WELCOME TEMPLE EXPLORERS
What does it mean to truly touch and be touched? To meet another and allow that meeting to awaken something deeper? In Art of Touch, we invite you to step into a space where touch becomes the living gateway to Eros where every stroke, caress, and press opens the body to more life, more truth, more freedom.
Through this lens of conscious, embodied touch, we peel back the layers of tension and habit, softening into a richer experience of ourselves and each other. Our prayer rises where Eros meets reverence, where the language of skin and sensation becomes a portal to soul, and where the spark of life dances between us, offered and received in tender trust.

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 emerges as playful, sensual, shy, or wildly ecstatic.

BOUNDARIES & CONSENT
We welcome your YES as much as we welcome your NO.
The Temple is designed to be a safe learning ground for exploring and respecting boundaries. While no space is completely without its challenges, this is a place where you can deepen your relationship with your boundaries and practice honouring them—both for yourself and others.

IMPORTANT
This Temple is best suited for those who have prior experience in spaces that explore boundaries, consent, and embodied connection. If you have not attended trainings such as TNT, ISTA, or similar, we kindly ask that you first explore foundational offerings before joining us.
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.’
You’re uncomfortable with boundary exploration.
The Temple is an intentional space for deep, conscious connection, and we want to ensure it feels aligned for all participants.

OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLE
"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.
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. 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. 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.”
