Come explore what’s alive inside those deliciously taboo places, the ones you've kept tucked away, waiting for the right moment to bloom.

Unleash the Power of Your Taboos

IE Taboo Temple Party

A Sacred, Sensual Temple Party with Monique Darling & Peter Petersen

Co-Create. Explore. Be Seen. Be Free.

Come with your desire to unmask the secrets of your heart.

Come ready to release the energies that keep you from love, connection, and fully felt pleasure.

Come explore what’s alive inside those deliciously taboo places, the ones you've kept tucked away, waiting for the right moment to bloom.

That moment is now.

What Is a Temple Party?

A Temple Party is a sensual, sacred playground for grown-ups.

It’s not a performance. It’s not a show.

It’s a space to come as you are—and explore how you want to feel.

We call it a “temple” because it’s a place of reverence.

For your body.

For your truth.

For the magic of saying YES—and the power of saying NO.

Your pleasure is sacred here.

Your curiosity is welcome.

Your stillness, your boldness, your softness—all welcome.

What Happens at This Party?

This is a sensual, clothing-optional space where connection happens through:

Play

Presence

Intention

Respect

You choose your level of participation. Whether you're a full-bodied YES or just want to witness and soak in the energy—you belong here.

Voyeurs are just as cherished as the most engaged participants.

We co-create a space where: You are never pressured Your boundaries are celebrated Your desires are honored Your NO is as sacred as your YES

This is a perfect party for first-timers and seasoned temple goers.

If you’re ready to take your play, presence, and co-creation to the next level—this is for you.

Who Is This For?

This is for you if:

You’re sensually and emotionally aware (or open to learning)

You respect boundaries and communicate with clarity and kindness

You’re generous with your presence, and curious about what's possible

You’re ready to play nicely, share energy, and tend to yourself and others with care

This will be a very chill, fun, playful event.

Come relax. Come smooch. Come play. Come watch.

All genders, bodies, and orientations welcome. Come as you are and have a great time!

We especially welcome trans, intersex, queer and other folks living anywhere within the spectrum – we recognize how hetero-normative spaces can be and aim to challenge this through our conversations and actions…

TIME

Doors open at 7:00 PM and CLOSE AT 7:30 PM. BE ON TIME as it is essential to have everyone present for the opening circle. There will not be anyone admitted after the doors are closed to preserve the safety of our space. The Welcome Circle is what we use to introduce ourselves to one another, craft meaningful conversations, share any boundaries and relationship agreements people should know about and get all comfy and ready to play. There will be a closing circle at midnight. PLEASE text Monique at 619 601 8852 if you’re unavoidably running late, but please just be on time!

WHAT TO BRING

Whatever food and drink you might want for the evening. No drugs or alcohol please. We like our attendees to be present and capable of connection. Bring whatever clothing you’d like to don and lounge in while we frolic or just throw on your regular weekend clothes for relaxation. Bring along whatever toys or accessories you feel comfortable sharing with select individuals and whatever protection makes you feel safe, whatever you might be needing to create that perfect evening. Oh, and of course, please bring a Playful attitude and an open heart and mind.

This is a space for all bodies, all genders, all orientations.

Especially welcoming to trans, non-binary, queer, and other often-marginalized identities.

We’re here to create something that feels delicious, safe, expansive, and liberating, for everyone.

From Monique:

This party isn’t about doing more.

It’s about being more fully you.

It’s about reclaiming pleasure without shame.

And I can’t wait to hold the space with you.

Come smooch. Come breathe. Come laugh. Come play.

Come as your sacred, sexy, messy, magical self.

Let’s unleash together.
