Pleasure Salons: Embodied Creativity For Every Body

Good company, real change

Sink in to your creative practice with a Pleasure Salon, where the colorful mess of transformation is held in intimate 7-week containers.

Moon Circle begins January 11, 2027 · Sun Circle begins February 5, 2027

Unlock Your Genius

Make art, make friends, make a difference

All artists are welcome in the Salons. Bring your pottery, poems, website, music, nails, or whatever you are working on to these creative cauldrons. Salons are interactive, social, and artistic, but no previous experience with traditional arts is necessary. If you are feeling stuck or blocked, dissolve into the Moon Salon, if you are feeling ready to get feedback and push your craft, step into the Sun Salon. Each Salon is a Creative deep dive with a small collection of other passionate makers where you will have the opportunity to expand your skills and your abilities to work with others.

01Room for Everyone

Crafting a life of meaning

Salons balance the needs of individual project work, self-care and social creation. Circles are held every other week for showcasing, receiving feedback, and finding solutions to your most stubborn creative blocks. Both Salons feature opportunities to work collaboratively or alone as well as give dynamic feedback to others. Come ready to make good art (in whatever medium you choose), make good comments, and leave with good friends.

04Answers to your questions

Feeling shy?

Your safety is my priority too. Please also feel free to specify your pronouns up front.

What happens between calls?

You can reach me by email for between-calls support. Each participant also receives one special 30-minute SOS call to use at any point during the container. The SOS call offer expires with the closing Salon call.

Don’t know if you’re artsy enough?

You can work on a project already in motion or find a fresh way to express yourself with the group. We’ll make space for creativity, embodied self-expression, coaching, socializing, and feedback.

What about live circles in real life?

I love live, in-person work and I’m gathering a list of interest for live events on Oʻahu. If you are local and interested, reach out and I will get you on my founders list.

Not sure?

Let’s find you a perfect fit

Book a discovery call and we can talk through your creative work and which group may fit.

06Words from Past Circles

“I did not expect to have anything to say when I came to this circle. I didn’t think I would have anything to share about wounding in me, but I found it to completely reflect me in my life.”
— Melanie, after a Circle
“The class is the highlight of my week. Thoughtful questions and meaningful discussions, intertwined with energy work and yoga, have helped me wade through the wounds from my Mormon temple experience.”
— Jessica W., after 5 weeks of Salons
“The class was exactly what I needed. The combination of healing conversations, focus on unblocking chakras, and many types of yoga helped me deconstruct, release, and heal from religious/temple trauma.”
— Brooke C., after 5 weeks of Salons

07Bonus: 30-minute SOS Call

Support when you need it

Salon members are invited to schedule a 30-minute 1:1 SOS call with Ella at any point during the Salon container. Bring a question, a block, or a next step you’d like help finding.

Access ends after the closing Salon call.

*One personal SOS call per Salon member; schedule it before the closing Salon call.

To schedule your call, sign in to your personal portal with the email address you used for your Salon booking to choose an available 30-minute time.

08Start with respect

Enjoy every moment

Coaching can support wellbeing. It is not therapy or clinical treatment. If your mental health relies on medication or clinical care, please keep that care alongside the circle.

The Salons run on a few simple agreements. In circle, we:

  • allow ourselves to do things wrong
  • take turns and share with intention
  • tell only our own stories
  • stay curious
  • trust each person to be their own authority

What is shared in circle stays in circle. Between calls, participants have email support and a special 30-minute SOS call that can be used any time during the container. The SOS call offer expires with the closing Salon call.
