deep self-respect, reclamation, and devotion.

Inner Lover and it’s predecessor the Sexual Sovereignty course were made for you — specifically you — in mind.
The Sexual Sovereignty course was initially designed as a supplementary resource and guiding hand-rail to walk with those who are on a journey of healing their bodies from sexual trauma, from inherited shame conditioning, from pain from the past, and so on.
It includes comprehensive teachings and guided practices on how to heal your own body (and become your own lover and step into healthy partnership too).
In my private somatic coaching practice, I specialize in working with my clients in healing sexual trauma from the deepest layers of the body, the nervous system, the psyche and the spirit. I typically do this in sacred, private 1:1 containers and decided to build Sexual Sovereignty and now Inner Lover to supplement and make more widely available this work. I have extensive credentials, experience and practice in this field (feel free to read my about page) and, importantly, I have my own fierce transmission and lived experience of recovering from sexual assault, emotional abuse and intimate partner violence — and stepping into a life and body of health, radiance and thriving.
You will be thought of and cared for every step of this journey.
There is also the option to join the Devoted tier where you receive 3× 1:1 sessions with me. I highly recommend this option if you would like additional support with traumatic imprints that you may not have yet faced in therapy or elsewhere.
I am here to hold you and this supportive community will be profoundly healing for you.

Testimonials:
“Enrolling in Sophie’s program was the most profound and transformative commitment I’ve ever made. Before working with Sophie, I was chronically anxious, disconnected from my body and heart, and deeply uncertain about my future. Sophie is a channel of pure truth & love, creating such sacred and empowering spaces that allow for healing and transformation. Through her teachings and the support of the group, I found my authentic voice and manifested the life I always dreamed of. Today, I’m the co-founder of a non-profit, in the healthiest relationship I’ve ever known, and in such deep trust with my body and sexuality. Sophie cares so deeply about the women she serves. You will feel inspired to become the best version of yourself, and gain the confidence to bring your truest desires to life.“
— Hannah
“I can't express how much l've been looking for a space like this, and I'm feeling like even two weeks in I'm shifting so much. I appreciate your positive and calm energy, wisdom, and vulnerability. You've taught me so much just by seeing how you respect yourself and your process.“
— Liz
“Sophie’s beautiful course seeps with love and inspiration and I feel how deeply its flown into me. Her guidance opened doors that I have found my own love, power, trust, and knowing in. It has been such an invitation into myself, full of possibility and excitement because I know its just the beginning. I feel so grateful and recommend her work wholeheartedly.”
— Ava
“Sophie has guided me into a tender reunion with my sacred femininity. Through her offerings, I learned to kiss my own skin with softness, hold myself with warmth, and to feel truly safe in my body. Her devotion to this work radiates through every space she holds; I wholeheartedly recommend this work to every women I know.”
— Talia
“I'm truly so grateful to be in this group. I've watched last week's session twice, and I'm just genuinely in awe of you, your power, and your agency. What you're teaching is revolutionary, and I'm so honored to be a part of it.
