Giving Back to the Feminine

A Sacred Partnership Between Rosewood Theater and the Akllawasi.

At Rosewood Theater, we believe the strip club can become a school. A place not of shame, but of remembering. A space where the erotic is sacred, and where both women and men come to reconnect with their deepest desires.

In a world increasingly disconnected from intimacy, touch, and truth —this work matters. We are on a mission to help humanity remember their erotic self—to bridge the gap between sensuality and spirit.

But remembrance doesn’t stop at our door.

What Is the Akllawasi?

The Akllawasi is an ancient concept from the Andes. It means “house of the chosen women.” A temple. A school. A sanctuary where women learn to work with their natural gifts— to become priestesses, healers, and noble leaders.

Today, a sacred Akllawasi is being built in Colombia by Tukuillapa, an Indigenous family dedicated to reviving these ancient teachings for the modern world. It will be a school for the feminine—where women return to their magic and mastery.

We are honored to support its creation.

Why This Matters to Us

Rosewood was never meant to be “just another strip club.” We’ve always been something else. A place of beauty, mystery, and transformation. A conscious cabaret you could say. A liminal space. A sanctuary for the curious. A personal prayer.

But prayers must be lived. And so, we give back. To those keeping the sacred alive. To those doing the hard work of rebuilding what colonization tried to erase. Supporting the Akllawasi is how we honor the feminine.
It’s how we turn profit into purpose. It’s how we live what we say.

Your Support

Every dollar raised goes directly to the family building the Akllawasi in Colombia. This is not a nonprofit. It’s not performative charity. It’s reciprocity.

If you’ve ever been moved, held, inspired, or transformed within the walls of Rosewood—this is your chance to give something back to the sacred feminine that lives in all of us.

We invite you to join us in this offering.

Ongoing Conversations with the Elders

Throughout 2025, Rosewood Theater will be sponsoring an ongoing series of intimate talks and private gatherings with Tukuillapa and his wife —both in New York City and at private retreats in upstate New York. These gatherings offer a rare opportunity to sit in conversation with a family who lives in deep reverence to the Earth, the feminine, and the ancient ways.

Together, we’ll explore themes of sexuality, creation, partnership, ancestral wisdom, and the sacred roles of men and women—through stories, songs, and ceremonial dialogue. These are not performances. They are living transmissions.
