Adoration Temples:
-
Do you long to be tenderly seen, felt, and heard?
- Do you desire to safely expand your capacity to know, & to request what you want?
- Are you curious to discover a world of intimacy & healing that builds bridges of compassion?
- Do you sense that there is more to uncover about the mysteries of Giving & Receiving beyond the sexual?
Then you will adore the Adoration Temples!
The Integrative Arts institute is proud to announce the Adoration Temples series, the heartbeat of our work in building bridges of compassion. (The series may be taken individually, or deepen upon one another in ongoing practicums.)
Types of Adoration Temples
In this innovative series, sexuality (genital touching, intercourse, oral sex) is honored, but not on the menu.
The focus is on Sacred Intimacy through building bridges of compassion and understanding between the genders, within the genders, and inside the Self.
The Temples are designed to be a safe container for both the receiver and the giver.
The givers receive a full day of training before each Temple weekend. This training is cumulative, yet never the same twice (tailor-made for each group that is the focus of the adoration for that day).
Adoration Temple Testimonials:
Dear Heart~
Francesca Gentille is an amazing soul with whom I have traveled sacred paths for many years. Tahil Gesyuk, her beloved, is well-matched with her in holding sacred space and bringing deeply needed teaching into the world, especially about sacred sexuality. I highly recommend both Francesca and Tahil as teachers, soul guides, and healing presences. I attended the very first Women's Temple of Adoration and plan to attend the Women's Temple this month and the Men's Temple next month.
As you read the words of their Temple Invitation below, I invite you to ask yourself: is my soul stirred? If the answer you become present to is yes, I encourage you to enter the Temple as adorer or adored.
Take care, and may you be honored for all that you are, darkness and light.
~Love and Blessings,
Selene~
Eros Temples
Eros Temple is set up as an adjunct Adoration Temples series to investigate your sacred erotic nature in a safe, nurturing environment. The focus is on staying grounded in intimacy, while keeping healthy boundaries with yourself and others.
Our sexual and spiritual histories forge our deepest foundation, the well we draw from when we feel vulnerable and confused. Investigating this in ourselves brings about great transformation and enriches our integrity.
Many cultures have developed intricate systems intertwining sexuality and spiritual insight. Our training touches on many of these systems and reveals their strengths and weaknesses, enabling you to navigate your way through the deep waters around sacred sexuality. We offer studies and practices that create fertile soil for your natural evolution, helping you discover -- and take hold of -- your passions and strengths.
Levels of Eros Temples
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.
Personal note from the director:
These temples are designed for a safe and sacred place for sacred intimates, erotic educators, and inquisitive couples/singles to gather in community grow, learn, and support one another.
There something for everyone here. The design is set up for you to participate as much or as little as you wish. The temples can be taken individually, or as a series that will be greater as a whole then its parts.
A safe and powerful container is set. The rest is up to your word-of-mouth, and the people you bring to enjoy happy joyful loving in your love play.

Eros Temple Testimonials:
The Eros temple helped me to remember the power of my own sexuality. It exists at all times even if I have chosen to ignore it and deny it. Since the temple I have been aware of the effects I have on others. I am now seeing attractive men all over the place and recognizing a sensual side I hadn't seen before.
With the Eros training I explored my personal sexual contracts--looking deeper into that which sculpted my feeling towards eroticism in the very beginning... Because of our intimate and lovingly supportive group, we were able to connect in a myriad of ways, while giving homage to the underlying erotic nature of who we are! It was intense, funloving, vibrant, and sexy...

Living in bay area, I have gone to many sexual play parties, and many sensual intimate cuddle parties. But never have I gone to a party/event which has had intimacy AND sexual play both available after an extensive and powerful full day of training. The initiation Eros Temple I attended was the first of such rich, powerful, delicious, heart opening, spine jolting events. It was such a powerful turn on which was based on deep connected juicy intimate encounters. We did amazing, fun, lovely structured exercises which deepened and enriched our fabulous and delicious experiences
Hamid
I have been a participant in most of the Temples to date. In each one, I have found something powerful and unique. Sometimes they are a challenge to my wounded self, other times they have been a blessing to my divine feminine. Each one has been a treasure and I keep coming back. The last Temple was a Temple of Eros and the exercises that we did were both erotic and intimate. They brought unexpected responses both from my soul and my body. Would I recommend them ?-Absolutely. My life is richer and the possibilities have expanded for both pleasure and spirit. My boundaries were honored and my requests were granted in all of the Temples. I dropped into my body a little more with each Temple and I was able to make deeper and deeper connections of soul and spirit. It was a true pleasure to be seen, acknowledged, appreciated and touched.
