Gift yourself a tantric embodied meditation of bliss through touch

Whether you're embracing self-love, deepening your bond with a partner or touch based playfulness with others this transformative workshop 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. All exercises are optional and are aimed to experience tantric philosophy one oneness an interconnection of all things through the body as a felt sense. 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.

🌹 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.
