Amorotica | Seattle's Temple Night | August

Join us for a monthly Temple Night to deepen in the erotic arts, cultivate embodied presence, and heal, awaken and restore vitality to our bodies and hearts and souls within community. The focus of these Temples will be to share in sacred space, allow our bodies, desires, and transpersonal love to guide us in cultivating embodied communal nourishment in a delicious, sensual and sacred atmosphere. We will offer guided intimacy experiences, priestess led ritual offerings, and lightly facilitated open play. We hold a prayer that this night will serve you to become more well resourced, skilled in communication and negotatation, well-loved and revitalized. The Temple of Sacred Arts has been serving Seattle's erotic and spiritual community since 2023, emmassing a community of over 2,000 members. We are honored to serve the Great Turning in this way, building a world in which we are all living in right relationship with our bodies, each other and the Earth -walking the Beauty Way, in service to Love and the Circle of Life.

Thank you. 🙏 Q: I am pretty uncomfortable with touch, nudity or have unprocessed sexual trauma. Is this a good space for me? A: This space is best for those who have a baseline of safety established within them. This temple is best for those who have already done work with embodiment, self-regulation and sexuality, and who are ready to deepen their growth in a communal setting. If you are wanting to lean into your edge of discomfort with touch or nudity and know you can hold your boundaries well enough, this is an excellent place to practice and grow! If you are dealing with sexual trauma landmines, we invite you to explore some other forms of somatic sexual trauma healing first before attending this temple. Our pracitioners offer this type of 1:1 support and also have a list of practitioners & trainings we can recommend to you. Reach out to witch-haazel@proton.me or mahina@thetempleofsacredarts.com 🙏 Q: If I am non-binary, trans, or gender non-conforming am I welcome and how should I register? A: Register under whichever gender/energetic (fem/masc) you are feeling most identified with right now. All beings of any identity and body configuration are welcome at this temple. We do not gender pair in this event, as we believe all bodies, and gender pairings have medicine for each other. Q: I am a man, will I get paired with other men during this event? A: It is very possible. However we have the opportunity to work with a number of people throughout the night, that will likely be comprised of people ranging the spectrum of gender identity. We do not make special accomodations for homophobia, if that is something you are dealing with, you will be invited to practice exploring and exercising your boundaries in a way that is self-honoring and kind to your partner. This is about healing and caring touch in community, not about s.exual attraction or preferences. Sexual attraction is not necessary for the activities we will be guiding you in. You are encouraged to find a nourishing consensual exchanges with whomenever you are paired with. Q: Is it okay to smoke weed or come to the event with substances in my system? A: No, we have a strict, no-substance policy at our sacred events. We want everyone to be in a clear mind, with clear energy. All of your emotions are welcome, including anxiety.
