BODY AS PRAYER Beginner's Temple Trilogy /part one

TEMPLE TROLOGY: Join for one, two or all three editions of this spring/summer season. The temples build on each other but are full and complete journeys on their own as well.

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. My spaces 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).

2024 Temple Trilogy, part one: COURAGE
What does it feel like to move from courage? Where are the points of tension in my life that I am ready to meet and face and how can my body support me in doing that? This temple will focus on the embodied reality of being the leader in your life.

.

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 & tea

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 I cannot assure a fully safe space (I just don’t believe that those spaces exist and any facilitator who promises that is reaching beyond their limitations, if you ask me), I want to do everything I can to have beginners feel super welcome to participate.

• At no point during the evening will you be asked to to anything that you don’t want to do
• 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)
• Rejection (how to give/receive)
• Tapping into animal body wisdom
• Opening the heart to deeper vulnerability
• Group flow and intelligence
• Play as a portal to god

.
