09/23/2023 thru 09/24/2023, Vista
Come join 3 tantrikas at play, and tap into your own limitless bliss….
What does “temple party” mean?
In short, it is whatever it means to you. We attach the word ‘sacred’ to any practice, experience, or way-of-being that slows us down and deepens our experience of being alive.
Our sensuality/sxxuality are a manifestation and expression-of our vital life-force and creative energy. It can play, move, and be shared and enjoyed in many ways. You are invited to co-create whatever feeds your soul.
Participation with a capital “P” can mean many things and voyeurs are as warmly welcomed as the most actively engaged. It’s a sensual space where participants are encouraged to explore themselves and others in ways that are stimulating, nurturing, exciting, safe and FUN!
This is the party you want to come to if you’ve never been AND this is the party you want to come to if you want to experience how to take generating safe play space for you and your loved ones to the next level.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
You are sensually and emotionally savvy enough to play nicely with others. You’re a good sharer, you take good care of your toys and you use your words. 🙂 You are somebody who knows your own wants and boundaries and can communicate them clearly… and/or you’re someone willing to work and explore these areas for your own growth and enjoyment! You treat yourself and others with respect and kindness.
If you’re reading this, thinking, “I would love to come, but I don’t want to play,” PLEASE COME and enjoy the pressure-free company of like-minded individuals and exit whenever you wish. Really. There will be no pressure for you to do ANY activity at this party at any time.
Our biggest request is that you come with a fun-loving, warm, caring, open-minded, generous, thoughtful, compassionate, non-judgmental attitude and that you conduct yourself with the highest level of integrity possible.
This will be a very chill, fun, playful event.
Come relax. Come smooch. Come play. Come watch.
All genders, bodies, and orientations welcome. Come as you are and have a great time!
We especially welcome trans, intersex, queer and other folks living anywhere within the spectrum – we recognize how hetero-normative spaces can be and aim to challenge this through our conversations and actions…
TIME
Doors open at 7:30 PM and CLOSE AT 8:00 PM. BE ON TIME as it is essential to have everyone present for the opening circle. There will not be anyone admitted after the doors are closed to preserve the safety of our space. The Welcome Circle is what we use to introduce ourselves to one another, craft meaningful conversations, share any boundaries and relationship agreements people should know about and get all comfy and ready to play. There will be a closing circle at 11:30pm. PLEASE text Monique at 619 601 8852 if you’re unavoidably running late, but please just be on time!
WHAT TO BRING
Whatever food and drink you might want for the evening. No drugs or alcohol please. We like our attendees to be present and capable of connection. Bring whatever clothing you’d like to don and lounge in while we frolic or just throw on your regular weekend clothes for relaxation. Bring along whatever toys or accessories you feel comfortable sharing with select individuals and whatever protection makes you feel safe, whatever you might be needing to create that perfect evening. Oh, and of course, please bring a Playful attitude and an open heart and mind.
