The Goddess has been known by many names: The Queen of Heaven and Earth, Inanna, Ishtar, Isis, Venus, in many traditions the goddess was of both love and war—an erotic paradox of tenderness and ferocity. Through her sacred sexuality, she brought fertility to the land and ecstasy to the spirit.

The Goddess is the throbbing pulse of nature—untamed, fertile, and endlessly regenerative. Just as the earth blooms after the death of winter, the Goddess embodies the cycle of creation, destruction, and rebirth. The dark femininity of the earth.

To embody the Goddess is to surrender to nature’s rhythms—to feel desire rise and fall like the tides, to open to the wisdom of the body, and to release the shame that separates you from pleasure. She reminds us that sexuality is not separate from spirituality—it is the gateway to it.

Step into the sacred temple of Inanna the oldest known incarnation of the Goddess. In her temple, sexual energy is a gateway to healing, ecstasy, and divine transformation.

Temple Night NYC invites you to reclaim the ancient rites of sacred sexuality, where pleasure is worship, and vulnerability is power.

This Temple Night is an invitation to reclaim your sacred nature—to touch the divine through the body, to awaken the wild and the holy within you. Let pleasure become your prayer. Let desire become your offering.

🌹 Who Is This For?

Our Tantric Temple Ceremony is more than an event; it’s a movement to create a world where love, joy, and connection flourish. Through the blending of ancient practices, modern insights, and safer, intentional spaces, we aim to foster personal growth, healing, and community.

Temple Night NYC welcomes individuals and couples of all genders, sexualities, and relationship styles. Whether you are experienced in sacred sexuality or exploring for the first time, you are invited to step into a space of healing and exploration. This event is ages 21+

🕊️ Consent & Safety:

This is a trauma-informed space where consent and boundaries are sacred. All touch and connection are by invitation only—no one will ever be pressured to participate in any activity. Temple Night is about stepping into your authentic erotic expression while honoring your personal boundaries and the boundaries of others.

Please Note: All activities are consent based and optional. Feel free to participate in what feels comfortable and aligned with your personal desires. We encourage everyone to have an open mind in that this is an experience that welcomes all to explore and try new things within a safer, curated space. We will review community agreements and expectations for behavior to ensure the safest possible space for exploration. We will also review the dynamics of how to engage at our event during our opening circle.

Trigger Warning: We do our best to create a safer space through a trauma-informed lens, however due to the nature of shadow work; difficult feelings may arise during our meditations and playshops. Our trauma-informed guides and staff guardians are here to hold space with care and sensitivity. We ask that you join us in co-creating a brave space—one where we each take responsibility for managing our triggers and regulating our nervous systems. For those who may feel overstimulated, we offer a Low Stimulation Room as a place to ground and center. Additionally, neutral social spaces are available outside the ceremony should you wish to step away and reconnect at your own pace.

Community Integration Call: Join us on Zoom in the week following the event, a sacred space to reflect, share, and connect after your transformative experience at Tantric Temple Night NYC. 🌟 This call offers an opportunity to process what came up for you, gain insights from others, and integrate the healing, pleasure, and growth into your everyday life. Whether you want to share your journey, ask questions, or simply listen and hold space, this call is a chance to deepen the connection to yourself and the community. Let’s come together to nurture the seeds of love and expansion we planted during the event. Ticket holders will receive an email with integration call details after the event. 💫
