About this Event

Pleasure. 


Can you say you have enough pleasure in your life?


How can simply enjoying and savoring our experience be so challenging?


Why is pleasure so provocative in our culture? 


Pleasure is provocative because pleasure is pure power.


We exist in a pleasure-rationing culture that teaches us to put pleasure last, that we must first work hard to earn our pleasure, and that pleasure itself is frivolous.


In fact, pleasure illuminates your most powerful consciousness design path.


It is your time to claim the power of your pleasure.


Join me, Krista, your neighborhood consciousness design guide, for an evening focused on creating more ease, flow, and bliss in your daily life. 


Our preferences, passions, and pleasures are not accidental. Within lies the self-ordained genius of our own path.


When we align with our powerful YES energy, we align our lives to flow.


Giving ourselves permission to live with intensity on the path of bliss creates an enlightened state.


Whether you seek enlightenment from a spiritual perspective or simply seek to lighten your load in the day-to-day, this power of pleasure in consciousness design is for you.


My bold intention is for you to recognize and embrace that your bliss serves a powerful purpose.


Together during Firestarters, we will:

✨ Embrace preferences, passions, and pleasures as guidance.

✨ Attune to the YES energy of our bliss.

✨ Transmute limiting emotions like guilt, shame, and judgment into lifeforce.

✨ Commit to the countercultural path inviting the deep wisdom of pleasure.

✨ Create with intensity and flow from energy first through consciousness design.


Let’s invite in the wisdom of pleasure and bliss together at Firestarters.


Here’s a bit more about me:


I serve humans who intuitively feel there is a dimension of bliss just beyond their reach and aspire to invite pleasure to illuminate their path. Those who are restless and feel the heaviness of cultural pressures to please, behave, or conform find both provocation and inspiration in my offerings. My circles, retreats, and sessions are created for those ready to catalyze their energetic shift from the usual to the euphoric in all they do, those called to find their edge and live their bliss.


Since 2005, I have been honored to guide visionaries in creating their own pleasure-illuminated, enlightened lives and loves. Through my radical consciousness design movement based in Portland, Maine, I dismantle the patriarchy through pleasure activism. All humans deserve the support to flow with ease and bliss in their relationships with Self and all the humans in their world.


I serve the collective as a consciousness design leader, author, and pleasure activist. I offer inspiration to live the pleasure-illuminated life in my retreats, circles, books, and art. One of my greatest pleasures is writing, including the books Unlearn Moderation, Body 2.0, Ischemia, Conscious Revolution, and the forthcoming The Bliss Manifesto: Your Guide to Pleasure-Illuminated Enlightenment.


I find my own edge and bliss as a collage artist and through meditative devotion, hiking, dancing, crosswords, weightlifting, and wandering in my RV. My practice spans the planet, and I live oceanside, a few steps from the Maine woods.
