Our 5th 9-month Body Temple Dance Facilitation Training + Mentorship
A somatic and spiritual mentorship to awaken your next layer of purpose, pleasure, and passion. Join the facilitators all around the world leading others in relationality.
“Working with Adriana was like a cosmic launchpad. I truly feel that I achieved everything I dreamed of as far as starting an online course, writing more, growing in my relationship with my beloved. But way more than that I grew in my emotional capacity, my relationship with holding myself, and my capacity for facilitation in general. Feeling that life has taken a massive pivot in the direction I wanted to be going. So grateful!”
— Olivia Pavlov embodiment coach and healer
This training is For
the healers, coaches, therapists, sacred rebels, the artists who came to create change,
the lovers who refuse to play small.
Are you ready to:
dive into Awakening heart-led healing somatic movement meditation,
decolonize your body, heart and mind from patriarchy and step into the empowerment of relationally
expand your Energetic and somatic education,
transform your relationships and life by OWNING THIS NEXT LAYER OF YOUR GIFTS?!
DO you need support in putting your offerings out into the world in a way that feels authentic and have a space to both surrender and strategize your next layer of service into the world?
The feminine always wants more. When this is filtered through our wounding, we search outside for what we will only ever receive from within. In Body Temple, we awaken and celebrate the holiness of our humanity that includes sensuality, sexuality, aliveness, worth, beauty, eros, and our sense of belonging.
The mystics teach us that ecstasy is our true nature and we need to have access to what is true within us if we came here to serve this broken world. We teach you both physical and energetic anatomy, Earth-based rituals, and connecting to the abundance of elements inside you.
We teach you to be the alchemist of your love and life.
Together we change our experience of suffering from one of oppression to one of living in service to love.
“Whether we learn how to love ourselves and others will depend on the presence of a loving environment. Self-love cannot flourish in isolation.”
-bell hooks
“If you are ready to step out of healing as a form of correction/elimination and step into embodied love and authentic relationality... Adriana and her offerings hold space for the feminine path on which this naturally emerges and nurtures the remembrance of your Self as divine love. Forever grateful for your fierce devotion and all the ways you show up and serve this world.“”
The invitation
Some of us can hear better when we are listening so I make this 10 minute audio invitation to give you a better grasp of the training. You’ll know if you’re called…
Your Body is a Temple
Your Body is a Temple
Hi Soul Friends!
I’m Adriana and I am here to hold Love Herself as the highest guiding light in our lives. Learning how to stay centered, and how to find your center in the midst of chaos and change…is our specialty.
Given the state of the world, it makes sense that we have to do some training to be able to access the joy, worth, play, pleasure, and purpose that is our birthright.
Freedom and love live within, and the body is a vessel to allow the Love of Source to move into this world. We know just how to help you create safety in your system so you can gather the tools you need to feel free in your body. Maybe you feel this is the year that is pivotal for your growth and expansion as a practitioner and/or artist and change agent in your life.
If you are looking for a community that refuses to buy into the systems that say we should fear our body or that keep us stuck in cycles of unworthiness and smallness, you are in the right place!
“Working with Adriana changed my life.
Her fierce heart holds so much power and wisdom - especially concerning the nervous system, somatics and authentic relating.
The guidance she offers in business and lineage healing is absolutely worth it - if you are looking for support to make bold moves in your life, work, and relationships, Adriana is it.
I can’t recommend working with her enough!”
—EMMA ZECK | Soul Artist + Poet”
In Body Temple Community we affirm the human experience for the sake of liberation, both personal and collective.
The school Body Temple and this body of work that flows through us is the service I have been initiated into.
I have been training and studying the languages of the body and esoteric knowledge, somatic and spiritual work for 17 years and training others to facilitate for 8 of those years.
I am endlessly blown away by how much more is possible when we come together to heal, transform and take our work out into the communities where we are meant to serve.
When you are a deeply feminine being, meaning you care about the ways we are all interconnected and choose to live from a space of relatedness…
you need strong containers and boundaries to hold all the Shakti and what wants to be birthed through you.
Together, we learn how imperative co-regulation is with nature, in community and with Source Herself.
Get a feel for our vibe
We are devoted to the Love that flows through US, in service to humanity.
We heal not because there is something wrong with us,
OUT with the systems we live inside, we've lost touch with the natural ways of being that used to be part of our culture. We struggle to handle grief and the intensity of following our soul's calling. We don't heal because there's something wrong with us!!
And we should never have to cry alone. Together, we can reclaim our power, pleasure, and purpose through singing, dancing, sharing our gifts, participating in Earth rituals, joining grief circles, WRITING, joy against all odds and sharing our stories.
These practices help us release stored stress and awaken more humility, reverence, and heart-centered living.
In somatic work, we learn to soften and move from fixity to flow, accessing states of play, joy, pleasure, and rest with the support of others. T
Through traditional Tantra practices, we deepen our relationship with the Mystery and learn to work with our nervous system.
Lets walk side by side with broken open hearts to awaken more humility, reverence, and heart-centered living and loving.
This training is the first of it’s kind…
in that we are sinking in over a longer period of time so we can move as slowly and sustainably as possible. So we can dive in together online but also be immersed in the day-to-day of our lives and living fully alive.
Join our community that cares about both spirituality and our nervous system and integrating through our somatic experience. We work with the intersection between the subtle body and our physiology. The elements within and without.
We do Goddess Sadhana and worship to learn how to both awaken and harness the energy of worth, beauty, eros, love, intuition, creativity, devotion, and healing. The Goddesses’ we work with are from the Tantric Tradition–Durga, Kali, Lakshmi, Saraswati, and the Black Madonna and Mary Magdalene.
We teach you how to channel energy through your body via Tantra, and the living experience of freeing trauma from our systems–opening to the wildly creative and intuitive humans we are. The artist within and the one who knows how to heal when given the space to do so.
who want to go deeper in their healing and spirituality in an embodied way, and expand their capacity to lead from a place of love
who wants to lead Body Temple Dance or bring more nervous system work and somatics into the work they already do
who are either already facilitating or have a sense that they want to and they're just not sure yet how or what it will look like
who want to heal their relationships and express themselves more fully through the body and through the love that they can create and channel through their body
This program is intended for healers, artists, therapists and humans:
“Your hand opens and closes, opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralyzed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birds’ wings.”
The Three Trimesters:
This program has three parts like the Body Temple Dance methodology (you’ll learn that in the training, we don’t give away all our secrets!)
Diving into your Dharma and Drama:
(MAy - July)
In the first three months, we will uncover and dive into your own personal process and practice with the nervous system and the states that arise, learning how to work with them. We will go into your personal sadhana with the Tantric tradition and Goddess.
We will gently ease our way into the training with three sessions per month. One on somatic education, one on the Tantric Goddess’ and one coaching call for questions and responses.
There will also be extra live and recorded Body Temple Dance Classes as well to come to live on Fridays or have in your library for connection anytime. They are one hour!

The Art of Facilitation:
(August - October)
The second three months are focused on the Art of Facilitation. Facilitation to us is how available we are to allow our body to be the vessel for the work that the soul came here to do. It is also about our perception, which comes from our Autonomic Nervous System. We facilitate everything in our lives from our relationships to the creative and soul work we came to offer the world. Being a great facilitator takes training.
We will be building confidence through somatic exercises and learning how to teach Body Temple Dance as a framework for intimacy in our lives. We will meet more often in this section, two weekends per month.

Being Seen: Surrender into your Soul-Led Service + Business
(November - January)
In the last phase of our time together you will have more space to integrate and also get support from your peers in small groups for practice as well as sharing an offering unique to you.
We will support you in putting together what you need to take the next step in your souls led Business and offerings.
Together we will open up the portal to being seen and taking the Goddess as your forever business partner and working with your shadows around money and receptivity.

The main intention is that we are spreading the vibration of unconditional love.
Ancestral shame gets liberated in this shamanic dance and journey work. We heal the split and disconnect between us and the Earth, us and the body.
This will give you the access to the support you actually need to go deep in your own healing while also showing up for your life.
Bring this ancient ways into our modern world. It is such a joy and pleasure to do this work and I am changed by every person that takes our training, and I am looking forward to being with you all in this container!
“When by the flood of your tears the inner and the outer have fused into one, you will find Her whom you sought with such anguish, nearer than the nearest, the very breath of life, the very core of every heart.”
The Secret Fourth Section of this training is:
COMMUNITY!!! People make new friends and mostly have a place to come and have their truth, beauty, worth and love vibrationally mirrored, which in itself changes the ways we relate to ourselves and the world. People from all over the world will attend and show up for journey of authentic love and service.
We have an App that is great for conversation and connection where you will be able to visit as often as you’d like to process, integrate and sink into the support.
Body temple is a wholistic meditation and movement language and practice that welcomes both the shadow and divinity.
Alongside the Tantric Goddess practices, we share practical nervous system work and support you in building a language around your experience being in a body. Everything from learning about central vagal energy to co-regulation and how it heals our relationships.
This is not an “add more” type of training, this is about the feminine art of relatedness and welcoming all parts of you to be loved.
It’s an unlearning as much as a gathering of new tools.
This is a community standing in authenticity and vulnerability.
The benefit of our program is that this is a small enough group that we can give everyone the attention they need to deepen their facilitation skills and expand their sense of both soul and business.
Ultimately it’s up to you and how you choose to show up, but we’ll support you in that choice.
In BT Dance we dismantle perfectionism, turn passion into action and stand in true and inherent worth together
This is about you becoming more YOU.
We encourage you to unravel and we will also provide you with consistent support to shift limiting beliefs around:
🌹 yourself as an artist, a creative and caring soul who already knows how to heal and serve when given the space to do so.
🌹 not trusting yourself or feeling confident while being vulnerable (this is hard for everyone but we can do it!)
🌹 Money, worth, God, sex, beauty, business, masc/fem binary, trauma, spirituality, healing, wellness, and all the ways white supremacy and a culture disconnected from the mother has robbed those on the margins and even white folks from seeing the possibility to make the changes they came here to live into.
FAQ:
What genders are welcome?
All genders are welcome. We will have some classes that are open to women and humans with vulvas but the majority of this training is open to all genders.

how many sessions Shall I Attend live if i want certification?
You are asked to attend to a minimum of 2 LIVE SESSIONS per month. For the other sessions, you can listen to the recordings.
We heal shame through sharing who we are and serving with our unique gifts.
This Training will be a really fun way to connect to your body beyond beauty standards, breaking the typical unconscious barriers about what it means to be beautiful, embodied, Wealthy and worthy.
We will work with the three goddesses Saraswati, Lalita, & Lakshmi throughout the training to connect us to Intuition, erotic love & worth.
IF YOU HAVE THE DESIRE TO BE MORE CONNECTED TO YOUR BODY TO AN APPROACH TO SPIRIT THAT is IMMINENT more THAN TRANSCENDENT THIS TRAINING IS FOR YOU!
EVEN IF YOU FEEL AFRAID TO GATHER IN A GROUP IN THIS WAY, WE WILL HEAL WHEN WE DO.
