Queer Trans Inclusive Tantra & Kink

How is this different from other Shamanic Training or BDSM Training? 

Most BDSM in the Western World is focused on fun, pleasure, and exploration. Often minimalized or missing are up-to-date information on cultural trauma, privilege, shadow, nuanced consent, the evolution of identity and orientation, and the latest science on recovery from trauma. 


Shamanic Kink is unique in its format, practicums, and design; cultivated to maintain the client’s psychological, emotional, and physical safety, and to empower their authentic pathway to wholeness. 


Shamanic Kink is exceptional in the ally relationships you are guided to develop with other clinicians, medical professionals, and communities. In the Shamanic Kink Certification Program, you are given the language and skills to be received and respected as a professional in the field of sexology.


The Values of the Shamanic Kink Certification Program are:


  • Cutting Edge Ethics
  • Cutting Edge Consent and Boundaries
  • Cutting Edge Gender, Sexual Orientation, and Relationship Design
  • Cutting Edge neurobiology of love and lust
  • Cutting Edge education in attunement, attachment, and recovery from trauma
  • Shadow work, ethical power dynamics from teacher/healer to student/client

What's Included?

Your Shamanic Kink journey starts with six live online months of igniting, expanding, and deepening who you are as a Relationship and Intimacy Coach. The program will train you to work both in-person and/or as a telehealth professional. 


It includes unique Somatic Practices developed by International Clinical Shamanic Sexologist Francesca Gentille. The Somatic Inner Aspect Method™ techniques go deeper into rewiring trauma and expanding blissful embodiment with in person practicum immersions.


The 6-month online group journey will be topped off with a 6-Day in-person Immersive in proximity to New York City, taking place July 5-10, 2024.

We will rent an Airbnb together depending on group size, and the organizational process will be held by us. Logistics such as cooking and grocery shopping during the immersive will be a collaborative effort, and the venue and food expenses will be shared among all participants. However, Francesca's and Terra's teaching portions are included in the price of the Certification.

Participation to the 6-day Immersive is required to be able to receive your certification.

Being masterful doesn’t necessarily have to mean being dominant. It's being attuned to what is needed or wanted in the moment, according to the intention being held, and then acting skillfully. Which may include dominance.
