Events with Terra
Terra hosts in-person transformational trainings aiming to help people to open up to their inner source of strength and wisdom, and to become thriving embodied beings. Their passion is offering initiatory spaces for conscious and therapeutic Kink, and supporting people to get masterful at creating ritual scenes supporting healing, expansion and transformation in this realm.
Together with Francesca Gentille, Terra created and guides the Shamanic Kink Immersion and Certification, supporting potent transformational work in the realms of Transformational and Therapeutic BDSM, in an all gender setting.
Together with Simon Magnus, Terra created and guides The Rite of Surrender, a weeklong deep dive into Power Exchange, Roleplay and Sensation especially tailored for Queer and GBTQ+ Men.
Terra also hosts the transformational 7-day ISTA retreats in Guatemala and Belgium. The ISTA (International School of Temple Arts) sexual shamanic intensives are one-week in-person trainings that encourage and support participants to reclaim their sovereignty and inner knowing, and assist people to stand up strong in the world as the fully alive human beings they came here to be.
Terra hosts an annual Queer-inviting ISTA Level 1 training in Belgium, and also hosts multiple ISTA weeklong trainings at the potent Lake Atitlan in Mayan Guatemala
In our workshops and retreats we create spaces for all that we are to be seen and to be expressed as; spaces that support great healing, fun, and reconnection with oneself and with others. Like this, we help empower people to stand up as they truly are. We aim to create an inclusive field, where we all get to experience a variety of reference points on what it is to be human on this planet. And to get to know more of ourselves while becoming more compassionate and understanding towards others. All our offerings welcome and celebrate beings of all gender identities, socio-cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations and expressions.

Shamanic Kink Immersion
Threshold of Dawn
May 4-10, 2026
Iceland
A Kink is anything that lives outside of the field of conventionally expected or normalized expressions of desire, feeling, sensuality and sexuality. Most people have one or another sort of kink that they may have discovered, explored or fantasized about. Where our kinks come from, why they are there, or where they want to guide us is often a mystery.
Priestess Francesca & PriestX Terra combine over 30 years in ritual & shamanism, and 16 years in conscious BDSM, sacred sexuality and intimacy work. Together, they created the Shamanic Kink Immersion, a powerful body of work synthesizing the ancient ways of transformational scene play for the empowerment of the contemporary Kink, sacred sexuality, spiritual and healing arts communities.
Join Terra and Francesca at the Threshold of Dawn in Iceland this May.
