The Art

of Worship

 

For couples looking to discover the power of dominance and surrender, and reshape their intimate relationships.

Surrender is not the absence of power; it is the presence of deep listening. 

The Art of Worship

If you want to:

  • transform relationships from obligation into deep connection by learning to serve while honoring your boundaries
  • release patterns of overgiving and access true intimacy built on mutual respect
  • find a safe space to surrender and trust without fear of being manipulated
  • discover the power of vulnerability and learn to listen (to yourself and your partner)
  • recover from traumatic experiences where your power has been taken from you
  • step into a new way of relating that feels fulfilling, empowering, and aligned with your true desires.

Then it’s time for the Art of Worship.

The Wisdom of Worship

If you’ve ever watched in awe as a person elegantly, willingly devotes themselves to a deity, a cause, or a practice and emanates a light of inner peace even while immersed in an arduous task, you’ve witnessed the power of surrender.   

Far from a state of resignation, true surrender is an experience that is sought in every ancient spiritual tradition. But outside of modern-day BDSM/kink play, we are given few opportunities to truly release into this blissful state. 

In the Art of Worship, you’ll find the space to turn roleplay into a divine right of passage.

Surrender is the highest state of sobriety we can attain.

Learn the Art of Worship

Many people crave surrender – a chance to temporarily drop responsibility and be held by a trusted soul – but only some people understand why they want this.

Whether we reach this state through meditation, breathwork, dance, psychedelics, kink, rituals, or even hiking to the summit of a mountain, what we find is a sense of inner peace. Here is a connection to the oneness that exists in all life – a taste of the Goddess – and a reason for being that goes beyond material accomplishments. 

But too many people who seek surrender – especially through submissive roles in the bedroom – enter this state without clear limits, or an ability to say no when they mean it. What results is a pattern of overgiving, burnout, and resentment.  

Your service is a gift, but in order for this to be a blissful and sustainable state for you and your partner, you must learn to:

  1. Listen (both to your limits and your partner’s specific desires)    
  2. Identify – and uphold – your limits
  3. Give without expectation of reciprocity 

The Art of Worship work mixes together kink/BDSM with ancient mysticism and modern somatic coaching. This is the kind of magic potion that satisfies even the hungriest souls. 

I offer this as a service to individuals seeking to explore submission from a grounded sense of purpose, as well as couples looking to add a new dynamic or break painful patterns.

If you’re ready, book a 15-minute free call with me to see if we’re a fit.

Please note that I don’t accept everyone for this work. If you are invited to work with me, we will create shared agreements and intentions to guide our time together. The work is strictly educational in nature.

Surrender Training

Surrender Training is an experience of intuitive submission, a protocol for bowing to the Divine Feminine and not losing yourself in the process. 

In our 1:1 sessions (online or in person), you will explore your past relationship patterns, your fantasies and their connection to your sense of self and purpose, your desires for healthy relationships, and ways to uphold your sacred boundaries. 

In short, you will learn to trust yourself. Deeply.

Through somatic roleplay, fantasy exploration, rituals, and erotic embodiment practices, you’ll learn:

  • how to hold sensation in your body – emotionally, physically, sexually – and channel it for good
  • how to surrender without becoming a doormat
  • to end self-destructive patterns of bypassing your limits or overgiving 
  • to overcome shame about who you are and what you want
  • how to see your acts of service as a tremendous gift to the world

In practicing giving the Art of Worship, you’ll learn what mystics and yogis have known for millennia – there is great pleasure in surrendering the ego’s control to a trustworthy source of power.  

The Art of Worship is right for you if you seek to:

  • heal traumatic experiences
  • end patterns of overgiving, burnout, and resentment 
  • attracting partners that leave you feeling valued and respected for your service
  • learn how to set boundaries and say “no” when you mean it
  • stop people pleasing behaviors 
  • find emotionally available partners and relationships of mutual vulnerability 
  • find the path to meaningful intimacy 

Individual one-off sessions also available. Please inquire about pricing. 

The Journal

Labor Pains

I don’t classify the birth of my daughter as traumatic, but some people have done it for me. I remember when she was about seven weeks old and an acquaintance of mine, then childless, pulled me aside. She had heard that I had to transfer my planned home birth to the hospital. She gave me a look of pity. How traumatic that must have been, she said.

Journaling: A Sacred Ritual for Self-Care

I just finished a Facebook Live video on the power of ritual journaling for the Simple Ayurveda Facebook group, led by the beautiful Angela Perger. I was so inspired by what I got to talk about there that I wanted to share it again here. (Join the group and you can see the full video.)

Angela’s topic for the month is the power of ritual. I adore ritual. It marks every part of my day. Ritual is what makes my dinacharya, or daily routine, holy.  When my routines are ritualized, I approach them with devotion. I make them a celebration of my aliveness.

Examining Your Gooey Insides

I have found that while all births are unique, they all share this in common: They aren’t what was expected.

And it’s not only in birth, all forms of passage (i.e., the events that fundamentally shape us as humans) have this in common. Because if we knew exactly the course we were going to take, we would never have been able to accept the wisdom that we gained from the journey.

“On this path effort never goes to waste, and there is no failure.”
