“I benefited so much from learning about so many parts of my body that I’ve never had the opportunity to learn about explicitly.
This class helped me connect with my body in new ways and inspired me to become more intimate with myself. It helped me tap into the wisdom of my body and feel safer and more grounded.
The images, language, and context Maya provides made the class very accessible and inspiring to me as a gender non-conforming 2spirit person. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to learn about their body in a supportive space.”
— Nat Verse Love Alexander

“The Holistic Arousal Class was incredibly illuminating and informative in a way that was both somatic and ancestral.
I knew that my power, my energy, my source, my creativity all came from this area, but it was the first time I got to see and name, look at and lay eyes on the internal workings.
I became more familiar with my source of juicy flow, you know, literally and scientifically lol.
I’m super grateful for the class.”

“I loved the Holistic Arousal Class for so many reasons. It was a sex positive, supportive learning environment.
The vibe Maya created made me feel comfortable and safe to explore and ask any and all questions. It was also super fun and very informative. I enjoyed learning about the science of orgasm and arousal for all bodies; especially the dope ass power of the clit.
I left the class wondering why we don’t learn this in school… answer: because we live in a world centered on the pleasure of white cis-men. Fuck the patriarchy!”

your guides:
The juicy topic of holistic arousal is an infinite exploration of learning. I’ve been in a deep journey, always learning more, & sharing it in evolving forms over the years.
Each time I share this material, I deepen my embodied experience and understanding of it. So it’s exciting to share space to co-create a container and enter the portal of communing with this aspect of ourselves.
I’m passionate about sharing this info that should be part of our basic sex-ed but has been largely hidden & repressed.
Grateful to have selma’s powerful magic and support in re-birthing this offering and holding the sacred container for holistic learning in community!

i spent most of the Holistic Arousal class with my jaw dropped.
i couldn’t believe how ignorant i was about my body/ies! i felt curiosity and rage. excitement and fear. giggly and turned on. i was activated in ways that took a few days, weeks, months to really sink in.
i did in fact feel holistically aroused, empowered to go deeper into my healing journey. so i’m honored to be a part of sharing this magic with others who wish to enter into a holistic knowing of themselves.

*******************************************************************************************
Let’s uncover what was repressed, hidden, & forced underground.
Let’s shine light onto the shadows of shame & misinformation, with intention, awareness, & sharing of stories.
Talking about this stuff can potentially bring up a lot.
Spaces of numbness might open up and challenging feelings could arise like discomfort, confusion, grief, rage, or danger.
Or it might not bring up any major feelings besides curiosity and interest.
Accessing new levels of awareness also has the potential to open up more capacity for desire, pleasure, inspiration, love, & passion.
Let’s be gentle & intentional in our process and set up a solid container of support and care.

Community Agreements
Talking about bodies and sexuality can be sensitive, highly personal, potentially uncomfortable, or triggering.
In order to co-create our best version of safety inside of this sacred container, we offer the following agreements about how we intend to hold this space. in the hopes that they may help you decide if this space is in alignment for you at this time.
If you sign up, you’ll get a more detailed community agreement form to review before finalizing registration.

Are committed to respecting and honoring everyone’s identity, body autonomy, preferences, choices in language, and lifestyle.
Want to be in a body positive & sex positive space that also respects asexual identities.
Enjoy meditation, visualization, & embodiment practices (or don’t mind sitting out while it’s happening).
Want to commit to show up, be present & intentionally co-create a ritual space for learning (turning on camera, participating with voice or chat is optional).

Have support systems in place in case challenging feelings come up for you during or after the class.
