The Rose Temple: A Midsummer Nights Dream

For a Heart fulfilling, Body nourishing, Soul connecting weekend… This is SO much more than a Temple Weekend… 

Come immerse yourself in the wild beauty of South Devon, we embark on a magickal adventure together within A Midsummer Nights Dream… this is an invitation to explore the mystery and wonder within yourself, within relating, and within eros.

At The Rose Temple, we weave a culture of care, gentleness, and deep attunement to support your growth at a steady pace. 
We encourage learning to listen deeper to all that your body tells, feels, holds. Through embodiment practices and somatic tracking as the foundation, we explore how to meet our nervous system responses with authentic movement and expression. Return home to your body, to your truth, and to the transformative power of being fully anchored in yourself.

This intimate weekend invites you to reconnect your eros in an authentic awakening of your vitality—not merely as our sexuality, but as an embodied expression of life, a grounding force, driving our power.

As we enter into the Temple Space, we arrive with a shared sense of:

-Deeper understanding of our nervous system, emotions, and inner landscapes

-Profound reverence for our body, truth, and worth

-An awakened erotic energy that flows from authenticity and heart

-A grounded, connected group field from which true intimacy can emerge

The gift of journeying together for a whole deep dive weekend is we get to feel one another, hear eachother, understand eachother in complete immersion deepening throughout the weekend.

Our needs are beautiful, natural, important part of us and we welcome for those to come into the forefront - for those needs to be seen, to be heard, to be understood, to be welcomed, to be met. 
When you bring your FULL self, you invite others to do the same. Your vulnerability becomes a doorway into deep connection.

Together, we journey into living and breathing this mantra 
I know myself. 
I trust myself. 
I respect myself.

This is  a attuned space that is responding to the groups needs moment to moment, which results in a much deeper level of safety for each individual and the collective. 

The foundation of our container is nervous system resourcing and co-regulation. This allows each individual to slowly and safely set down the masks worn in daily life and drop into a deeper, more authentic way of being and relating. In this field of care, we titrate our way into connection—allowing play and intimacy to arise naturally, from a place of deep self-connection. 

Throughout the weekend, we’ll discover in ourselves:

• What awakens in your body when you feel safe, centered, seen, and sovereign?
• What is born in the space of pleasure, truth and nervous system awareness?
• What becomes possible when you meet yourself with love in your eros?
• What is the quality of connection when moving from our centre?

“Beautifully and safely created, a space was built that allowed emotions to be expressed, and joy to unfold as we journeyed together. I cannot speak highly enough of the way Anya and her team craft an event of such profound depth. I could be me, showing vulnerability and self in a way that I knew would be cherished and held.”

By anchoring deeper into your body and honoring your own life force first, we open the door to connection that is conscious, free, and aligned with your truth.

If you're interested in this weekend but can't make it, there is another temple weekend (but with different theme) in The Gables, Glastonbury 6-7th September https://dandelion.events/e/x3dte

​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 aware space, trained by Eshana Spiers and deepening training with 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 - empowering you to support yourself to integrate self-holding when out of the space.

Why come to the Rose Temple?

• To learn how to connect from a rooted place within yourself
• To receive more physical contact, more love, more connection into your life in a way that feels nourishing, safe, held, and with open communication

• Feeling how beautifully  pleasurable giving touch is when given with full presence
• Journey deeper in connection with your existing lover/partner
• Observing what arises for you in this space, in witnessing or participating, and to feel the emotions that arise whilst held

Anya has been holding Temples in South Wales and Devon and in festivals across the UK for over a year. She has been holding workshops & retreats for 5 years, in Yoga, Breathwork, Sound Healing, Women's work and more. She is passionate about bringing people in circle to connect in deep authentic relation, creating community, and safe containers to drop all the masks and feel able to freely express ourselves. Creating a space that feels deeply safe for our entire being is integral to all the offerings she holds, believing only from this deep rooted safety can we blossom and open to pleasure, expression, connection. She is continually taking her work deeper and currently training in The Field with Rachel Rickards and Catherine Hale.
