Original Sin
A slow descent into matter, pleasure, and your erotic core
I am excited to be collaborating with Jelke adn Simon to bring you this beautiful offering. We will be drawing on our backgrounds in conscious sexuality, body work, medicine and psychology with our passion for working with the transpersonal and archetypes to bring you an offer that offers potential for deep personal transformation.*
What if the body was never the place you were meant to escape from?
What if pleasure was not something to earn, control, or consume, but a doorway into deeper presence?
For generations, the body has carried stories of shame, separation, purity, and prohibition. We have learned to distrust desire, to discipline sensation, to rise above our instincts rather than listen to them. And yet beneath these inherited stories lives something older: a primal intelligence that knows how to receive, soften, surrender, feel, and come alive.
Original Sin is an invitation to descend.
Not into something dark in the sense of wrong, but into the fertile darkness of the body itself—the place where seeds germinate, where transformation begins, where the known dissolves and something more instinctual can emerge.
In the first part of this hybrid experience, we will explore the art of pleasure.
Through sensory awareness, embodied practices, reflection, relational exercises, and playful exploration, we will investigate what allows pleasure to become safer, slower, fuller, and more available in the body. Rather than chasing intensity, we will learn to notice the subtle language of sensation: the places that open, the places that contract, the impulses that want to move, and the boundaries that ask to be respected.
We will explore how safety can become the ground of pleasure, how presence can deepen sensation, and how choice and consent allow the body to become a place of curiosity.
From there, we cross the threshold into Temple.
Our guides are the figures of the Dark Feminine—the archetypal descent of Persephone and the untamed sovereignty of Lilith.
Persephone knows the mystery of going down.
She leaves the familiar world and enters the underworld, not to remain lost there, but to become someone who can belong to both worlds. Her descent is an initiation into depth, instinct, mystery, and the wisdom of what cannot be understood from the surface.
Lilith carries another kind of medicine.
She refuses exile from her own desire. She represents the part of the feminine that cannot be domesticated into obedience—the instinctual, sensual, sovereign force that knows its own boundaries and does not apologize for its aliveness.
Between them lies the territory we will enter: the erotic core.
Not sexuality as performance.
Not pleasure as consumption.
Not surrender as giving yourself away.
But eros as a powerful life force.
We will play with polarity.
We will explore softness and wildness.
Receiving and choosing.
Surrender and sovereignty.
The innocent and the forbidden.
The part of us that longs to be held—and the part that longs to be completely free.
In the Temple, the invitation is not to become someone else.
To let the body become a place of discovery.
And perhaps, somewhere in the darkness, to encounter the ancient knowing that there was never anything wrong with being fully alive.
