Speaker Bio (it me!)

Priestess Francesca is taboo incarnate: an erotic energy healer, sex worker, professional Dominatrix, and trauma informed Sexologist. She’s walked the path that most resist, deny, or turn their gaze from. But she’s here to urge you to look, see and feel the tingling discomfort of your own desires, dark fantasies, and taboo urges – urges that are bound to transform you, your sex, and your life.

Priestess Francesca uses her 15+ years of education, entrainment, and experience in the realms of non-traditional sex, intimacy and relating to help seekers explore the dark unknown of personal sexual healing, be nourished by their true erotic medicine, and step fully into their authentic destiny. She is an Ordained Priestess, ancient sexual rites initiate, a clinical sexologist, and a certified dominatrix.

She will be speaking on three very spicy topics at the Toronto Tantra Festival this year:

Trauma, Kink, & Somatic Healing – our sexual energy is alchemical medicine. When we shed shame around our desires & fantasies and play them out safely, we can heal in profound and mysterious ways. This talk will explain new neurobiological research; teach sensibilities on how our turn-ons can show up in response to stored trauma; and increase your confidence to explore these often misunderstood terrains in safer ways.

The Arts of Separation: Uncoupling in Love – It’s often joked that divorce lawyers see good people at their worst. Regardless of circumstance, waves of change in partnerships are initiatory crossroads that call us into a deeper capacity for love – rather than blaming, shaming, or judging. This talk will give sacred context to the pain of separation and teach a four-pillar framework to “uncouple in love” – all so you can let the alchemical fire of change transform you with some semblance of sanity and grace.

And a TTF first...

Sacred Whore: The Forbidden Archetype – a panel discussion with Jovana Abroad and Yanshuf Kadesh on possibly the world’s most shunned (and enticing) archetype! The energy of the Sacred Whore is found in myths, stories, Jungian theory and popular culture and is tasted by many who are called to the work of sexual healing. Join us as we discuss this taboo, and how it can play a critical role at a time of global transformation.
