Guru Orpheus Black

Orpheus Black is a public speaker, educator, thought leader, and sensual spiritualist who applies ancient wisdom to offer modern day solutions.

He has cultivated a unique practice of rituals and spirituality to enhance intimate relationships and alternative lifestyles. He integrates Afro-Buddhism, psycho-sensuality, and the philosophies of martial arts. He is a “coach’s coach”, guiding others in deep explorations of self and shadow, kink, and dominance and submission.

He is the author of The Enso: A Philosophy of Submission, an esoteric approach to awaken the repressed human animal within by utilizing rituals, psychology, and practical applications. 

In 2020, Orpheus was awarded his Guru-ship in the Filipino art of Valencio Lameco, a testament to his life-long journey of spiritual growth.

Orpheus is a sensual evolutionary who is at the forefront of the healthy masculine movement. Orpheus speaks against societal norms of shame and repression, and instead offers insights and tools to dig deep into ourselves, speak to who we truly are, and manifest the life and relationships we truly wish to embrace.

 Guru Orpheus Black uses parables drawn from his decades as a Buddhist and practitioner of D/s dynamics and kink to illustrate the properties of submission, both for intimate relationships and as an avenue for self-discovery.

His book, The Enso, is a philosophical and spiritual encounter with the intangible aspects of the path of submission. This unique esoteric approach provides rituals, psychology, and practical applications, offering the opportunity for a person to actualize not only who they are as transcendent beings but also to be able to awaken the human animal that society has helped to repress.
