dissolution

2 day temple immersion

FOR ALL GENDERS

MONTREAL CANADA SEPTEMBER 18 & 19

embracing the art of dissolution

How do we nurture our relationship with the spaces our society represses? How do we feed the hungry parts of ourselves—the devouring emptiness, the bottomless pit of unmet desire and un-expressed grief that wants to consume and is never satiated?

Our culture has forgotten how to let go. We hold on until we are exhausted, armoring ourselves against impermanence, powerlessness, and the fear of our own depth. We carry the un-mourned weight of our conditioning, treating the dark, fertile spaces of the psyche as something to be sugar-coated or fixed.

This Temple is an invitation to stop fighting the fall. It is an invitation to step into the sacred art of Dissolution. To empty the vessel before attempting to fill it. To allow the rigid forms of who you think you are to melt away—so that what is truly immortal within you can finally breathe.

the purpose

This immersion is a high-initiation container designed for those ready to move beyond conventional tantra and introductory shadow-work. Utilizing sexual shamanism, psychic somatics, shamanic BDSM & Kink, and neo-tantra, We channel our untamed sexual nature directly into our spiritual evolution.

We begin on Friday by entering the underworld—dissolving identity, sexual conditioning, and masked personas. From that fertile void, we reclaim our absolute essence, transmuting our deepest shadows and repressed collective currents into pure, unadulterated creative power, alignment, and sovereign rebirth on Saturday.

Maia directly translates to "the Great Mother," an archetype embodying both the sacred destruction of illusions & victim consciousness and the empowerment of the Creator. This energy guides us through the fire of transformation and into the sovereignty of our true essence.
Within this 2-day Shamanic-Sexual Temple Immersion, we
invoke the specific frequencies required to break the matrix of sexual disempowerment:
LILITH:
The Liberator. The untamed and exiled one who calls us to break free from the inner matrix. She leads our descent to reclaim our forbidden desires, our Sacred Slut essence, and the raw erotic freedom suppressed by conditioning.
MAGDALENE:
The Alchemist. The union of the Light Feminine and Light Masculine. She guide’s the heart to meet the sex, bridging piercing Truth with Erotic Innocence to return us to Creator Consciousness.
- Delayering Deep Shame: Moving past personal psychological drama into collective, transpersonal transmutation.
- Restoring Relationality: Re-weaving our relationship with the animate forces of Life, Form, and Eros.
- Entering the Void to Find Essence: Dropping the armor of who you think you should be to uncover what is truly real within you.
- Resurrection into Alignment: Emerging from a state of dissolution into clear, grounded manifestation.
Our shadows are longing 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 shamed, but as a holy force of creation.

practicalities

MAIA (Co-Facilitator | Amsterdam & Bali)
MAIA translates to "great cosmic womb mother." Across her work, she facilitates the feminine path of transformation and expanded consciousness (welcoming all genders) through mystery, shamanism, kink/BDSM, tantra, psychic somatics, spiritual initiation, and embodied experience. Her medicine specializes in shadow-work, sexuality, and the taboo—explicitly designed to take participants deeper than any modality they have tried before.
Maia has been facilitating for 5 years across multiple lineages and modalities in Europe and Bali. Her sexual-shamanic and tantric temples are a world apart from play parties or conventional tantra spaces; they are a mystical practice where sexuality and connection become the medium to meet yourself, and Spirit, more fully. Her core focus is trauma-work through shadow-integration: training the body to transmute shame, fear, and disempowering patterns into power, pleasure, purpose, and ultimately, liberation.
MAX (Co-Facilitator | Montreal)
Max is a dedicated ritualist and facilitator based in Montreal focused on restoring our sacred relationality with unseen forces, animate nature, and the ancestral field. His work bridges deep somatic unburdening, elemental protection, grief vocalization, and ritual completion. He creates grounded, highly contained spaces for participants to dismantle societal conditioning, move through devouring emotional states, and re-weave the sacred back into the tapestry of daily life.
This container is built primarily for those already walking a path of embodiment, shadow-work, and/or conscious sexuality—this is not introductory work. Application required.
If you believe sexuality is a path to expanded consciousness, you belong here. If you're ready to live embodied in your truth and your power—welcome home.
Because this work goes incredibly deep, it is held with exceptional care. Every space created rests on consent, accountability, and respect as non-negotiable ground.
Preparation: Preparatory materials, including a Code of Ethics and Temple Agreements, are sent via email beforehand to ensure self-responsibility and safety boundaries before stepping into the room.
1. Temple location will be given when your application is accepted. It is located in a beautiful home in Montreal Canada

testimonials

SUZANNE (FEMALE)

I feel so grateful, full of love, open, vulnerable and strong. My masks and layers are cracking open, and more and more light can come in.
This retreat has been life changing for me on a very deep level of core beliefs and inner child layers. Maia and Michel worked so perfectly with our group in the field, attuning to what everyone needed right in the moment. I felt so safe at all times, which contributed to a deep healing in myself and the others in our group.
NIK (MALE)

Wow! What an experience, beyond all prejudices and assumptions.
It's beautiful how vulnerable Maia opens herself up and takes you on a completely new journey of feelings and emotions. She goes deeper than anything I've ever experienced, even with plant medicines.
She takes you on an energetic journey where you connect with your deepest fears, desires, and boundaries. The latter is meticulously guarded, so you always feel safe, even as you stare fear in the face. Her partner, Michel's, contribution is also invaluable; he prepared us well and provided appropriate support for both us as a group and for Maia.
If you're truly willing to explore yourself more deeply than you've ever explored before, you should definitely seek her out.
This is next-level shit, an indescribably profound and loving experience. Tantra for the advanced.
KAY (FEMALE)

It was so beautiful because here I could finally be free. If you need to come & heal, this is the place to do it. I came here because I needed to heal past sexual assault, and the journey that Maia & Michel gave me was so intuitively led & really safely held. I had deep ancestral wounds that I didn't even know was there and I feel my energetic body is deeply healed & my heart is expanding. Maia & Michel were constantly reading the energies in the group & what was needed and it was beautiful how the masculine & feminine leadership came together. They also showed true vulnerability that gave a safe space to both expand & contract when needed. To my sisters out there who truly need to be healed, especially on a sexual level, this retreat is not about sex, but rather getting in contact with your feminine & masculine side and having a free safe expression.
ELENA (FEMALE)

I feel so grateful! Where my heart normally contracts, I feel expansion. I feel a power from the root, to be able to come back to myself. I want to thank myself. I use to give my power away to others and I am now honouring my own power that comes from me.
I also have to thank Maia & Michel. It was so profound that there are no words. It has been a gift, for myself, for all the people in the space, and for those to come. The power of Temple of Maia is its ability to not be confined as one thing, its an infinite flow of energy. It channels what it needs to channel. This space created is so safe even though we go into the most deepest places. When all my coping mechanisms & triggers came up, the deeper truth arose that: these people are here to hold me. I now know how I wish to walk through life after this experience: with safety, security, and power within myself.
If you feel the calling for this & have doubt, take away the noise & sit in silence with yourself. Because behind the excuse, the voices, is a roar. I have full body chills when I say I am so fucking happy I did this.
MATHIAS (MALE)

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, playfulness, and deep attunement, 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 in the dark & shamanistic realms with her, you will not see yourself in the same light afterwards. You will see dark things in a lighter way & lighter things in a darker way.
An alchemy beyond reason, beyond feelings will be cultivated with you. She is a dear teacher of the dark, brave enough to dive beyond the concept, to bring you to a truer, deeper, soul evolution.
ROMINA (FEMALE)

What I take away from this is that I can finally step into my power and that I don't need to be afraid of owning my true self. I can embrace my inner strength.
In some of the rituals, I could literally feel the power arising in my body. I still feel my body expanding. I feel so ready to embrace my full self and show the world my true power & share with it all the gifts I have. I feel ready to follow my calling.
Maia & Michel carry a deep devotion. I didn't really know what was possible until I entered their container, it feels like modern day magic & alchemy. I really love how they always read the energy of the room & always adapt to the groups need and what the field asks for-- this is a great strength of theirs.
Maia also carries such a powerful, shamanic presence that I admire and Michel brings so much loving, kind energy in the space that makes it safe. It is a beautiful cocreation. I will continue receiving their medicine!
