December 13-14th | Christmas/ End of Year Tantra Temple Night

Christmas Tantra Touch Temple Night & optional Sleepover

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.

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
• The Temple Night only
• Or stay for BOTH and 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.
