Dark Eros: A Tantrik Temple of Grief & Longing w/ live dj set by Divana
Saturday 17 October - 18:00 - 22:30

Grief. Longing. Have you let yourself feel either fully... totally?
The ache of what this year has cost you, and the ache of what you still want, in the same body, at the same time.

Because longing is rarely about just one thing. It's grief for who you used to be, before the years asked so much of you. It's the ache to be met by something larger than yourself: call it God, call it the beloved, call it whatever still makes you ache when you say it out loud. It's homesickness for a belonging you can't quite locate, not a place, not a person, just the parts of yourself that got left behind somewhere along the way. Time takes things. Nobody warns you how much, or how quietly.

We gather, as humans have always gathered, in ritual, in candlelight, in honest embodied presence, to let both move through us instead of around us.

Dark Eros is a tantrik temple night: a sacred, raw, tender playground for connection, ritual, eros, and the relief of finally not holding it together.

Beginner-friendly. Deepening for experienced temple-goers. Held with clarity, care, and devotion.


🌟 WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

Most conscious events give you spirituality or eros. Rarely both. Fewer still make room for grief.

This space holds all three. Sacred and alive. Devotional and raw. Deep and free. It is a living temple. And it changes people.

People who come once come back. Something shifted, and shallow evenings do not satisfy anymore.


🔥 THE DARK EROS TEMPLE

A living temple of grief and longing:
- Low candlelight and drums, a room built for descent
- Quiet corners for grief that doesn't need witnesses, and open ones for grief that does
- Altars devoted to what's been lost and what's still wanted
- A ritual arc — primal release, then eye-gazing and transfiguration, seeing another past the mask
- Free-flow temple space to land wherever the night has opened in you

Temple. Tribe. Ritual. Truth.

Raw, but grounded. Erotic, but real. Grief-soaked, but alive.


🌀 THE FIELD WE CREATE

We open with a tantrik ritual: body-based, accessible, gently activating. A shamanic-tantrik descent that coaxes the mask off, slowly, honestly.

From there, the space opens into free-flow temple. You choose your pace. You choose your depth. You choose how your body wants to move through the temple.


🕯️ WHY WE GATHER

Grief and longing rise when the conditions are right. A room where you don't have to explain either. A field where you can be honest, tender, erotic, and real.

Because many of us long for spaces that are:
- Honest about grief without turning it into a performance
- Erotic without pressure
- Intimate without collapse
- Sacred, expansive, and grounded

Temple is where eros, grief, spirit, and humanity meet. Fully. Totally.


🤍 CONSENT, BOUNDARIES, NERVOUS SYSTEM CARE

This space is held with integrity and care. Trauma-aware. Choice-led. Touch-optional. Inclusive. Clear boundaries create real freedom.


🔥 WHAT THE NIGHT INCLUDES

- Opening ritual and shamanic ceremonial field
- Guided descent, catharsis, and release work
- Eye-gazing and transfiguration practice
- Partner and group exercises rooted in presence and consent
- Free-flow temple
- Beautiful surprises

Open to all: beginners exploring tantrik temples for the first time, to those wanting to deepen. Singles, couples, constellations. You are all deeply welcome.

✨ BEFORE THE TEMPLE: THE WORKSHOP

For those who want to arrive truly ready, The Art of Embodied Connection™ - The Unmasking opens the same afternoon.

A two-hour workshop in tantra, authentic relating and embodied community. You land in the body, meet people with genuine presence, and walk into the Temple already open, already seen.

Workshop: 14:30 - 16:30


💛 THIS IS FOR YOU IF...

- You long for depth, presence and genuine human connection
- You are carrying something this year hasn't given you room to feel
- You are curious about tantra and want a safe, guided, beautiful first experience
- You are experienced and want to go deeper
- You have been to sex-positive events and felt something spiritual was missing
- You want to feel free to be yourself without shame, guilt or conditioning
- You are coming as a couple and want to touch something real together


🙏 AND IF YOU ARE WONDERING...

"Is this a sex event?"
No. This is a sacred conscious space. Eros is present and honoured.

"What if I feel nervous?"
Good. That feeling means something in you knows this is real. The nervous system settles in the first twenty minutes.

"Is this for beginners, or for those who already know their way around?"
Both. Always both.
Some of you will walk through this door with zero prior experience, nothing but curiosity and maybe a flutter of nerves, and that is enough. That is exactly enough. You are fully welcome exactly as you are.
Others of you have already tasted parts of this path, and you're not here for an introduction. You're here to go deeper, to shed another layer, to meet a rawer edge of yourself, to feel your body and your desire in a way you haven't yet let yourself feel.
Wherever you're starting from, what actually matters is one thing: your willingness to arrive.
The workshop before the Temple (14:30) is specifically for arriving open, grounded, and already connected to the people in the room.

"We are a couple. Is this for us?"
Yes. Couples come to go deeper, to feel something real between them again. The space holds solo people and couples equally.

"What if tantra is not for me?"
Tantra in this space is not what most people imagine. It is the practice of presence: in breath, in sensation, in contact. It is not explicit. It is the art of being fully here. Anyone with a body and a longing to connect is welcome in this room.

"How do I know I will feel safe?"
This space is trauma-aware and held by an experienced team of facilitators. Every exercise is an invitation. Your warm yes is the only thing that moves anything forward.

Wear comfortable clothes you can move in. No partner needed. Simply come as you are. 🌺
