WOMAN: The Live Course, May 2025

Something is missing.

You're doing all the things. {Or you just can't get it together.}

You're successful. {Or you're fucking up.}

You've found your person. {Or you fear it'll never happen for you.}

You're happy. {Or, you look good. But you're not good. You're really not good.}

Wherever you are, you're aware, dimly or acutely, that something is missing.

You can't articulate what that thing is...

Yet somehow, you know that if you saw it, if you felt it...

You'd recognize it instantly.

Pleasure: the missing ingredient

The thing that's missing is pleasure.

Systematically, our cultural conditioning has encouraged us, even driven us, away from pleasure. For women especially, the idea of pleasure induces doubt, guilt, and shame. This is not an accident.

Wherever we fall in terms of the life checkboxes being checked: women are, on the whole, in a severe pleasure deficit.

We are the Walking Wired and Tired.

We are some degree of disembodied and drained yet doggedly obedient to our calendars.

We nibble or gobble but we do not savor.

And we are grateful for all we have. Of course we are.

And yet, every once in a while...

As we dutifully tick items off our to-do lists, or even as we reach our big goals, a question floats wistfully into our awareness: Isn't there...more? But the next thing is already tugging at us--a kid, a task, a text, the next Netflix episode--and it is urgent and there's just no time.

You're right: there is no time. Something infinitely better is available:

Right now. You can make a change now.

All that's needed is a reset.

Enter: WOMAN.

"Leslie's pleasure container felt like holy aliveness. The whole experience was delicious uplifting, embodied, and real. I felt centered, lit up, and fully in my feminine. It was fun, deep, and powerful all at once.

Honestly, don’t miss it. You’ll feel 1000% more in your sensuality, and life will reflect that back to you in the most unexpected ways."

Shukurat A.

Jumpstart your pleasure--and your power--with WOMAN!

If you are ready to reclaim your vibrance, fulfillment, and joy...and your sexy bad-bitchness, too...

And if you are ready for a life that doesn't require you to first lose or gain weight, or get that dream job, or find that dream person, or take just a bit more time to figure yourself out before you can feel worthy and ready and really really reeeeallllly good...

During WOMAN, you'll learn how to use your pleasure to fuel the life of your dreams--and you'll feel so damn good every step of the way.

Actually, that is the "work" of this course.

You'll have to do stuff that feels more and more good.

You'll have to watch things fall magically into place.

You'll have to witness your life feel evermore delicious and fun--just in time for summer!

"Leslie’s class had so many ideas, techniques, and a rich variety of pleasure activities to choose from. I was constantly amazed at her wealth and variety of resources. She is masterful and passionate about pleasure and including it in your life."

Elizabeth M.

Pleasure is all that's been missing.

What exactly is pleasure?

Pleasure is the capacity to feel good--the capacity to feel all-the-way good now, that is. Not later. Not after this, that, and the third.

As women, our bodies are uniquely designed to alchemize pleasure into power.

And so, when our bodies are in a pleasured state, we realize...oh!

This feeling--this feeling of pleasure...what we thought could happen only after "the thing" happens--we get all the things get done, we are successful, or whatever represents finally, I can let myself be happy: we realize we can go ahead and feel that fulfillment now.

Even better:

We realize that genuine, true pleasure is what draws all of the above to us.

Even deeper: we realize that we don't need any of the above to be happy.

Such is the profound power of pleasure.

“Leslie offered a comprehensive course of simple but profound practices that helped me to deeply embody the divine aspects of sensual wisdom and delights. I eagerly anticipated each delicious weekly assignment and am grateful for the profoundly pleasurable results!”

Can I chat with you before I sign up for WOMAN?

You also can get a sense of my overall pleasure orientation by listening to this interview.

Outside of the 90-minute Thursday live classes, what is the weekly time commitment for WOMAN?

The technical answer is 1 to 2 hours.

The true answer, though, is that the time you spend on your pleasure play outside of the 90-minute Thursday live classes will unfurl and unfold naturally.

An even-truer answer: Just show up to class. Truly, that is enough.

It seems like WOMAN will involve some body work. What if I hate my body?

First, you're soooo not alone. Body hatred is so common among women and not accidentally.

Second, great noticing how you feel about your body! That's such a helpful place to start, is with honesty. And so, if hatred is where you are starting, then that is where to begin.

We will discuss tools not to get past or move past the hatred--that is what keeps it locked in place. Instead, we will discuss tools that will enable you to work with and honor this hatred. From there, we will see what unfolds. Something lovely, I suspect:).

I gotta ask...what is the orgasm stuff we'll learn?

The essence of orgasm is relationship. The essence of relationship is sensitivity. And the essence of sensitivity is allowing, or softening. So, we'll spend significant time noticing those aspects.

From there, I'll share resources and tools--instructions and simple physical tools--that enable all kinds of orgasms: clitoral, G-spot, P-spot, A-spot/cervical, anal, throat--and, as of late, uterine orgasms as well! There are many more just waiting to be uncovered, I know.

We'll talk at a fairly broad level, as WOMAN is a survey course that will prepare you for deeper areas of study in my upcoming advanced pleasure courses, should you want to go further.

What I'll teach is from my solo personal experience, and the emphasis is on sharing information that reliably enables you to generate orgasmic pleasure within your own body, too.

What you choose to do with your knowledge...is up to you:).

I carry sexual trauma. I'm interested in the pleasure aspect of WOMAN, but I'm worried about the orgasm stuff.

Yes, that makes a lot of sense. Many of us carry sexual trauma.

My emphasis on the orgasm stuff is relationship. This is where we start. You'll have room to unpack a bit and be with those parts of you that carry the trauma. If you feel the most pleasure stopping there, do stop there. That right there--the listening and the resulting stopping--there is the beginning of orgasm! That is the relationship we are needing. It is when we allow the body to stop where she wants that she can feel safe enough to go into deeper orgasm, in her own perfect timing. But each level of orgasm feels...orgasmic:).

FYI I'll also share resources about clearing sexual trauma from your body, as, again, so many of us carry it.

I'm traveling one of the weeks of the course. Will I miss that week's information?

Nope! All the live classes will be recorded, and your between-class pleasure play, along with instructions, will be posted.

Can nonbinary people and transgender women sign up?

Fuck yes.

Can you tell us more about you?

Glad you asked! See the next section below.

Your Instructor

Hi! I'm Leslie, and I created WOMAN because as a professionally trained teacher with 25-plus years of experience, I know that the best way to learn a thing evermore deeply is to teach it--and I want to keep learning about pleasure.

I have taken pleasure classes at Lafayette Morehouse; I have completed advanced pleasure studies under Regena Thomashauer and Carolyn Elliott; I edited renowned pleasure teacher and pioneering death doula Oceana Sawyer's book, Life, Death, Grief, and the Possibility of Pleasure; and I already have created and run several successful pleasure group containers.

Pleasure is the organizing principle and rocket fuel that inspires my rather magical somatic healing modality, Inquiry Meditation, and my rather magical life.

For those women who have felt that quiet call toward something bigger, that earnest yearning for something...something...

I am thrilled to offer you WOMAN.

WOMAN is here.
