Temple of Eden: Bound to Bloom (All Women, Femme & Them Temple Night)

As the days become colder and the nights grow long, we gather in the Temple to step into our power, pleasure, and playfulness. This immersive evening is an invitation to surrender, to feel, and to reclaim the depth of your authentic self — and a chance to replenish and refresh before the bustle of the holiday season.

Through a tantric and somatic lens, you’ll be experience fun connection games, meditative shibari practices (solo or with a partner), and opportunities for sweet and sensual exploration.

This is more than a party; this is an immersive temple experience - a journey into deeper connection with yourself, your body, and with the energy of other femmes. Whether you’re new to tantra, temple spaces, or shibari, you’re invited to explore in a brave space free from judgment, pretense, or the male gaze.
