Bridging science and spirit through the healing art of embodied eros.
AMORIS ET EROS - San Diego
Where the Medicine of Love Meets Healing-Centered BDSM
A weekend immersion into the art of conscious power exchange, where love, breath and embodiment become the medicine.
February 6-8, 2026 - San Diego, CA
Join Dr. David Freeman and Dr. Joana Matos for an intimate three-day journey in the heart of conscious relating and power exchange.
The Experience
You are invited to explore the energetic and emotional intelligence behind BDSM as a language of safety, surrender and embodied truth.
Through heart-centered reflection, ritual, breathwork and guided exercises, you'll learn to regulate your nervous system, communicate your authentic boundaries and open to the aliveness that arises when polarity is honored with care.
The Journey
This retreat is a powerful gift—to yourself or to a partner. Couples often attend to re-spark desire, explore new energetic dynamics, and rediscover each other with fresh eyes. Singles come to expand their erotic awareness, develop relational mastery, and step into future partnerships with confidence and ease. You will learn practical skills for healthier communication, deeper emotional safety, and more embodied intimacy—skills that directly enhance your personal, relational, and sexual life.
What To Expect
This is a trauma-informed retreat designed to meet you exactly where you are. No prior BDSM experience is needed — only a willingness to meet yourself and others with honesty, curiosity and care. Come single, partnered, or simply curious — all are welcome. Expect a weekend that weaves education, embodiment and ceremony, grounded in
love, trust and respect. You’ll be supported by an experienced facilitation team and surrounded by a conscious community devoted to evolving through Eros.
