Christmas Day Workshop - The Art of Giving, Receiving & Gifting

Christmas is around the corner, and every year we gather to soften, laugh, and celebrate the community we’ve built together.

This year, we’re offering a full-day immersion in the art of giving, receiving, and gifting - exploring how we show love, appreciation, and presence with one another.

In this Day Workshop, we’ll dive into somatic and relational practices that help us open to both giving and receiving. Through partnered and group exercises, movement, and reflection, we’ll explore what it means to feel worthy of receiving and the joy of giving unconditionally.

A beautiful vegan lunch is included, and the day will flow gently into the evening’s Christmas Tantra Touch Temple Night, where we take the themes of the workshop into a deeper, more playful celebration of touch and connection.

You’re welcome to:
• Come to the Day Workshop only
• Join the Temple Night only
• Or stay for both or choose the Full Package - including the Sleepover and Morning Session with live music and breakfast.

A beautiful way to close the year - connected, held, and full of heart.
