This evening is an invitation to gently reclaim the power, aliveness, and freedom that live inside your taboos.
When was the last time you did something for the first time?
What feels taboo to you?
What desires live just beneath the surface?
What do you hesitate to ask for because of what you fear it might mean or how you might be seen?
This evening is an invitation to gently reclaim the power, aliveness, and freedom that live inside your taboos.
Join Reid and Monique for a very special Play / Temple Party devoted to exploring, unmasking, and normalizing the desires so many of us quietly carry.
Come with curiosity.
Come with tenderness for yourself.
Come willing to listen to the secrets of your own heart.
This is a space to release the energies that hold you back from experiencing deeper connection, pleasure, and joy. A space to explore how honoring your desires, rather than suppressing them, can bring more vitality into your life.
What Is a Temple Party?
In short: it’s whatever it means to you.
We use the word temple to describe experiences that slow us down and deepen our sense of being alive. Spaces where presence matters more than performance. Where choice is honored. Where reverence and play coexist.
Our sensuality is an expression of our life force and creative energy. It can move, play, connect, and be shared in many ways. You are invited to co-create what feels nourishing for your body, heart, and spirit.
Participation with a capital “P” looks different for everyone.
Watching is welcome.
Playing is optional.
Resting, observing, connecting, or simply being are all valid forms of participation.
This is a pressure-free environment designed to be stimulating, nurturing, exciting, safe, and fun.
If you’ve never been to a space like this before, this is a beautiful place to begin.
If you’re experienced, this is a chance to explore what it feels like to create truly intentional, well-held play together.
Who This Space Is For
You’re someone who values consent, communication, and kindness.
You’re willing to use your words, respect boundaries, and care for yourself and others.
You might already know your desires clearly, or you might be curious and still discovering them. Both are welcome here.
If you’re reading this thinking, “I’d love to come, but I don’t want to play” please come anyway. There is no expectation to engage in any activity. You are always free to observe, connect, or leave whenever you wish.
Our biggest request is that you arrive with a warm, open-hearted, playful, non-judgmental attitude, and that you conduct yourself with integrity and care.
What to Expect
This will be a relaxed, playful, and intentionally held evening.
Come relax.
Come connect.
Come explore.
Come watch.
Come play—if and when it feels right for you.
All genders, bodies, and orientations are welcome. We especially welcome trans, queer, and gender-diverse folks, and we actively work to challenge heteronormative assumptions through our words and actions.
Timing
Doors open at 7:30 PM and close promptly at 8:00 PM.
Please arrive on time, as the opening circle is essential for creating safety and shared agreements. No late entry will be permitted.
The evening will close around midnight.
If an unavoidable delay arises, please text Monique at 619-601-8852.
What to Bring
Bring anything that supports your comfort and curiosity.
• Snacks or drinks for yourself
• Comfortable clothing or lounge wear
• Any personal items or toys you enjoy sharing selectively
• Protection or supplies that help you feel safe
• A playful spirit and an open heart
Please note: this is a sober space. We ask that no drugs or alcohol be brought so everyone can stay present and connected.
