An experiential space to explore+express your human-ness, dive deep into connection with your self+others and savour intimacy (without getting naked!)
A temple is basically a sober+sensual+vulnerable setting with humans to go deep at your own level of intensity+involvement. It invites embodied rituals for you to find your authenticity and courage. A temple can bring you closer to your inner world (things like relational patterns, somatic-er0tics, belief systems, emotional states, and so much more).
You get to experience yourself through meeting the other. The intention is to unbecome everything you are not and allow the intimacy to evolve you. A temple is for the brave who want to meet their edges and say yes to more messy pleasure and practice their fuckno’s too.
It can be an experience of self development and also just a space to have a delicious time and fill your cup through community care. This temple is specifically designed for beginners, people on the fresh paths of (er0tic) self-development and experienced templers who want to meet themselves with a beginners mindset again.
While a temple is generally quite a woo-woo thing, because yes magic happens there, this is not your new age hippie tantric temple.´
A temple can be a place for you to
-practice your body awareness.
-meet your depth.
-express and be seen in your messy human-ness.
-expand your relational and sensual patterns.
-practice your agency in terms of needs+boundaries.
-enjoy the magic of human connection+intimacy without any agendas attached to it.
A temple follows a certain structure. We open together as a group with the introduction of everyone and set the collective agreements for the evening. You are then offered guided practices and rituals that support you to drop into your emotional and physical depths, such as consent, connection and touch exercises. After this we move into an open space in which you can explore what is alive for you within the agreements, which can look like dancing, cuddling, trying out fun things from the Altar of Pleasure, playfighting, making out (and so much more). At the end, we make space for integration and close the temple together with a little sharing circle.
What a temple is not
-a sxx party, a place to hook up or find quick+fast dating culture
-a place for any kind of gen1tal stimulation or stronger sxxual connection including full nudity
It is open for all genders, sxxualities, ages, roots and we welcome people with all relationship forms. If you are in a couple, then there must be an opening for you to work with other members of the group at your choice of involvement (e.g. eyegazing, physical touch, etc.). We encourage you to have an honest check in about needs+boundaries in your relationship if you decide to join while being partnered.
This is a non-heteronormative space. We don’t match anyone according to their gender identity. You have to be open to meet your own gender as a human at your choice of involvement.
If you live a disability of some form, please eMail us to see how we can accommodate the space to your needs.
Intimate doesn’t mean sxxual
A temple is an invitation to step outside the box of what you know. Unfold curiosity, playfulness, creativity. A temple is a chance to explore the many ways to experience pleasure. Embrace the awkwardness that intimacy -oh- so often naturally brings.
For many of us it is a healing experience to be intimate without any goals+agendas attached to it. It creates a sort of freedom that isn’t often felt in our culture.
We strongly encourage you to bring all of your human-ness. Temples put a focus on expression which includes er0s and er0ticsim. You don’t have to be sxxy but you can if that feels authentically alive for you. You are handed the permission slip for your shameless expression, whatever that may look like for you (for some of us this looks like screaming into the void and telling everyone to fuck off).
Let the unknown turn you on.
