The Embodied Sexual Leadership Training
Where good men become exceptional sexual leaders.
Asheville | July 8β12, 2026
A 5-Day Training in the Art of Sexual Leadership
There is a version of you that leads in sex with deep confidence β not from ego or performance, but from presence, desire, and a profound capacity for pleasure.
This retreat is designed to help you step into that version of yourself through daily training alongside a group of committed men.
This is an initiation β into a more liberated, grounded, and powerful relationship with your sexuality, your pleasure, and your leadership.
A PERSONAL INVITATION FROM TAYLOR:
Sexual leadership isnβt something you’re born with β it’s something you train.
Limited to 16 men so the work can stay deep, direct, and personal.
MOST MEN WERE NEVER TRAINED TO LEAD IN SEX.
πΈ- Most men try to figure this out alone.
πΈ – Most men were taught only to perform, to please, and to hope they’re doing it right.
πΈ- If part of you knows there’s something deeper available in your sex lifeβ¦ you’re right.
πΈ- This training exists to give you what most men never receive: real training in sexual leadership.
And here’s the truth…
Lack of training isn’t weakness, and it’s not a personal failure.
Modern society didn’t teach you. Culture handed you performance pressure, the negative influence of porn, and the silent expectation that you should somehow know exactly what to do β without making any mistakes.
So most men have gone at this alone, and most likely built tension in the body β where confidence should live.
The deeper truth:
Most men carry a quiet, private fear of being “found out.” A fear that something during sex will reveal they aren’t as masterful as they’d like to be. Again, this is not a personal failure. This is about training.
THE WORLD NEEDS HEALTHY SEXUAL LEADERSHIP FROM MEN
Be real with yourself…
- Do you hesitate to fully express desires? Especially the edgy kinds?
- Does sexual intensity throw you off center?
- Can you guide your partner into a sexual experience where their nervous system gets to completely relax and let go?
- Are you able to ravish and sexually dominate your partner in the moments they deeply desire it? With integrity, love and deep attunement?
- Is your sex life just acceptable β but you know there’s something greater?
Sexual leadership is a skill.
It’s built the same way any other skill is built β through practice, challenge, and real guidance. You wouldn’t expect to become a great athlete by reading about it. This is no different.
WHEN A MAN HAS ACTUALLY BEEN TRAINED, IT SHOWS.
His sex is a gift.
πΈ – He expresses desires clearly. Even the desires that once felt too edgy β in a way that turns his partner on.
πΈ – He expertly guides his lovers body and nervous system into into deep safety & pleasure
πΈ – He initiates without second-guessing himself
He savors sexual intensity β without rushing or tensing up.
He is not performative. He doesn’t force it. He exudes confidence without trying. His lover feels it. His community feels it. And most of all, he feels it.
His presence shines.
And his confidence moves beyond the bedroom β into how he negotiates. How he holds a room. How he asks for what he wants in his work and his relationships. Because after training, it lives in his body, not just his intentions.
This is about you becoming the kind of man whose presence changes the room β and the bedroom.
You can be this man.
And to get there, this work is best done in a group. In connection with other men who are committed to creating success in this area of their lives too.
“Taylor has the most comprehensive system I’ve seen for the modern man to own his body and sexuality. Every woman I’ve had sex with after this work said it was some of the best they’d ever had.”
β Nathaniel S.
What Five Days of Real Training Actually Looks Like
This isn’t theory.
Over five days in the mountains of Asheville, you’ll train alongside a group of committed men through primal movement, advanced somatic practices, embodied leadership training, and real-time feedback.
You’ll expand your sexual capacity and unwind patterns that may have held you back from fully stepping into your leadership.
This work happens through five core training areas we’ll step into together throughout the retreat.
Embodied Leadership Training
We won’t just talk about leading β we’ll practice it every day. Initiating. Directing. Holding energy under pressure. Being challenged while you lead β so you bring real skill back into your life, not just insight.
Primal Movement & Physical Challenge
Every day we’ll practice animal-based movement, strength work, and martial arts-inspired partner drills β to wake up the wild animal you truly are. It will be intense, physical, and genuinely fun.
Nervous System Training
Through advanced somatic practices, you’ll learn how your body reacts under pressure β and how to stay steady instead of tightening or trying to control. You’ll also learn how to receive deeply without losing yourself.
Shame Release Work
You’ll be guided through processes to unwind sexual shame and the unconscious patterns that have quietly limited your sexual expression & leadership. You’ll learn to own your desires β cleanly, confidently, without apology.
Sexual Energy Training
Through practices influenced by Taoist & yogic sexuality, you’ll become even more masterful with your ability to understand, direct and lead with your sexual energy – in a way that is full of integrity and heart.
Real work. Sustainable Change.

Meet Your Instructor
Taylor Johnson has spent over seven years working directly with men to develop sexual capacity, embodied confidence, and leadership. He has guided over 1,000 men through this work β in online programs, workshops, and in-person retreats.
His approach is physical, direct, and rooted in both somatic leadership training and established sexual development traditions, including:
- Somatic Leadership Training: Embodied decision-making and intentional action under pressure.
- Modern Nervous System Science: Understanding arousal, regulation, and emotional stability.
- Primal Movement Practices: Developing strength, mobility, and physical presence through the body.
- Taoist Sexual Practices: Breath control, arousal regulation, and sexual vitality cultivation.
- Yogic Sexuality: Presence, attunement, and embodied awareness in intimacy.
- BDSM Dynamics: Consent, psychological safety, containment, and attuned dominance.
- Personal Practice: Doing this work in his own life. Learning, growing, and making his own mistakes along the way too.
He doesn’t teach from a distance. He trains in the room with you β on your team.

This isn't passive learning
You will leave a changed man (not just with new ideas & concepts).
And this will be a small group, by design.
This retreat is limited to 16 men.
Large enough to be a team, small enough to get direct & personal training every day. No spectators. Just men who are serious about growth – willing to train hard, laugh hard, and build something real together.
The retreat property is surrounded by forest, with a beautiful river running through the land, swimming areas, hot tubs, and miles of hiking trails.
And you get to be restored too...
Growth works best when challenge and recovery are both present.
There’ll be time in nature to down-regulate your nervous system. Cold water to reset your body. Space between sessions to integrate what’s shifting. You’ll eat well β chef-prepared meals, every day. You’ll rest deeply. And you’ll be held in a structure that’s strong enough to actually do this work inside of.

Before, During, and After...
The entire structure of this training is designed to create lasting change that integrates into your every day life (this won’t just be a peak experience).
Before
One month before the retreat, you'll receive a set of guided exercises to prepare your body, mind & nervous system for the work we'll do together in-person. We don't start from zero β we start from readiness. Two weeks before the retreat, the group will meet live in a video conference to begin building cohesion & group practice.
During
Five days of immersive, embodied training. Leadership practice. Physical challenge. Pattern release. Intensity. Play. Rejuvenation. Integration.
After
Two live integration calls to help you apply what we've built in the retreat β into your relationships, your sex life, and your daily life. And also...

This training is built for a specific man
Not every man is ready for this. And that’s okay.
This is for you if:
- You know there’s more confidence, depth, and leadership available in your sexuality β and you’re done waiting for it to show up on its own
- You are willing to train your body and nervous system, not just read about it
- You can handle being challenged and witnessed without collapsing or posturing
- You value integrity, personal responsibility, and respect
- You are open to both intensity and genuine play
This retreat is not for you if:
- You are looking for sexual encounters with other participants
- You are in active psychological crisis or need clinical therapeutic support
- You want quick techniques without real embodied work
- You hold contempt toward women or believe men are inherently superior
“Now I’m 100% confident day in and day out around sexuality. I know I have all the tools to approach any scenario with ease β instead of how I used to feel, which was in fear and resistance.”
β Matthew L.
Consider what most men spend trying to solve this on their own.
Many years of trial & error, and lost time in meaningful sexual relationships.
Therapy that circles the issue but never quite touches it. Courses that give information but no real transformation.
Direct personal sexual leadership coaching that costs at minimum $8,000-$15,000 over many months.
A vacation that resets you for a week before everything snaps back.
This will be different.
This retreat is five days of immersive, direct, embodied training β with preparation before and integration after β as part of a group of sixteen men who are all serious about growth. Led by an instructor who has spent gone on his own journey with this work, and spent the last 7+ years leading this kind of work with men.

Why I Teach This Work…
If you’re considering joining this retreat, I want you to know something about me.
I’ve struggled with just about every sexual challenge most modern men face. Premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, porn addiction, sexual anxiety, deep shame, fear of expressing my desires, fear of approaching women I was attracted to, fear of being “toxic,” and uncertainty around how to sexually ravish & dominate women (in the ways they have deeply wanted in my consensual relationships)…
So please know that whatever I guide you through is informed by all the teachers I’ve studied with, the best science available, AND my own humbling journey to overcome what felt like impossible challenges – so I could actually thrive in sex.
And Iβm still learning.
After I overcame my main sexual challenges when I was younger (PE, ED, porn addiction, anxiety etc), I realized that while I could have great sex, there was still something missing – something essential I still needed as a manβ¦
Shame, hesitation, and a lack of full ownership of my desires still held me back.
And I realized something important.
I didnβt just need better sexual skills. I needed leadership training.
So I enrolled in a number of in-person leadership development programs (where I trained alongside very high-achieving humans & CEOs of major companies), and when I started to practice bringing those concepts into the sexual realms, I realized this was one of the most important missing pieces in all the sexuality training I had taken, practiced and later led.
Today, as I imagine heading into this retreat with you, I feel thrilled to guide you through some of the most incredible processes I know β to help you grow into the sexually thriving man you know you can be β in a way that creates lasting change.
It feels like one of the biggest honors and joys to share this work with you, and if you choose to join me this July, I look forward to meeting you in person.
Thank you for being on this journey with me.
– Taylor
What You Should Know Before Applying
Clear answers to the most common questions men ask before joining.
Is this retreat sexual?
There are no exercises involving sexual touch between participants. Sexual activity between participants is not permitted. We gather to build sexual capacity and leadership β so you can bring that increased capacity back into your own intimate life outside of the retreat.
Will there be nudity?
There will be two specifically structured and educational exercises during the retreat where nudity is optional for the purpose of personal development. Participation in any exercise involving nudity is always optional. Outside of retreat programming, nudity is optional when swimming in designated private areas of the property.
What kind of men usually attend?
Men 25-55, professionals, entrepreneurs, growth-oriented.Β
Do I need previous experience with this kind of work?
No. Beginners and experienced practitioners will both benefit from this training.
However, this is not an entry-level or technique-based program. You will be challenged to grow. Previous experience with personal development, communication, emotional intelligence, leadership, or menβs work may deepen your experience β but it is not required.
How physically demanding will this be?
The primal movement practices are designed to be physically challenging, but they can be adjusted to meet most physical needs/limitations.
What if I'm single? (Or in relationship)?
This training will serve you well – regardless of relationship status.
If youβre single, youβll build skills and capacity to bring into future relationships. If youβre partnered, youβll have a direct arena in your life to apply what you build.
Will there be physical contact with other men?
Yes. Many exercises include non-sexual physical contact as part of embodied leadership training. All touch is structured, intentional, and clearly guided.
Is this a βfeel-goodβ relaxation retreat?
No. This retreat will challenge you. You will feel discomfort in certain exercises β thatβs part of growth. Leadership is built by facing your edges, not avoiding them. There will be downtime for rest and restoration, but the primary focus is training and expansion.
What does a typical day look like?
- Morning movement practice
- Large brunch
- Morning training session
- Midday lunch break (rest, swimming, hiking, integration)
- Afternoon session
- Dinner
- Evening session
What are the accommodations like?
Participants will stay in a private mountain lodge 40 minutes outside Asheville. The lodge is beautiful, and is a deeply inspiring structure to be in. Premium shared rooms include one king or queen bed (2 men per room, 1 man per bed). Additional participants will stay in a comfortable bunk room, or may choose to camp onsite. All accommodations include access to shared bathrooms, common spaces, and the full retreat property.
What about dietary needs?
Meals will be prepared onsite by a professional chef. We can accommodate the vast majority of dietary needs. After acceptance and deposit, youβll receive a form to submit any dietary requirements.
Is this therapy?
No.This retreat is educational and experiential in nature, and Taylor is not a licensed therapist. While emotional material may arise during training, this is not a therapy program or clinical treatment environment. If you are in active psychological crisis or require stabilizing therapeutic support, this retreat is not a substitute for professional care, and this retreat will not be a good fit for you.
Travel logistics & retreat location?
Travel (flights and ground transportation) is the responsibility of the participant. The closest airport is Asheville Regional Airport (AVL), approximately 1 hour from the property. Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) is approximately 3 hours away. Detailed travel information will be provided upon acceptance.
Cancellation Policy?
The $750 deposit is non-refundable. Your payment(s) beyond the deposit are non-refundable. If you need to cancel and your spot can be filled from the waitlist, you may receive a refund minus the deposit. Please apply only if you are prepared to fully commit.
In the event that the retreat must be canceled due to unforeseen circumstances beyond the organizerβs control (including natural disaster, government restrictions, or venue emergency), all payments beyond the deposit will be refunded. The deposit will be retained to cover preparation, administrative, and pre-retreat programming costs. However, you may apply the deposit as a credit toward a future retreat or training within 12 months.
