Temple of Eden: Autumn Awakening (Femme Temple & Play Party near DC)

Step into Temple of Eden: Autumn Awakening for an evening of community, connection, curiosity, and relational exploration. In this chapter, we're exploring what becomes possible when we step outside the traditional relationship scripts and learn how to navigate more connection with greater communication, attunement, and ease.

We'll begin with guided connection games and embodied practices designed to help you connect with yourself first, then expand into connection with another person and eventually larger group dynamics all negotiated with boundaries and consent. Through playful, intentional experiences, you'll practice asking for what you want, communicating boundaries, navigating multiple desires and needs, and staying attuned as the relational field expands.

Whether you're single, partnered, queer, straight, or simply curious about exploring connections outside the standard relationship script, Autumn Awakening is an invitation to get practice about what else might be possible.

To cultivate a safe and nourishing environment, this is a vetted event. All guests must complete a brief application before purchasing a ticket. Submit an application HERE.

After our facilitated opening, the Temple opens into hours of sweet-to-spicy free play, dancing, cuddling, connection, and spontaneous exploration across three expansive floors and outdoor space - including curated spaces for quiet cuddles, dancing, snacks, and optional play all rooted in sovereignty and choice. Follow your curiosity, honor your boundaries, choose your own adventure and create the experience that feels right for you.

This is your invitation to awaken your capacity for connection - not just with others, but with yourself.

This is judgment-free, femme-only, consent-centered, and brave space where you can explore, communicate, play, and be fully yourself.

This space is for you if:

• You are a women (cis or trans) or a non-binary female bodied person

• You’re curious about stepping outside traditional relationship scripts

• Exploring ethical non-monogamy or alternative relationship structures

THE TEMPLE

Come with your desires, your boundaries, your curiosity, and your whole self.

You are never expected to participate in anything.

A yes to one experience is never a yes to another.
A no is always welcome. And changing your mind is always allowed.

Your only job is to stay connected to yourself while discovering what becomes possible when you connect with others.

Come curious. Come communicative. Come awakened.

Welcome to Autumn Awakening.
