METAMORPHOSIS
SPAIN INITIATION, May 2025
This facilitator training will support you to become a walking transmission of your gifts so that you can serve the world with purpose, pleasure & Power.
Learn how to gracefully lead groups into somatic, spiritual and sensual depth. Become fluent in the language of the body in order to hold space for radical embodiment and erotic aliveness.
The world is ready for the magic of those who lead from their non-linear ‘deeper than human’ core. We are ready for the leaders who dare to invite people into the mad beauty that this human experience holds. Metamorphosis is a facilitator training for priestesses, magicians, wizards and witches. It is for those who want to hold space for the evolution of human consciousness by embodying what they teach.
#metamorphosis
the training
We invite (aspiring) facilitators and those who are experienced with space holding into an experiential learning environment to develop your unique way of leading sensual, spiritual, and possibly sexual spaces.
Each day we will conceptually and somatically work through a new set of teachings, from personal to professional, and integrate the learnings in an evening temple. We invite you to take what resonates and leave behind what doesn’t. There are a million ways to approach this work and we want you to do it your way. Our time together is meant to support you in finding the courage to truly claim the beauty that wants to pour out of you and into the world.
There will be daily space for putting into practice the learnings you receive, for asking questions and inviting feedback from your fellow participants, in order to refine and crystallise your unique skill set and teaching style. The more you lean into the journey and particularly the afternoon practice sessions, the more you will get out of it.

We deeply believe in this work.
From personal experience, we know that temple spaces hold great potential for true, authentic, and radical expression and, if held well, can massively support people on their journey of becoming more of who they truly are.
We believe in the power of these spaces and want to see many many more of them all over the world, held by those who love their community and want to see it thrive.
That is why we created this training.
metamorphosis
IS RADICAL.
We believe that the number one reason why most people don’t offer these spaces even though they deeply want to is fear. The fear to be seen, to take up space and use their voice. But also the fear to fuck it up or potentially create spaces where others experience harm. For that reason a big part of our week together will focus on teaching you how to hold fear/tension in your body, while being gentle to yourself, how to meet inner and outer resistance and how to create a space that can hold both tenderness and intensity. We know that tools will only get us this far and that the true magic is in being able to surrender to how life wants to move us.
This training will ask you to jump off those edges that you are so terrified of while being held by the love of the group field and the power of the Spanish lands. At no point will you be asked to cross your boundaries and we will continuously challenge the false beliefs that keep you small.
If this intrigues you, you’ve landed in the right place.
we do not teach (neo) tantra
Even though we are familiar with (neo-) tantra and some of what we teach is definitely influenced by that lineage, we feel rather excited about deconstructing any and all belief systems and ideas in order to make space for spontaneous aliveness. Curiosity for the unknown, deep surrender to our non-dual essence and playfulness is a big part of our work and that is what we are devoted to.
We have not been initiated into (neo-) tantra, so we don’t teach it. We also don’t work with feminine/masculine practices or deities, but we do work with the somatic experience of polarities and cosmic principles.
Gender is almost irrelevant in our spaces and only talked about when it comes to the sensitivities of opening erotic spaces and the trauma that people hold in their bodies because of their conditioning and life experiences.
our pillars
These are the pillars that will hold our week. We will do our best to deliver the most in-depth training and we also want to be clear that there’s only so much you can do in 7 days. The training will be packed and have little space for integration, so please make sure to have some time afterwards to let it all sink in, if that’s what you need.
-
Learn how to quieten your mind so that you can track the group and attune to what is needed. Embody self-holding in order to facilitate with loving presence and awareness. Understand the mechanics of surrendered leadership that doesn’t need to control or over-facilitate the space but that is so attuned to the space that facilitation becomes and organic, orgasmic experience.
-
You will learn the fundamentals of opening, holding and closing a vibrational container. The ceremony begins before the participants arrive: learn how to energetically align yourself to the transmission of your work. Understand how to stay in integrity with your intention. Experience the magic of dropping into transpersonal space. Work with the 3D to open higher and deeper realms.
-
If you want to be a great facilitator, you will have to step into your leadership: Working with your voice frequency, clarity, authenticity are a huge part of the job. How do you deal with your resistance or fear? How do you hold yourself, so that your personality is in service to your facilitation and not in the way of it? How do you lead a team of assistants and make sure that the space is held professionally? We will show you what we’ve learnt over the last decade.
-
Introduction to consent & boundary practices. We will show you many different verbal & non-verbal tools and embodied exercises / approaches to one of the core themes of temple nights. We will also show you how to deliver them with joy, ease and fun.
-
Learn about the most important elements of how to set up a solid and smooth temple night experience. Atmosphere is crucial! We will teach you all we know about the physical structure, frame of content and intention. How does one create a container according to the intention or theme of the temple? You’re about to find out.
-
How to lead people into an embodied experience, start-up of a temple, experience intimacy and connection beyond ideas & believes. How to adjust spontaneously to the group flow and choose what supports people in opening up and being more connected to their body and heart. We will share with you our favourite and most successful tools from our background in bodywork, dance & contact improv, esoteric wisdom and body-based spirituality.

THE VENUE
Hidden paradise is a jewel held deep in the foothills of the Alpujarra mountain range, southern spain.
The land itself is a temple and all the work that has been done there to host transformational events, medicine retreats and other life-changing experiences deeply honours the profound magic of these valleys. We will be held by ancient giants who invite presence, slowness and gratitude with the natural spring waters and exotic flowers.
Organic, local and vegetarian food will be lovingly served 3 times a day to nourish your body & soul. Sleeping options are abundant, from dorm to private room, spread across many buildings, tree houses and cabins. Our retreat will happen at the end of May which likely means that it will be warm but not too hot yet.
Learn more about the venue here.
Meet the Facilitators
Celeste and Luzi have been holding temple spaces for many years and are excited to invite you into a space where you get to extract, shape and embody your unique transmission of this work.

The temple is open.
Candles are burning on the altar at the center of the room.
The scent of burning resin and the sweetness of sweat in the air.
A soundscape of voidy music, laughter and moaning fills the space.
We all know that magic is here and we are part of it.
Small groups have formed, each one of them on their journey into aliveness in very different ways.
And even though it looks like we are separate, everyone can sense that one great intelligence is moving us all.
An invisible tapestry of radical aliveness has taken over the space.
A deity of pleasure, beauty and permission.
We call it Eros and with its many faces it dances us all into the dissolution of our narratives around belonging, preferences or love.
This great force is here because we invoked it with our surrender.
And we invoked it because somewhere deep down we want to be free.
Free to love.
Free to sing wildly with our bodies and hearts.
Free to feel everything.
So we came to temple because here, we can be free.
And hopefully we can build a nest in our hearts for this medicine to grow inside of us, wherever we go.
There is a place in my heart that cares so deeply about humanity.
And in that place I see us all being danced by life in temple spaces.
Returning to the ancient rites where body, soul and spirit unite and we remember who we are, who we truly are.
I pray for temples to take over the world.

“Temple” is so much more than a sacred space or a spiritual gathering or a sensual night. Temple is your commitment to live life fully. To be madly in love with humanity in all of its facets. To devote yourself to that bright spark in your heart which cannot be seen, named or explained.Opening the doors to temple spaces requires your commitment to open the deepest chambers of your heart and bring all parts of you home.
It asks you to embody your leadership, voice and creative expression - and let yourself be humbled into realising that it’s not about you and none of it belongs to you.
It’s a courageous path for those who are willing to step into the unknown and learn to be led by their aliveness, curiosity and not-knowing, moment by moment.
There is no right or wrong way to be in temple. The altar of life has many shapes and colours - and might express itself through meditation, prayer, the whole spectrum of emotions, somatic-sensual-experience, creativity or intimate & erotic connection.
Temple is a space where we collapse polarities, identities, hierarchies and structures of separation to return to the one love at our core.
The magic unfolds from releasing concepts & ideas - and cultivating the capacity to listen to how love wants to be expressed through you in each moment.
In temple facilitation you learn to become the most raw, unedited and unapologetic you. You’ll learn how to invite your soul down into the blood and bones of your body to bring your gifts into the 3D.
Temple is a practice, a community and a quality of living which celebrates your individual uniqueness as much as your nothing-ness.
Temple is…
Where a new paradigm of being is born from ancient wisdom. Where the divine and the animal meet in sacred union.
Where grief is ecstatic and pleasure is art.
Where the oracle of your body sings its prayer.Temple is fertile soil for the evolution of humanity. Temple is a collective pilgrimage back to love.

FAQs
-
English. You need to be able to understand and express yourself well in English to participate in this training. That said, we love when you also facilitate some shorter practices in your preferred language, in order to be able to stand in the full transmission of your soul power.
-
A little bit. We will spend one morning introducing this part of the job and be available to any questions you might have about it.
-
Ideally, yes. And of course, it all depends on your personal skills and experience and where you’re at in your facilitator path. The one thing we can say though is that your purpose fire will be fuelled with inspiration after this week and we recommend to ride that wave and start hosting events right away, if you feel ready.

ONLINE OR IN PERSON,
WHich training is for me and do i need one for the other?
Let us help you out….
The Foundations Course (online) is especially designed for people with little to no experience, who wish to define their craft with professional and group support and those who are aleady doing it but feel that something is still missing. In this course Luzi & Celeste will share everything they have learnt over the last 8 years of holding unconventional group spaces, particularly all the wisdom they’ve gained from royally fucking it up. This course will help you to kick off your path as facilitator with ease and confidence.
Prerequisite: You do not need to have any experience to join this course, we do however recommend that you have done a base level of embodiment & awareness work, have held space for others before (1-1 or group) and have a sense of what is your gift to the world, even if you’re not fully clear yet on how to deliver that.The Spain Initiation is for experienced space holders and facilitators only, people who are already established in some way or the other and feel a readiness to start holding temple spaces. This in-person training will focus less on tools and techniques and more on transmission, magic, ritual and group initiation. During these 7 days Luzi & Celeste will serve as the fire starter you need, to help you find the courage in your heart, remember the magic that has always lived inside you and bring temples to your community.
Prerequisite: Either completion of our Foundations Course or any form of deeper experience as facilitator, space holder or assistant (1-1 or group). We also ask that you know yourself well in temple spaces or have attended at least 5-10 temple nights until May 2025.
