Cohort Begins April 24, 2025 · Fridays at 9am PST / 12p EST
Not therapy: which can't go where you need to go.
Not tantra: which asks you to dissolve when you want to understand.
Not the kink scene: which can be more about identity performance than actual integration.
Not the wellness world's sanitized version of "sexual healing": which glosses over the dark, the complex, and the psychologically real.
A space that is trauma-informed and unsanitized. Psychologically rigorous and mystically alive. That understands kink and BDSM as archetypal technology — not as a scene to join, but as a language to read. That treats your fantasies, your power dynamics, your erotic edges not as problems to manage but as the actual curriculum.
REBORN is that space.
You operate at the intersection of depth and desire. You understand, already, that your capacity to embody your authentic erotic self is directly related to your power, your creativity, and the quality of your work in the world.
You've done enough inner work to know that this dimension — the erotic one — is the last frontier. The one you haven't been able to bring to your normie therapist. The one that holds the keys to everything else.
REBORN is built for exactly that.
By the end of this journey, you will:
I
Not just what you want — but what those wants are saying. The fantasies that felt confusing, dark, or too specific to share out loud become legible. Symbolic. Useful. The shame that made desire feel like a problem dissolves into curiosity and, eventually, authority.
II
You will learn how to stop overriding their body's signals and start reading them. Pleasure becomes accessible in a way it wasn't before. You will understand the somatic unconscious and the wisdom that lies within you.
III
Start the creative project you've been avoiding. Stop going quiet in rooms where you used to shrink. Your creative output becomes more prolific, less inhibited, less apologetic. You begin asking for — and receiving — more. Not just in the bedroom. In every room!
IV
You stop tolerating dynamics that were never actually working. You attract different kinds of connection — more honest, more mutual, more alive. The intimacy you've been reaching for starts to feel possible because they've finally stopped performing and started showing up.
V
The carefully managed, masked, presentable version of the self (the one built to be acceptable rather than real) begins to give way to something more true, more grounded, and more powerful. This is the core transformation. Everything else follows from here.
You are psychologically sophisticated. You've done therapy, shadow work, somatic practice, depth work of some kind. You take your inner life seriously and you have the language for it.
And yet — there's a dimension you haven't been able to fully bring into the room. Not because you haven't tried. But because the rooms that exist weren't built for it.
⤝ A creative, artist, or entrepreneur who has felt the direct line between your erotic aliveness and your creative output — and wants to understand and cultivate that connection deliberately.
⤝ Someone who has explored other sexuality spaces — and found them either too soft, too prescriptive, not trauma-informed enough, or simply not psychologically rigorous enough for where you actually are.
⤝ Someone who is, in some essential way, living outside the sexual mainstream — and is exhausted by spaces that require you to translate, simplify, or make yourself more palatable before you can enter.
⤝ A therapist, coach, somatic practitioner, or healer who knows that your own erotic psychology is intimately connected to how you hold power and presence with clients — and you've never had a framework for working that consciously.
⤝ A sex worker, dominatrix, kink practitioner, or someone in erotic-adjacent work who wants the psychological and archetypal scaffolding to understand what you're actually doing — and what it's doing to and for you.
⤝ A BDSM practitioner or kink-curious person who is not interested in the scene as identity — who sees dominance, submission, and power play as something far more interesting than lifestyle, and wants to work with it as the archetypal and psychological technology it actually is.
You already know your erotic self is not a side note to your path. It's the path.
If you read that and felt something — a recognition, a relief, a yes — you're in the right place.
"Your desires, fantasies & attraction patterns are symbolic, archetypal, and directional — a language your unconscious speaks fluently that most of us were never taught to read."
Carl Jung described individuation as the lifelong process of becoming who you actually are — integrating the disowned parts of yourself, the shadow, the unlived life, the exiled archetypes — into a coherent, sovereign whole.
Erotic individuation is that same process, centered in the body and the erotic psyche.Your fantasies are not distractions from your spiritual life. They are part of it.Your hunger is not something to manage. It is something to understand — and ultimately, to live from.
When you do this work, you don't just change your relationship to sex. You change your relationship to power. To creativity. To intimacy. To the authority with which you inhabit your own life.
That is what REBORN is designed to catalyze.
ALL SESSIONS ARE LIVE (RECORDING AVAILABLE)
WEEK 1 — PREWORK: EROTIC SHADOW 101 April 17
Before we cross the threshold into the REBORN experience we will go over the basics of Depth Psychology, The unconscious mind, archetypes and how this is tied to the erotic realm. (Open to all)
WEEK 2 — Dark Feminine Rising April 24
You may keep hearing about the "Dark Feminine Rising" but what does that really mean?
We begin here, connecting with the dark feminine as a living archetypal force — present in all of us regardless of gender — that carries our most primal erotic power that has been repressed in our society. We work with figures like Lilith, Hekate, Kali as living psychic presences to be consciously met and integrated. You will learn about erotic mediumship and connect with your deity that will be supporting you on this 12-week journey.
You'll leave this session with: The history of the split feminine and how that affects all gender identities, a deep understanding of how to work with the archetype of the Dark Goddess, your own personal deity for your 12-week journey.
WEEK 3 — The Body Knows May 1
Shadow lives in the body. You will learn about how the somatic unconscious and the psychic unconscious are mirrors. How shadow integration happens somatically. We will dive into the basics of polyvagal theory and how that connects with shadow work, erotic expression, shame & embodiment.
You'll leave this session with: somatic tools for reading the body's signals rather than overriding them, and a clearer map of where your conditioning lives in your nervous system.
WEEK 4 — Pleasure as a Spiritual Practice May 8
Our current culture conditions us to believe pleasure is a reward. Creative expression is frivolous. That you earn pleasure and joy after the work, after the output, after you've given enough.
That conditioning is costing you more than you know — in creative fuel, in relational presence, in the quality of your own aliveness.
This session reclaims pleasure & joy as a spiritual practice, a form of nervous system regulation, and a primary source of erotic and creative energy. We work with the sacral center to release the shame that has made pleasure feel dangerous or undeserved.
You'll leave this session with: a fundamentally different relationship to your own capacity for joy — and practical tools for making pleasure a genuine resource rather than a guilty afterthought.
WEEK 5 — Live Integration: Q&A + Reflection May 15
Three weeks of descent require space to land. This live session is for digestion, questions, and collective witnessing — the breath before we go deeper.
WEEK 6 — Power & Erotic Agency May 22
Power dynamics are woven into everything — your relationships, your creative work, your leadership, your sexuality. Most of us navigate them unconsciously, driven by old conditioning about whether we are allowed to take up space, hold authority, submit, command, or be fully seen.
This session uses the lens of BDSM, dominance and submission, and conscious power play as psychological technology — not just for understanding your erotic life, but for understanding your relationship to power itself. To control. To surrender. To what happens when you stop apologizing for the space you take up.
You'll leave this session with: a clear map of your own power dynamics — where you give it away, where you brace against receiving it, and what it would mean to hold it consciously — in every room you enter, not just the bedroom.
WEEK 7 — The Heart's Shadow May 29
What happens when desire meets attachment.
The erotic and the relational are inseparable. The heart has its own shadow — projection, idealization, hunger mistaken for love, intimacy confused with codependency. This session works at the exact intersection of desire and connection, teaching you to distinguish authentic intimacy from psychological entanglement. We go deep on understanding the various forms of love, which are based in safety, vs. shadow or ego attachment.
You'll leave this session with: tools for recognizing your own relational patterns — where you've been seeking connection through dynamics that couldn't actually give it to you — and a clearer sense of what genuine intimacy requires from you.
WEEK 8 — Live Integration: Q&A + Reflection June 5
The midpoint. The place where the work often gets most tender — and most real.
We surface, integrate, and prepare for the final arc together.
WEEK 9 — Erotic Voice June 12
Your desires mean nothing if you cannot speak them.
This session reclaims erotic voice — not only in sexual contexts, but as a full-life practice of self-expression. We work with the throat as the seat of erotic truth: the capacity to name what you want, set limits that arise from desire rather than fear, and communicate with the kind of specificity that creates genuine intimacy.
Magnetism is a byproduct of honesty & authenticity. This session teaches you how to inhabit that.
You'll leave this session with: the language and the embodied capacity to actually ask for what you want — in bed, in creative work, in relationships, in rooms where you've historically gone quiet.
WEEK 10 — Archetypal Sex Magic & Symbolic Eros June 19
Your erotic imagination is not random. It is symbolic, archetypal, and deeply intelligent — a language your unconscious speaks fluently. This session teaches you to read it.
We work with fantasy as inner language, using active imagination, archetypal invocation, and erotic ritual to consciously dialogue with the unconscious and shape your erotic identity from the inside out. This is where Jungian psychology meets mysticism meets embodied practice.
You'll leave this session with: the ability to decode your own fantasies — to understand what they're asking for, what they're compensating for, and what they're trying to bring into being in your actual life. This is the session that makes the rest of the work make sense.
(Optional spicy homework for those who want to take this into living practice.)
WEEK 11 — Live Integration: Q&A + Reflection June 26
We've gone deep. Now we begin to weave.
WEEK 12 — The Erotic Individuate July 3
You've descended. You've met what was waiting there. You've brought pieces of yourself home that you didn't know were missing.
Now comes integration — synthesizing everything you've uncovered into a coherent identity. Your personal erotic ethos. Your relationship to power and pleasure as conscious practice. Your unique expression of erotic sovereignty.
You'll leave this session with: a clear, embodied sense of who you are as an erotic being — not an idealized version, but the real one — and what it means to let that person lead.

"Reborn has been a good companion to my kink therapy. I am now in a place where I am completely aware of my sexuality with no shame or regret. I’m now integrating this erotic shadow work into my creativity."
"This work has been a blessing. I felt peace inside myself I haven't felt in a long time and found confidence and power both in my sex life and every day life. I'm beyond grateful to have discovered her work"
"I feel the most ME I have ever been. This was the missing link for me all along- I cannot say enough good things about this work, or about Jaclyn. She creates a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can safely express and release what’s got to go in a way that’s equal parts supportive and effective."
"Jaclyn breaks down shadow work in a way that combines Jungian Psychology with acceptance, in a way that left me feeling equal parts educated and empowered. The coursework asked thought provoking questions and contained exercises I had never experienced before, allowing me to tap into a totally new part of myself previously hidden in the psyche. I highly recommend this coursework for anyone who has an interest in getting to know themselves more intimately with the intention of healing."
"I have experienced many shadow-focused workshops, self-help courses, books, videos, etc., all of which were helpful in some way, but Jaclyn's program dealt with the core issue of sexuality and shadow directly in a way no other has. The content and exercises of this workshop opened up new areas and opportunities for healing, self-acceptance, and growth for me. I very much appreciate the warmth, positivity, and acceptance Jaclyn has for every person around this topic, regardless of where they are in their journey. With all the collective shame around sexuality (which is why it's stuck in our Shadows), this topic is rarely addressed, yet it is core to human existence and progress."
"I joined Reborn, expecting to be educated on the basics of sexual shadow work, and I was not disappointed. Though it was intense, I do feel like I stepped out of this program changed, and with greater understanding of myself, sex and intimacy. It's like a set of tools I can return to time and time again. Being completely new to sexual shadow, I feel it has laid the foundation to kickstart me on my journey."
Jaclyn Proper is a Jungian coach, erotic shadow educator, somatic practitioner, and certified death doula. Her work lives at the intersection of depth psychology, sexuality, archetypes, kink, trauma awareness, and spiritual maturation.
She spent years as a professional dominatrix — work that gave her an unusually intimate, ground-level understanding of the psychological dimensions of power, desire, and the erotic shadow long before she had formal training to name what she was witnessing. That experience, combined with rigorous study in Jungian psychology, somatic practice, and depth coaching, is the foundation of everything she teaches.
Jaclyn doesn't bring a sanitized or academic version of this work. She brings it from the inside — from having lived in this territory, mapped it from the ground up, and found her way to a kind of erotic sovereignty she now guides others toward.
She does not moralize desire. She does not manage the shadow politely. She meets you in the actual, complicated, symbolic, alive territory of your erotic life — and works with you there.
Her podcast, Shadow Work After Dark, explores these themes in public. REBORN is where the real depth work happens.
FAQ
Do I need prior experience with Jungian psychology or shadow work?
You don't need formal training, but this program is designed for people who are psychologically self-aware and have done meaningful inner work. If you're brand new to shadow work or in an early stage of healing, this may not be the right container right now — and that's okay.
Is this only for people who are kink-identified?
No. Kink and BDSM are explored as lenses for understanding power, desire, and the erotic psyche — not as prerequisites. You don't need to be kinky to do this work. You do need to be open to engaging with those frameworks without judgment.
I'm queer, neurodivergent, or have a complex relationship to my body. Is this for me?
Yes — explicitly. This work was built with queer, neurodivergent, and kink-identified people in mind. You will not be asked to translate yourself here.
How much time does this require each week?
Live sessions run approximately 75 minutes. Add time for practices, journaling, and integration — plan for 2 hours per week. Integration weeks are intentionally lighter.
I'm currently in therapy. Can I do this alongside that work?
Many participants are in therapy and find this work deeply complementary. That said, REBORN is not a trauma recovery program. If you are in active trauma processing, we encourage you to discuss with your provider whether this is the right time to add an intensive depth container.
What if I can't attend live every week?
Replays are available for 3 years. While the live experience is richest, the program is designed for real human lives.
Do I need to be in a relationship?
Absolutely not. This work is fundamentally about your relationship to yourself — your desire, your power, your erotic identity. Partnership is not required or assumed.
How do I know if I'm ready?
If you've read this far and felt a consistent pull — a recognition, a hunger, a yes that lives somewhere below your throat — that is the signal. Readiness is not the absence of fear. It is the presence of something that matters more.
There is a version of your life where your erotic soul is not something you manage, minimize, or keep carefully out of sight.
Where you understand your desires instead of being confused or ashamed by them. Where you stop going quiet in rooms that matter. Where your creative work stops apologizing for itself. Where the intimacy you've been reaching for becomes possible — because you finally stopped performing and started showing up.
Where you move through the world as someone guided by something real, and you know it.
That life is not reserved for people who are further along than you.
It is available now. In a container built specifically for this work. With a guide who has lived it from the inside. Alongside others who take it as seriously as you do.
REBORN. Begins April 24
Early bird pricing closes April 1. Group size is limited.
REBORN is designed for adults aged 25+ ready for depth-oriented initiatory work. This is not a trauma recovery program. If you are currently working with a mental health provider, we encourage you to discuss whether this program supports your overall wellbeing before enrolling.
