Monthly Temple Experiences (Blue Mist, NC)
We hold hold monthly temple weekends and traditional temples quarterly. Monthly temples are events that have a specific intention and theme and typically are more focused on community and connection and less on transformation. We hold these every Feb, March, April, August, September, November, & December.
Quarterly temples include ceremony, practices, experiences, and open play and have a stronger emphasis on transformation. Temple refers to the ancient practices of various cultures that utilize spirit, heart, and sexuality to transform. This is an extremely powerful, pleasurable, and impactful weekend experience! These more powerful experiences are held in January, May and October.
Tantra
Tantra is the art and practice of being more present and aligned with all areas of your body, psyche, mind, eros, and heart in order to experience deeper connection with self and others. It involves both sensual and sexual practices.
Kink
Kink has many flavors - for us its celebrating the parts of each of us that feel hidden, repressed, taboo, or shamed and bringing them to life through sensual, sexual, and archetype practices/scenes. We play with polarity and turn-on to enhance experience.
Energy
Energy practice is kind of a buzz word (literally lol) - for us energy is important because it gives us access to deeper, more intimate, more pleasurable layers of our experiences in all areas of life including sensuality and sexuality.

(Feb 22 - 23)
Temple of Love & Desire:
A Tantric Experience
(Whittier, NC)
Monthly Temple (February 22 - 23, 2024)
Theme: Temple of Love & Desire
With everything going on in the world and this season of the planet, what is more important to focus on than love? Love is mysterious. Love is expansive. Love is whole. As part of celebrating our whole being, we invite each of us during this February Temple, to seek, understand, celebrate, and embrace our natural, heart-based desires. Desire will be seen as an extension of our soul making love to our bodies. Following the desire thread can lead to the alchemy of the body. Transmutation can occur when Desire is a union of spirit and matter, soul and body.
Join us for a deep dive into love, unconditional, conditional, pure and messy! Come celebrate and practice the power of Desire!
