‘Orgasmic meditation’ compound just listed for $12M
Published By admin with Comments 0
The owners of OneTaste, a San Francisco company whose “orgasmic meditation” retreats were made infamous by a Netflix documentary and a federal indictment, are selling their 162-acre Mendocino compound for $12 million.
A recently posted listing for “The Land,” a 30,000-square-foot “retreat center” about 150 miles north of San Francisco in the community of Philo, makes no mention of the controversial empire that once called it home. Instead, it touts the property’s “diverse accommodations” — nine eco-cabin units, nine houses, and 12 seasonal glamping tents — along with a “modern yoga studio” and “elegant meditation hall.”
“The Land is a state-of-the-art wellness eco-retreat center built for hosting events and retreats in the heart of the beautiful Anderson Valley,” the listing states, noting that SoulCycle, Louis Vuitton, Samasource, and Giphy are among the companies that have used the property for events.
Bob Wilms, a representative for the property owner, confirmed it was the site of OneTaste’s notorious orgasmic meditation retreats.
“The vision of The Land was for it to be a nexus for spiritual growth and for service,” Wilms said. “From the outset, there were OneTaste retreats held there.”

OneTaste, founded in 2004 by writer Nicole Daedone, touted itself as an educational organization teaching women to raise their consciousness and sexual empowerment through masturbation.
But the business imploded in 2018 after Bloomberg Businessweek published an exposé in which former employees said the company they were forced into working long hours and coerced into sexual servitude. The 2022 Netflix documentary “Orgasm Inc: The Story of OneTaste” also details the allegations.
Daedone was arrested in 2023 on charges of conspiracy to commit forced labor and is awaiting trial. She has denied any wrongdoing. In a statement to The Standard, a spokesperson for her attorney called the Bloomberg story “riddled with inaccuracies” and said the charge against her was “built on shaky ground.”
“Despite all the sensationalist headlines about ‘federal indictments of sexual and financial coercion,’ the reality is far less dramatic,” the spokesperon said. “The only federal charge in this case is forced labor conspiracy. Nothing more.”
