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.
