womb temple
an immersion into the feminine ways
As women, many of us have grown to devalue and even despise our feminine qualities.
But you are here because your inner drum is beating to the ancient rhythm of the lost feminine knowledge. You are ready to leave behind patterns of unworthiness and self-sabotage, especially common for women in this patriarchal era.
You long to feel completely comfortable in your body.
You also desire to be fully enamored with your erotic self, and in fluid dialogue and harmony with your unique inner rhythms. You know you will truly blossom when you can recognise these gifts within you.
Although you are somewhat there, you feel still one more layer to go and you know it requires diving deeper into the vast primordial ocean within you.
This transformational journey requires to retrieve parts of you that have been hidden because of shame, fear, judgement and emotional wounding.
Life is asking you in this moment to take full responsibility in initiating this healing journey by descending into your Womb Temple. For some of you, partaking on the path of womb wisdom, is largely to prepare yourself to conceive new life, for others it is an urgent need to reclaim the full range of your womb powers and harness your sexual, creative energies to birth your visions; and for others this will lead you into your next spiritual rebirth.
All in all, the Womb Temple Immersion is submerging into the underworld to meet your wild, creative, sensual, wise, playful self and emerge renewed into the new earth.

“I am so grateful that my path led me to you Maite! You truly are a woman in your power teaching your passion and able to convey it on so many levels. I feel that you created such a space of love for us to show up fully and truthfully and showed us this kind of fierce mama love for every one of us showing up in her sovereignty, creating a really beautiful circle :) To ensure that kind of safety for intimacy is such a skill, especially online and with so many timezones! I really think the magic of the circle was created first and foremost by your incredibly welcoming and accepting energy and I find it quite unusual and very healing - that we could show up with anything and it would be fine.” - Liz from Scotland
"I hope you have the courage to dive into the depths of unravelling your path to truly find at your center who you are and what you are made to be. This course taught me about my strength and reaffirmed this dormant energy that has always known my capabilities but never fully has had the chance to express or share it to be discovered and seen in a sacred space. I guaranteed you will learn something beautiful about yourself, your body and your purpose. The community created within the time we all devoted to ourselves and these practices through this course, goes to show how much we can explore and learn about ourselves while deepening our connection to our wombspace and awakening to our highest selfs with the reflections of all of us on our own journeys. I can truly say I have grown and transmuted some of my insecurities and old patterns thanks to these beautiful meditations and practices." - Alina from Chicago
“As a facilitator, Maite is gifted at holding space. I feel that she really made an effort to make every person feel seen, held and supported in a way that's quite rare. She was really generous in sharing her own experiences too, and taught in a way that felt like sharing rather than didactic passing on of information!” - Déirdre from Ireland
“(Major takeaways from Womb Temple) That my potential is even greater than I thought, that I have to trust my intuition more, and that the chain of pain / trauma that I inherited from my family, I am little by little destroying and expelling it, creating space for other positive experiences. Together with the months of gestalt therapy that I have just done, Womb Temple has allowed me to get out of a very hard transition stage, it has restored serenity and confidence, (and as far as fertility is concerned, I’ve gained patience and confidence)” - Anonymous from Spain
welcome beloved sister
This is a 9 week online journey to awaken to your bodies ancient intelligence and particularly the profound wisdom of your womb by understanding more its anatomy, functions and attributes and her wise allies: the sexual hormones. Nothing will be shared that is not already within you, in your bones, flesh and DNA, yet it has been dormant and repressed. This is a pilgrimage of remembrance, embodiment and reclamation.
We are living in very special times, where womb wisdom is being remembered and awakened. As you claim this inner knowing you will gain more alignment with your true essence. This is required of you, especially now, beloved!
In these times of great shift, of Release and Renewal, old systems of oppression are being dismantled. The Great Cosmic Womb is offering us, on both personal and collective levels, magnificent opportunities to take quantum evolutionary leaps. In the same way, we bleed every month and gain possibilities to let go of the old, so is the Great Mother. She is undergoing a great cosmic menstrual cycle. These are times of great visionary potentiality, and my invitation is that together we envision a New Earth, with new paradigms and new ways of relating to ourselves and each other.
The feminine way is not about pushing all the time in order to accomplish, but rather knowing when to sink into sweet surrender and connect to the art of humble listening, acceptance and flow. When you are in synch with this approach to life, you can then fully apply the principles of womb wisdom. You will explore how this relationship is not just a symbolic analogy, neither a figurative relationship but a direct one, between your Inner Womb, the Womb of Gaia and the Great Cosmic Womb. As a woman you cannot continue living Life without recognizing this inherent connection to the creative powers of your female womb, and the womb of Creation. When you join us, expect to deepen your trust in your innate feminine ways to truly birth your visions.
Are you ready to prepare your body, mind and spirit for conception; to conceive from a sovereign, empowered and pleasurable place, and at the same time deepen your trust in divine timing?
One of the biggest contributions you can make, especially if you plan to bare children is to remember your wholeness and welcome further healing of any wounding before conceiving. We can do great shifts in only one generation! I believe deeply we can end cycles of poverty, inequality and trauma by consciously rewiring and rewriting the many narratives that keep us small and disempowered, numbed and disconnected from ourSelves. And what a great gift to humanity to embark on this healing journey as a precursor to conception. Or again, anything you are ready to Birth in these auspicious times
Womb Temple is an Immersion that offers you ways in which to create favorable conditions to prepare your vessel for when it’s time to call in the next generation of souls to arrive. This requires taking responsibility now for how to walk each transition and rite of passage in our Womanhood with greater awareness and love.
You will explore all the above through a variety of tools such as journalling, fasting and nutritional information, shamanic meditative journeys, live talks and shares, rituals and seating in circle with women of all ages and walks of life.

breakdown of the journey
week 1 - descend
We descend into the underworld, deep into our womb stories and journey through our life’s initiations. We become familiar again with our feminine anatomy, unravelling not just our sexual organs’ physical qualities but also their energetic and spiritual attributes. We explore practices to come home, and ways to connect with and honour our ancestral lineage.
week 2 - remember
We remember and explore our blood as a direct manifestation of our sexuality and become empowered to read its messages every month. A renewed relationship may emerge through ceremony, ritual, and artwork.
week 3 - reclaim
We explore the cyclical rhythms of life and our inner womb tempo. Through the lens of a variety of maps will uncover: hormone patterns, archetypes and universal energies; to then define our very own rhythm through personal observation and exploration. In a non-cyclical modern world reclamation becomes paramount, especially to reclaim the wisdom of our allies, our hormones.
week 4 - embody
We prepare our bodies from a place of infinite love and acceptance, by returning to ancient ways of self-care and self-pleasure. We practice ways to embody womb wellness, ignite our feminine alchemy and potentially, embrace our sacred sexuality more fully.
week 5 - integration week
We give ourselves this week, to pause, to savour the lessons so far, to give space and time for the unravelling that has taken place until now.
week 6 - envision
Ready to begin the journey of conscious conception, we envision what are we desiring to call from spirit into form, and uncover insights of the journey from cosmos to incarnation through ancient practices of conscious conception. Prayer, devotion and rendition become also our practices.
week 7 - emerge
We dance the spiral of life and emerge renewed by reclaiming our ability to re birth ourselves and our dreams over and over again. For this we need to dive into the physiology of gestation, birth and immediate postpartum.
week 8 - REST
We acknowledge the physiological demands of the body to rest and especially the importance of “lying in” after birthing Life, and for that matter any other ventures. These are precious times for celebration of the life-altering rite of passage, admire and nurture Creation. We bring modern science and earth based wisdom to the art of breastfeeding, ways to ground early bonding and attachment, as well as possibilities of great repair for the womb, and lifelong health during the postpartum period.
week 9 - nourish
We end with a dive into uncovering the equal power there is when we stop bleeding and reach the Wisepause (Post-Menopause). An exploration into the many ways we can nourish the Inner Crone, in the present and in preparation for the years to come.

Meet your Guide: Maite
I feel so honoured that you are here and feel the call to reclaim our lost womb wisdom. This is a journey that I have curated in service to you, and in honour of all humans in female bodies.
I have to thank my daughter Amara, because it was the journey of conscious conception that took me to piece together the fragmented parts I had left behind. It was through diving into the womb to reconcile the pregnancy losses and the desire to conceive that enabled me to remember this lost feminine knowledge.
I can only but give back by sharing what I learnt along the way.
The Womb Temple Immersion, is the initiation I wish I had had in my 20s, and did not receive from formal education, nor family and elders neither from peers at the time.
For 15 years, I worked as an anthropologist in international development and travelled the world (from Thailand, to Afghanistan, Venezuela and Panama to name a few) in the defense of women’s and children’s rights. However, it was not until a very strong call from Mother Earth that I gave up a somewhat “conventional” life, deciding to live closer to the Ocean and dive deeper within myself. My personal mission stayed very much the same, but expressed in a new way. I trained as yoga teacher in the Tantra tradition, became a Holistic Doula and have dedicated the last 5 years to all womb-related offerings. Today, I consider myself in deep reverence and service to the Goddess.
Thank you for being here, and for trusting to join me on this pilgrimage deep into the Womb of Life. I cannot wait to journey together.
With love and adoration,
Maite
frequently asked questions
CAN I PARTICIPATE IF I DON'T HAVE A PHYSICAL WOMB?
YES YOU CAN! It's true that for many women nowadays, due to a variety of circumstances their womb-uterus, ovaries, uterine tubes, breasts and other organs (or fragments of them) are removed in response to their bodies’ pains. Regardless of what female sexual organ you had removed you are very welcomed to join us. In fact, you are probably listening, feeling, sensing the need to be with us all, even if at times there is a sense of emptiness. I want to remind you that the energetics of these organs are still within you and my desire is that through this journey you will find ways to reconnect with them. This will be a journey of profound love and deep compassion, and even hopefully prevention for other women, so that they do not have to experience the exodus of parts of themselves.
I DO NOT FEEL CONNECTION AND THE SACREDNESS YOU ARE DESCRIBING, IS THIS IMMERSION WORTH MY TIME AND MONEY?
Absolutely love, this is especially more paramount for you. You are not alone in this feeling. To me, the level of disconnection women are experiencing with their bodies, and especially their sexual organs, it is a general "pandemic". Women have been increasingly more disconnected from their profound and loving power as a result of over five thousand years of Patriarchy. Transformation is possible as we become more in synch to the power of creation within. This Immersion will be an experiential journey where we will transform our relations and the world around us, because as we change, the women and men in our lives do so as well. Yes!!! and it begins and ends with you by taking the reins of your life TODAY! The Womb Temple Immersion is a journey where we return to our bodies to restore the sacredness and divine love that inhabits us.
WILL THIS EXPERIENCE HELP ME CURE MY WOMB IMBALANCES?
Let me highlight that we will not be diving, neither offer specific guidance nor prescriptions for treating PCOs (polycystic ovaries), endometriosis, fibroids, amenorrhea (absence of menstruation), etc.. However, that said, I believe there is currently a lot of pain, violence and abuse carried within the memory of the feminine body and there will always be hope in enabling healing. This journey can support you in opening up a loving and compassionate dialogue with your body, seek solutions and discern as to the best healing journey that will suit you in this moment in your life.
ALL THE ABOVE RESONATES, BUT SOMETHING IN ME FEELS A RESISTANCE TO DIVE DEEP?
I hear you. I have been there. Yet, all I can say is that it is up to you to own full responsibility for the journey. The combination of the meditations, the shamanic practices, the sacred women circles, and the personal rituals will lead you to potentially have transcendental experiences. If there is some resistance within you it is likely that you know that old memories, even buried ones from this and past lives, may emerge. Remember, there is great medicine in this, even though it can be destabilising at times. I trust fully in your inner resources to guide you. And although you may not be fully be there to recognise or remember how to access them, this could be the beginning. It's for you to know and trust how deep to go. This journey will not and cannot replace therapy or any other medical practice, and yet connecting to a web of women, with similar intentions and open heart-wombs, is incredibly supportive and can be the anchor you need to start.
WILL I CONCEIVE IF I JOIN?
As we journey I will be sharing many of the practices that I integrated in my own journey of conceiving our daughter. I truly believe I had to fall in love with many aspects of myself that I had denied and for a long time kept silenced. Growing up and embracing fully all my femininity was not easy. and at times very uncomfortable. I had to truly meet myself within my Womb temple and descend deep. I believe in my bones that it opened my vessel to gestate and birth her in a very loving and harmonious way. Of course, I cannot guarantee you will get pregnant, but my sense is that if it’s in your Highest to become a Mother in this life, this will certainly support your journey and that of your children.
