SEX SHAMAN, SACRED PROSTITUTE.
A week-end workshop for men.
Uncovering the healing power of your sexual being

*For facilitators and enthusiasts
OPEN TO ALL MALE-IDENTIFIED BODIES - PALM SPRINGS - DECEMBER 02-03 2023

** SOLD OUT** WAITLIST ONLY**

Slide
What?

Sex shamans and sacred prostitutes are two sides of the same archetype. 
Both support the healing of others with the power of their presence and sexual energy. 
For them sex is also a merging of energies, a joining of essences, an act that connects us to our source and our truth. Most importantly, both of them remind others they are fully worthy of love.
This weekend workshop will teach us the tools needed to uncover these healing powers within us.

How?

(1) Safety: We will learn to establish a sense of safety within ourselves and to support others in establishing it as well
(2) We will learn to develop a strong sense of intuition and connection to our source.
(3) Power: we will learn to create space for an awakening of our greater erotic power.
(4) Perception and healing: we will learn to channel our power for our healing and the healing of others.

We will explore these aspects through (1) short lectures,
(2) somatic, shamanic and erotic practices which will be individual, with optional partner and group practices
(3) Sharing spaces for emotional processing and integration.

For who?

This workshop is open to all male-identified bodies, of any age, body-type, sexual orientation, race, etc.
It is intended for facilitators who are looking to develop new skills, for those who are advanced practitioners wanting to step into a facilitator role, and also practitioners who have a willingness to dive deep and explore every aspect of the self.

Sex Shaman

A shaman has the ability to hold space for the awakening of power in others, simply by transmission and through the power of their presence. 
The shaman knows how to challenge social constructs. He/she has lives in the world, while having one foot firmly in another realm.

The Shaman tends towards the sacred masculine.

Sacred Prostitute

The sacred prostitute helps others heal through the power of sexuality. The Sacred prostitute is the rebellious version of the sacred intimate, he/she knows how to own their darkest shadow and to value their sexual power.

The prostitute tends towards the sacred feminine.

OUR MAIN QUESTIONS:
How does our sexuality connect us to source of life within us? 

How do we channel its energy for healing? 

How do we become a conduit for oneness and source for others?

✔ THESE WORKSHOPS GENERALLY ATTRACT

✔ Facilitators who are looking to develop new skills
✔ Those who are advanced practitioners wanting to step into a facilitator role
✔ Practitioners who have a willingness to dive deep and explore every aspect of the self. 


✗ IT WILL LIKELY NOT BE OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE WHO
✗ Are simply looking for a group pleasure practice
✗ Who are seeking to learn tantra massage techniques
✗ Who are seeking sexual experiences limited only to the realm of ecstasy and bliss

- PS: I have no judgement about any of the above, I simply feel that those seeking these aspects will be disappointed by this workshop.

FAQ : How sexual will it get? 
Consent and safety 

✔ We will create a safe space first by establishing ways of voicing consent and boundaries.
✔ As your facilitator I will be responsible for maintaining the sense of safety of the group container.
✔ Each participant will also be responsible for their own body, for respecting their desires and boundaries.
✔ Nudity and self/mutual touch, including genital touch will be welcome, however they will not be compulsory. 
Each participant will be able to decide “how far” they choose to go. While everyone is invited to meet their edges, you will never be asked to go beyond your limits.
✔ Partner practices will be part of the workshop but are not compulsory.
✔ Pairings will be randomly assigned. Therefore participants choosing to participate in partner work must be open to interacting with anyone. Participants however will be able to choose the level of interaction they are comfortable with in any moment, ranging from eye-gazing to more explicit touch and interaction.
✗ Penetration and oral sex will not be allowed.

About your facilitator

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.
