Temple of Eden: The Pleasure Portal (Half Day Retreat & Season Finale)
Details
Imagine stepping into a divine feminine experience—a stunning, female-owned home venue transformed into an immersive, tantra-inspired Temple. Created by women, for women, trans women, and non-binary femme bodies to gather, explore, learn, dance, connect, and play.
On May 30th, the Temple of Eden opens once more for our final experience of the season. Step into a space where desires, exploration, growth, kink, and music become a portal of sisterhood, joy, connection, and authenticity. Expect four expansive floors, multiple rooms, choose-your-own adventure activations, demos, dancing, nourishing treats, and spontaneous adventures unfolding throughout the night. We'll have designated cuddle spaces, a large play room with a dance pole, outdoor space with a fire pit, a dance studio + temple room featuring ecstatic dance by DJ Electrocute, and more TBA!
This experience expands on our previous temples, diving deeper into the practices you’ve been asking for, with more intentional curation, more rooms to explore, and more time for free play.
