A Temple Day For The Queers
A full day of queer (curious) joy, tender touch and playful pleasure
by Marry & Jordana | May 17th 1-10PM | Quinta do Amor, Arrábida
Hey tender misfits, rebellious babes, queer-curious cuties & sweet baddies - this one’s for you.
Welcome to A Temple Day for the Queers: a full-day experience where you get to be your softest, silliest, sexiest, most you self.
This Temple was born out of love, frustration and fierce devotion. In our experience, temple spaces have centered cishet energy, spiritual bypassing and unspoken norms that leave queer bodies and queer desire on the fringes. Like, have you ever been to one of those temples where you had to buy a gendered ticket (without a non-binary option of course), were partnered up in hetero-presenting ways and the lingo had masculine and feminine energy constantly confused with being man and woman. That has been a big FUCK-NO for us. Some spaces are queer-inclusive, putting the believe that we’re all queer in soul at the center. We wanted something different. Something gayer. Something queer-centered.
So we made this: a space where queerness isn’t just “included” or “welcome”, it’s acknowledged as the heart of the ritual. A day designed by queers, for queers (and the curious!), where your expressions are celebrated.
It’s not a workshop.
It’s not a sex party.
It’s not a fast food hook-up space.
It’s a curated container where we explore deep connection, authentic intimacy, sensuality, touch, boundaries, our emotional world and big juicy queer joy; with lots of reverence.
All genders welcome. All identities welcome. All emotional states welcome. No label knowing required. No experience in “these kind of spaces” needed, just need to bring a readiness to meet other queers where they’re at and your curiosity (and your undies because this an undies on space).
but what even is a temple?
In this case, think: queer slumber party meets conscious cuddle puddle meets sensual playground.
Temples are facilitated spaces for exploring intimacy and potentially erotic energy without pressure, performativity or expectation. We guide you gently at first and then you get to follow your pleasure, your edges, and your yes/no (not your maybe’s).
There will be exercises to bring you in touch with your inner world, partnered exercises to build connection, exercises that educate you around body awareness and attunement, consent exercises, touch exercises.
There will be moments of movement, stillness, silence. There will be choice and voice and deep listening.
There will be space for big feelings, awkwardness, joy and spicy shenanigans - if that feels true for you.
the flow aka.
what you’re getting into.
afternoon.
show up, settle in
Arrive. Land. Sip something sparkly (non-alcoholic because this event is sober, baby). We’ll ease in with intros, temple agreements (aka how to make this hot and safer) and a few low-stakes connection games to warm your queer little hearts.
connection playground
We’re talking paired or group exercises designed to build trust, spark chemistry and get you into your body without pressure. Eye gazing, gentle touch, sexy-but-wholesome games, yes please.
Your yes is holy, your no is celebrated. Everything we offer on this day is an encouragement and invitation but you do you, boo. You choose your level of involvement and intensity.
Break Time – Poolside Snacks & Vibes
Chill. Swim. Flirt over fruit platters. Let your nervous system breathe.
evening.
ritual time - a layer deeper
We offer a guided lil’ ritual to awaken the collective queer heartbeat of the room.
delicious dinner
We eat together, decompress from the ritual, share stories. Connect more.
Intimacy buffet
We open the doors to follow your own pleasure. The temple space is yours to explore. Wanna cuddle? Wanna be witnessed? Wanna lay in the corner under a fuzzy blanket and vibe? Wanna make out with that hottie you flirted with all day? Wanna sit in the middle and cry? Yes to all.
closing circle, we wrap up with care
We’re closing the container. We reflect. We integrate. We hug (or not). You leave full in body and heart. May have born a new little community, may not. Who knows yet? <3
Consent & care are the Sexiest Things in the Room
We move slow. We listen deep. We make it normal to ask, check in, renegotiate and lovingly decline. You are always in choice here.
The container is:
Clothing optional (but undies stay on)
Sensual and optionally erotic, but not genital or penetrative
Welcoming deep emotions, grief, madness, tenderness
Emotional support and grounded facilitation are woven in
Making space for desire and turned-on energy and also cool if that’s not present for you
You’re free to opt out of any activity at any time
There are cozy no-one-fuck-with-me spaces if you want alone time
The venue is surrounded by nature (trees! views! a pool!)
Held by experienced facilitators who’ve got your back
some love for the
shy, slow- moving, slightly nervous:
We see you. Being nervous before a new or intimate experience is so common. You don’t have to be loud, flirty or extroverted to belong here. We love and respect your pace. This Temple is built with softness in mind. We start slow, with clear agreements and super guided connection practices. You’ll never be thrown into the deep end or asked to partner up if you’re not ready. You get to move at your own time, take breaks, opt out, observe, cry, laugh or just breathe. Every part of you is welcome (we mean it).
curious who don’t (yet) identify as queer:
This space was made for you, too. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a label, a look or a backstory. If you’ve ever felt drawn to queer energy, wanted to explore new ways of connecting, longed to be in a space that doesn’t ask some compulsory heteronormativity from you and feels fluid, and real, this is your invitation. There’s room here for questioning, for wondering, for exploring without pressure.

We can’t wait to welcome you in.
meet your facilitators and a little confession below…
-
I’m a certified somatic sexologist passionate about helping queer babes feel deeply connected to their bodies and queerness.
I know what it’s like to carry shame around your pussy, your desires, and your right to take up space as a queer person. For years, I struggled to feel “enough,” faking confidence while feeling so disconnected inside.
That’s why I’ve devoted my life to creating safe, celebratory spaces where you can unravel that shame, reconnect with your body, and discover the pleasure and freedom you’ve always deserved. Through trauma-informed somatic practices, tantra, and years of working with queer-bodied humans, I help you build trust with your body, embrace your desires, and live unapologetically in your pleasure. This isn’t about perfection; it’s about learning to listen to your body, honour your boundaries, and say a full-bodied yes to your queerness and pussy.
You’re worthy of a life where you feel confident, turned on, and fully in love with who you are. And I’m here to walk that journey with you.

I work as a sex educator, trained as a sex and relationship therapist, and lover of ritual arts. I’m devoted to creating spaces where humans can feel free, soft, connected and so bloody honest. I’ve spent years weaving together the erotic with the emotional, the playful with the profound, and building spaces where the full range of human-ness is welcome.
I center connection and intimacy that’s felt rather than performed. I care about creating moments where people feel seen and met exactly where who they are at. I don’t believe in fixing anyone. I believe in meeting people exactly where they are, with full permission.
I’ve been holding temple spaces for over three years, designing and facilitating experiences that center consent, attunement and deep listening. From sapphic temples to all gender spaces, I’ve guided hundreds of humans through moments of touch, tears, laughter, turn-on and everything in between. My temple approach is far away from any spiritual dogma, it’s political and human, with a splash of woo-woo. This work keeps evolving, but the heart of it stays the same: we come together to be real, to feel more and to remember we’re not alone.
a quiet truth between the three of us…
We’ve both held years’ worth of sapphic temples. Spaces overflowing with tenderness, depth, queer/lesbian celebration. Also spaces for all bodies and sexualities. We did it all. And this? This is our very first all-genders queer temple. To be honest, we have no idea exactly how it’s going to unfold. We’re a little nervous. We’re also wildly excited. What we do know is that we’re walking into this day equipped with all the tools, care, experience and love we need to hold it well. We trust the power of queer community. And if it gets a little awkward or messy along the way? That’s part of it too and we’re here for it. No matter how the day turns out, we know we’ll land in something honest and heartful and deeply worth showing up for. <3
