December 13th | Christmas Tantra Touch Temple | Burringbar

Experience the Taste of Love Tantra Touch Temple Night this Christmas

Relax into a playful and deeply nourishing evening filled with touch, sensory delights, and festive joy in a safe and respectful space. Whether you’re embracing self-love, deepening intimacy with a partner, or exploring touch-based connection with others, this transformative Temple Night invites you into a realm of intimacy, vitality, and bliss.

Guided by ancient tantric philosophies, we’ll explore the three primary types of touch—nurturing, remedial, and sensual—all within a safe, optional, and fully guided environment. Through movement, meditation, and somatic exercises, we’ll cultivate presence, connection, and embodiment, allowing you to feel the interplay of emptiness and matter, freedom and attachment, and the beauty of secure, attuned connection.

Marion, a masterful facilitator with over a decade of experience running monthly temples, creates a space where newcomers and experienced participants alike feel welcomed and supported. There is clear guidance on boundaries and personal needs, ensuring that everyone can engage at their own pace while exploring authentic connection and self-awareness.

During the evening, expect a mix of playful, heart-opening experiences, including Xmas games, sensory treats, dance, movement practices, shamanic-inspired touch exercises, bioenergetics to release blockages, and somatic meditation for deep relaxation. A wish-fulfilling corner will offer a unique space for conscious exploration, where you can set intentions and be met with presence and awareness.

In the free-flow segment, you can choose to cuddle, chat, relax, or explore deeper sensuality, all within a container of respect and consent. The space will hold many different flavors of experience, vibrating with joy, connection, and mindful expansion.

Dress in festive colors—sensual attire is warmly welcomed! This event is open to singles, couples, and individuals of all sexual orientations and genders, with careful attention to gender balance.

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.

🌹 Guided Program: Cultivating Presence & Connection: 6:30 PM – 10:00 PM (Doors close 7:00 PM sharp).

The first two hours of the temple are a carefully guided experience designed to bring you into a state of inner fullness, nervous system regulation, and deep self-awareness. Through boundary exercises, somatic practices, and meditation, we slow down, attune to our bodies, and cultivate a state of balance and receptivity.

From this place of wholeness, we explore different layers of touch:

- Remedial Touch – Therapeutic, supportive touch such as massage, learning to communicate our needs and truly receive.
- Nurturing Touch – Soothing the nervous system, offering comfort, safety, and a deep sense of connection.
- Sensual Touch – Awakening joy, bliss, and life force energy within the body, whether through self-touch or shared experiences with others.

This is a guided experiment in human connection—an invitation to explore how touch affects us when it is conscious, safe, and attuned to our personal boundaries.

🌹 Free Play: Honoring Your Individual Needs: 10:00 PM – 11:45 PM

Following the structured exploration, we transition into a supported Free Play space. Here, participants are invited to follow their own desires, whether that means receiving a cuddle, a nurturing massage, or engaging in a deeper sensual connection. While sexuality is not the focus of the guided program, the space is open for those who wish to explore their sensuality in a conscious and consensual way.

• A spacious time to integrate, move freely, and deepen your experience.
• Follow your curiosity in a safe and supportive environment that allows for releasing blockages and inviting intuition.

💆‍♀️ Relax & Rejuvenate: 11:45 PM - MIDNIGHT

• Enjoy the internal Temple space for quiet reflection or gentle connection.
  

🌙 Closing Ceremony & Group Pack-Up: MIDNIGHT

• We end with a beautiful closing ritual, bringing the group together in shared presence, reflection, and gratitude.
  

• Gather as a community to close the space with intention, gratitude & cuddle puddles.
