Whether you're embracing self-love, deepening your bond with a partner or touch based playfulness with others this transformative Temple Night invites you to step into a space of intimacy, vitality, and bliss. 

Guided by ancient tantric philosophies, we’ll explore the 3 main different types of touch: nurturing, remedial and sensual.

This embodied understanding is beyond words and can release an incredible amount of joy and bliss into your being, knowing yourself as interplay of emptiness and matter, freedom and attachment and feeling safety also called secure attached in your body with a healthy interplay of needs and boundaries with yourself and others.

Marion has been running monthly temples for over a decade and has mastered the art of gradually meeting participants exactly where they are at and offering a space open for exploration and experience for everyone no matter at what level you are at in your journey of embodiment. Newcomers and advanced temple goers are all welcome to create the magical event together of human connection, self and other. There is plenty of guidance around boundaries and truly feeling your individual needs in each moment and giving and receiving exactly that. We honour all 3 types of touch in the same way.

In the free flow part, you are able to relax deeply, cuddle, chat, engage and have fun within a lightly supportive structure that makes it easy for everyone to feel included. Participants are free here also to expand  their sensuality into a sexual exploration with one another should that feel truly alive, so the space will vibrate with many different flavours during that time, lots to learn, feel and explore, especially in our wish fulfilling corner you will be met in a space of people who want to be conscious and aware in growing and enjoying authentic connections together.

Touch Temple Night (& Combo Ticket) Schedule

Step into the Tantra Touch Temple, a sacred space for deep somatic exploration, presence, and conscious touch. Unlike common perceptions of Tantra, this temple is not solely about sexuality—it is a somatic journey into connection, embodiment, and the profound healing power of touch.

When Shakti meets Shiva

Shakti meets Shiva. She lives in everything— in the sky, the bliss of air. And so does Shiva live in her, in the earth, as his division.

Shakti and Shiva are always connected— in life and in death, in matter and in ether, in thought, in pure awareness.

She is the bliss. My body is a temple, a child of Shakti and Shiva, a child of vision, filled with bliss.

A child of matter, nurtured by the fruits of the earth, fed by the waters of the ground below, energized by the fresh air of the winds and mountains.

I am a child of the universe, in life and in death. This sacred union keeps on— moving, changing, dancing.

I am here as its witness, worshipping in reverence. Eros lives in my body as an expression of the divine life force in matter.

Bliss lives in my body as an expression of the divine life force’s vision of me. Both am I to bear, to listen to, to hold, to respond— not to control, but to be their humble servant.

Here I am, standing free, liberated from any thoughts, chores, or jobs to do.

Moved and unevaded, animated, listening, available— a servant of love and surrender. In this place, I find you, over and over again: plant, animal, sunshine, man, woman, lover, friend, child.

You are my family. I can be the silent witness— expanding beyond borders, limitless, free, without boundaries. I can be in conversation with my body, my heart, my soul.

I can be met in awareness— or I cannot. Either way, it doesn’t make a difference, because creation was and is always one.
