Welcome to our Imbolc Temple,
the journey through the dark of winter has been long percolating and the first stirrings of spring are still an imagined whisper. It can be hard to see the light at the tunnel in this time, and yet spring always comes, in the end.
So in the long cold dark, what have you found in your inwards journey?
What do you fear, yet wish could be brought to light and seen and accepted by your tribe and yourself?
We welcome Bridgid, the maiden of spring, and this first fire festival, to guide us back into the the light. Stirring our spring Eros, let us meet it as Medicine, in Temple. This will be an introductory exploration into how we approach Eros as a Powerful shamanic medicine that can transform your life.
“In the presence of Love, all that is unloved comes up to be met: by Love”
One mistake people make in Temple is that they come expecting to simply have a nice time, and then they get very confused when their deepest core wounds are triggered, and they don’t know how to deal with it. Temple is not simply a play party. In Temple we are calling on spirit to guide us into our highest potential and fullness, fully embodied in this vessel of flesh. Spirit is wise, and knows that the road to your fullness often leads through the dark - through the parts of yourself you are afraid to face. Just like every year has a winter and a spring.
The first half of the day will be an invitation to open our bodies, meeting ourselves and each other through the embodied container of ritual, tantric meditative practices, and temple traditions.
This will be followed by a bring and share dinner feast to celebrate in eating together.
The second half of temple will open to a free space, to play solely with yourself, in supported self-pleasure, and with each other. You may also practise witnessing, in stillness, or in play.
This temple is open to those with a certain level of experience in Sacred sexuality and sex-positive spaces. Awareness, openness and willingness to explore is essential for your own self-care and also the synergy of the group.
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 Temple will be held throughout.
FOR COUPLES: Please make your agreements together before you arrive at Temple. It is totally fine if you wish to stay purely with each other during the Temple.
All genders are welcome, in couples of all combinations.
This is a non-genital to genital penetration space.
