A deeper immersion into Temple practice.

This April we open a more intimate container: a 3-day Temple retreat for people who already have experience with Temple spaces and want to explore the work on a deeper level. This is not an introduction, it is a next step.

For three days we will slow down, drop deeper into our bodies, and explore the subtleties of presence, intimacy, eros, and authentic relating inside a carefully held Temple field.

We gather not only for a workshop, but for a shared living experience.

What this retreat is about

Temple is a practice space where we explore:

 

• presence in the body
• conscious intimacy and relating
• emotional honesty
• boundaries and authentic desire
• Eros as life force
• connection with self and others

 

Over the weekend we will move through different Temple rituals, somatic practices, sharing circles, and connection explorations. Each day will open and close in a shared container, allowing the group field to deepen organically over time. Because we stay together for the whole weekend, something very different becomes possible – a continuity of presence that cannot happen in a single-day workshop.

The Experience

During the retreat we will:

 

• participate in Temple rituals and practices across all three days
• explore embodiment, intimacy and relational awareness
• share circles and integration spaces
• co-create the atmosphere of the retreat together

 

Between the sessions there will be space for:

 

• rest and integration
• nature time
• sauna sessions
• swimming in a natural pool
• informal connection

 

We will also cook and share meals together, making retreat a co-created experience rather than a service we consume. This creates a beautiful sense of community, grounding and simplicity.

The Location

The retreat will take place in a peaceful retreat center surrounded by nature in Apače, Slovenia.

The space offers:

 

• cozy shared accommodation
•  sauna
• natural pool for cold immersion
• communal spaces for gathering and practice
• kitchen for shared cooking

 

The environment supports both depth and softness – allowing the nervous system to settle and open.

Who this retreat is for?

This retreat is not for complete beginners. To join, you should already have some experience with Temple spaces or similar conscious intimacy practices. Because of the advanced nature of the work, we are creating a group where participants already understand:

 

• consent culture
• personal boundaries
• presence in relational spaces
• responsibility for their own experience

 

This allows us to go deeper, faster, and with more trust in the field.
