Expand

A Temple Experience

03.04.2026

 

Sometimes, we feel we can’t explore further within the containers we are familiar with. We have explored Temples, many, and somehow have found ourselves moving on, not finding the depth we need to continue our Journey within ourselves.

Expand is an advanced temple experience for those who wish to go deeper. In this container, we are surrounded by beings who have done profound self-work, and know there is always more to uncover. From this shared recognition, we begin in trust, safety, belonging and love. From there, we journey even deeper, meeting our shadows, our edges, the hidden corners of our being. And when we arrive there, we Expand even further.

And within this exploration, we are surrounded by our Tribe, made of familiar and new faces, who  love, care and support us. If your wish is to continue your journey with beings who are as ready as you are to Expand, this Temple is for you.

Expand is for me because…

I dare to devote myself to sacredness and love. I am well-experienced with temples and conscious spaces, and, still, I want to explore more of who I am, without attachment of what should or should not be. I appreciate a Temple as a space to witness and learn about myself deeper. I am aware of my patterns, where they come from, and consciously step away from them. Yet, I am aware there is more to uncover. I want to face the parts I tend to hide away from. I am ready to explore more of my shadows. I desire to be unmasked, raw, pure. I want to listen to my soul’s whispers and follow their guidance, without hesitation. Expand is for me, as I desire to grow in community, meet my friends, my chosen family, which I recognize not only in the familiar faces, but also in the recognition of the common work we do within ourselves.

Expand is NOT for me because…

I have never joined temples before, or only a few. I have a lot of curiosity to satisfy about what can happen there. I believe temples are sεx-positive spaces, created primarily for εrotic and sεxual interactions. If I do not make such connections at a Temple, I feel my experience was not a success. I take a No as a personal rejection of my being. I seek validation and approval in connections. When I feel attracted by someone, I tend to default into a hunting or prey role. I understand the principles of consent and I know that there is much more to learn. I have not implemented these principles into my daily life yet. I depend on teachers to learn. I tend to obey and conform; I follow. I am consciously or unconsciously enjoying power dynamics. I am aware of some of my patterns in relating, and I want to fix them, but don’t know how. I want to be supported, but I’m not clear yet what could support me. Expand is not for me, as I don’t know how my participation could support my personal growth.

Belonging

I am here. As all living beings, I, too, am significant. I matter. Here I belong. Here I grow.

I am accepted as I am, with all my parts. In this tribe, I belong. I can let go of my strategies, to hunt, to seduce, to take or to give. None of those are needed, as I belong.

From this common fertile ground of Love, I feel safe to drop into the Depths within me, not as a point to reach, but as a starting point, and trust I will be supported, seen, and celebrated.

Sovereignty

I am here in my integrity, my ambivalence, my choice. I embody my divine power to transform, within and without. I carry my Truth in my heart, I own my words and actions, and come into my creative power.

In this self-sufficient state of being, I engage with courage. I welcome joy, friction and vulnerability as portals to true intimacy which transcends me, expands me.

Unity

I am here. I now drop. I tap into the collective current of life. I feel everyone around me merging into a flow, and slowly surrender my sense of Self. Here, there is no form, no road, no achievement, just pure presence.

In unity, Mystery arises.

Guidelines

  • Be punctual. Arrive at the venue early enough to prepare, change and be ready at the start of the event.
  • Take responsibility for your safety and health. Do only things that you want.
  • If a particular activity does not feel right for you, you are welcome to take a mindful observer role. We have a space dedicated for self care where you won’t be disturbed. There, you can hold space for others with your presence. If you need further assistance, you can reach out to a host at any time.
  • Say No or take a break if you feel overwhelmed. It’s ok to not want something. It’s ok to be undecided. It’s ok to change your mind. No is never a wrong choice.
  • Give others the freedom to say No and be thankful when you hear it. This is a sign of mutual trust and respect.
  • Respect gender and orientation diversity. If you are unsure how to refer to a person, ask them.
  • Feel into your heart and be compassionate towards others’ choices.
  • Please be sober. Do not consume mind-altering substances before or during our experiences.
  • Come to the experience showered and clean.

For Experienced beings

Please make sure to read carefully the section above “Expand is for me” and “Expand is NOT for me”. The intention for Expand is to further the self-development of beings who have gone through a thorough and expansive range of experiences to discover and explore themselves. Beings who have joined countless temples and other profound experiences to reach a level of maturity in their self-growth.

For this reason, we ask you to answer several questions during the registration process to determine if you are ready. We use our own imperfect perception and sensitivity to determine this. If you are not approved, please do not take it personally. We are all on our journey of self-exploration and maybe a different experience is, for now, better suited for you.

On gender balance

In our temples, we do not limit nor balance the representation of gender among our participants. We allow natural unfolding of the group participants. Every event might have a different gender ratio and different energy ratio (masculine, feminine, and neutral). We embrace all gender identities and body configurations.

Note: we do not provide information on the registered participants of our events, including their gender.

On nudity & sεxuality

Within our Temples, nudity and sεxual practices are allowed without restriction, as long as it is among fully consensual beings. Regardless of that, nudity and sεxual acts, are never an obligation.
