This is a sexual shamanic 4 day retreat for all genders.
INTRODUCTION
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 long 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 ashamed, but as a holy force of creation.
TEMPLE STRUCTURE

🌑 THE WITCH WOUND DEEPER DESCRIPTION🌑
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.

THE MAIN FACILITATOR:
Maia is a shamanic & psychic somatic practitioner and her work is focused primarily on sexual-shamanism, somatic shadow-work & tantra. She holds ceremonies, temples, & retreats all over the world. "Maia" translates to Great Mother, not just the nurturer, but aspect of Creator that is a fierce all encompassing love. Maia is not just a guide—she is a weaver of magic, a mistress of the unseen, and a master of the Dark Arts.
With a presence that is both fierce and tender, she holds a brave container of deep transformation & alchemy .
She will take you to the edges of yourself, but she will not let you fall.
She will walk with you through the fire, but she will not let you burn.
With Maia, the journey is not about breaking—it is about becoming.
Her expertise:
🔥 Sexual Alchemy & Existential Kink – where shadow & desire become one
🖤 Primal Awakening & Dark Arts – unlocking the most hidden aspects of self
🌹 Sacred Devotion & Ritual Play – where power meets surrender

Here is a testimonial to get a deeper idea:
"Maia holds a safe space in a way that is so clean & clear, that cultivates inner safety & strength. It is such a level of shamanism, playfullness, and deep attunment, that I feel honored to be in her field. I see how she is expanding the dark universe, a beautiful mix of light, shadow, & darkness. There is such a clarity that she carries. If you get the opportunity to dive into the dark & shamanistic realms with her, you will not see yourself in the same light afterwards. She is a dear teacher of the dark, brave enough to dive beyond the concept, to bring you to a truer, deeper, soul evolution"
