December 13th | Christmas/ End of Year Tantra Temple Night

Christmas Tantra Touch Temple Night & Sleepover

Taste of Love • December 13 • Burringbar

Our final Taste of Love event for the year - and it’s always a special one.

The Christmas Tantra Touch Temple Night is a playful, heart-open evening of conscious touch, connection, and celebration. We explore touch in all its forms - nurturing, supportive, sensual, and yes, a little bit spiced - all within clear consent and safety.

This Temple weaves the spirit of Christmas through giving, receiving, and gifting - including playful games like Naughty Santa, and rituals that celebrate generosity, joy, and embodied presence.

You’re welcome to come dressed as Santa, angels, elves, or in your sparkliest festive attire. The hot tub, magnesium pool, and ice bath will be open all night - so bring a towel and your curiosity.

✨ Overnight Option ✨
Stay the night on-site - bring your tent, van, or join the communal cuddle-friendly sleepover space.

In the morning, we’ll share breakfast, live music by Julie Hayes, and a gentle closing session to integrate and complete the experience together.

The Temple Night follows our Day Workshop, where we explore the deeper foundations of giving and receiving - a perfect warm-up for the evening’s play.

You can book:
• Temple Night only
• Day Workshop + Temple Combo
• Or the Full Package - including Sleepover and Morning Session

Come celebrate the year with us - in connection, joy, and touch.
