Gather With Kristin Warnaca

Erotic sovereignty,
lived in community.

Some of the deepest reclamation happens in the presence of others who are also finding their way home. Here's what's open, what's coming, and what she's already held.

Coming Up · September 13–16, 2026 · Keystone, CO

Kristin joins
Midlife Elevated.

Four days at a private mountain estate in Colorado, where the whole point is being the one who gets cared for. Stephanie Traver, a women's health nurse practitioner and Menopause Society certified practitioner, built this retreat around nervous system regulation as the ground everything else stands on: nourishing food, daily yoga and breathwork, restorative treatments, and fireside conversations about what women in midlife are quietly carrying.

Kristin leads a workshop on the liminal woman and the four phases, the shedding and the resting and the recalibrating that happen over and over in this passage. She is calling it provocative and playful and sweet. The group stays small, and suites go by application.

Kristin and Stephanie talked about all of it on the Permission Granted Podcast: the estrogen veil, perimenopausal rage, and why desire goes quiet when the body believes it is running from a bear. Watch the episode →

Kristin headlines
The Eros Collective.

Three days of immersive work at the intersection of intimacy, embodiment, sexuality, relationships, and human development, held at a private residence in Oakland. Kristin joins Ayce Kyptyn, Lindsay Miller, Deborah Kat, and Master Hines on the facilitator team, and her Saturday morning is a live BeforePlay session: The Conversation We Never Learned to Have, and Permission to Belong to Yourself.

The gathering, produced by Volitionary Life, is built on a single conviction: eros is how we expand our capacity to be fully human. Expect real collaboration, deep practice, and a room intimate enough that you will actually be met. Early registration is $797 and rises as the weekend fills.

The Gathering:
monthly, open door.

Not a course. Not a cohort. Think of it as the campfire, not the curriculum. Kristin shows up and talks about what she's actually thinking about. The question that won't leave her alone. The thing that cracked three sessions open in a row this week. The concept she's stress-testing in her own life before she teaches it anywhere.

Come as you are. No prep, no homework, no performance. Just Kristin thinking out loud and a room full of people who speak the same strange language. Whether you've done the deep work with her or you're still deciding if you're ready, the door is open and the cost won't be the thing that stops you.

The waitlist is where you'll hear about it first.

The Gathering

Bring what you're carrying.
Leave with something you didn't know was missing.

Kristin brings what is alive in her right now. You bring what you've been sitting with. Something happens in the space between. It's less like a lecture and more like sitting at the kitchen table with someone who has already walked the road you're on, and isn't tired of talking about it. Some months it will be a framework she's been stress-testing in her own life. Some months it will be something that cracked three sessions open this week and she can't stop turning it over. You'll leave thinking about something you didn't know you needed to think about.

What she's held.

Each of these was its own container, complete and unrepeatable. Listed here so you can see the shape of the work and the company she keeps. Some return in new forms. Some don't. Either way, they happened.

An Evening with the Authors

The Embracing Your Eros anthology reading

The night Kristin became a published author. She took the stage in Oakland as one of six contributors to the anthology and closed the evening as the final reader, moving from her chapter, "Cult to Kink," into Full Spectrum Eros, the raw and alive territory beyond performance and 'goodness,' told through her own awakening out of a fundamentalist childhood. She brought the house down. Get the book on Amazon.

Summer Bash

A practitioners' gathering in Boulder

A private, invite-only weekend for practitioners in somatic and sexological work: skill-sharing, movement, and the kind of community that forms when a field comes together in person. Kristin joined as a friend and collaborator of the presenters, there for the connection and the craft.

KinkBound Pro

Aftercare & Regulation Room

Three days of professional training at the intersection of somatic work, sacred kink, and trauma. Kristin held the aftercare and regulation room: the place attendees landed when the work moved through them faster than the mind could follow.

Saints & Sinners

In-person initiation at Carnival Dungeon

The somatic companion to The Lord's House. A body-first beginning for those who needed the threshold crossing to happen in flesh, not on Google Meet. Held in the Boulder room where Kristin does her in-person work in Colorado.

The 1:1 walks you through it.

When you're ready to move beyond the container of a group and into something built entirely around you, one session is where that begins. No packages. No prerequisites. You show up. Kristin meets you exactly where you are.
