SOLD OUT Temple of Eden: Midwinter Magic, Movement & Medicine (Full Day Women/Femme Retreat + Temple Party)

Imagine stepping into a feminine temple - a gorgeous mansion with sunlight pouring through huge windows, as if Goddess herself opened a portal just for you. Beautiful and wise beings stand together, in a gathering of women who are ready - finally - to drop our masks, witness each other, and move from the deepest parts of their bodies. 

On January 31st, for one day only, the Temple of Eden opens again - this time as an embodied, femme-centered somatic immersion and temple party. A space where movement and music becomes medicine, sisterhood becomes sanctuary, winter feels like warmth, and play becomes the portal to healing and action. 

This is a vetted event. Submit an application here: https://forms.gle/WkKoFVhuiU6jCGga8

WHAT TO EXPECT

• A fully immersive experience - not a passive workshop or wellness seminar, but a living experience your body will remember

• Grounding arrival practices: Playful connection games and a guided tantra puja designed to melt resistance, soften your nervous system, and bring you fully back into your body.

• Somatic + embodiment workshops focused on movement, sisterhood, dance, nervous system regulation, and practices held in a container of bravery, community, and reverence

• Evening programming: A nourishing dinner, consent + boundaries exercises, an erotic wrestling workshop by Eden & Aruna, an all-femme ecstatic dance set by DJ Electrocute, somatic shibari workshop with Leora & Eden, and free space to dance, journal, breathe, stretch, connect, and play at your own pace.

• Optional specialty offerings: Kink demos, Temple play-party room, and boudoir photoshoots (available as an add-on with the photographer).

• Deep sisterhood & connection: Time and space to bond with the feminine beings you’ve journeyed with, cultivating new friendships and intimate community.

By the time we close, you’ll feel different - more rooted, more open, more nurtured, more you.

This is your winter reawakening.
This is the divine feminine embodied.
This is the Temple of Eden. 

Come be held. Come be seen. Come be transformed through movement, play, and the magic of the feminine in its full, inspired expression.
