Monthly Temple Experiences (Blue Mist, NC)
We hold hold monthly temple weekends and traditional temples quarterly. Monthly temples are events that have a specific intention and theme and typically are more focused on community and connection and less on transformation. We hold these every Feb, March, April, August, September, November, & December.
Quarterly temples include ceremony, practices, experiences, and open play and have a stronger emphasis on transformation. Temple refers to the ancient practices of various cultures that utilize spirit, heart, and sexuality to transform. This is an extremely powerful, pleasurable, and impactful weekend experience! These more powerful experiences are held in January, May and October.
Tantra
Tantra is the art and practice of being more present and aligned with all areas of your body, psyche, mind, eros, and heart in order to experience deeper connection with self and others. It involves both sensual and sexual practices.
Kink
Kink has many flavors - for us its celebrating the parts of each of us that feel hidden, repressed, taboo, or shamed and bringing them to life through sensual, sexual, and archetype practices/scenes. We play with polarity and turn-on to enhance experience.
Energy
Energy practice is kind of a buzz word (literally lol) - for us energy is important because it gives us access to deeper, more intimate, more pleasurable layers of our experiences in all areas of life including sensuality and sexuality.

Temple of Dance:
A Tantric Experience
(Whittier, NC)
Theme: Temple of Dance
Date: May 17th 3 p.m. to May 18th 11 a.m.

This is probably Anna's favorite temple of the year. Dance has been used as a healer, celebrator, channeler, and oracle since the beginning of time. All cultures incorporate dance or movement. Anna has an extensive career and gift for dance and will be bringing her magic in this unique temple experience.
Within the elements of dance, we find body, space, time and energy. Equally, add sound and environment, and we can create worlds. This temple will explore our connection to our bodies, our movement, connection with others through dance, and dance as a group field or community builder. We will have a lot of fun - and of course we can't ignore some great "dirty dancing"!
