As with most training, you get out of it what you put in. When you choose to pour your whole self in – to participate with vulnerability and honesty – you can transform any part of your life.

Body issues have plagued women for centuries but are especially prevalent now, in this time of relentless social media and heightened comparison thinking. This program is the single most effective way to heal from body issues because we address the underlying shame at their root, and learn to transform our negative patterns through pleasure. In VPBC, we source solutions in the safety of sisterhood – a community of women where we are ALL dealing with the very same problems and healing together.

Anyone who has engaged in personal development work knows there is always more to learn. This is a journey into the most basic aspects of our feminine power, to own your exquisite beauty, to become fully sexually expressed, and to replace shame and guilt with vibrating aliveness. VPBC will take you as deep as you allow it to and the community will support you, nurture you, and take you higher along the way.

As mothers, we never have enough time. And of course, as women, we have been taught to prioritize our partners, kids, families and work above ourselves. In VPBC we will learn how to make the Mama happy (because we all know what happens when we DON’T). You will learn that it does not require a huge time investment to create pleasure for yourself – it is simply a shift of priority or thought pattern that keeps us Mamas eating crumbs rather than pulling up a chair and dining at the banquet table of life.

VPBC teaches you to embrace your desires and articulate them to your loved ones with clarity and respect. As you learn to tune into your inner voice and beauty, you will gain confidence in all areas of your life. And we all know how sexy confidence is! Every relationship in your life will transform as you transform.

All of my LGBTQ+ sisters are appreciated and embraced in Bootcamp. Every woman is welcomed here, honored here, and celebrated here. Cis-gendered, queer, bi-sexual, non-binary, and trans women – anyone who has felt outsider in terms of her free expression – will find a home inside this classroom. I work to create a safe space for each of my students, where they are free to express and explore every facet of their human experience.

Masculine and feminine energies are at work in all individuals, in all relationships, and in the world in general. The majority of us have been taught so much about our masculine energies, and very, very little about the feminine, resulting in a challenging imbalance both individually and collectively. Virtual Pleasure Bootcamp will rebalance your inner scales.

I will do my best to pay tribute to all the different constructs as I teach. And, for clarity, I will use men and women as reference points. My goal is to allow you to crystallize the differences between masculine and feminine energies, regardless of which bodies they’re showing up in. That way, all of us can begin to truly enjoy the polarity between – and the union of – these two forces in our world.

Yes. And we want to be so clear that the curriculum of our Womanly Arts courses comes from Mama Gena’s extensive study, research, and experimentation, as understood through her lived experience as a heterosexual-ish, cisgender, white woman. That experience can’t be entirely teased out from the work and it means the School will never, ever claim to be expert in the experience of transgender women (or of non-heterosexual or racialized women), or that we won’t mess up. But Regena is committed to learning. She is committed to holding space for all. She is committed to stoking every woman’s desire. She is committed to teaching us all to honor the feminine and in so doing raise us all higher.

Because so many women have been taught that our bodies – and particularly our sexual anatomy – are objectionable (and often, even, unnameable), an important aspect of the Womanly Arts curriculum is addressing body-shame. Every VPBC student will be challenged to adapt the curriculum to fit her own sense of self but differences in anatomy may be an additional complexity for transgender women.

Regena is a white woman and will never know all of what it means to be a woman of color – and she is the first to admit it. She is on her own ongoing anti-racism learning journey (along with all team members at The School of Womanly Arts) because sisterhood requires nothing less.

While Regena is the teacher, sisterhood has no hierarchy. We meet in a metaphorical circle, and every woman’s story and every woman’s experience and every woman’s identity is valued. The VPBC classroom is one of the most diverse gatherings of women on earth, and the participants co-create the experience. Imperfect, human, and extraordinary.

A turned-on woman is a woman in her highest power. When you learn to connect with your source energy, you are in flow. When you are in flow, your ability to ask for what you want, stand for your value, and live your vision is exponentially expanded. Thousands and thousands of women who have done this work have reported significant raises at their jobs, some quit their jobs and began new careers, some finally wrote the book or started the company they had been longing to create. What you make possible and how you expand is up to you – but you can expect tremendous velocity in the professional realm as part of this course.

Probably the greatest asset in a woman’s life is her community. And most of us lack a true sisterhood, where we can support and be supported in all of our desires and dreams. Most of us are plain lonely. This community will change everything in the way that only true sisterhood and connection can. One of the core strengths of this program is its unique emphasis on mutual accountability. You will learn to see each other as allies in this process of self-discovery, learning how to support, challenge, and show up for one another in meaningful ways.

Even when my life is great I know there is a level that is even more glorious, where I flow with greater confidence, exploring myself and my relationships more deeply. This is your time to embrace your power, your sexuality, and your desires on a whole new level. 

This is not the same course. The bonus you received was a series of eight audio recordings from back in 2015, meant for the purpose of self-study. Virtual Pleasure Bootcamp 2021 is a full-fledged online program, which includes live training calls with Mama Gena every Monday, twice-weekly practice calls, three levels of homework to choose from, student Q&A, and an online community on Facebook. While the course content may feel familiar, the experience of participating is entirely different. Not to mention that we’ve freshened our curriculum to reflect the current cultural climate, and all that we’re navigating on an international scale! Whether you received the bonus or not, we recommend joining VPBC 2021 as a way to deepen your learning with the vital addition of real-time lessons, global community, and virtual support structures!

We understand that VPBC is an investment – one that requires planning and conviction. We want every woman who enrolls to feel their full yes before joining us on this journey.

With that in mind, you have the option to pay the investment in full, or to choose the 3-month payment plan. The first payment will be withdrawn at the time of registration, and the 2nd and 3rd payments will process automatically every 30 days. Payments are accepted in the form of any major credit/debit card. 

You have seven days from the date of registration to get a full refund for whatever you’ve paid. After seven days, your tuition is no longer refundable. 

The reading and exercises take between an hour and three hours depending on the level you choose to participate at. We encourage you to attend the weekly one-hour training calls live. (Note: these will also be recorded and sent via email). There are two practice calls each week, you may choose to attend one or both. Each call is 45 minutes in length.

The VPBC classroom experience is designed to be both interactive and individual. Mama Gena facilitates each of the live training calls, presenting on a wide range of topics, leading exercises, and initiating dialogue – rest assured, you will get a lot of Mama.
Should you desire to share your story, you will have multiple opportunities to be heard and witnessed throughout the course – in practice calls, smaller paired shares, or the online community. Raise your hand during a training call and Mama Gena may call on you, but if she doesn’t, somehow you will still always hear the story you needed to hear. It’s pretty amazing!

One of the core strengths of this program is its unique emphasis on sisterhood. If you’re looking for an individual coaching program, this may not be the right fit. But if your goal is to learn from Mama Gena while connecting deeply with other women, VPBC offers just that – a community of practice and unparalleled support.

There are eight live training calls with Mama Gena throughout the course. These take place every Monday and will include a teaching section, followed by live Q&A and group participation. There are also 16 practice calls, hosted by seasoned Pleasure Revolutionaries, that you can choose to attend.

The practice calls are led by our team of Pleasure Revolutionaries and give you the time and space to deepen your understanding of the Arts inside community. Calls are every Tuesday at 6 p.m. ET and every Wednesday at 10 a.m. ET. You can attend one or both!

The importance of attending all eight live training calls cannot be overstated. We urge you to make the most of your VPBC experience by being present each week – even if that means making space in your otherwise busy schedule. We know it’s hard, but it’s so worth it.

In the event that conflicts arise, you can use the homework and audio recordings to catch up on past material. We also suggest contacting your fellow students to practice the tools that you missed. If you’re willing to get creative, there are lots of ways to stay caught up and still have a satisfying VPBC experience!

Once you register, you will receive a welcome email within 48 hours, which includes training call dates, practice call dates, and the dial-in info to access each of our weekly calls. If you do not receive your welcome email within three days of registering, please email info@mamagenas.com to let us know and share the email address you used to register for the Bootcamp course.

If social media sites like Facebook are not your thing, we completely understand! Like all of our resources, the online community is not mandatory and will not make or break your experience.

That said, Facebook is the easiest way to stay plugged-in to the tools, community, and course materials. If you’re not tech-savvy, our staff members are happy to assist you in setting up an account and successfully navigating the website. To keep things separate, some students have created anonymous accounts for themselves just to participate in the group. If privacy is a concern, please trust that we take every precaution to ensure that the group’s content is only accessible to our current students. Whether you choose to use Facebook or not, we are here to help and have your best interests at heart!

There are three levels of homework to choose from. Each level deepens your practice and can be undertaken at any time. Level 1 includes reading from our foundational text, Mama Gena's School of Womanly Arts, and completing the included exercises. Level 2 incorporates reading from The Pleasure Zone by Stella Resnick, and Level 3 offers additional exercises to take the readings deeper.

You will emerge from VPBC with lasting friendships, a rich understanding of your own self-worth, and specific tools for living your most turned-on life -- practices that you can fall back on again and again.

After graduation, the VPBC Facebook group that pertains to your particular session will close, but don’t fret! We’ll give you plenty of notice and plenty of time to save all of your most meaningful posts. You will be able to download any recordings, homework, or tool sheets you would like to keep.

It’s the last time VPBC will be running live. We’ll be transitioning the program to an evergreen format to give more women access to it at their leisure. We’re thrilled to continue to create new, exciting offerings where you’ll have the opportunity to take the work at SWA even deeper.
