The 2026 Summit is wrapped. The connection does not stop here.
Two days of education and celebration are behind us. Monthly gatherings, the Spring Summit, and first word on the 2027 Summit are ahead. Come as you are. Welcome home.
What is next in Raleigh.
You don’t have to attend everything. Come to what calls you.
Pause & Play
Play first. Connection follows.
Each gathering begins by slowing down. Through light movement, simple grounding practices, and playful experiences, we create a space where people can settle into themselves before connecting with others.
Beyond Small Talk
Conversations that matter.
We believe everyone has a story worth hearing.
Spring Summit
An evening of lecture and conversation.
Professional educators and speakers exploring relationships, embodiment, connection, and what helps us become more capable of meeting the intensity of being human.
Fall Summit + Day of Exploration & Adventure
A larger Bliss Boogie experience bringing together education, embodied practice, movement, community, exploration, and play.
2027 · date to be announced · the list hears first
Times, places and registration for each gathering are still being set. Anything added before January goes to the list first.
What it was like.
Friday, sixty seats at Willow House Coffee, sold out. Saturday at Lakeside Retreats, ten in the morning to one at night, sixteen teachers and three classes running at a time.
What was taught
Some of Saturday’s classes.
After dark
Then the night.
Education while the sun was up. After dark, music, movement and honest company until one in the morning, all of it opt-in and all of it sober. Your no is as sexy as your yes.
Come exactly as you are.
Two days of teaching, movement, music and honest company. You step out of your week and try on new ways of being with yourself, with other people, with your own body.
Come curious about relationships, pleasure, your nervous system, creativity — or come because you are tired of performing and want a weekend where you do not have to.

02No performance to uphold.

Is this for me?
The four we get asked most. The rest live on the FAQ page.
Can I attend alone?
Is there really no bar?
Will nude people be walking around?
How old do I have to be?
We take this part seriously.
Sober, 18+, and consent-first — not as a disclaimer, as the whole point. We wrote it all down: how we ask, how we hear no, how we look after each other.
“Safety is sexy.”
Welcome home.
First word on the 2027 Summit dates and tickets, the Spring Summit, and each monthly gathering as it opens. Nothing else.
