01/06/2024 thru 01/07/2024, New York, NY
This event will take place on the 58th floor of an amazing Manhatten highrise, near the Hudson River…. One of the best views of NYC.
This is an experiential party for the sensually adventurous. This special evening welcomes ALL and is very gender friendly. 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/sxxuality 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!
Reid and I start the evening with a taste of kink, yummy ways to turn your lover on within the realms of taboo….
Next let Monique, Peter, and Reid lead you through a welcome circle where a room of strangers slowly opens up 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, 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.
