What to Expect

Join us for an enchanting evening of sacred sensuality, connection, and transformation as we celebrate the mythic union of Eros (Cupid) and Psyche—a timeless tale of love, consciousness, and the integration of shadow and light. This immersive ceremonial event is inspired by the ascension of divine love into human consciousness.

Eros represents the primordial energy of the universe—life force, vitality, and creative power. Psyche, whose name means "soul" in Greek, symbolizes human consciousness, with all its beauty and complexity. Their myth is a powerful metaphor for the union of divine love and the human soul, a journey through shadow and light to wholeness.

Step into a sacred space designed to awaken your senses, open your heart, and guide you on a journey of self-discovery and connection. This evening will blend elements of Tantra, Somatic Healing, Shadow work, and Sacred SexuaIity to create a container for profound exploration and pIeasure.

Journey with us as we awaken to the deepest parts of ourselves, awaken our desires and embody pIeasure as is our birthright!

Through ceremony, performance, and guided practices, we will explore:

• Cacao Ceremony: Open your heart with this sacred ritual.
• Cupid and Psyche’s Journey: Witness the myth come alive in a storytelling performance; discover how their story mirrors the soul’s journey of love, shadow work, and awakening.
• Sacred Rituals: Participate in rituals that honor the themes of Imbolc—a time of renewal and planting seeds of intention—as well as the transformative power of divine love and human consciousness.
• Embodied Practices: Engage in guided Tantric exercises to awaken life force energy (Eros) and deepen your connection to self and others.
• Sensory Awakening: Immerse in sound healing, movement, and interactive experiences.
• Spaces for All Comfort Levels: Whether you're new to sacred practices or an experienced practitioner, our curated spaces ensure comfort for everyone.
• Opt in and open party time: To ensure comfort of all, every experience offered is optional and no pressure to participate. We have open party time after the opening circle for you to enjoy at your own pace.
