Tantric Connections Temple Night w/Monique Darling & Peter Petersen

We all want to play. And the most nourishing play happens when all parts of us are included, when we feel safe, welcomed, and happy.

We all want to play. And the most nourishing play happens when all parts of us are included, when we feel safe, welcomed, and genuinely happy to be there.

Safety is the foundation for authentic expression, joy, pleasure, and connection. Imagine being listened to, touched, or attuned to in ways that truly meet your needs, creating more space for creativity, vitality, and adventure.

We begin the evening with a guided ritual to establish safety, connection, and shared agreements. From there, we explore authentic flow and the intersection of healing and erotic energy.

As the container settles, the space opens into free play, an opportunity to explore, integrate, and workshop what feels most supportive and fun for you.

This is an invitation to ask for what you want and need in a loving, pressure-free environment, alongside others committed to shared presence, consent, and care. Together, we co-create a co-regulating, playful, and nourishing space to explore, delight, and connect.

This Temple Party begins with a gentle introduction to Tantra, followed by connection-based icebreakers.

What does “temple party” mean? Simply this: it is whatever it means to you. Basically, it is an adult play space, that is like a choose your own adventure, and you get to do whatever you want as long as you adhere to the guidelines of the agreements.

Participation comes in many forms. Voyeurs are just as welcome as active participants. This is a sensual, playful space where exploration is encouraged—always with consent, respect, and joy. There is no pressure to do anything at any time.

This gathering is for you if:

You communicate clearly and respect boundaries

You’re willing to explore your wants, needs, and edges with care

You treat yourself and others with kindness and integrity

And if you’re thinking, “I’d love to come, but I don’t want to play”—please come. Relax. Watch. Connect. Leave whenever you wish.

All genders, bodies, and orientations are welcome. We especially welcome trans, intersex, queer, and gender-diverse folks, and we actively work to challenge heteronormative dynamics through our words and actions.

Come relax. Come connect. Come play. Come witness. Come as you are.
