DC Panthers Play House Ecstatic Dance Temple Party w/ Zen, Major, Monique,

Bring your inner-kitty, cat ears & cat claws, and leopard print to play!

Get ready to immerse yourself into a tantalizing night of primal, sensually-charged play at our cats-themed Ecstatic Dance Temple Conscious PlayParty.

Co-led by 4 amazing Tantrika's Monique, Lea, Major, and Zen.

Bring your inner-kitty, cat ears & cat claws, and leopard print to play! We’re talking about a stimulating, sensual night where you drop into a liminal group-touch and dance space where we explore consent, arousal-heightening, and erotic movement in a group and solo dynamic.

We kick off with some group games to bond/sync the group-field, shaking off the ordinary and tuning into ourselves, as part of a whole, for a night of extraordinary touch-connection. Next up, a straightforward, no-nonsense chat about consent, safety, and empowerment on the dance floor – because feeling safe & sexy is key to letting your wild side loose. Then, hold onto your spots, because after you will be released into the Wild for Freeplay.

This is your chance to let loose, dive deep into those juicy connections, and spend quality time with other kitties who came to play, dance, and nuzzle the night away. It’s more than just moving to the beat; it’s about unlocking a part of you that’s been waiting to be experience this liminal, inclusive, body-indiscriminate space. Don’t just show up, show up and show out in your wildest kitty embodiment, and let’s make this a night to tell stories about for years to come!

What does “temple party” mean?

In short, it is whatever it means to you. We attach the word ‘sacred’ to any practice, experience, or way-of-being that slows us down and deepens our experience of being alive.

Our sensuality/eros are a manifestation and expression-of our vital life-force and creative energy. It can play, move, and be shared and enjoyed in many ways. You are invited to co-create whatever feeds your soul.

Participation with a capital “P” can mean many things and voyeurs are as warmly welcomed as the most actively engaged. It’s a sensual space where participants are encouraged to explore themselves and others in ways that are stimulating, nurturing, exciting, safe and FUN!

This is the party you want to come to if you’ve never been AND this is the party you want to come to if you want to experience how to take generating safe play space for you and your loved ones to the next level.
