Temple Skills & Night

Mandatory Temple Skills workshop: 1-3PM

Temple Night: 5-10PM

WHAT IS A TEMPLE?

Think: A big room with a romantic-ish vibe, a group of sober people all together figuring out the awkwardnes of being human and connection through play, ritual and (maybe surprising) depth.

We gather with the intention of dropping the masks for a moment and getting real with each other: What actually happens when I meet myself and others with full honesty?

In a Temple, you get to feel and express that realness (and maybe also wtf gets in the way of it).

Temples are built on clear group agreements (call it ground rules if you want), consent and your own choice of how far and deep you want to go.

Vulnerability is kind of unavoidable here, babes, and that is what often creates real intimacy in a Temple.

WE DEEPLY CARE ABOUT THE QUALITY AND DEPTH OF OUR SPACES, WHICH IS WHY WE PROVIDE A TEMPLE SKILLS WORKSHOP - MANDATORY FOR ALL.

TEMPLE SKILLS WORKSHOP IN THE AFTERNOON (YES ALSO MANDATORY FOR THOSE WHO ARE SUPER DUPER TEMPLE EXPERIENCED). TEMPLE NIGHT IN THE EVENING. A JUICY DAY FILLED WITH INTIMACY.

Okay, let’s be honest here. Temple Nights can be breathtakingly beautiful and also deeply confronting. They’re spaces that tend to be highly charged when emotions and bodies meet. The veils between play, ritual and real life often blur. Without the right tools, it’s easy to get lost in the intensity of it all, unsure how to navigate what’s happening inside you or around you. Many people spent their first few temples being really busy managing the experience instead of sinking into it.

Understandably so, because most of us never received actual education in all of these human-ing skills which is why our interactions can feel… clunky. That’s where Temple Skills comes in.

Our mandatory Temple Skills workshop bridges the gap that exists between the skills society teaches and the ones you need for a nourishing temple experience. When you feel safe in your body and confident in your communication, the collective field becomes deeper and more alive for everyone. YUM!

At Lisbon Temple Nights we care deeply about maturing in how we meet ourselves and others. Our intention is to keep growing the Temple Nights into spaces of deep coherence where the people of Lisbon (and those who visit) can meet in ever greater awareness and care - a shared maturity that ripples through our cute little Lisbon bubble and the way we meet each other in life.

We will talk about and practice embodied skills you might need to feel confident and creative during the Temple Night. You’ll learn how to:

• establish consensual interactions
• feel an honest yes and no in your body, and attune to those of others
• touch in ways that feel nourishing and agenda-less
• be with uncomfortable emotions and sensations
• flow with and contribute to the collective ritual energy
• engage in safer sex and erotic responsibility

The Temple Skills workshop is mandatory only once.

A TEMPLE IS AN EXPERIENTIAL SPACE.

This means: Instead of talking about concepts or learning any theories, you get to engage your own senses and emotions and actually feel that in your body (a fancy word for it: embodied).

Whatever excites you, challenges you, turns you on, pisses you off, makes you melt, grieve or giggle - it all belongs here.

A Temple is where you can find your own answers by simply having your own experience: with yourself, with others, with whatever is present.

No two Temples are ever the same. A Temple is unpredictable and only works if you bring yourself in. Everything you show (or don't show) shapes this group experience because you -and your expression- matter.

A Temple is to be lived in, felt, interacted with.
