About Me
Terra identifies as genderqueer, and their sexual expression is mostly dominant and ecosexual. They are deep into conscious, shamanic and therapeutic BDSM as an erotic and healing art form, and feel passionate about supporting others to experience the transformation and pleasure available in these realms.
Terra has explored and trained extensively in the fields of shamanism, sacred sexuality, conscious kink, nonviolent communication and ritual over the past ten years. They have also worked with ceremonial Cacao as an ally for spiritual and emotional processing for the past 8 years, taught by Keith Wilson. Terra has been a student at the International School of Temple Arts since 2016 and organizes for ISTA since 2022. They have studied Mayan cosmology extensively with Tzutujil elder Francisco Puac, and they are a devotional song and shamanic voice channel.
More recently Terra started teaching the 7-day Shamanic Kink Immersion, an in-person deep dive working with the tools, toys and techniques of BDSM for healing, play and ritual. This training is a culmination of the different paths that Terra has been walking, designed together and taught in duo with Francesca Gentille, sacred sexuality powerhouse and therapeutic BDSM expert. Francesca and Terra felt a calling to create a space for deep explorations of roleplay, sensation and power exchange for the purpose of healing and empowerment, resulting in the pleasure-positive and highly transformational Shamanic Kink Immersion.
Terra’s aim is to have you reconnect to your true inner knowing, to your wholeness, to the full range of your desires, and the power of your joy. This is an embodied as well as a spiritual experience. For this reason, our sessions, workshops and programs are a combination of transformative ritual, interpersonal practices, exploration of the realms of Soul and Spirit, educational content, and directed self-inquiry.
Terra has trained extensively in the fields of shamanism, sacred sexuality, embodiment, spiritual and emotional processing, and ritual over the past ten years. From this foundation, they offer groups and individual clients a curious, solid and inspired approach to erotic empowerment and relational mastery. Their aim is to help you reconnect to your true inner knowing, the full range of your desires, and the power of your joy, while supporting you to integrate a solid capacity to identify and hold your personal boundaries!
Terra also spent quite some time in India during which they trained to be a Yoga teacher and Reiki master. They travelled to numerous sacred sites all over the world, receiving some of the ancient knowing they hold, and since 2018 has hosted sacred site journeys for groups in Europe and the Americas.
