WHAT WOMEN ARE SAYING

  • “Wanting to name all that I've received from this space, which is WAY MORE than I could've ever imagined—shamelessness, the most life-changing connections, a soul-deep stability and capacity to share my medicine…

    …wisdom from the sharings and reflections of everyone in this space that is absolutely priceless… deep healing around belonging, a connection to the Goddess/Divine that viscerally feels like the most erect spine… healing deeper wounds around business, lineage, money and Eros… a new found vision for my future… healed the fear of my capacity to show up as a facilitator + guide… restructured my relationship to the masculine face of money… expanded my ability to sit with grief/death without running, changing, hiding… SO SO MUCH.”

    — Maia-Rose

  • "As a new mother, this training helped me feel supported in doing the work for myself so I can be the mother and human I want to be in this world.

    For a very long time, I felt like I was being chased by wounds I wasn’t ready to look at. Anxiety, unease, avoidance… Adriana guides you through your subtle body into the darker beautiful places that have been waiting. The wound IS the medicine—as long as you’re willing to go with love, which is always her approach… I began to notice more space in my body and heart. We are all wounded healers.”

    — Lauren Bratman

WELCOME TO BODY TEMPLE’S SOMATIC MYSTERY SCHOOL

An initiation into Dark Goddess Doula Business & Pleasure Training

A journey of eros, belonging, and cultivating right relationship with sex, death, money, and the soul.

My work as a love, sex, and death artist—rooted in years of personal experience and training in Tantra and somatic education—bridges the physical and the spiritual.

This program isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about meeting yourself.
Becoming a vessel of compassion, transformation, and deep embodiment.

I teach people how to meet death in a new way—physical, emotional, and egoic. I give them tools to navigate thresholds with presence and care.

the HAUNTING of the FEMININE & the POWER of SOMATIC TRANSFORMATION

Since the burning of hundreds of thousands of women, queer folks, and trans men during the rise of the church’s reign of terror, a part of every woman—every sensitive human—feels fundamentally accused.

A quiet undercurrent of blame runs through our veins.
Shame embedded in our bones.
We rise anyway.

The Dark Goddess Doula path is a somatic exploration of God, sex, death, and money—the foundational forces of human existence. We rarely sit with them raw. But transformation requires embodiment, not bypass.

Somatics + Tantra is the fastest path I’ve found to healing.
Everything from sex to spirit to wealth becomes sacred when experienced through the body.

God

not external, but felt internally through the body’s own sacredness.

Sex

our visceral truth, our intimacy, our authenticity.

Death

the ultimate surrender, revealing the essence beneath identity.

Money

a sacred force distorted by shame until we reclaim it somatically.

We are haunted by the past, by unresolved wounds.
But being haunted is not a curse—it’s an invitation.

MY STORY

Meet Adriana

I inherited my father’s intense emotions, rage, and grief… and buried my own. For twenty years I numbed myself. His death awakened the haunting I had avoided.

A mantra flowed through me: Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu.
It became my anchor.

Years later, somatic healing allowed me to release his haunting and reclaim myself. Our bodies hold memory—not just our own, but our lineage. And when we feel instead of fix, when we integrate instead of escape, we transform.

This is the work.

MY STORY

WHY I teach this

I’ve built my business from the ground up, led by my body, desires, and soul calling. I believe in lifelong learning—teachers as students, healers as receivers.

This program is open to all women and individuals with vulvas.
We offer scholarships for BIPOC and accessible pricing options.
No one should be lost in addiction, disconnection, or draining work. You deserve alignment and aliveness.

WHY SOMATICS IS THE FOUNDATION

We inherited fear of our power.
We inherited control over, not power within.

Your nervous system determines your perception of reality.

This is why you can meditate for years and still repeat the same patterns in love, sex, and money.

Learning coherence changes what you attract.
This is for those ready to learn how the nervous system shapes intimacy, wealth, sex, and love.

WHAT YOU’LL BE TRAINED IN

THE CURRICULUM

Let’s dance with the sacred together.

Over six months you'll go deep into the practices that most facilitator programs still don't touch — and come out with real skills, real certification, and a real practice if that's what you're building.

THREAD ONE

Embodied Facilitation

This training deepens your skills as a facilitator across all areas of the work — learning to hold space for the full range of what comes up in a room, to read what a body is carrying, and to stay present without fixing, directing, or managing what wants to move.

THREAD TWO

Grief & ReBirth

Grief not as a problem to move through, but as a doorway. You'll learn to hold and lead grief circles, writing circles, and ritual ceremony around death and dying — including the grief that lives in the body long after the story has ended.

THREAD THREE

Ego Death & Tending

Supporting the psyche through threshold moments. The undoing. What comes before the new self is born. You'll learn how to stay present in those liminal spaces without collapsing or fixing.

THREAD FOUR

Rage Rituals

How to work with rage as sacred medicine — holding space for it, moving it through the body, transforming it rather than managing it. Rage as information. Rage as life force. Rage as the thing we've been told to make small and quiet, reclaimed.

THREAD FIVE

Womb Healing & Sacred Sexuality

Somatic sex education rooted in the Deborah Sundal lineage. Womb healing practices you can hold for others — in circles, in one-to-one sessions, in ceremony. The body as the primary text.

THREAD SIX

Sacred Theater & Ritual

Womb constellations, embodied movement, and shadow work as theater. How to bring ritual into facilitation — not as performance, but as a genuine technology for transformation.

  • “Working with Adriana was like a cosmic launchpad… I achieved everything I dreamed of… and even more emotional capacity, self-holding, and facilitation power. My life pivoted in the direction I always wanted.”

    — Olivia Pavlov | Author & Intimacy Coach

  • “As soon as I got involved, I knew I landed in the right place. If you’re considering Adriana’s work: you’ve landed in the right place. Go for it.”

    — Charlemagne | Tarot Deck Author

  • “If you’re ready to step out of healing as correction and into embodied love and authentic relationality, Adriana’s offerings nurture the remembrance of your Self as divine love.”

    — Alli | Songstress, Voice Liberator, Mentor

For those who want formal recognition.

Certification is available for those who want it. These aren't add-ons. They are woven into the bones of the training. You'll be living this material, not just studying it.

WOMB HEALER LEVEL ONE

Certifying you to lead womb healing circles and hold one-to-one somatic sessions rooted in the Deborah Sundal lineage.

GRIEF & DEATH DOULA LEVEL ONE

Certifying you to hold grief circles, support people through death and dying, and facilitate ritual around loss, rebirth, and threshold.

Some of the topics we’ll cover

  • Business strategy tailored to what is true for YOU

  • Sex magic, men, money, nervous system capacity

  • Disentangling money from your mission

  • Pricing from liberation—not fear

  • Sensual self-expression and sacred sexuality practices

  • Communication tools for grief and heartbreak

  • Healthy relationship with social media

  • Becoming a better facilitator/teacher

  • Authentic relating, intimacy, and connection

  • Money coaching for ancestral and somatic woundings

  • Two full months of the training are dedicated to this — because you cannot build a sustainable practice from a dysregulated nervous system.

    This isn't mindset work. It isn't manifestation scripts. We go into your relationship with money at the root — somatically, honestly, without spiritual bypass. How your body has been conditioned to relate to income, value, and being paid for this kind of work. What happens in your nervous system when someone asks your rates. The stories you inherited about what it means to charge for healing.

    We build a new foundation from there. Stable. Embodied. Aligned with your actual life, not a fantasy version of it.

    You'll leave with clarity on your offers, your pricing, your positioning — and a nervous system that can hold more income without contracting away from it.
