This introductory session gently welcomes participants into the journey of sexual-spiritual integration. Kerlin emphasizes that participants are not broken but already whole and holy. The module addresses how purity culture and religious shame have separated our bodies and spirits, and it sets the tone for a slow, compassionate unfolding. Participants are encouraged to care for themselves, seek support if needed, and honor the vulnerability of engaging with topics like desire, embodiment, and faith. The space is intentionally tender, offering both healing and challenge, and grounding everything in the belief that each person is beloved and worthy.
This module explores how many of us inherited a split between our spirituality and our sexuality. Drawing from personal experience and broader cultural patterns, it examines the damaging consequences of purity culture, body shame, and distorted teachings around desire. Kerlin invites participants to name where this split shows up in their own lives and relationships. Through gentle questioning and reflection, the session calls forth a more integrated understanding of self—where pleasure and presence, body and spirit, can coexist. Participants begin to reclaim what has been exiled or hidden, laying the foundation for a more embodied, soulful faith.
In this session, participants are guided to consider the body as a site of memory, wisdom, and revelation. Kerlin discusses how trauma, religious doctrine, and cultural messages often train us to disconnect from our bodies. Yet our physical selves hold both pain and the potential for profound healing. Through stories, grounding practices, and compassionate inquiry, participants are invited to listen to their bodies anew. The goal is not control or perfection, but presence. This module affirms that our bodies are sacred, trustworthy, and capable of guiding us back into fuller connection with ourselves and with the divine.
This module dives deep into the relationship between desire and the sacred. Kerlin challenges the notion that desire is dangerous or inherently sinful, instead offering a framework where longing is seen as holy—an expression of life, love, and God’s image within us. Participants are invited to reflect on their own desires—not just sexual, but spiritual, emotional, and creative—and to consider where shame has distorted them. This is a reclamation: of eros, of agency, and of divine intimacy. The module encourages curiosity, consent, and courage as tools for rediscovering how desire can guide us toward truth and transformation.
The final module brings the journey full circle, focusing on integration and embodiment. Participants are invited to gather the insights, emotions, and memories of the previous sessions and begin weaving them into their daily lives. Kerlin offers tools and blessings for sustaining this integration, emphasizing that it’s not a one-time event but a lifelong path. This module is a celebration of wholeness: a witness to the holiness of lived experience, relational truth, and sacred pleasure. Participants are reminded that integration is ongoing and personal—and that they carry within them the wisdom, grace, and freedom to continue this work.
