Men's Temple

Welcome to Men’s Temple.

We welcome you to join our deepening collective of men building trust and safety together.

We invite eros, movement, groundedness, mutual support, and whatever else feels right.

Men’s temple is a space where men of all sexual orientations to meet in curiosity and enquiry.

Why do we hold this space?

We see how deeply subtle distrust and fear between men can affect how we show up in the world, and our space comes from a yearning to find clear, secure and supportive connection between men.

It’s a space to listen to and express boundaries, and stretch your comfort zone in the ways you choose to, finding new ground for cameradery, playfulness and pleasure.

We want to create a space for men that doesn’t presuppose how we will show up, but invites us to simply keep showing the truth of what is, guided by our own bodies.

We have loved seeing the moments of expression and bravery that men have brought, and how this has affected the room.

The deeper that each man goes in exploring who they really are in relationship to others, the more the magic in the room grows.

What themes do men typically explore?

Some themes which we have seen men work through in the space are:

How is it to be heard and seen by other men?
What support do we desire from the collective of men? What would it feel like to truly receive the support we wish for?
What are our wounds around connection with men?
What kind of intimacy would we like in our relationships to men? What are our fears?

Who can join?

Anyone who is identifies as a man, or who would like to do so within the Temple container. You may exploring platonically or erotically. Others in the space may be in erotic intimacy with each other, so a readiness to witness this and to be with your own feelings around this is necessary.

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 temple space for men has been his ongoing mission, 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.
