The Rose Temple: A Midsummer Nights Dream

Come immerse in the magick of South Devon, into this magickal adventure within A Midsummer Nights Dream… What will you discover within your play, your pleasure, your dreaming, your body…

Through feeling deeply connected to self, to our desires, feeling empowered in our sacred pleasure, our life force energy first then we can connect to others with deeper integrity and awareness of ourselves and what we want to move towards and move away from. 

Connection to others on the first day will be verbal, through childlike play and movement. Only in the evening on the first day do we open to sensual exploration, which deepens on the second day when we're connected as a group and  with much space to connect to each other as individuals.

EMBODIMENT. PLAY. EXPLORATION. 

By journeying with us for a whole weekend allows time to connect in a more natural process before  feeling into intimate connections. On the first day we gently drop into the space, connecting in pod sharings, connecting deeply to our own body and our own pleasure before opening into intimacy with others. From this space of feeling deeply connected to ourselves and emotionally connected to others we can make empowered choices for our bodies and pleasure with others.

Coming to a weekend Temple allows more space to let the outside world go, drop into receptivity, allowing yourself to be nourished, and enjoy in connecting with people in an open hearted space. We reach much greater depths within ourselves, our nervous system, our emotional processes, and in connections to others when we allow more time. If you desire to explore the world of open relating, connection, intimacy (emotional, physical, sexual), but would like more time to drop into the space, connect to others gently before feeling into more intimacy - then this weekend will enable you to do just that. 

​To learn the internal navigation of what we want and what we don't want, exercises are facilitated to tune into our bodies of where and what our yes's and No's feel like, and practicing voicing those to others in the space, bringing safety that our voice, our yes and our no will be heard, respected and celebrated, whilst also knowing everyone else has this common language in the space to be in practice with throughout the weekend. 

​You are welcome to come as a couple and stay in your own coupled container with the practices shared - please inform me before the event to be aware of accommodating this when pairing/grouping in the space. 

Practices are led in a way to encourage non-heteronormative pairing (some exercises are also in 3's or 4's) so people can mix for platonic or intimate connections as suits their gender and sexual orientation. This also creates opportunity for the rich learning in exercises from your brother or sister, not just seeking those you're attracted to. In every exercise there is a scale of intimacy that offers options from a non-physical contact (just in loving energetic presence), witnessing, to more physically connected options.  There is never an expectation or pressure to connect intimately, or connect in any way that doesn't feel good for you during this weekend.

This is a trauma informed space, trained by The Field Facilitator trauma informed training. Facilitators and spaceholders assisting are available to support your needs during exercises and free space. We encourage self-responsibility to take care of yourself which is part of the learning of the space - that includes seeking support when support or sitting out of exercises when needed.
