It’s so much fun to be in a room where lots of gender non-conforming peeps are represented and where we support each other to follow our “yes” toward whatever consensual connections follow, where we feel safe and encouraged to connect outside of heteronormative play… so yummy…
This temple is a place of fearless play, a live laboratory to learn to ask for what you want and to be encouraged to say no unapologetically to everything else!
This is an experiential party for the sensually adventurous. This is an invitation to dive deeply into yourself and each other in ways you may have been afraid to do in the past. This is the party you want to come to even if you’ve never been to one before. We create an expansive, feeling-full environment charged with electricity, yet warmly grounded and earthy. A safe and sacred container for exploring kisses and hugs in a relaxed space. This party encourages your curiosity about taking your own sensuality to the next level. The evening is a celebration of imagination and curiosity, so you may experience as many flavors as you dare. Come dressed in something that makes you feel sacred and feeling good about yourself!
Next let Robert (aka Tantra Daddy), Peter, and Monique, lead you through a welcome circle where a room of strangers slowly opens and winds up on the same page, having the opportunity to be seen, heard, and understood in ways maybe you have never even imagined!
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 is a manifestation and expression-of our vital life-force and creative energy. It can play, move, 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.
ONLINE REGISTRATION AT:
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
You identify as anywhere on the spectrums of LGBTQIA, Queer, Transgender, and/or Non Binary.
You are sensually and emotionally savvy and you know how 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.
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. Bring some popcorn.
All genders, bodies, and orientations welcome. Come as you are and have a great time!
We especially welcome trans, queer and other folks living anywhere within the spectrum – we recognize how heteronormative spaces can be challenging and non-inviting for us and we aim to challenge this through our conversations and actions.
TIME:
Doors open at 7:00 PM and CLOSE AT 7:30 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 midnight. PLEASE text Monique at 6196018852 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.
