THE EROTIC FINISHING SCHOOL RETREAT
2nd-6th November 2026.
The Peak District, UK
LIBERATE YOUR LIFE FORCE
The Erotic is a resource of feminine power that lives in the joy and fulfilment of a woman’s being.
THE EXPERIENCE
From 2nd–6th November 2026, you will be immersed in the raw beauty of Wildboarclough in the Peak District, an untamed landscape that invites deep renewal. Within this secluded, luxurious setting, you’ll be guided through transformative content, practices and rituals, in a wise and supportive circle of women.
A traditional finishing school was built on ideals of charm, grace, and obedience, shaping women to conform and please. These inherited expectations still linger, hindering our creativity and constraining the fullness of who we are.
THE EROTIC FINISHING
SCHOOL LIBERATES
Here, you are invited to break the mould.
Instead of discipline rooted in fear, we cultivate
devotion rooted in pleasure.
Instead of rules that constrain, we explore rituals that liberate.
Instead of silencing the body, we honour it as the
source of truth, wisdom, and leadership.
This is where your desire is prioritised, not suppressed.
Where the unbound woman in you gets to lead
her life fuelled by the erotic.
“Recognizing the POWER of the EROTIC within our lives can give us the ENERGY to pursue genuine CHANGE within our world.”
Audre Lorde
At the Erotic Finishing school, you are invited to:
REMEMBER your birthright to pleasure and the ancestral wisdom of the feminine.
RELEASE the layers of scarcity and suppression that have dimmed your vitality.
REAWAKEN your erotic self, alive in your body, fully present, and powerful in your leadership.
A portion of all profits will be donated to Equality Now, supporting their global efforts to end sex trafficking and sexual exploitation. You are not only reigniting your own life force, you are contributing to a movement that protects and empowers women and girls worldwide.
THE LOCATION
Within the wild beauty of the Peak District National Park, Wildboarclough is a secluded village where the landscape feels steeped in quiet magic.

The landscape invites you to slow down and reconnect with your intuition, your body and the elements.

About Nikki Armytage-Foy
Nikki is the founder of Electric Woman and The Erotic Finishing School, devoted to reclaiming the erotic as power, presence, and feminine liberation.
The vision for the EFS first arose while she was pregnant with her second daughter, to create an immersive experience for women to explore the erotic. Her mission: to help women shed conditioning, reconnect with their bodies, their desire and build a sisterhood that’s supportive rather than competitive.
For over 10 years, Nikki has guided hundreds of women through the realms of erotic intelligence and sexual empowerment. Her work draws from an exploration of tantra, orgasmic meditation, sexual shamanism, embodiment practices and the teachings of power, submission and dominance, all explored with integrity, curiosity and lived experience.
At the heart of Nikki’s work is a devotion to bringing the erotic out of the shadows, honouring it as a source of sovereignty. She sees women awakening this energy as a revolutionary force, illuminating the parts of themselves that have been silenced, reclaiming their pleasure, fire, and power, and extending that strength to other women.
The Erotic Finishing School Retreat is an invitation for women who feel the call to open, to explore, and to fully inhabit their bodies and their erotic nature.
“Working with Nikki showed me that SEX, DESIRE, and PLEASURE are sources of immense POWER. She created a safe, judgment-free space where I could EXPLORE and RECONNECT with myself. I now feel more CONFIDENT being exactly who I am and focused on what I truly want.”
Joe Rogers, Lawyer
FAQS
What is the focus of the retreat?
This is a four-day, four-night immersive experience devoted to exploring the erotic as power. Through guided practices, teachings, and group work, you will reconnect with yourself in a deeper way. This is an individual journey held in a group setting.
What do you mean by “the erotic”?
The erotic is not limited to sexuality, it is your life force. Erotic energy lives in your desire, your pleasure and your creativity. It is not simply sexual; it is the wisdom and joy you experience when you are living in the fullest expression of yourself. It is not something to learn, it is something to reclaim.
Is this a sex party?
No it is not a sex party. This is a group coaching retreat and opportunity for personal exploration, embodiment, and empowerment. We approach the erotic as a deeper connection to self.
Some practices may invite you into a more intimate relationship with your body and sensation. All participation is entirely optional, and you are always guided to move at your own pace, within your own boundaries.
Who is this retreat for?
This retreat is for women who are ready to reconnect with themselves on a deeper level, who are open-minded and self-aware. It’s for women who are already on the path of self-development and are curious to explore the power the erotic can bring to life, relationships and leadership.
It requires a capacity for emotional responsibility. This experience is designed to be supportive, but it may not be the right fit for everyone. We would not recommend this retreat for anyone who is currently navigating acute or unintegrated trauma or living with a serious mental health condition.
