Let this be your erotic turning point

A 10-Week Intensive with Kimberly Ann Johnson starting October 13, 2026

Everybody deserves great sex.

And I’m betting you feel the same way… but your body might not be in agreement.

🐾   Is what used to work not working anymore?

🐾   Are you finding your arousal and turn-on elusive or confusing?

🐾   Do you know that there’s much more pleasure and connection available
but you don’t know how to get there?

Maybe you’re at a life threshold, maybe you’ve experienced pain,
maybe you just can’t seem to stay in your body during sex
or get the words out you really want to say.

Maybe you’re waiting for permission, or a guide, or a come-to-Jesus reckoning
to push you over the edge to finally turn towards your own true erotic power
and a sexual glow-up.

Let this course be your erotic turning point.

Arousal is life force.

That spark and its connection to another spark can have the power to bring another life into being.

That spark that becomes a flame that can become a bonfire has potential whether or not its energy gets directed into creating another human life. 

That spark can create more life within us, that is it’s power. 

That spark is there.

In every one of us. Waiting for us to remember her, to stand beside her, to blow on her a bit.

Arousal energy is also where re-patterning happens. Hint: the ultimate somatic + trauma work.

During this three month intensive, we’ll come together to fully embody your sexuality, take agency of your erotic experience, and create positive, reparative real-time experiences around sex and pleasure.

This is everything your mom didn’t teach you. The sex-ed you never had. In a group of courageous women ready to dive in.

This is everything your mom didn’t teach you. The sex-ed you never had. In a group of courageous women ready to dive in.

Due to personal reasons…we’ll be pouring gas on the f*cking fire this year.

Accepting our erotic season is our map of maturity...

Due to personal reasons…
we’ll be pouring gas on the f*cking fire this year.

Accepting our erotic season is our map of maturity...

...of being willing to step into the dynamic rhythms of a full life rather than insisting on the flat line of eternal youth.

I’m not a maiden or a mother teaching you about sex. I’m a Maga (sorceress) who has been through the underworld multiple times. This is my favorite material to teach– it’s cutting edge, satisfying, and holistic.

We’ll talk about all those things everybody wants to know about, but is too afraid to ask – no holds barred: female anatomy, libido changes, arousal pathways, sex communication, fluids, vaginal “atrophy”, sexual agency.

A real world understanding of the nervous system that is foundational to becoming a sexual alchemist. 

At the end of our time together, you’ll be fully equipped not only to understand what you and your body need for pleasure, but also be able to translate that so you can have that incredible sex everybody seems to be talking about … and nobody seems to be having.

Yes, in three months, you will have direct experiences of these nervous system states, including trance states. You will live the connection between your pelvic health and sexual health, and feel more erotically alive and empowered.

SEXUALITY + THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

SAVE MY SEAT

"To say this experience has been nothing short of life altering
for me, would be an understatement."

When the student is ready, the teacher appears. Kimberly, you’ve done an amazing job of listening to all of us and helping to lead us out of the dark cracks of hidden shame and back into the light of day.

There are many ways to peel an onion. During this class, I didn’t just peel off the thin, translucent layers of skin that I’ve plodded along in traditional therapy for years – I dug my fingers into the heart of the onion and ripped off an enormous chunk of shame and embarrassment and tossed it aside.”

Dance the Erotic Layers

When we are at thresholds, with relationships or with our bodies- bleeding, postpartum, menopause- and all the other thresholds that life offers- miscarriage, divorce, death, or other kinds of radical shifts- we are stripped down. 

The way things have worked before changes. It seems like a demotion. It seems unfair. We can’t seem to locate the spark or the path.

Yet these liminal spaces are where we are remade and reorganized. 

When there is no more time or energy for pretense, a truer version of ourselves can come forward. 

This doesn’t mean there is no eroticism, it means we have to find new ways in. 

Or maybe the place you’ve been is afraid to stretch into different parts of yourself, and for you that means playing with a persona, pushing into the taboo that has been forbidden, or you have forbidden yourself. Maybe there’s something you want to put on.

Either way the erotic dance is between this dressing and undressing. And it’s often what makes life feel like it’s worth it.

Our sexuality is core to feminine embodiment.

Dear Ones,

I am a 52 year old postmenopausal woman.

I have been divorced, a single mom, a dating single mom, remarried. My daughter Cece is in her second year at university overseas. 

Through it all, I’ve been devoted to the realities of living in a female body and all that means for me spiritually and sexually.

This last portal through menopause was the biggest so far. So many things about me were put through the fire, and I’ve had to find new ways to communicate about what I want and how I want it. I have lived through many erotic seasons, and I imagine that if you are reading this, you have to- or maybe you’d like to!

I invite you into this three month experience, my life’s work. My book Erotic Seasons: Tuning Into the Rhythms of Women’s Sexuality and Spirituality (St. Martin’s Essentials) releases November 17th—and I’m teaching one of the 10 anchor classes live that day.

Hundreds of women of all ages will come together to explore what female eroticism is when not in reaction or response to the male gaze. 

This course is filled with layers of revelation, education, and juice.

There are consequences for putting sex, and everything that sex means, on the backburner.

Let this be your erotic turning point.

Our bodies hold patterns - of tension, of collapse, of protection. Pleasure is one of the ways we rewrite them.

SEASONS

The story of troubled female seasons is getting more intense rather than less intense.

I have started to believe that the overwhelmingly negative frame surrounding each of these female thresholds is directly proportional to how much power we as women hold. 

It may also reflect our stubborn hold on modernity—our refusal to reflect on the impact of how distant we’ve become from nature’s seasons and imperatives.

Discount the cyclical and creative capacity of women and you have taken away an elemental power source and a wayfinding ability that cripples not just women, but everyone.

If we were to potentiate these cycles—and taking this intensive is one way to do so—women would have a tremendous amount of incontrovertible power. The world would change as a result.

SESSIONS

Witnessing session work is sacred...

By allowing witnesses, we distribute the weight of what is being carried and what is being held. 

Once you register for Activate Your Inner Jaguar: Seasons & Sessions, you may apply to receive session work.

Kimberly will be looking for women navigating a birth injury, postpartum issues, a gynecological surgery or termination, a sexual boundary rupture, an underworld journey, a menopause portal, or challenges or new desires traversing a female threshold into a new erotic season. 

All Sessions are at 11am Pacific | 2pm Eastern
Session 1:  Thursday, October 22nd
Session 2:  Thursday, October 29th
Session 3:  Thursday, November 5th
Session 4:  Thursday, November 12th

We cannot walk this path alone. Women of each season need each other. The full expression of each season requires the proximity of women in other seasons.

This course is for you if...

  • You have an inkling that the aging process of your female body has information for your soul path
  • You feel disconnected from your body or your desire – and you want to come home to yourself
  • You’ve been through life transitions (motherhood, menopause, breakups) and feel like your erotic self got left behind
  • You’re tired of the pressure, the shame, or the stories that make sex feel heavy instead of alive
  • You’ve explored tantra, orgasmic meditation, or spiritual sexuality but found yourself overriding deeper cues
  • You long for intimacy that’s deeper, warmer, and more nourishing than what you’ve known so far
  • You want to experience sex as energy, as power, as connection– not as performance or obligation
  • You want to be part of a movement of empowered women tending to their erotic selves– and not buying into all the discouraging narratives about sexuality declining or fizzling out
  • You understand the cultural implications of women understanding how our own bodies work

FAQs

Everything is recorded except the Sexuality Salon. 

If you can’t pay your rent or don’t have money for food, it’s not the right time. If it would cause you a lot of stress to make the payments, it’s not the right time. 

But if you’ve been setting your eroticism aside for a long time, or if you go to bed next to someone you feel disconnected from, if you don’t know how to be yourself or communicate what you want, if you feel continually frustrated sexually—there’s actually no amount of money that equals the value of an unlock with that.

The intensive is $200 off today only. That’s $597 now or 2 payments of $299. 

Here are some things to consider: It’s 10 weeks, 16 classes total, including 2 embodied workshop experiences that are rare and hard to find. It’s probably the cost of three therapy sessions, yet you’re getting more than 16 opportunities to be in a large group of women who are deeply committed to embodiment, presence, and doing this work.

For every Jaguar Sex Edition, women from their 20s to late 70s have been in the room. Every season has its own eros. I wrote a whole book about it, Erotic Seasons—and I’m teaching one of the 10 anchor classes on pub day (November 17th). If you’re secretly thinking you’re not in the “right season” or “age range” for this course, I want YOU in this round of Sex Edition (a.k.a. Activate Your Inner Jaguar: Seasons & Sessions). 

If you think that you’re too old, or it’s too late, or you’re too far gone, or you’re too jaded (and btw- people of all ages have these thoughts)… contrary to popular imagination, the passage of erotic seasons is working in your favor. Come explore ways to deepen into the erotic mystery with us. 🐚 

“Sexually active” is such an interesting phrase- most people mean they’re not having penetrative sex, but it’s completely possible to be erotically connected and alive without that. 

This course isn’t exactly about how to have better sex (though I can promise that will be an outcome, if you want it to be); it’s about you and yourself. There’s no requirement to be sexually active- just curious about sex or sexuality. 

We have women who are sheepishly interested in sex, and women who are exuberantly interested in sex.  Our conditioning is so different from generation to generation, and person to person. That range and diversity makes it fun.

Amazing. Show up for what feels good for you. Bask in the glow of the female erotic. Draft off the groundswell of the collective. Let it buoy you.

We need each other at all times, though especially during liminal times between seasons. Transitions between the seasons are often yin times- they require more quiet, more stillness, more spaciousness. Underworld journeys are a requirement of being in a female body. We can all journey, at our own paces, in different seasons, together. 

Come find out. 

We close out the course with the sexuality salon. Many people overseas wake up in the middle of the night to join it- and it’s beautiful to experience it in that liminal space (although I do understand that’s not everyone’s cup of tea). 

In a course with 17+ classes, it’s not so bad if one time doesn’t work. But I get it if that’s the clincher for you- it’s frustrating. I hope that you can make it work!

If you would like to receive live, virtual session work from Kimberly—and be witnessed by your fellow Jaguars—you may apply to receive session work after you register for the course. (You will receive an email with instructions on how to apply within a few days of registering.) We will choose sessions that are from different subject areas- ranging from conception, birth, terminations, miscarriages, gynecological surgeries and mysteries, sexual quandaries and boundary ruptures. Who we choose will be a combination of timing, and also diversity with the other sessions. So don’t take it personally if you do not get chosen.

APPRENTICE THE EROTIC

“I sometimes find myself flippantly saying an experience was “life-changing”, but I would give this workshop a much stronger qualifier:

It was an invitation to change my life.

An invitation to recognise my own agency and strength. An invitation to take the learning, the tools and skills being taught, and commit to the beautiful challenge of integration-work going forward, moment to moment to moment.”

— ARIANNA

Sophie Strand is a writer based in the Hudson Valley who focuses on the intersection of spirituality, storytelling, and ecology. But it would probably be more authentic to call her a troubadour animist with a propensity to spin yarns that inevitably turn into love stories. She believes strongly that all thinking happens interstitially – between beings, ideas, differences, mythical gradients. 

She is the author of The Flowering Wand,The Madonna Secret, and the forthcoming memoir The Body Is a Doorway.

The goal of Pam's work is twofold: to hold a deeply grounded, honest space for the people who get on her table to know and feel that they are whole, that they are absolutely capable of transformation, and that they have total authority over their own experience - and then to meet them with the skill, subtlety, intuition, and courage to accurately read and explore with them the places in their bodies where they are asking for help. 

Jane Hardwicke Collings is a former homebirth midwife, teacher, writer and menstrual educator. She gives workshops in Australia and internationally on mother and daughter preparation for menstruation, the spiritual practice of menstruation, and the sacred dimensions of pregnancy, birth and menopause. Jane founded and runs The School of Shamanic Womancraft, an international Women’s Mysteries School.

Devi Ward Erickson is the Founder of the Institute of Authentic Tantra
Education, the first and only government-accredited professional training institute using the Tibetan Five Element Tantric practices for holistic sexual healing.

Devi is an author and the Host of Sex is Medicine Podcast. She has been featured as a Tantric Healing Expert in over 30 different radio and television networks world-wide including Playboy Radio, Men’s Health Magazine, Ebony Magazine, CBS, NBC, Rogers TV, and the movie Sexology. In 2021, Devi was awarded the AASECT Live Web Series Award and was featured in VH1 “Couples Retreat”. This year alone, Devi has been featured as a Tantric Sex Expert in Cosmo Magazine two times and counting!
