Welcome to the "How to Temple" Workshop

Facilitated by Mano & Manon

Entering a temple space can be both inviting and, at the same time, feel like a big step. For those who are curious but haven’t yet taken that step, we’ve designed this workshop. During this evening, we will take the time to explain what a temple is, what to expect, introduce you to our safety guidelines, and discuss the potential challenges one may face in a temple setting. We will also cover what it’s like to participate as a couple or as a single person, who our temple is best suited for, and who it may not be suitable for.

The workshop will have a temple-inspired atmosphere. The space will be decorated in a temple style, and the music will reflect the vibe of our temple evenings. However, unlike our regular temple nights, there is no need to wear lingerie, underwear, or kimono. Please come in comfortable clothing (but no jeans). There will be no nudity.

We will guide you through some simple exercises, though participation is entirely optional. If you attend with a partner, you may choose to participate together. There will be nothing sexual about the exercises. We will demonstrate typical temple practices that you can later try at home.

Expect a fun and insightful evening!
