Sex Shaman,
Sacred Prostitute.
Costa Rica , March 30-06 April 2025
A 7-day sacred intimacy course
for facilitators and space holders
How to register
Overview
Sacred intimacy is an act of sex with God.

Not because the sacred intimate is God, but rather because we have developed an access to God and source that we can share with others.

Our job is to help people remember that every part of them is worthy of love.

Through connecting to source, oneness and love in this way, healing takes place.
Our intensive 7-day course
is an advanced journey of personal discovery and development of new skills and power.

The method will be somatic, sexual and shamanic and will include:
- Shamanic energy atunements
- Individual somatic, energetic, erotic practices.
- Partner sacred intimacy sessions.
- Emotional processing circles
- Mentoring circles
Our process
is about self-development first.
We begin by remembering and strengthening our own connection to source, and using it for our own healing and growth.
We learn to connect to love as an embodied medicine.
We are shown every aspect of ourself, our power, gifts, pains and shame, and remember every part of us is worthy of love.
We then learn how to hold space for others in the same way.

We will explore the dyad of archetypes:
The Sex Shaman & The Sacred Prostitute.

The teachings will mainly revolve
around healing, transmission, and love.
Love
We will learn about love not as an emotion, but as an embodied medicine. Not as the opposite of love, or fear, but as a neutral healing force of oneness.
Transmission
Transmission is: a communication that happens between two systems that can't be understood by the mind, but that yields an impact.

About your facilitator
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, which are often considered radical, combine talk therapy, with experiential processes involving the soma (the body), energy transmission and sexual explorations.


Interactions can range from gentler ones including soft touch, cuddling and conscious stillness to more radical ones such as dark-room therapy, and re-enacting kinky, taboo and shameful sexual scenarios in healing and conscious ways.

Today, he shares his work through 1-1 sessions, online and in-person, residential and non-residential courses and workshops, and online live and pre-recorded courses. 


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 is also senior faculty at the Shakti Shiva Academy 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.

FAQs

Q - Will I be a sex shaman as a result of this week?
A 
- Maybe.
There is no concrete path or course that make someone a shaman.
It's not everyone's path to be a sex shaman.
If the vocation is meant for you, it will find you. This course might be a great space for this development to take place.
If you are not meant to be. a sexual shaman, you might find yourself being an energy healer, or simply adding a new way of holding space to what you already do. 
You might also be a non-sexual space holder. 



Q-Will I get a certification
A-As this is not a specific method, there is no certification. It is not a formal training but rather a space for you to awaken the teachings and the teacher that exists within you.

Q- Is 1 week really enough to become a facilitator
A- I don’t think so. Again, everyone who will come will be starting from a different point and will have their own experience. 

I do recommend to sit with the results of this process and continuing your own individual practice for at least 9 months after the retreat before fulling integrating it and sharing it with others.

Q- Will I learn massage and tantra skills?
A- I will not be teaching any massage or tantra skills.

Any skills shared will be suggestions showing you how I hold space for others, in the hopes they will inspire you,
My aim is to hold space for the development of your own skills.

Q- Is this the same as your 1-year Mystery School training?
A- This course as a level 1 course.
People who complete this course instead of the first 3-months of the Mystery School, and then move to the 9-month level 2 course.
