The Dark Feminine

The Dark Feminine
An Exploration into Shadow, Intimacy & Inner Truth. With @maja.holzinger

Our relationships often break down not because we love too deeply, but because we’ve never been taught how to stay present with intensity, grief, desire, or fear without abandoning ourselves.

The Dark Feminine is the part of us that knows how to remain connected in the midst of emotional depth.She is the part that does not perform, chase, or collapse, but listens, holds, and tells the truth.

Inspired by the ancient myth of Inanna’s descent and the psychological-archetypal work of Sylvia Perera (Descent to the Goddess), this workshop explores how descent into one’s inner darkness restores self-trust, relational clarity, and embodied authority.
So that we can be with intensity, hold big emotions and set boundaries when needed.

In a culture that prioritizes light, positivity, and “moving on,” we rarely learn how to:

• stay open without self-betrayal
• be intimate without losing ourselves
• meet another without bypassing our own shadow
  This workshop offers a safe and grounded container to explore how connection deepens when we stop running from our inner darkness, and begin relating with one another from the place of inner truth.

Facilitated by Maja Holzinger, tantra-inspired, trauma-informed embodiment guide and ritual facilitator working at the intersection of intimacy, archetypal psychology, and sacred sensuality
