UPCOMiNG WORKSHOPS
UPCOMiNG WORKSHOPS
Our workshops move across three levels: beginner, intermediate and advanced.
MAR. 29TH, 4-7PM
LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE
With Simon.
POWER PLAY
Power Play is an embodied exploration of how we relate to power: where we are drawn to it, where we are repelled from it, where we hand it away.
Power dynamics and hence discrepancies exist in all relationships, even romantic or erotic ones. In the erotic realm especially, power is not a side note but it is the current running underneath desire. When we become conscious of it, something shifts. Not only does being conscious of the power dynamics increase the pleasure of being in consent but increases the hotness we can experience when we are in a power dynamic.
In the workshop, we will discuss three forms of power and then embody them.

ENERGETIC SEX
Energetic Sex explores the electrical, energetical side to our sexuality. You may have felt it before: that spark of aliveness inside you, that jolt of lightning when you’re getting turned on, that heightened frequency when your erotic energy is flowing.
That’s what we’re talking about. It’s real. It’s in your body. And it’s wonderful!
FEB. 22TH, 4-6PM
LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE
With Simon.
ANIMAL MATURITY
Let’s make it really clear: when we say “animal” here, we’re not talking about pretending we’re cats acting wild or role playing animal scenes. Don’t confuse animal maturity with primal play. We’re talking about the felt layer of instinct that sits underneath our human social conditioning that comes out to play whether consciously or unconsciously.
This workshop is for people who have noticed that something animalistic emerges when sensuality is involved. Maybe you have seen it in your private life or at a Temple Night. Maybe you have observed it more in others than in yourself.
Our aim is to not tame that animal inside us nor let it run wild but unleash it by bringing awareness and maturity to its expression.
JAN. 25TH, 1-3PM
LEVEL: BEGINNER
With Jo.
TOUCH LITERACY
Touch is one of the most intimate things we do and we do it with almost zero education.
This workshop treats touch like what it actually is: a language. And like any language, it has vocabulary (the types of touch), grammar (how we string sensations together), and dialects (the unique ways each body speaks and listens) - and we're going to learn to read touch the way you'd read a slow burning novel.
At Touch Literacy we're going to slow the fuck down. Stop pretending we know what we're doing. Start learning what our bodies actually want.

oxytocin lab for the queers
This is a space for the queers and everyone under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella.
We're calling it Oxytocin Lab because that's what we're here to generate: the hormone of connection, trust and co-regulation. We'll get there by letting go of intensity and bringing slow pleasure, soft touch and the profound relief of being seen in a space that was built for you.
We're not pretending we're not affected by the world we live in. We're creating a container where queer bodies - all of them, in all their expressions - can practice belonging. And we're doing it through touch, presence and the radical act of slowing the f down.

LEVEL: BEGINNER

temple skills
Temple Skills is our foundational workshop (mandatory for temple first timers) that helps you feel skilled enough to explore and safe enough to surrender to your own creativity in your Temple Night experience and in real life.
Temple Nights can be breathtakingly beautiful and also deeply confronting. They’re spaces that tend to be highly charged when emotions and bodies meet. The veils between play, ritual and real life often blur.
Without the right tools, it’s easy to get lost in the intensity of it all, unsure how to navigate what’s happening inside you or around you.
But with this workshop, we’ve got you!
