Prepare to enter a sacred space that will transport you back to the Pleasure Temples of Isis, Inanna, Rhiannon, Venus, Laksmi, Aphrodite, Ishtar, Freya, Oshun, Elena, Eve, Lilith, and lover Goddesses from all over the world whose names have been lost in this world but whose energy is felt in our blood and bones. 💫 Many moons ago, Pleasure Priestesses danced ceremonially in temples, embodying and transmitting the energy of the Goddess. All who entered these sacred spaces connected with divine energy through the priestesses and left wholly transformed and reconnected to their own inner divinity. ✨Pleasure temples were places of profound healing, expansion, ecstasy, and connection, where every soul could experience the depth of sacred sexuality. '

In this immersive workshop, Emily Barry, Priestess of the Stars & Priestess of the River Valley in the Avalon tradition, will create a modern-day Pleasure Temple. On this auspicious night, as Venus and the Moon unite and the Equinox tilts the world toward new light, this gathering invites you into embodied sovereignty, sacred reclamation, and divine harmony.

Together, we will honor this sacred turning point as the earth awakens to new life. As nature begins to bloom, we will ceremonially strip to create space for what is ready to emerge, expand, and grow within us. We will celebrate the union of Venus and the Moon, reconnecting with our sensuality, emotions, and inner fire, while embracing the balance of Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine within. Through dance and embodied ritual, we will move across this sacred threshold, unraveling to reveal our power, aliveness, and wholeness.

This experience weaves together ritual, inner connection, embodiment, breathwork, movement, and sensual floorwork. You will be guided through sensual floorwork and then invited into spacious exploration, allowing your body to move, release, create, and express freely. We will shed what no longer serves us (literally and figuratively). We will celebrate our bodies as our most sacred temple. We will leave wholly transformed and liberated.

Dress the part by adorning your whole being with clothing and/or lingerie that allows you to feel empowered and euphoric. Spritz yourself with your most tantalizing scent. Drape yourself in crystal jewelry. Wear your most expressive makeup. Wear or bring any item that allows you to fully express yourself.

Prepare to unravel.

Prepare to reclaim.

Prepare to leave wholly transformed.
