HOLY EROTICA
-
As a Christian, I was taught that holy meant “set apart.” In healing and embodiment work, holiness carries a deeper meaning: the integration of what has been divided—a movement toward wholeness.
Holy Erotica explores the reunion of the holy and the erotic, two realms religion and culture have long kept separate. By bringing spirit and sexuality back into relationship, this work addresses the roots of shame and supports its healing.
To live without shame is to live whole.
And a life lived in wholeness is, by its very nature, set apart.

HOLY EROTICA on the GOTB MIGHTY NETWORK
HolyErotica.org is a living archive of my first three Holy Erotica films—Just For One Day, Cosmic Touch, and Magdalene Remembered—shared publicly as artifacts of a formative creative period.
Co-created with close collaborators and friends, these projects changed my life and expanded my understanding of sexuality. I offer my reflections here, alongside selected voices from those who participated in the work.

I spent over twenty years producing and editing unscripted television, alongside seven years in evangelical youth ministry. What followed was a long undoing—five years publicly deconstructing faith through Touch Podcast and early YouTube, and seven years apprenticing embodiment practices, including kundalini, to reconcile sexuality and spirit. This platform emerges from that lived integration: media not as performance, but as revelation.

COMMUNITY |
AN ONLINE GATHERINGHoly Erotica artifacts are a deeper, more intimate, and profoundly respectful exploration of eroticism deserving their own dedicated COMMUNITY guided by core beliefs, principles, and agreements, enabling them to engage with others as a continuous practice to discern their authentic selves from the conditionings of cultural shame, religious shame, and trauma.
