FAQ
-
This experience is welcome to people of marginalized genders, including women, non-binary folks, gay men, & trans people of all genders who are curious about deepening confidence or stage presence. If sharing your pronouns is important to you, please do.
As long as you are comfortable and open to not being guided step by step on how to “dance” and are open to engaging with others in sensual movement exercises you are welcome. I am looking for people who are respectful and considerate of others boundaries and open to being mindful around consent.
-
Yes, as you scroll up you'll see the payment options! The whole payment must be completed by July 1st otherwise we won't be able to move forward with your attendance & no refund will be given. I want this to be accessible while still maintaining respect for my time. If you need a more specific payment plan email me slitherwitchmovement@gmail.com and I will try to be flexible.
-
All payments/sign ups are non refundable so please keep this in mind upon signing up. Attendance is important as the weekend relies upon an even number of sign ups (expect some partner exercises) so your attendance is crucial if you commit to signing up. If something comes up and you can’t attend you are welcome to find someone to transfer your ticket to.
-
No, this is not a choreographed or technique oriented dance intensive. It’s accessible to anyone who can move their hips & spine comfortably.
As long as you are comfortable and open to not being guided step by step on how to “dance” and are open to engaging with others in sensual movement exercises you are welcome.
-
It will be a chance to witness & be witnessed by others. You'll be guided through exercises designed to challenge your comfort in being seen. You're not expected to touch/do anything you don't feel safe doing. Consent is a huge priority & will be discussed thoroughly. Communication will be mandatory.
-
Im a slut for details so I'll send out plenty of prep emails prior elaborating on this further. You are mostly expected to bring yourself, an open mind, knee pads, a journal if you’d like, and a few outfits that make you feel like your best self.

Only 16.
11 for workshop only, 5 for housing accommodation.
About your Guide, Devyn
I have been exploring in the realm of sensuality for over 10 years having started as a boudoir photographer because I felt a calling to help others feel beautiful in their bodies. After being introduced to pole dance over 7 years ago I discovered sensual movement and have been a stripper for 4 years. With my years of experience and practical understanding of the transformative power of sensuality, I have been using it as a tool to help individuals deepen their connection to their bodies and cultivate embodied confidence. Im deeply passionate about helping others access more confidence because I have worked so hard to step into mine. I have discovered that there is something powerful and transformative in allowing yourself to be vulnerable enough to be seen. This has been at the core of my work for years and was the focus of my last sensual movement experience Invoke. I can’t wait to dive back into it with you at SUMMON.

“Devyn is a beautiful example of what it means to live authentically and unapologetically, and she leads with a graceful confidence. My time with her has quite literally changed my life. At her first retreat INVOKE I learned powerful somatic tools to reconnect me with my sensuality and the body the world taught me to hate. I reclaimed parts of myself I thought were lost and I've made memories with other incredible women that I'll carry with me for a lifetime. Devyn is so gifted at creating these magical spaces and I could feel the thoughtfulness that went into every little detail. Every woman I know deserves an experience like this. I can't endorse it enough”
