Why?
Our sexuality does not operate in isolation.
It affects every part of our life and is affected by every part of our life too.
What gets us hard, turns us on, shows us what is needed by us to be whole.
To be whole is to heal.
Enacting our fantasies can be a nourishing and healing process. It can allow us to:
- heal old wounds which have manifested in our sexual nature
- reclaim or re-narrate old stories,
- shed light on parts of our lives that are in the shadows
- experience a healthy relationship with aggression and pain

About your facilitator
Marc Peridis
Marc is a somatic therapist and shamanic practitioner specialised in the Medicine of eros, healing practices related to eros and sexuality.
His work has two main focuses:
1- Supporting the transmutation of shame, trauma and shadow to power, purpose and mastery.
2- As a teacher's teacher, he trains facilitators, therapists and teachers by supporting their development of new abilities.
His practices combine talk therapy, with experiential processes involving the soma (the body), energy transmission and sexual explorations.
After spending over a decade training in somatic movement therapy, energy work and sacred sexuality, his own practice emerged as a result of his years spent observing behavioural responses in 1-1 and group therapy sessions worldwide.
As well as being a trained somatic movement therapist, he has also been initiated into shamanism in 2015 and in the Mystery School as a student in 2013 and a guide in 2018.
He also teaches at the Shakti Shiva Academy based in South Africa, since 2021.
While his process and practice are open to people of all levels of experience, he tends to work mostly with advanced practitioners, people who are keen to become facilitators, and facilitators wishing to develop new skills.
