🌑 Happening Oct 22-23 → Free Samhain-Season Masterclass on Shadow & Pleasure
The Underworld Guide to Pleasure
A 2-Day Masterclass Series, Hosted by the Dark Moon Priestess, to Discover Why Pleasure is Essential for Shadow Work
October 22-23, 2025 • 2pm Pacific (includes replays)
In shadow seasons like autumn, we descend into our personal underworld… but walking through the dark can be hard without something to build us up. Enter pleasure.
If you’ve been navigating a season of shadow - grief, rage, numbness, illness, heartbreak, change - this free class series is here to help you weave pleasure into your shadow work to build your resilience and buoy you through the challenges.
You want to trust your intuition AND your body, even when life feels hard.
You’re ready to delve into shadow work - but you don’t want to go it alone.
And you know, (or want to believe), that you’re worthy of pleasure in every season - dark and light and everything in between.
You know you’re here to face the darkness…
but also that you’re worthy of overflowing pleasure.
You want to embrace the contradictions within you and be that witch who:
Asks for what you want in bed without the words getting stuck in your throat
Does the deep inner work through therapy and witchcraft and decides that your flaws and wounds are beautiful too
Explores what feels taboo with curiosity, giggles, and an open heart, rather than self-judgement
(What’s taboo to you… getting tied up? making a big investment? wearing that outfit?)
Moves through grief and big changes, knowing that there is still space for joy, pleasure, and orgasms even when things feel really hard and scary - it’s not self-indulgent or frivolous
Flows with the moon phases and the cycles of life, knowing that good times and bad will always pass by, but you can stand in your power through them all
Step into Persephone’s Realm and claim that version of you.
Meet Your Dark Moon Priestess…
Hi, I’m Tenae Stewart, your guide, mentor, and priestess on this shadow journey. I’m a witch and an astrologer and I help you weave together pleasure and shadow for your wild, magickal life.
I’ve walked through my own personal underworld many times.
🔥 I lost my home in a wildfire.
💔 I got my heart broken by the person I thought I’d be with forever.
✨ And I discovered my bisexual, polyamorous self on the other side of that heartbreak.
I’m not only stronger for those experiences… I’m softer too.
It was when I reconnected with joy, with spirit, with pleasure, and with my body, (yes, through sex), that I emerged from those underworld journeys of grief and loss.
The moon phases, astrology, and ritual helped me discover my devotion to self.
I’ve taught on how to use these tools in your life for nearly ten years… and recently, my work has taken a turn even deeper, weaving sacred pleasure, sensuality, and sexuality into the shadow work I’ve been doing forever.
In this free masterclass series, I will be sharing the methods that have carried me through so many shadow seasons - and that can support you in times of grief, big change, and beyond.
Discover how the myth of Persephone mirrors your own cycles of death, rebirth, and becoming your true self
Learn why pleasure is an essential part of shadow work - and how it keeps you from getting consumed by the dark
Begin to explore the taboo desires you’ve been taught to repress and reclaim them as sacred
Receive a live group card reading, shadow work prompts, and a pleasure practice to integrate what you learn
In this free experience, you will:
-
Class #1: The Myth of Persephone
We will start by talking about the myth of Persephone, which reflects the ways we descend into our personal underworlds… and how pleasure can help us return.
Discover a pleasure-based approach to shadow work as an alternative to the heavy versions you may have experienced before.
Learn about natural shadow seasons using the moon phases, astrology, and more that you can work with and that may reflect experiences you’ve had recently.
-
Class #2: Weaving Pleasure + Shadow
Learn why pleasure is an essential ingredient you’ve probably been missing while navigating times of shadow.
We will do some shadow work prompts together live on the call, as well as sensual and sexy pleasure practices to help you integrate what comes up for you.
I’ll pull some oracle cards for us too!
At the end of the class, I will share an invitation to join me in my new membership, The Dark Moon Mysteries, to continue doing this work together throughout the upcoming lunar cycles.
