Midwinter Heart Temple

Mid-winter Heart  Temple

In the heart of mid-winter, come to a place of pause where darkness, stillness and the timeless, all meet - the place where the world grinds to stand still and rest. Come with your animal body and your very human heart into a ritual, where silence asks us listen deeper than our thinking mind, to a space where feeling, presence,  impulse and intimacy emerge.

The first half of the day will be an invitation to  open  our bodies and meet ourselves and each other through the embodied container of ritual, tantric meditative practices, and temple traditions. Followed by lunch, a bring and share feast to celebrate 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. The place where we find the sun inside our hearts, to rest deep with ourselves and others , to share and play in Eros from a cosy, dark inner space. Jamus will DJ live.

This Temple is open to those who are experienced in Temple culture having attended 2 or 3 Temples. A certain level of 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.

Jamus:

I dance, I explore and I have an innate curiosity for life. Deeply influenced and rooted by the practices of Body Mind Centering, Contact Improvisation, explorations into The Land and Embodied Consciousness. Currently I am exploring the more than human relationship with Dartmoor and the question of what does the land remember.
TouchandPlay has been a rich place of learning, experiencing and play over the last ten years, so much so that I find myself as part of the organising teach for this unique and exciting experience.
