Ecstasy of Impermanence is an embodied, death-literate retreat rooted in somatics, tantra, mysticism, and community. This work uses the living body—not doctrine or belief—as the primary teacher for cultivating intimacy with all of life, including dying.
Participants will safely learn to:
- Be with all of you.
- Receive from the intelligence of YOUR body.
- Feel yourself as infinite.
- Begin to trust your system.
- Unwind ever so gently, barriers that keep you from the rapture of aliveness.
- Experience the village in and around you.

Somatic Practices
It is our birthright to have a tangible, felt sense of our own divinity. As we tune into the body’s innate intelligence, we awaken this experience through body-based meditations, authentic movement, and somatic attunement. Guided by practices such as slowing down, tracking pleasure, enlivening life force, heart and breath coherence, and sound practices like humming, chanting, or singing, we discover flow state, which opens layers of knowing within. We also learn to ride the natural waves of emotion—including fear and grief—as they arise.
NOTE: No previous movement experience is necessary but a willingness to be connected with your body, your intuition, and sense of experimentation and play are required. Folks with mobility challenges are welcome; you choose your level of engagement based on your capacity.
Mystical Practices
It’s always been the job of the mystics to remind us that the fear of death is an illusion. That in fact, death is a friend. Through heart- and soul-centered prompts, poetry, and contemplation, inviting eros into the our places of challenge, we’re invited into gentle inquiry and reflection—opening ways of knowing that often lie beyond the rational mind. As we explore how our archetypal selves move in relationship with the boundlessness of creation; we unwind, organically, softening the barriers that keep us from the rapture of aliveness. This is an invitation into the right hemisphere’s vast and imaginal realm—a trapdoor to the eternal—where images and guidance arise to support us.
Note: This work draws from tantric and mystical lineages that understand eros as the animating intelligence of life itself. Eros is defined not as sexuality, but as aliveness, sensation, longing, and intimacy with existence.
Community Practices
Community is a central pillar of this retreat. Through consent-based partner work, small-group exploration, inner–outer circle guided relating, and whole-group dialogue, participants enter supportive spaces that invite deep settling—through a lived experience of co-regulation, belonging, and safety within the context of our vulnerable humanity. Practices may also include facilitated Zegg Forum (a group integration process), platonic touch, and dance, offering multiple pathways for engagement.
Note: In community, we are reflected and informed by the processes of other humans who, like us, will die. This is invaluable: the living wisdom of the group grounds our insights, helps us metabolize our discoveries, and allows transformation to take root in the whole of who we are.
“Lee presentation style is exceedingly engaging and the hours flew by in part because her group facilitation is skillful- affirming, compassionate and with appropriate humor.”
“Lee, you’re the BEST! Thank you for who you are and how you have changed us.”
“From the opening moments of the workshop, Lee’s wisdom is apparent. Even though zoom, she connects and inspires as through she is in your room. It’s clear that she is a master of all she presents.”

I define Tantra as learning tune our instrument (our body/mind) to the highest frequency we can so that we can ride the waves of life and death with more alignment, grace, and trust.
It is through awakening our subtle energies that we can effectively unwind the patterns in us that no longer serve. We do that through micro-movement, tracking pleasure, breath, and sound.
The body is the portal to all wisdom. By engaging it, we access a mystical framework that is designed to help us more fully inhabit our form and paradoxically touch our infinity. It is here we can embrace life’s impermanence.
- Revel in your form while also dissolving into the infinite.
- Track sensation, follow desire as a living compass, restore trust in your system.
- Expand your capacity to feel grief, pleasure, fear, and love—and remain present in Self.
- Play in the realms of coherence.
- Become both a spiritual animal—discovering ecstasy through the contemplation of mortality.
- Dwell in and savor your birthright of belonging—to yourself, to others, to the field, to the great mystery of life and death.
- Really feel, in your senses and body, that you are not separate from anything or anyone.
“So many of us fill our lives being busy with supporting others. Really, we can all benefit from the experience of pausing, breathing, and being in the presence of an exceptional coach and guide. Lee’s support has helped deepen my own journey.”
“Lee makes it easy and accessible to be in conversation about the charged subject of death, and she conveys a sense of the sacred passage of death in an entirely non-dogmatic way. I highly recommend her work to people of all ages and stages of life.”
“I can’t express how important this work is in all of our lives, to help reframe pain and suffering in the death space into what it is—the birth/life/death/rebirth cycle. Thank you, Lee, for your work and commitment to this important learning for all of us.”
Hi, I’m Lee Warren
I am a Death and Tantra educator and counsellor, somatic guide, embodiment practitioner, and author of Dying Together: The Art of Community Deathcare due out in Fall of 2026.
For more than a decade I’ve been offered courses on end-of-life, community, and sacred embodiment. My work empowers people to transform the fear of mortality into intimacy with existence by blending practical and mystical approaches that unravel death phobic cultural narratives.
These practices live at the intersection of death and Tantra, which encourages us to use the sacred vehicle of our bodies to explore the blueprint of our own divinity.
