Temple of Sacred Sexuality
Ancient Egyptian sex magick
Understanding, through hermetic practise, how your left and right hand are snakes which, when activated through the pineal gland, can dramatically amplify your orgasm.
We’ll be using self pleasure to harness the moment and waves of this particular orgasm in order to manifest your wildest dreams.
Ayahuasca is a feminine sentient plant being, often de-queerified in the hands of hetero normative shamans. Her use can have potent benefits for healing the specific wounds of feeling unwelcome on this planet common to the queer experience, but it’s not everyone’s medicine.

Embodying snake
The serpent is an ancient symbol of transformation, renewal and sexuality, and snake medicine connects us with our ability to heal, renew and transform.
From these master teachers we can learn how to shed old layers, outworn beliefs and patterns that hold us back.

Emotional mastery - Tools for life, love & s*x
Emotional mastery invites you to transform any emotions that have you feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, lonely or even just sxually frustrated.
“E-motions” are energy in motion, as we allow ourselves to feel & process them, they lose their power over us & allow us to be in a calm & relaxed state, which is our birthright. When we feel calm & relaxed, we are able to connect from a deeper place & experience true intimacy with ourselves & others.
In this emotional mastery workshop, you will receive transmissions of powerful tools for energy transformation & nervous system regulation so you can own any disowned or suppressed emotions that have controlled you. You will emerge feeling lighter, calmer, freer & with deeper Self connection. Just like a caterpillar metamorphosed into a beautiful light butterfly, your emotional metamorphosis will allow you to let go of the burden that does not serve you, so as to set you free with more mastery over your life, love and sx.
These dynamic emotional mastery tools combine the teachings from tantric temple arts with the latest most potent evidence-based psychotherapeutic techniques.
The Process:
Opening circle, short introduction, group verbal share, expert guidance of selected emotional mastery tools, active practice of the tools – solo/dyads/groups, followed by an embodied sharing of your experience.
What to bring:
Yoga mat Blanket Pillow Bottle of water
Preparation:
The desire to fully surrender to the process for accelerated healing. Eat light beforehand
** No prior experience necessary **
