Life as a Divine Dominant

October 21, 2023

By Shadi Terra

Sometimes it seems so clear that we have a free choice in life. Supposedly, we are able and aware beings who can take charge of our lives masterfully, and guide our way to the best possible solution for ourselves, our loved ones, and the planet through the choices we make. I wish this for everyone. And also LIFE happens, where all the factors known and unknown deeply influence not just us, but all things in existence.


To think that we are capable of being in charge, with the limited perception and capacity we have as humans in our waking life, is a joke. Especially when it comes to mind-based decision making. But because our societal structures seem to be built around free and personal choice, yet mostly based on a very limited and rational perception of reality, it can feel as if we really are in control, and ‘know’ what we are doing or supposed to be doing.


Often times it’s only when stuff out of our control happens - which simply means life is happening - that we need to find within ourselves the knowing and resources to get clear on what is truly wanting to move us, what is truly here to be expressed through us.

Being able to structure and hold things is essential to creating a harmonious reality for ourselves and the world, but the chaos and mystery is where the magic happens, where evolution shows what is needed NOW.


But how to learn to move consciously and powerfully with the chaos, with the mystery?

With the way things are in our global social-political-economic situation nowadays, who would feel comfortable surrendering to anything. The way ‘policy makers’ choose to continually rape and burn this planet is devastating. Their insane ways of dividing and supposedly ‘ruling’ humanity trickle down – often candidly - into the mainstream consensus reality awareness, which unconsciously ends up supporting their abusive and lost cause of extracting the Earth’s sacred resources for the benefit of a small and privileged group of power seekers.


Can we stand by the sidelines and witness this unreal pillaging? Should we stand up and take the streets, to show our dissatisfaction and rejection of this heartless abuse of power?


What is there to be done, as we move into a time where deep grieving, and with it embracing the chaos of these highly uncertain times, will be the only way through?


A world in distress is a challenging place to be in. How can we manage, let alone harness power in the consensus reality, where power and love have been disconnected from each other in such a tangible way?


As I discovered over the past number of years, engaging in sacred role play can offer great healing and transformational potential. In a space where we consciously and intentionally set up a dynamic where a person holds, guides, even directs another, for their benefit and desired intent, surrender is truly possible. After careful and diligent negotiations of what the space ought to look like and what boundaries need to be held, two people can engage in a deep and sacred dance, inviting space for the mystery to move them.


Creating a time for realignment with the sacred heart of all existence. That dark and empty space where Love emanates from, pouring itself timelessly into All.

The sacredness can be felt deeply in our bones when this knowing lands. There’s no way around it; what needs to be is what needs to be. Words don’t do it right, can never do it right.


In this space of knowing where we come from and who we are, humbleness, acknowledgement and surrender are all natural, and they come with a deep sense of purpose. The purpose of being an alive and potent human, in this world and in this life. Eternally jobless, yet thriving with inspiration and potential to fill this one life with joy and blessings through the sacred vessel that we are.


What comes next from this space, no-one knows…


For me, what most recently came out of it was the Shamanic Kink Immersion, teaching people to engage in exactly this ^^ with fellow priestess Francesca Gentille over a 7-day sacred & ceremonial immersive.


Our next edition taking place in November 2023 specifically addresses the emerging collective need to move with grief and atonement masterfully. It is going to be a powerful portal to engage in the painful, ecstatic and transcendent art of letting go into the chaos and mystery, particularly needed at this time on the planet. Apart from that you will of course also learn to engage in all kinds of ways to work with pleasure, Eros, grief, pain and everything in between in a supported way, both in the surrender as well as in the Master polarity.


All of this will happen in a safely held, inclusive, supportive, experimental, trauma-informed, pleasure/Eros-positive, and nourishing interpersonal group container.

If you are ready, and wish to dive deep into the realms of shamanic kink & conscious BDSM, join in gorgeous upstate New York and embrace this powerful work that you, humanity and our planet deserve to know.
