About this Event

WHAT IS A TEMPLE NIGHT?


Temple nights are embodied ritual spaces that invite authenticity, vulnerability, courage and community. In there, we welcome the fullness of our embodied aliveness, including the many different flavors of eros, while honouring that that looks different for each person.

We will always invite you to listen to the truth that speaks through your body rather than submitting to outer structures.






BODY AS PRAYER is an invitation to all the humans who are either new to this concept or who are very familiar with it but want to approach the space with a beginner's mind (which can be helpful if you’ve reached a place where you feel like you’ve seen it all).






WHAT THE SPACE OFFERS:


Invitations to practice body awareness with self and others

Playful intimacy and sensuality

Facilitated practices and rituals to drop into your emotional and sensual depth

Clear boundaries around nudity and sexuality (underwear stays on!)

1-hour open space to explore and connect

Simple snacks

Spiritual curiosity





WHAT THE SPACE DOESN'T OFFER:


Penetrative sex, oral sex or any other form of stronger sexual connection

Shallow dating and easy hook-ups that encourage you to avoid your depth

Full nudity



.




SLOW IS THE NEW SAFE.


While we cannot assure a fully safe space (we just don’t believe that those spaces exist and any facilitator who promises that is reaching beyond their limitations), we want to do everything we can to have beginners feel super welcome to participate. We will do our best to support your inner safety by giving you the tools to listen to your body's "Yes" and "No", and by inviting as much slowness as possible.



At no point during the evening will you be compelled to to anything that you don’t want to do in order to be included in this ritual

There will be no practices inviting sexual interactions

You don’t even have to touch anyone, if that’s the truth of your body that night, and I’ll encourage you to keep your clothes on rather than take them off too fast



Instead of forcing you to open, which never works if you ask me, the idea is to hold a space that invites you to learn how to embody yourself so much that you know when it’s right to open and when not.




And of course, we’re all learning all the time.


This evening is much more about learning than about getting it right.








Practices might include these themes:


Consent and Boundaries (verbal & non-verbal)

Desire (how to express/how to not attach to them)

Declining invitations (how to express/receive a no)

Tapping into animal body wisdom

Opening the heart to deeper vulnerability

Group flow and intelligence

Play as a portal to god





.

ABOUT THE FACILITATORS


Francesca Maria

Francesca is deeply passionate about bridging the seen & unseen through ritual, trance and all forms of creative expression.


In the past three years she's been diving deep into the mysteries of matter and the body as an oracle and direct connection to the unconscious and the invisible realms of spirit.

Journeying deeply into the profound healing and transformation that comes through Eros when it is truly connected to the heart.


Drawing on formal education in Psychology and Somatic Sexology and on her experience with an array of body & soul oriented practices and transformational containers, she creates spaces of magick, prayer, play and permission, where we help each other remember more of who we really are.

Mathilde Constance

Mathilde supports a world where humans are fully alive, aware of their ability to choose, and in truthful connection with each other. She creates spaces for individuals to come home to their body, tap into its wisdom and live with ease, joy and purpose.


Her work revolves around becoming utterly sincere, stripping away conditioning and automatics, anchor who you really are and meet Life from that place. She supports people yearning for depth to build resilience, range and freedom to remember what they hold sacred and create the life they came here to live.


Since 2015 she has studied and practiced a variety of awareness-based modalities, such as Vipassana, the Gurdjieff Movements and teachings from the trans-himalayan tradition.

From there, her investigation has centered around Intimacy with oneself, other beings and existence. She dove into integrative practices such as Relational Meditation (Circling), classical and neo Tantra, Conscious Sexuality and applied Transactional Analysis.


She is trauma informed and has completed Irene Lyon's "Smart Body Smart Mind", an in-depth course on trauma and the nervous system. She is a certified Embodiment Facilitator and Tantric Bodywork practitioner. She has also completed both Layla Martin's VITA Coaching Methodology for Sex, Love and Intimacy and the 6-months International Facilitator Training with Shachar Caspi.
