BODY TEMPLE PRESENTSS3X, Descent & Art: An Inanna Initiation Ritual Film Release Party
Full Moon in Pisces Eclipse
August 26th 2026
10-12p PST
BY DONATION
What must die for your art to live?
What kind of support do we need to descend without abandoning ourselves?
And what becomes possible when art is no longer something we make for approval—but a sacred witness, a holy union, and a portal into the primal, feral feminine power that patriarchal culture has worked so hard to sever us from?
The Initiate.
The Descent.
Surrender.
Resurrection.
Eros.
Rebirth.
The Initiate. The Descent. Surrender. Resurrection. Eros. Rebirth.
On August 26, under the Full Moon in Pisces Eclipse, we are gathering for the premiere of our new short ritual film inspired by the descent of Inanna.
This is an initiation into art, shadow, death, creation, and the embodied support we need to die well—and return with more of ourselves intact.
Together, we will experience:
The premiere of our short ritual film on Inanna
A song by Alli Caw, shared with the group
Body Temple Dance as preparation for Shadow Theater
An exploration of the skills and support we need to “die well”
A moderated conversation and Q&A about Shadow Theater, the Inanna ritual, womb as portal, and the creative process
Art-making as sacred witness and holy union
A collective ritual exploring what it takes to live, create, facilitate, and serve from an embodied place—and what we need to sustain this work together
We will gather around the question of how primal, feral feminine power can become an antidote to the forces of oppression, domination, and disembodiment.
Not as an idea. As something lived through the body.
Art can become a portal.
A place where grief is witnessed.
Where death becomes initiation.
Where the exiled parts of us are given form.
Where the body remembers that creation has always belonged to her.
This gathering is for the artists, facilitators, ritualists, healers, holy troublemakers, and community builders who are willing to descend—and who know we were never meant to make the journey alone.
A Ritual of Community Support
This is a by-donation community event, with all proceeds supporting our beloved community member Maia and her baby in traveling from Nigeria to Spain to join us for our Black Madonna pilgrimage.
Together, we have already raised more than $1,000.
Now we are continuing to build the bridge that brings her to us—not through charity, but through relationship, reciprocity, and the collective power of community care.
Your presence and your donation are part of that bridge.
