tepping into the lands of olive oil, fresh baked bread and ripened tomatoes wafting on the breeze. The scent of sensuality hovers over the air, with sunsets oozing femininity that beckon your own inner God/dess.
Imagine being surrounded by other powerful women & men whom you’ve come to love + trust through powerful ceremony and ritual- each appreciating one another’s beauty, wisdom and gifts in the solidarity of genuine authentic sisterhood. As you enter the palazzo dressed in adornment and garments that evoke your inner goddess, you set yourself down for dinner with your council of fellow Kings + Queens.
You are bathed and massaged…your holy vessels worshipped with artful ceremony, sensuality, and romance to the level of comfort and desire you wish.
Into the depths of your temple, pleasure & desire - you unleash the power of your womb, yoni & heart in this initiation with the Goddess Aphrodite.
Imagine
This retreat is a dedicated practicum for Temple Arts Alchemy Practitioner students — a space to deepen, embody, and practice the skills, frameworks, and modalities learned throughout the program.
Here, you step into the living temple to refine your craft as a Sex Priest/ess through experiential, hands-on rituals. This is where technique becomes embodiment.
Across the week, you’ll have the opportunity to both offer and receive the practices you’ve studied — from sensual ritual and devotional touch to archetypal embodiment, romantic ceremony, womb healing rites, and the cultivation of erotic presence.
IN THE APHRODITE
EXPERIENCE
This is also an initiation into the Aphrodite current:
the field of love, beauty, sensuality, and magnetic feminine essence. To be initiated by Aphrodite is to awaken a natural radiance and erotic intelligence that draws others closer — not through performance, but through embodied truth and pleasure.
This retreat is where your training becomes artistry, your knowledge becomes confidence, and your Priest/ess path becomes lived.

Sensuous beauty, sacred stillness & ancient magic at Holistica — the Celleno Convent in Lazio, Italy
Nestled in the volcanic hills of Celleno, Lazio, the Celleno Convent is a 17th-century monastery lovingly restored into a sanctuary for healing, creativity, and temple arts.
Surrounded by rolling countryside and only a short journey from the famous Viterbo Thermal Hot Springs, this sacred container offers the perfect blend of old-world mysticism and deep, nourishing rest. Only 25 minutes away are the Viterbo Hot Springs — natural thermal waters cherished since Etruscan and Roman times for their healing minerals and restorative warmth. These baths offer the perfect complement to our temple work, allowing your body to melt open even deeper.
A Sanctuary Steeped in History
Originally built in the 1600s, the Celleno Convent holds a lineage of prayer, devotion, and quiet contemplation.
Its stone corridors, arched windows, and ancient chambers create the feeling of entering another era — one where your soul can finally exhale.
The property includes:
• cloistered walkways and sun-drenched courtyards
• a private chapel dating back centuries
• terraced gardens overlooking olive groves and volcanic valleys
• hidden nooks for meditation, erotic embodiment, and intimate ritual
• expansive group spaces perfect for ceremony, movement, and creative practice
