In this powerful and soul-stirring conversation, I sit down with Adriana Rizzolo‬, a somatic healer, oracle, artist, adult sex educator, and Trance Dance Guide, to explore the raw, mystical, and transformative journey of healing, embodiment, and spiritual awakening.

Adriana is the founder of Body Temple Church and the creator of Body Temple Dance, a ritual trance space where grief, rage, and ecstasy are transmuted into aliveness through prayer, performance, and intuitive movement.

With vulnerability and fire, she shares her lived experience of walking the path of mysticism, from the streets of New Jersey to the sacred lands of the South of France, reclaiming the body as a temple and the earth as a guide.

We dive into themes of birth and rebirth, the dark night of the soul, and the integration of trauma as a sacred passage. Adriana speaks to the ecstatic, the erotic, and the shadow, illuminating the creative force that emerges when we embrace both pain and joy.

 We talk about ancestral healing, the journey of sexual awakening, and the importance of surrendering to the unknown as a portal into deeper presence and truth.

This episode holds medicine for mystics, seekers, and anyone who has moved through great transformation and is learning how to live from that place.

So make a cup of tea, find a quiet space, and join us in this potent conversation. It’s tender, wild, and full of deep remembering.
