Body Temple Arts

Sexuality is our creative energetic expression and in our culture we are only given permission to experience a small fraction of our fullest energetic potential. When approached sacredly, consciously and with heart centered presence, our embodied sexual energy has the power to heal, transform and empower our lives. Our sexual energy returns us to our connection with Source, nature and the great movers of the universe. When we know deeply our most authentic, sexual and sensual nature and celebrate it, we return to our truest nature, which is that of Love. The more embodied and sensually, sexually self-aware we are, the more permission we have to be turned on, fully present, embodiments of Love.


I offer Heart-centered Ceremonies and Educational Teachings around Consent, Somatic Awareness, Sacred Sexuality and Embodied Pleasure. When our sexuality is expressed authentically and from a place of love, we have the power to transform and heal ourselves, others and the Earth.


I’ve been called a High Priestess of Sacred Sexuality, Sacred Courtesan, Embodiment of the Divine Mother, Sensual Shaman and Naked Yoga Goddess and even Grandmother to the Naked Yoga Movement. That’s a lot to live up to! In reality and beyond those projections, I offer individuals support who desire more confidence and ease in the areas of embodiment, intimacy and sacred sexuality. I am dedicated to reclaiming the body as a sacred consort and supporting the channels of deep listening around body spirit consciousness. I am here to celebrate the sacredness, beauty, power and pleasure, and sometimes the pain, discomfort and awkwardness and of living fully in the human body with Divine Purpose.


I’ve studied with many wonderful teachers and guides over the years including Institute for the Study of Sexual Somatic Education, Kenneth Ray Stubbs Phd, Dr. Deborah Anapol, Betty Martin, Susun Weed, Anyaa McAndrews, Amara Charles, Tammy Nelson, Gina Odgen, Barbara Carellas, Reverend Goddess Charmaine, Bishop EveLynn Maurine and my first and most cherished mentor Suzanne d’Corsey.


I have undergone a five-year apprenticeship as a Priestess. I am initiated as a Sexual Shaman, certified as a teacher of Pelvic Heart Integration, Ordained as a Bishop in the Madonna Ministry and apprenticed as an herbalist in the Wise Woman tradition of Western Herbalism. I am a pillar for the naked yoga movement in the west and am the founder of Naked Yoga Alliance – an international resource network for the practice of naked yoga. My classes and work have been featured in Metromix, Timeout, Jane Magazine, NY Post, N Magazine, AANR, Tantra Café, NY Spirit, N Magazine, Fox News, BBC, Elle Magazine, Marie Claire, MSNBC, Vogue, and Cosmopolitan.

SESSIONS - COUPLES

“Relationships are the yoga of the West.”~ Ram Dass

Relating to sex, intimacy and relationship with our beloved is quite natural, and yet we as humans make this endlessly complicated. In relating, we are met with all of our wounds, expectations, habitual patterns and blocks to intimacy. A couple’s sessions creates an environment together for both of you to explore relating through sensual touch meditations and sexual energy cultivation practices and create more opportunities to explore pleasure, play and the erotic energy present between you. You and your beloved will open to deeper levels of giving and receiving and will expand your pleasure and intimacy palette in new ways giving you the opportunity to connect on an even deeper more profound and intimate level. Each of you will gain a greater understanding of your and your partner's authentic desires and how to break away from any previous developed patterns that have created stagnancy or are not serving the relationship.

In our sacred space sessions may include:

  • Conscious Giving & Conscious Receiving
  • Sexual Energy Cultivation Techniques
  • Ecstatic Breathing Practices
  • Transforming Sexual Dysfunction into Sexual Possibilities

Ceremonies are 2 hours and can be created in your home or at my private temple space.

Ceremony

“Ceremony is how we remember to remember.” ~ Robin Wall Kimmerer

Ceremonies are sacred rituals that mark transition, transformation and celebration in our lives. As a ceremonialist I have co-created numerous rituals over the years to support and mark the important passage and transformation of the human soul as it moves into its next cycle of life.


Hand-fasting, Vow Renewal, and Wedding & Commitment Ceremony

Conscious couples have sacred intentions, agreements and purpose. A commitment ceremony is a time to clarify and create intentions for your relationship and its future and to create a sacred and personalized ritual to celebrate and honor those agreements.




Uncoupling Ceremony

For one or both partners who are ready to transition, have transitioned or need support through the transition of separating from a primary partner. Cord cutting, calling back the lost pieces of the soul, confronting the wounded masculine and feminine, forgiveness rituals and unconditional love meditations to assist in transition.

Seasonal Rituals

Seasonal Ceremonies and celebrations honor the shift in the seasons paired with the shift in our lives when we connect ourselves deeply to the seasons. Celebrated on Solstices, Equinoxes and cross quarter days, on new and full moons in groups of three or more.
