    • Shamanism

    • Sexuality

    • Embodied Shadow-work

    • Existential Kink

    • Tantra & Temple Art

  • 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 4-day Shamanic-Sexual Temple Immersion, we invoke specific energies of the Great Goddess:

    KALI:

    The devourer of illusions, is the mother of fierce love, reminding us that destruction is necessary for new life to emerge.

    LILITH:

    The untamed and exiled one, calls us to reclaim our forbidden desires, wild essence & erotic freedom.

    ISIS:

    The alchemist that brings the wisdom of sexual alchemy, sovereignty, and magic.

    APHRODITE:

    The unapologetic one, who shows us beauty & pleasure vibrates in all parts of our being: the shadows, the ugly, the light, the ecstatic

  • This is not just a journey into the darkness but into the wholeness of who we are. Through ritual, archetypal embodiment, sacred sexuality, and deep initiations, we will destroy illusions, reclaim our primal nature, and rise as the Creator of our reality.

    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.

  • One of the most potent themes we will explore is the witch wound, carried by both the feminine and masculine within us. This work is not about indulging in chaos—it’s about finding the divinity within it.

    Here, we will meet these wounds head-on and alchemize them into embodied power.

  • Afraid of your sexual power & the harm it could cause to the other. Terrified of your true desires. Struggling between “what is right, what is wrong.” Having dark sexual kinks buried in deep shame, creating inner conflict and turmoil. Fearing that fully meeting your sexual power might destroy you or go against everything you have believed in. As a result: holding back your sexual rawness for the other, stuck in "nice guy" or "people pleasing" in order to not be dictated as the "perpetrator".

  • Feeling afraid to step into your power and own your magic. Fear of fully embodying your sexual power. Having bodily terror at the thought of being judged, shamed, or killed for expressing your truth. The suppression of your erotic, intuitive, & deeply feminine nature. Holding back your authenticity out of fear of persecution. As a result: staying silent, quiet, dimming your light to “stay safe”.

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!
