BODY TEMPLE CHURCH FREE ONLINE EVENT

Resurrecting the Feminine

April 13–15, 2026   ·   Mon, Tue, Wed   ·      10–11:30am PT   ·   Online via Zoom 
GRIEF, RAGE, AND ANCESTRAL REMEMBERANCE.

What if the things you've been taught to fear - grief, rage, your own wildness, your own death - are actually the doorway to everything you've been longing for?

This is not a wellness event. It's not a performance

It's an invitation to come into full contact with the most alive, most raw, most real parts of yourself — the parts that don't get airtime in ordinary life.

For three mornings, we gather to move through what most of us were never taught to move through: the grief that lives in the body.

The rage that's been sitting in the pelvis for years.

The hunger for life that gets mistaken for something dangerous. The shadow self we've tried to make palatable.

We call it Sex & Death because these are the two things humans fear and hunger for most - and because everything that actually matters lives in that territory.

What we’ll move through

DAY 1 · MONDAY APRIL 13

Grief, Rage & the Body That Knows

with Adriana Rizzolo

Somatic movement, dance, and ritual - working with grief and rage not as problems to solve but as energies of truth and vitality. To honor what hurts is to open the doorway to love.


DAY 2 · TUESDAY APRIL 14

Hysterical

with Adriana and Raquel Garcia · Sacred Theater & Shadow Comedy

The parts of us that have been called 'too much,' 'dramatic,' 'irrational' - they deserve a stage. Sacred theater and shadow comedy as portal to truth. Bring the part of you that has never been allowed to be this funny, this dark, this free.

DAY 3 · WEDNESDAY APRIL 15

Into the Underworld

with Adriana and Alex Gonzalez · Grief Work

Deep grief work. What we haven't fully grieved, we carry. What we carry, we pass on. This session is a ceremony — for the losses named and unnamed, the endings that never got a proper goodbye.


Grief, rage, and aliveness are threads of the same tapestry.

Grief, rage, and aliveness are threads of the same tapestry.

WHO THIS IS FOR

→  Anyone who senses there's more life available - beneath the numbness, the management, the coping

→  Those who are tired of spirituality that bypasses the body, the shadow, the mess

→  Healers, practitioners, artists who want to work at depth - with themselves and with others

→  Anyone who has been carrying grief they don't know how to move

→  Those drawn to the intersection of the erotic, the sacred, and the real
