INTRODUCTION
Step into the fire of your own becoming. This is a full-bodied journey into transformation, where we go so deep into our humanity, to realize, we are God.
This 4-day temple immersion is a holy passage designed to sacredly destroy victimhood and awaken you as the creator of your life. Through sexual shamanism, shadow work, existential kink, rewilding, and embodiment practices, we will enter the depths of our humanity to remember we are whole.
REFLECTION QUESTIONS
Have you been enslaved by your own suffering, stuck in patterns of fear, shame, and disempowerment? Do you deny yourself the life, love, and freedom you deeply long for?
Are you afraid of being too much, too wild, too powerful, too sexual—too FREE? Are you ready to set fire to illusion and remember that you are the creator, that all the power is in your hands? Do you crave change so real, so raw, it shatters everything you thought you knew—so you can finally become who you ARE?
DESCRIPTION
Maia directly translates to "the Great Mother," an archetype embodying both the sacred destruction of illusions & victim consciousness and the empowerment of the creator. She guides us through the fire of transformation and into the sovereignty of our true essence.
Within this 4-day Shamanic-Sexual Temple Immersion, we invoke specific energies of the Great Mother: Kali, Lilith, Isis, & Aphrodite.
Our shadows are longing to be seen, loved, and integrated. The light and the dark are not at war—they are lovers seeking reunion. When we take radical ownership of our darkness, we reclaim our wholeness. We remember that life is not happening to us but through us.
This temple is a space to enter the taboo in order to find liberation. To meet the primal forces within you. To unlock your raw, unfiltered essence. To embody the power of your sexuality—not as something to be feared or shamed, but as a holy force of creation.
TEMPLE STRUCTURE
The 4 day immersion is flowing through 4 temples. In shamanic temples, we follow the deep alignment of the group, so rituals can often be channelled on spot. However, the following is the outline of our journey & shows potential rituals we will be embodying:
🔻 Friday: APHRODITE'S SURRENDER TEMPLE – Temple Opening & Surrendering to the Mysteries
- Prayer, Devotion
- Surrendering the body to the mystery
- Blindfolded Shamanic Movement & Journey

🔥 Saturday: KALI'S SACRED DESTRUCTION TEMPLE: The Beast, The Prey, The Sacred Fire
- Rewilding & Beast is God Activation
- Fear Eradicator Ceremony

🌑 Sunday: LILTH'S EXPRESS YOUR ESSENCE TEMPLE – The Witch Wound, The Slut, The Dark Father
- Alchemizing the Witch Trials Ritual (see details above on the masculine & feminine wound)

🌹 Monday: ISIS'S SACRED ROSE TEMPLE: The Royal, The Sensual, The Holy

This is an invitation to strip away the illusions, burn away the fear, and rise as the sovereign creator of your own existence. This is the birthplace of accessing more PLEASURE & opening your heart to the true creator, which is YOU.
Are you ready to unearth your forgotten power?
THE WITCH WOUND
One of the most potent themes we will explore is the witch wound, carried by both the feminine and masculine within us:
🔥 The Feminine Wound: Feeling afraid to step into your power and own your magic. As a result: staying silent, quiet, dimming your light to “stay safe”.
⚔️ The Masculine Wound: Afraid of your sexual power & the harm it could cause to the other. As a result: holding back your sexual rawness for the other, stuck in "nice guy" or "people pleasing" in order to not be dictated as the "perpetrator".
This work is not about indulging in chaos—it’s about finding the divinity within it. Here, we will meet these wounds head-on and alchemize them into embodied power.

3. EVENT IN ENGLISH
4. It is 4 days of on-going guided temple immersion, from morning until evening. Some guidance will feel like " embodied workshop", other moments it will feel very mystical. We are always in soul space, in the shamanic portal together. Some practices involve sexuality, other practices are embodied shadow-work, everything builds upon each other, co-creating an artisitic flow of one transformative journey.
