On this boat, you’ll explore how to embrace inner challenges like your inner critic, hurting inner child, and inner conflicts with Shanina's guidance on the Odysseus Path. This Path is inspired by Odysseus’ inner growth as he faced his own inner and outer monsters. Are there parts of you that you know need your attention? Have you developed awareness of your inner critic, but still find yourself criticizing yourself for having one? Does it feel like your inner child is just out of reach, or like you're not sure how to support them? We will explore your very real capacity to be with yourself in a new light. I will give you tools and exercises to help you really be there for yourself, and feel the love you deserve. You will explore yourself through Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy inspired practices, meditations, and embodiment exercises. In Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, individuals navigate their inner world by working with distinct “parts,” each representing unique aspects of their personality, emotions, and experiences. In my sessions, you’ll learn to “step back” from those parts just enough for you to see them, and lean back in with love, ultimately fostering self-discovery and healing through the integration of these various facets. On the Odysseus Path, learn tools to access your confidence, compassion, and curiosity.

On this boat we will foster an atmosphere of trust, safety and self-discovery, and a renewed sense of intimacy inspired by the enduring tales of Ulysses and Calypso. Engage in tailored sessions and workshops to embrace the monsters of your sexuality and relationships. The Ionian Sea creates a sanctuary where attendees traverse the depths of their desires, fantasies, kinks, sexual identities and fortify connections with themselves and others based on their values. You will playfully cultivate new ways of being, relating and communicating with your beloved. I invite individual explorers, couples and polycules to embrace their own odyssey through trust-building activities, emotional vulnerability exercises, body awareness and creative guided interactions mirroring the challenges and triumphs of ancient myths.
