WELCOME TEMPTATION MYSTICS
Are you ready to shed your layers and connect with the essence of your being? Are you ready to explore the depths of your desire, guided by your sovereign-self into deeper, conscious love? Are you prepared to express your desires, needs and boundaries?
Temptation isn’t something to hide; it’s a pulse, a call toward truth. When we meet it with open hearts and presence, temptation transforms—becoming a sacred invitation to connect, to play, to honor desire as a path of deeper knowing. In Art of Temptation, we step into this dance together, where the spark of attraction meets the light of consciousness, revealing the sacred in each shared moment.
INVITATION & INTENTION
This is an invitation to connect with eros in a conscious, present, and respectful way. The intention is to meet each other heart-to-heart, witnessing and honouring each person’s authentic expression, whether it is sensual, tender, shy, or ecstatic.
BOUNDARIES & CONSENT
We welcome your YES as much as we welcome your NO.
To this day, we have yet to meet someone who hasn’t had difficultly expressing or upholding their boundaries. While no space is without its challenges, the Temple is designed to be a safe learning ground for exploring and respecting boundaries.
A temple is an opportunity to deepen our relationship with our boundaries and consent.
THIS EVENT MAY NOT BE FOR YOU IF…
This event may not be for you if you often feel extremely challenged in expressing or upholding your boundaries, you’re solely looking to ‘hook up’ or if you’re uncomfortable with boundary exploration. The Temple is an intentional space for deep, conscious connection.
Our task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within ourselves that we have built against it.
~ Jalaluddin Mevlana Rumi

OTHER INFORMATION
The evening will be gender balanced. This event is open to all beings: women, men, non-binary, LGBTQIA+; individuals, couples, throuples; those who identify as open, poly, monogamish, or monogamous; and those with experience in ISTA, TNT, Beyond, or anyone newer to this space.
Emotional support will be available throughout the evening, and we encourage you to reach out if you need it. While we’re here to hold space, it’s important to take responsibility for your needs and let us know how we can help. We also understand that, in moments of challenge or trauma response, asking for support can feel difficult. If we notice signs that you may need assistance, we’ll gently check in with you.
This is a substance-free event. To maintain the clarity and safety of the space, we kindly ask that you refrain from using alcohol, plant medicines, or other substances. If someone appears to be under the influence, we may need to ask them to leave to honour the integrity of the event for everyone.
The evening will begin with gentle solo and group connection practices, inviting you into presence and helping you settle into yourself, so you can explore what feels true for you in the moment.
We understand that the Temple is during dinner. We will therefore be offering a light meal consisting of snacks, nuts, fruit and dips etc. If you feel called to bring something to share, you are welcome.

Hylke van Sprundel
Hylke started his self-development trainings at the Centrum voor Tantra in Amsterdam in 2011 where he learned about ego structure, (self)inquiry, self expression, breathwork, polarity and desires. From 2013 on, he followed courses at The New Tantra and ISTA which give him clarity about sexual liberation and expression, healthy masculinity and radical honesty. He is practising non-violent communication and taking Hatha yoga lessons for over 15 years. His background in theatre gives him a skilled eye in how to transmit your being and how to present yourself. “I live from wonder, looking for beauty in the physical and non-physical world. Beauty for me is a feeling that touches, opens the heart, body and mind and can connect people. I look for openness, honesty, purity in myself and in others with loving attention, sincerity and empathy. I feel a great desire to see humour in things, it softens the rough sides of life and broadens the perspective on the world. I see my body as a communication tool to open the human being through my physical expression, voice, touch and transmission.”
