Ancient Futures Temple for Female Bodies

Welcome to The Ancient Futures Temple for Women

Where activism meets eros and magic

Have you ever wondered what you can do to create the future that you know is possible (the future our children would want to live in), but you don't know how? 

Are you an activist at heart, and do you deeply care about the current ecological, economic or spiritual crisis in the world? 

Or are you someone who pushes any negative thoughts about the future away, and you'd rather not even deal with the future scenarios that are coming our way? 

Wherever you are on this spectrum, thank you for finding this page. 

I have been feeling this call for years - the call to gather with sisters, mothers, and pussy owners regularly to work on the energetic realms of the current crisis, while  also making a donation to a cause (like Treesisters, water-projects, peace-activists, etc.). 

The idea is simple, yet profound. 

We gather every full moon - both online and in person - to focus on a specific aspect of the spiritual and planetary crisis on this planet, feel our grief around this topic to create space inside our bodies, and then reimagine how the future could be different in every detail. 

This is followed by a sex magic practice, where we activate our sexual energy and draw this energy through our body and into the cosmos. 

Sex magic is a practice I learned from my teachers Layla Martin and Margot Anand. It has changed many aspects of my life on a personal level, which tells me it's time to apply this practice on a global, collective scale. 

This is not an ordinary temple, and the goal here is not self-improvement or self-gratification. 

This is not for those who don't care about the future of our planet. 

It is not for those who want to feel depressed, hopeless, or avoid their feelings. 

This Temple is a reclamation of the ‘whore’ and the ‘witch’ - a reclamation of our sexual power as a creative and magical force of nature that can change the whole world. 

Why reclaim the ‘whore’? 

The whore is an archetype. A part of us that experiences pleasure and our erotic nature without shame. 

Not to seduce others. 

But to inspire others. 

And in this case, to offer our pleasure to the other-than-human world. 

To allow our desire for the world we want to live in, to be fully felt and embodied. 

To orgasm because you are feeling deeply aroused by nature or a vision of the world that lights you up, not just by a partner or by your own hands. 

Why reclaim the witch? 

I see the witch as an archetype of the mystical part of us that remembers how to speak to the plants, the spirits and the magic all around us. The witch is the healer, the shaman, the magician, the medicine carrier, the herbalist, the tantrica. 

She is connected to a feminine force in the cosmos, one that understands magic and the workings of this world. We need to reclaim her, because we need to remember ourselves as Earth, as power, as co-creators with the universe (not as victims of life). 

In short, we need to believe in magic again - in the idea that we can transform matter in the way we desire it if it is for the good of all. 

By bringing these two archetypes together in a sex-magic ritual in the service of a positive, joyful vision of the future, we may find that we are more powerful than we can possibly imagine. 

What can you expect: 

🐉 This event is only online. Often, this is a hybrid event, both online and in person. 

🐉 Opening Circle and Ritual 

🐉 Collective sharing of different stories and information about an aspect of the current  planetary crisis 

At this particular ritual, we will focus the broken water cycle and the consequences of that around the world. 

You are invited to contribute to the shares with your own insight and sorrow. 

 🐉  Guided heart-opening practice that leads us into a 15-20 min group grief ritual

Why the grief ritual? 

To get in touch with the deeper emotions that we aren't feeling on a daily basis. Only through grieving, we can access the emotions of the more beautiful world, a more joyful vision of the future and how that would feel in our bodies. 

🐉 Sharing circle to co-create a clear and detailed vision of the future that we'd love to live in, with a focus on this particular challenge. The aim here is to feel what this vision would feel like. 

🐉 Guided sex-magic ritual where we send these feelings and visions out into the cosmos 

🐉 Integration, sharing and closing circle 

Event Structure 

We will begin sharp at 6 pm with an opening ritual, so please arrive a bit earlier to get settled and connected. You will receive some teachings on the ancient temple arts, and can ask questions. 

From there we will dive into 2.5 hours of guided solo practices, grief ritual and sex magic. All of these practices are an invitation to connect with deeper parts of yourself, you do not have to go through all of them. 

You then have one hour left to be in free-flow and connect with other sisters erotically or otherwise.  

Around 9:30 pm, we'll invite everyone to sit together and share a soup to ground and integrate before going home.

Why Attend?

If sex magic works and we can co-create with the universe and transform matter based on energetic shifts, why wouldn't we want to apply this technology to transforming something BIG? 

Having said that, it is for all female bodies who want to experience more self-love, sexual empowerment and connection to something greater. 

It is also a safe space to meet our edges, grief a world that is changing, heal from shame, meet our longing, our sadness, and our sexual trauma.

 I  believe that there is nothing more transformational to the current system than a group of women who have claimed themselves sexually. There is a direct connection from sexuality to power and money. You cannot be sexually empowered and not feel that energy move into other areas of your life. 

Experience liberation, transformation, and bliss - but more than the personal satisfaction, you might get greatly rewarded for offering your pleasure to life. 

Open the door to a deeper understanding of yourself, others and the evolution of consciousness in ways you’ve never imagined.

Come as you are, leave closer to who you're meant to be.

What to prepare 

Your own sarong or blanket and a cushion. 

Warm socks in case you want to keep those on. 

Sexy outfit, kimonos, dressing gown, and something warm and cosy for afterwards. 

Offerings for the altar. 

Toys and anything kinky. 

Water bottle to stay hydrated. 

Longer philosophical background story  and why I believe this work is important and will have an impact on the world: 

I am currently writing a book about this as it's important to get this story right. But for now, I just want to give you an overview of some of my journey. 

Slowly, I am returning and studying animism and indigenous wisdom - the consciousness of 99.9% of our ancestors. At the heart of animism is the idea that nature is spirit and power - that every river, every tree, every plant has its spiritual essence and is conscious. Animism also tells us about the greater forces at play in the cosmos. Forces that we cannot always see or understand, but that have created the universe as we know it. 

Having worked as a Marine Biologist for many years, this made a lot of sense to me (even though I was scientifically minded, I observed that animals change their behaviour with the moon cycles,  recognize me when I come back, and I instinctively sensed that they had feelings). 

A few years later I met Andreas Weber, the author of ‘Everything Feels’, a scientist who combines biology with philosophy, who opened my eyes to a new understanding of life (an understanding that is completely lacking in the mainstream consciousness): 

Life is relationship. Life is Eros. 

Eros is the constant attraction that is inherent in life and the desire of matter to merge with other matter (like atoms merge with other atoms, proteins form molecules with other proteins, air and food that merges with our bodies, animals that want to merge with other animals to reproduce, etc.). I began to embody this worldview more and more as I volunteered at Schumacher College, Devon, an established college that taught Holistic Science (how science and spirituality go hand in hand) and Alternative Economics (how we can transform the economic and political systems of our world). I learned more about what we can learn from nature about life-style, about deep listening, about relationship, about food production, and respect for the land. 

I feel that nature responds to us. In my understanding, it makes a difference in the way we speak to the water we drink. It makes a difference when we pray to the fire, and when we share a bit of our meal with the land as an offering. I believe that these spirits do not only exist in an isolated way - but that there is also something I'd describe eg. as a collective ‘water spirit’ or a collective ‘butterfly spirit’, similar to our ‘collective consciousness’. By calling in and working with these collective spirits, we can communicate with them. 

We are looking to restore an erotic, loving, desiring relationship with the other than human world 

What we are currently seeing mirrored back to us is the response of a nature that doesn't feel very loved, honoured or respected. 

The water cycles are broken. 

The oceans will be fished empty by 2048 if we continue to overfish them in the way we do today. 

The soil is sick, and according to some studies, it is believed that we might only have a few years of production left before no crop will grow on our land no more. 

The air is polluted. 

The weather around the world is becoming increasingly more intense and more unusual. 

The people are more anxious, more depressed, and addictions as well as neurodiversities and mental health challenges are increasing. 

Most people don't believe in any religion anymore, but also lack guidance and a deeper understanding of why we are here at this particular time and what life is all about. 

Several times during the past 3 years, we feared a big war that could have involved atomic bombs. 

I am not saying, these times are especially bad. But we have moved very close towards catastrophic climate change. 

Not to mention the economic challenges that lie ahead of us when AI really takes off… 

It doesn't matter that much, if we agree on how the future of the world might look like, what matters is what we do until then. 

Ram Dass said something similar: “If the world ends soon, what we need is to empty our mind and open our heart. If the world continues and life continues to thrive on Earth, we also need to empty our mind and open our heart” 

I would add that we want to feel pleasure and beauty until the day we die - no matter if that day is sooner or later. 

That's why we work with embodiment, opening our hearts, and diving into pleasure - what better thing to do with your life? 

We are also looking to ask the spirits for help 

A shamanic guide and author, Manda Scott, has once said to me: “What we need for these times are 3 things: We need to train our capacity for strong single point focus to not lose our shit (empty your mind),  we need to keep our hearts open to be highly aware of everything (what Ram Dass said, too), and we need to ask the other than human world for help.” 

What better way to ask the spirits for their support than by offering our pleasure and our highest vision of a more beautiful world that we know is possible.

My Core Messages: 

Everything is sacred. 

Everything is welcome. Please don't harm yourself and others. Honor yourself and others. If you are in a relationship, please have a serious conversation about your fears, desires and boundaries before you join this space. 

Everything is love. I am love, you are love. Every single being on has a purpose in this universe. 

We are one consciousness. The world only mirrors back to us what we can see in ourselves. 

We can heal through a loving presence and witnessing ourselves, and being witnessed by others. 

Everything can heal. Love heals everything. 

Own your ‘yes’ and your ‘no’. People-pleasing doesn't help anyone. 

Intention and surrender are pre-requisites for transformation.
