Age Requirements

Events & 1:1 sessions in the temple space are open to people aged 21 and over, unless stated otherwise.

This is because the work we do may bring forward deep emotional or energetic processes that require a certain level of maturity and self-awareness.

Code of Conduct / Respectful Space

This is a confidential and judgement-free space.
We ask that you come with an open heart, listen deeply, and respect the stories shared.

Please refrain from using phones, alcohol, or substances before and during the event.
Your full presence is your greatest gift to the circle.

Integration & Aftercare

Integration is where the real medicine unfolds.
After the circle, give yourself space to rest, hydrate, and journal any insights. Try not to rush anywhere or put yourself in a high stress environment post session.

You may feel lighter, clearer, or tender — all are natural signs of energetic release.

If you’d like additional support, we can recommend integration practitioners or one-on-one sessions with our facilitators.

Health, Safety & Contraindications

Please read before attending. Some practices used in our circles may not be suitable for everyone.

We always invite you to honour your body, take full responsibility for your wellbeing, and participate only as feels right.

If any of the below apply to you, please consult with your relevant health or support professionals before attending.

Our facilitators are not medical practitioners, and participation is always by personal choice and responsibility.

Contraindications include:

- Serious cardiovascular conditions, high blood pressure, recent surgery or injury

- Epilepsy or seizure disorders

- Pregnancy (please inform facilitators or practitioners)

- Acute mental health conditions (psychosis, schizophrenia, mania)

- Use of certain medications (MAOIs, SSRIs) if participating in cacao or hape

If unsure, please contact us prior to booking so we can guide you safely.

Mental Health & Emotional Support Clause

Our facilitators are experienced in holding sacred, safe space — but this is not a substitute for therapy or psychiatric care.
These gatherings can sometimes surface buried emotions, memories, or grief. We encourage participants to seek professional support where needed, and to reach out to us for recommendations to integrative or trauma-informed practitioners.

You are never alone in your process — please let us know if you need aftercare or integration guidance.

Photography & Media

To protect privacy and sacred space, photography and recording are not permitted during the ceremony.
You may capture a few respectful images before or after the circle, please ask permission to take photos of any people's faces.
If we intend to take our own photos or videos, we will notify you and you may decline to be in them.
