Don't hide your heart but reveal it,
So that I may know mine too
And know what I am capable of - Rumi

 

The Adoration temples' format will be as follows:

  • Receivers gorgeously greeted, and divinely welcomed
  • Givers profoundly gather in their own circle to bond, as well as to structure support for one another in being of service.
  • Receivers ecstatically gather in their own circle, to create safety & support in the art of receiving
  • Both givers and receivers reverently circle together to share sacred intentions, desires,  and boundaries
  •  Temple services enthusiastically begin:  Divine Giving & Receiving. (The giving & receiving "menu" is based on the "5 Love Languages" of Dr. Gary Chapman)
  • All gather in a closing circle for gratitude & appreciations
  • Soul Dancing and celebratory cleanup party!

From Trauma to Triumph: Adoration for Survivors (Emotional, Physical, and/or Sexual Trauma) Training & Temple (Both Receivers & Givers: Male and/or Female)

For 8 years, I was the Patient Publications Coordinator at Kaiser Permanente, meeting with physicians & nurses to design & implement patient information.

While there I learned that 40% of us are raised in families (or environmentswith severe Emotional (shaming, blaming, denigrating, neglect), Physical (hitting, some forms of spanking, slapping, beating, deprivation, neglect), and/or Sexual Abuse (being coerced, forced, manipulated or persuaded to see, receive or give sexuality not in alignment with one's authentic nature) or Trauma

I also discovered that 96% of us were raised in families (or environments) that were Dysfunctional to some degree. (Dysfunctional: Missing Functions. For instance, if a family suppressed or denied anger, sadness, authenticity, boundaries, fear, praise, or affection, as adults we would be missing those functions.)

Concerned about these statistics, I began training & education on trauma, abuse, compulsive behaviors, & recovery. 

It is an honor to bring to our Sex Positive communities a tender (non-sexual) opportunity to heal from trauma. This Temple will support consciousness, integration, compassion, & healing. 

In this Temple both givers & receivers will receive a full day of training. 

Whether you are someone who suffers from childhood (or adult trauma) OR are a therapist, massage therapist, energy healer, educator, or Tantric practioner, you will find information & practicum that is of value. 


In this Temple you will:

  • Come to terms with the past and work constructively towards the future. 
  • Learn the effects of abuse & trauma.
  • Clarify trauma responses
  • Discover the stages survivors pass through
  • Practice dealing with self-defeating behaviors and building self-esteem
  • Practice listening to the truth & wisdom of the body & emotions

Both men & women will engage in a day long training PLUS an evening Temple on:

  • Giving Or Receiving without overgiving nor building resentment.
  • Gaining clarity on communicating as well as receiving limits & boundaries
  • Flowing in authentic heart centered intimacy without getting carried away.
  • Hearing beneath the words.
  • Developing healthy, equitable relating. 
  • Being a Priestess of Love and/or Daka of Love
  • Relating with equal compassion to both men & women. 

If you desiring to be a healer of heart, body, mind & spirit for both men and women OR desire to receive and engage in healing from trauma with both men & women, you will love the Sacred Survivor Training and The  Adoration Temple for Survivors (Healing the World One Adoration at a Time).

Each Eros Temple has two parts: a one-day advance training where you prepare for the temple, and the temple itself, which is on a different day.

Eros Temple one-day training
All Eros Temple participants do a full-day advance training before each temple for learning and building skill sets together.

What you will learn and experience:

  • Gathering and setting up sacred space together
  • Gathering in a circle and stating our desires, fears, and boundaries
  • Each participant will get a menu of adoration options, appropriate to each temple, to map out your desires and wishes
  • Couples and singles get to decide their style of participation:

If you choose “free floating,” you will be with a new partner every 30 minutes.

If you choose “deep diving,” you will stay with the same partner for the duration of the temple. (Those who want a bit of both can certainly do that as the setting allows.)
