One Night Only Jan 6.
Dave Booda is one of our beloved Community leaders who also happens to be a kick ass musician and who decided to create new music for the first time in 11 years!! He has been a great friend and huge inspiration to me.
Come join us for a San Diego House Concert followed by an All Gender Temple Party (Dave may even share a few of his rockstar massage and play techniques). If you have never experienced his live performances you are in for a treat!!
We welcome all genders and compassionate curious explorations of your own gender expression.
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 play 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, sensual, and sxxuality, 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 Peter, and Monique 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/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.
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…
