Opening realms of Deep intimacy through ritual, play and magik
Aug 23 & 24, 2025 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. PST - Topanga Canyon, CA
CAP 20 Practitioners (10 Feminine / 10 Masculine)


What to expect:
Beyond Polarity is more than a workshop—it’s a living, breathing space where the sacred pulse of life stirs awake in the body. Over the course of two immersive days, we invite you to step out of the noise and into a field of deep connection, primal remembrance, and heart-centered ritual. Here, you are not asked to perform or perfect, but to soften, to feel, and to return to the truth of who you are beneath all the masks.
This is a co-ed gathering for those ready to explore what lies beyond the rigid constructs of masculine and feminine—into the fluid, living mystery where intimacy, power, and presence converge. Whether you come alone or with a partner, you’ll be held in a sacred, intentional space where breath, movement, sound, and stillness become the languages through which we reawaken our connection to self, other, and the unseen.
You will be guided through potent somatic & shamanic practices and rituals designed not only to open the body but to invoke the deeper mythic forces that shape our lives. Through playful yet profound exchanges, partnered explorations, and moments of raw stillness, you’ll begin to dissolve the old stories and reclaim a more authentic way of being and relating, from your heart, your essence will shine.
There will be laughter. There may be tears. There will most certainly be magic. This is a space where the erotic and the innocent meet, where the mystery can breathe again through touch, eye gazing, honest expression, and sacred play. Here, sensuality is not performance—it is prayer. Connection is not transactional—it is transformational.
With only 20 spaces available, this intimate circle is for practitioners who feel the call to drop beneath surface-level relating and into something more real. Something that nourishes the soul and leaves you feeling more alive, more seen, more whole.
If you’ve been longing to feel yourself more deeply, to connect in ways that nourish rather than deplete, and to remember what it feels like to be fully embodied, fully human, and fully alive—this is your invitation.
We welcome you with open arms and open hearts. Step in.
THIS CO-ED GATHERING IS FOR PRACTITIONERS WHO WANT TO:
- Be Held in a Safe Container and Led into Deep Waters of Connection: Within a securely held space, you will be guided into profound experiences of connection with self and others. Here, vulnerability and authenticity are expressed freely, allowing you to explore the beauty and depth of human connection in ways that feel safe, grounded, and deeply enriching.
- Reclaim the Medicine of Play in Your Life: Rediscover the liberating and restorative power of play, a sacred essence of being human and often forgotten in our day-to-day lives. Through playful exercises and experiences, you’ll remember the joy of spontaneous expression, laughter, and light-heartedness, reconnecting with an essential part of your being that brings resilience and balance.
- Awaken To The Power of Ritual: Tap into the transformative potential of ritual as a practice for grounding, intention amplification, and self-discovery. Through guided rituals, you’ll create elevated moments of meaning and connection that help you honor transitions, celebrate growth, and navigate life’s challenges.
- Dive into Unguarded Practices of Love, Presence & Self-Expression: Engage in practices that invite you to let go of barriers, embrace the present moment, and explore the full spectrum of your self-expression. Through these experiences, you will deepen your capacity to love openly, listen, receive, be impacted, and express yourself without holding back, strengthening your relationships with yourself and others.
- Experience A Deep Sense of Freedom: Shed the layers of conditioning and expectations as you are invited to express your true self fully. This workshop encourages liberation from judgment and invites you to embrace the freedom of being unapologetically yourself, moving through life with more ease and openness.
- Be Nourished Through Deep Dives and Energetic Exchanges: In this sacred container, you’ll experience nourishing practices that rejuvenate and replenish your spirit. Through meaningful interactions and energetic exchanges, you’ll leave feeling deeply fulfilled, grounded, and inspired by the shared journey of growth, connection, and healing with others.
This workshop is designed to be a transformative journey that touches every level of your being, inviting you to return to the world renewed, replenished, inspired, empowered, and deeply connected to yourself and others.
Location: Butterfly Mountain, Topanga Canyon, CA
Located on over 70 acres in beautiful Topanga Canyon, our eco-sanctuary will immerse you in an oasis of nature, trees, and wildlife. Nestled in a private valley, with a seasonal waterfall and private mountain range as our backyard. The variety of vegetation throughout the grounds creates multiple microclimates on the property, creating different environments and landscapes. From lush, green, mossy fern banks along the natural creek to expansive valleys studded with boulders and sculptural trees. Meditative nature paths wind up the mountainside, leading to the breathtaking seasonal waterfall with tree-lined mountain and vista views.
This gathering sells out every year, and space is limited to 20 practitioners.
Your Facilitators

Keri Khalighi
Intimacy and the depths of relationship are among Keri's deepest passions and have been the muse for her drive into rich internal work in the realms of somatic healing, intimacy, sacred sexuality, and the feminine mysteries. The last 20 years of her practice have been devoted to studying, training and practicing with teachers from various lineages, including somatics, tantra, and feminine mystery schools. Her desire to give back in these realms gave birth to the founding of Way of the Elements in 2019, where women gather in deep practice, reclamation, and community.

Amir Khalighi
Amir Khalighi is a teacher, speaker, and guide devoted to awakening and aligning men to their soul’s path. As the founder and lead facilitator of Embodied Masculine™ (EmbodiedMasculine.com), he has spent over three decades walking alongside men, helping them reclaim their purpose, deepen their presence, and reconnect with the sacred—within themselves, in relationship, and with the natural world.
Since establishing Embodied Masculine™ in 2018, Amir’s work has touched the lives of men across the globe through retreats, workshops, initiation programs, circles, and one-on-one mentorship. His approach is rooted in lived experience and shaped by years of study across multiple traditions, including Tibetan Tantra, Hermeticism, Shamanism, Somatic Healing, Breathwork, and embodiment methodology. These influences converge into a grounded and integrated path that supports men in shedding old identities, remembering their true nature, and standing in deeper integrity with life.
