Unleash the creative. Free the feminine. Heal the world.


eros: The essential energy force that arises from our desire for connection with ourselves, others, and the world around us. It encompasses all of life, evokes beauty, and contributes to an understanding of essential truth. It seeks to unify masculine and feminine energies and manifests as creativity and genius.
The Eros Platform fosters conversations that explore how to meet the urgent needs of our time with creativity, humanity, and effectiveness. Eros bridges what is otherwise separate, serving as an essential catalyst for reimagining the world through a feminine lens. Together, we pave a path toward human flourishing, awakening the unique genius within each individual, institution, and cultural group to steward the world with compassion, connection, and play.

"OneTaste programs accelerated my life and jumped me ahead in all areas of my life. I was 50 years old when I first started. I had left my career job as an engineer and I was set on reinventing myself in many ways. I didn’t have time to learn slowly and take a bunch of different courses. OneTaste’s programs taught me how to integrate all aspects of my life, from dating, business, personal development and family, all into one being. It was so fun and helpful to be supported by an amazing group of like minded individuals. I have been a certified Orgasmic Meditation coach and trainer now for several years and I also own my own soil restoration company. My life is filled with rich relationships I formed during my time with OneTaste with other erotic beings. I’m so glad I decided to take these programs through OneTaste. Truly life changing in many ways."

“To learn through the nature of the waves, to love the water itself, as both the crest and the crash. This is artistic mastery–the way the ocean works equally with the creation and the destruction of form. All returns to the depths.”
