Beneath the surface of numbness, overwhelm, or self-control lies a powerful truth: your emotions are not a problem to be solved, but a source of wisdom, vitality and connection.

This is a workshop for those ready to remember that feeling deeply is a strength — not a weakness.

Bring a yoga mat/mattress and a sturdy cushion or two. Wear comfortable clothing for exercise.

Overview

Join us for a morning immersive experience exploring the liberating power of breath, sound and movement to process emotion safely and intentionally.

This isn’t about performative catharsis or unleashing chaos — it’s about reclaiming your emotional body as a sacred compass, learning to stay present in intensity, and creating the inner space for authentic expression to emerge.

Whether your emotions are explosive, quiet, stuck or nowhere to be found — you are welcome here.

Why Emotions Matter

We live in a culture that tells us emotions are too much, too messy, or too inconvenient.

We suppress our grief, repress our rage, and even hide our joy — until the body begins to numb or break down under the weight of what hasn’t moved.

Emotions are messengers. When we let them flow through, they bring insight, release, clarity, and connection. When we block them, they build up and hijack us at unexpected times.

This work is about re-opening the natural pathways for emotion to move — so you can respond to life with presence, not reactivity.

What to Expect

This is a deeply practical and embodied 3-hour journey. You'll be guided through:

Emotional Activation & Shaking – awaken the body’s natural discharge systems
Voice Circle – express anger, grief, and joy in shared space
Somatic Emotional Tools – learn body-based techniques for moving emotional energy (from pillow pounding to wailing)
Solo Journey with Music – an inward emotional process supported by sound
Integration & Rest – a chance to ground and land, letting the nervous system rewire
Harvest Circle – space to share insights and integrate in community

Expect music, movement, deep feeling, safety, and space to be fully yourself.

Why This Matters for Temple Arts

To walk the path of sacred sexuality, emotional fluency is essential. Eros brings up emotions! Lots of them.

When we avoid grief, we block joy. When we suppress anger, we weaken our boundaries. When we chase pleasure while bypassing pain, we stay fragmented.

Temple work requires us to be present with all that we are — not just the blissful or erotic parts.

This workshop lays the emotional foundations for deeper intimacy, conscious touch, and embodied sovereignty.

Who This Workshop Is For:

This day is for you if:

You feel emotionally numb, overwhelmed, or disconnected
You want safe ways to feel and release big emotions without hurting yourself or others
You're on a healing, spiritual, or conscious sexuality path
You're tired of suppressing and ready to feel again

All genders, relationship styles, and levels of experience welcome. You don’t need to be ‘emotional’ to attend — you just need to be willing.

Benefits of Attending

Reconnect with your emotional body
Learn practical tools to process emotions in daily life
Develop inner resilience and nervous system capacity
Feel lighter, more alive, and more in touch with yourself
Take home techniques to use in your own practice
Prepare your inner landscape for deeper Temple and intimacy work

Ready to Join?

Come as you are. Leave more fully yourself.

Looking forward to meeting you.
