Welcome to the Temple of Men's Intimacy, a space for men to be in intimacy with men.
We welcome sensual, sexual and platonic exploration.We welcome men of all sexual orientations to meet in curiousity and enquiry,
to bring bonding and insight into our connection with other men. We will create a supportive space, where our boundaries will be acknowledged and honoured, moving into intimate enquiry together. We will bring the practices of sharing circles, movement, massage and temple, to meet ourselves and others more deeply. Each offering is an invitation.
The first half of the day will be offered through embodied connection, meditations and practices:-
What is in our social conditioning and what is in our personal nature?
How do we feel in intimate spaces with other men?
What are our wounds around connection with men?
How is it to be heard and seen by other men?
How is it to be held and touched by other men?
How is it to meet yourself in consent and choice with other men to a depth of enquiry that feels comfortable for you?
In the second half we enter into a free flowing temple, held within ritual space.
This is a playful and potent place to explore. To relax and trust being with, and around other men, allowing us to connect and explore in intimacy - be it platonic, sensual or sexual. Discovering what space we can create together through in deeper trust, care and connection, rather than competition.
We invite you to bring clothes you love to dress and be witnessed in.

Conor:
Conor is a student of Temple culture, and a close ally of Shanti and Hugs in our shared mission to strengthen and deepen our community. Creating this temple has been a dream of his for over a year, after he experienced a powerful process of healing in his connection to other men whilst on a sacred sexuality retreat. Conor holds space with deep reverence and radical irreverence, believing that we have to laugh at our attachments to find the reality of our experience.
