Maybe you’ve found your way into the realms of BDSM, Psychodrama Role Play, Tantric Kink, Therapeutic BDSM, or hovered around the edges of it. Maybe you’ve found it exciting, enticing, felt drawn and then didn’t find the right time and place to step in… Maybe you’ve gone deep and desire to expand and explore even deeper.


If you’ve felt some of the exhilaration and power available to you in this realm, and you’d like to truly get to the core of how to use BDSM in a transformative and sacred way, join Terra and Francesca for a profound immersion into the essence of ritual & conscious kink.


The Shamanic Kink immersion lives at the intersection of ancient shamanic principles, somatic healing practices, sexology, and modern BDSM. During this 7-day in-person group journey, we will dive deep in how to use the tools, toys, and techniques of BDSM for healing, ritual and transformation.

THE ARCHETYPAL PLAY BETWEEN DOMINANT AND SUBMISSIVE, when framed and played consciously, masterfully and consensually, can open doorways to a deeply inspiring, fulfilling and purposeful place. At the Shamanic Kink Immersion, Terra and Francesca will share with you their own lived experience, tools and transmissions on how to journey masterfully into this profoundly transformational space.


THIS COURSE WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH all that you will need to know to work with the energy of the power exchange dynamic for healing, transformation, release of shame, and empowerment.


You will get a wide and empowering framework for the Dominant and/or submissive archetypes inside of you to freely and generously express themselves. Through the experiences provided in this course you may find a deeper understanding of who you are in relation to all that is, and how you want to express yourself in the world powerfully.


The Training provides you with opportunities to engage in powerfully negotiated and intentional scenes, in order to expand your BDSM play, D/s Relationship, or Professional Kink practice. We will also teach you techniques and share templates to support you in building Shamanic Kink scenes.


IT CAN BE DEEPLY HEALING FOR INDIVIDUALS to experience a Kinky Erotic Container that has an intention of slowing down, being present, and experiencing the flow of energy and transformation. When we become the trained guides of this type of BDSM journeywork, we not only delight our play partners, we change their lives.


THE IMMERSION DRAWS ITS TEACHINGS FROM:

~ Shamanism ~ Tantra ~ Psychology ~ Neurobiology ~ Sexology ~ Taoism ~ Somatics ~ Recovery from Trauma ~ Contemporary Kink/BDSM

What People are Saying

"This was among the best trainings I’ve ever taken.

High integrity container, evocative and concretely applicable methods - I walked away with new internal discoveries, tools that empower my service to others, and a new piece of purpose.

This one I don’t hesitate one bit to recommend to anyone who feels intrigued."


"This training felt like it brought about a cellular level transformation. After spending so many years searching and trying to understand why I could not fit into the muggle work world, I now feel confident about my life calling, for the first time in my life. It gave me tools, framework, and a sense of integration that are needed for stepping forward as a sacred healer."

- Jay, USA


"This was a phenomenal training that held so much depth and beauty every step of the way. I was nervous to try something new, but Francesca and Terra created a safe container for me to feel competent and courageous enough to participate fully, which was confidence building and transformational to say the least. The group of people that attended this training was immaculate and the space in which we were held was encouraging, curious and loving. I have such a better and embodied understanding of therapeutic kink and its potential for healing and I am in awe at my own healing experience. Thank you so much!"


"My experience at the Shamanic Kink Immersion was a wild and enlightening ride, providing me with the opportunity to expand my understanding of kink and BDSM in regards to collaborative healing applications. The facilitation and format of the rituals allowed me to build experience and skill with every element of a good scene. Through our work exploring topics such as role play, sensation, and power exchange, I was able to deepen my understanding of the D/s dynamic and engage in incredibly powerful practice sessions. The container was safe, inclusive, and welcoming, offering sensitivity and non-judgment, which allowed me to tap into deeply vulnerable aspects of myself and craft ways to delve into my core wounds, knowing that I would have support when I needed it. The facilitation prompted us with just the right balance between playfulness and exploration as well as great discipline and structure. All the teachings were information-rich and insightful, and I appreciated the flow back and forth between learning and experiencing through the application of newly acquired knowledge. The closeness of the container naturally led to an ongoing support network to continue my journey. I came out of this experience with a notebook filled with some truly brilliant nuggets that each stand as portals for future explorations, and I am nothing but excited for where the immersion may lead me!"

Embraced by the magical forest, the outside area offers gorgeous views, an outdoor pool, and a big wood-fired sauna with natural swimming pond.


Easton Mountain carries a potent history as it was created as a sanctuary by and for gay men in 1999, offering community and support in the wake of the AIDS epidemic. In recent years, the Easton Mountain stewards group have opened up their doors for a select handful of transformational space holders, extending the center's heritage of compassion and collective empowerment.
