“Not For Beginners” Temple Party
This is an evening for folks already familiar with sxx-positive events designed to explore our erotic creativity, create sensual connections, ask for what we want & better honor our boundaries, make new friends, and frolic together. Led by the most experienced play/temple party leaders on the planet!! Reid, Monique, and Peter, we have led 1000’s of parties all over the globe….
Requirements To Attend:
Requirement #1 — You and your guests (if buying multiple tickets) must have attended at least 3 other play party events that teach consent and boundaries (rather than just “free for all” parties). This event is not for beginners. You will be asked to note what events you’ve attended during checkout.
Requirement #2 — You must be over 21 to attend.
All genders and compassionate, curious explorations of your own gender expression are welcome. Sxxual orientations & relationship styles of all kinds as well as LGBTQIA+ and allies are welcome.
This is an experiential party for the sensually adventurous who’ve already been attending play party events (see requirements). This is an event where you are free to take care of yourself while diving deeply into yourself and each other in ways that may not be common in the “default world.”
This is also a brave space where it’s safe to say no thank you to erotic exchanges and keep things platonic. Kisses, cuddles, hugs and voyerism are just as welcome and encouraged as full-out play.
Come dressed in something that makes you feel fun and ready to frolic. Dress in ways that help you feel great about yourself!
The evening will begin with a welcome circle and ice-breaking games to help folks get connected and on the same page with the consent & play agreements for the evening as well as house rules, etc.
What does “temple” or “play” party mean?
In short, it is whatever it means to you with the underlying intention that you do your best to leave yourself and others feeling honored & respected. We strive to co-create trustworthiness in our connections and exchanges such that all involved are filled with happiness rather than regret, even when exchanges and interactions might have challenged us or gone more crunchy than smooth.
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, collaborative, safe and FUN!
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
• You have already attended 3 or more play party events that teach consent and boundaries (rather than just “free for all” parties)
• 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, boundaries, and limitations 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 even when you find yourself in emotionally challenging situations.
If you’re reading this, thinking, “I’ve been to several play parties and I would love to come, but I don’t want to play,” PLEASE COME and enjoy the pressure-free company of like-minded, experienced individuals and exit whenever you wish. Really. There will be no pressure for you to do ANY activity at this party at any time. And you are welcome to leave early.
My 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.
