About the facilitator

I came to Tantra and sacred sexuality through rupture. Through heartbreak, desire, shame, devotion, and a deep refusal to keep living inside the status quo. My path has been shaped by lived experience first: relationships that cracked me open, temple spaces, shadow work, and long descents into places many people try to bypass.

Along the way, I’ve studied and practiced somatics, nervous system work, shadow integration, astrology, ritual, and embodied inquiry, always woven alongside therapy and real-life integration. I’ve journeyed with plants, with the Earth, with shamans, and with communities devoted to conscious intimacy. I’ve trained in and facilitated multiple temple and relational spaces, learning as much from the rooms I’ve held as from the ones that held me.

What matters most to me isn’t technique, peak states, or spiritual performance, but presence and integration. It’s the capacity to stay with yourself when intimacy, power, or vulnerability feel uncomfortable or destabilising. I’m deeply passionate about bringing people back into trust with their bodies and their erotic life force, without shame, bypassing, or spiritualised avoidance. What I want to contribute to this field is a grounded, relational, and embodied approach that honours shadow, humanity, consent, and the slow, honest return to wholeness.

Workshops

Divinely Untamed Temple Night

This is a ritual space where Eros, presence, and devotion meet. This workshop invites participants to explore intimacy as a living, embodied experience, beyond performance or expectation. The focus is on cultivating connection with self, others, and the collective through conscious touch, breath, movement, and ritual.

Participants can expect a carefully held, consent-led container with guided practices, sensory ritual, and space for authentic expression. The evening weaves structure with spaciousness, allowing each person to meet their own edges at their own pace. This is a space to soften, awaken aliveness, and remember the body as sacred, intelligent, and worthy of pleasure.

Energetic Kink
-Power, Presence & Erotic Choice

This workshop explores the subtle charge of power, surrender, and desire beyond conditioning. We play with the felt edges of authority and receptivity, in loving devotion to presence and choice, allowing power and desire to breathe without needing to be acted on. Through eye contact, presence-based practices, and conscious attunement, desire is invited to move slowly through the body.

You’ll experiment with leading and yielding and learn to stay present with intensity, awkwardness, distance, or longing, without rushing to resolve it. The space is sensual, contained, and deeply alive, offering a different way to meet power and Eros together. Come curious, open, and willing to feel what emerges.
