The Warriors Return
This temple is an offering for you, dear men.
But this is not simply another men's circle where you embody your inner-warrior. Instead, this is an opportunity for the warrior to experience a sacred homecoming. This temple is an invitation to be met on the battlefield, in the chaos, emotion, and pain, by the feminine who will not shy away. In fact, she stays present and fiercely loving. She offers her sweet nectar when you are done fighting to allow you to relax into the soft featherbed of her being, exactly as you are. Gifting you a break from needing to "keep it together". This is your chance to drop the pretend, the fear, and be welcomed home.
She is not your saviour. She does not rob you from your battle, but rather meets you there, when you are ready, with her deep devotion.
We feel you dear men, in the invisible battles that you fight, often with no end in sight. The weight of expectation, the unspoken responsibilities, the pressure to show up as a "man"- denying your emotions and compromising your truth. The fear of failure and rejection. The war between who you are and who the world demands you to be. The silent suffering, depression, the unexpressed anger, the wounds carried alone.
You are so strong. However, no warrior cannot fight forever without rest, without healing, without a place to lay down his sword. To rebuild energy and to be reminded that you are not fighting alone.
During the first part of the temple, you will be guided into battle with your brothers, but this is NOT a battle between brothers (there is no fighting each other). This is your own personal, inner battle that you will each face through your own unique process. You will collectively enter the emotional battlefield through shamanic drumming, primal expression, chaotic breathing, and emotional release. This is your chance to start loosening the grip on everything you've been holding back and holding in, because ultimately it's been holding you captive.
For so long you have needed to 'swallow it' and keep on going, but now is the time to do whatever you need to do to finally let it all out. Time to stop performing, stop 'holding it together', playing "nice" and truly allow what is there on the inside, screaming to be felt. This is your time to break down so that you can finally break free.
And it's there, in that place, that you will be met by the Valkyries- the temple priestess ready to nurture you back home-- home to yourself, to your wholeness, to the peace beyond the battlefield through her loving presence.
This is a collective reprogramming; an honoring of the sacred masculine that is anchored in the ability to express the full-spectrum of his emotions and be fully received and respected by the feminine. In this way, the priestesses will connect with each man individually using sound, touch, movement, eye gazing, or whatever else she feels guided to give in support of this sacred homecoming. The intention is to soothe your nervous system, replenish your strength, and refill your cup. You are being loved and accepted just as you are, throughout the whole cycle.
We will then have a soft closing all together to anchor this journey and support the process of stepping back out into the world more empowered, liberated, and connected.
