Eros As Medicine - Temple

Eros as Medicine - Temple Time

Welcome to Temple

Erotic energy is the great amplifier, it turns up the volume on life, on whatever lives beneath the surface: from unacknowledged wild desire to the insecurities, jealousy and old stories of unworthiness. Eros brings it up to be seen, felt, and met fully by yourself and others.

This temple is an inquiry into the authentic meeting point between us: that real edge where people actually feel touched, whether that's across a room in eye contact, or in the full heat of passion. Intimacy isn't about how physically close we get: it's in how true we're willing to be about where we actually are.

In the first half of the day, you will be invited to explore opening to intimacy through practices such as devotional circular puja ritual, where the intention of each encounter is finding the authentic meeting point between you and this other person. That could be sitting and eye gazing, or it could be deep Eros. We will be exploring how we can try to break the idea that connection needs to look like any particular thing, or needs to be with any particular person.

The second half of the day will be an offering of ritual Temple free play, to explore that which you began to open in the Puja.

This Temple is only open to those who have been to two or more temples, or other such spaces. If you are not sure if it is for you, please contact Joy or Shanti and we can work it out together.

About temple spaces

Temples are sacred spaces, where consenting adults can experience, body, mind and soul connections. Held in a space of beauty, acceptance and safety, we enter into practice of devotion, to love, pleasure and sacred sensuality. Temple space can be very magical, healing, playful and full of mystery. It is a place to meet yourself and others, as friends and play mates, old and new. It can feel scary to enter such an unknown space, so we have created a day which can give you a better understanding of how to enter and navigate in a safe pleasurable way. Please come as you are, everybody is welcome in Temple.

We invite you to come, just as you are and feel. We know that being in these environments can bring up a lot of emotions. This is a safe space to welcome them and work with them in an embodied, held and ritual temple space. The evening will be held throughout.

All genders are welcome, as are singles, friends, and couples (of all combinations). 

FOR COUPLES: Please make your agreements together before you arrive. If you want to come along with your partner, and play with them exclusively, that’s completely fine.

Temple is a sober space.
