About this event
Dark Eros: A Tantrik Temple of Longing w/ live DJ set by Divana
Saturday 17 October · 18:00 - 22:30
Longing.
The want you've never said out loud.
The hunger underneath the good behaviour.
The pull toward something you can't name, only feel, low in the body, in the middle of an ordinary Tuesday.
Dark Eros gives that longing a room.
Raw. Strange. Devotional. Yours.
Longing is rarely about just one thing. It's the ache to be touched and truly met. The ache for something larger than yourself: call it God, call it the beloved, call it whatever still makes your breath catch when you say it out loud. The ache for the parts of you that got kept in the dark because they were too much, too hungry, too alive.
Longing always carries a little grief. Let it.
We gather, as humans always have, in ritual, in candlelight, in honest embodied presence, and let the longing move through us instead of around us.
Dark Eros is a tantrik temple night: a sacred, raw, tender playground for connection, ritual, eros, and the relief of finally not holding it together.
Beginner-friendly. Deepening for experienced temple-goers. Held with clarity, care, and devotion.
🌟 WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
Most conscious events give you spirituality or eros. Rarely both. Fewer still let you bring the parts of you that live in the dark.
This space holds all of it. Sacred and alive. Devotional and raw. Hungry and held. It's a living temple, and it changes people.
People who come once come back. Something shifted, and shallow evenings stop satisfying.
🔥 THE DARK EROS TEMPLE
Temple. Tribe. Ritual. Truth.
Raw, but grounded. Erotic and alive.
🌀 THE FIELD WE CREATE
We open with a tantrik ritual: body-based, accessible, slowly activating. A shamanic-tantrik descent into the body, where desire lives before it has words.
From there, the space opens into free-flow temple. You choose your pace. You choose your depth. You choose how your body wants to move through the night.
🕯️ WHY WE GATHER
Longing rises when the conditions are right. A room where you don't have to explain what you want. A field where you can be honest, hungry, tender, erotic, and real.
Because so many of us long for spaces that are:
- Honest about desire, including the parts you hide
- Erotic without pressure
- Intimate without collapse
- Sacred, expansive, and grounded
Temple is where eros, longing, spirit, and shadow meet. Fully. Totally.
🤍 CONSENT, BOUNDARIES, NERVOUS SYSTEM CARE
This space is held with integrity and care. Trauma-aware. Choice-led. Touch-optional. Inclusive. Clear boundaries create real freedom.
🔥 WHAT THE NIGHT INCLUDES
- Opening ritual and shamanic ceremonial field
- Guided descent, catharsis, and release work
- Partner and group exercises rooted in presence and consent
- Free-flow temple with a live DJ set by Divana
- Secret surprises ;)
Open to all: beginners stepping into a tantrik temple for the first time, and those ready to go deeper. Singles, couples, constellations. You are all deeply welcome.

✨ BEFORE THE TEMPLE: THE WORKSHOP
For those who want to arrive truly ready, The Art of Embodied Connection™: The Unmasking opens the same afternoon.
A two-hour workshop in tantra, authentic relating and embodied community. You land in the body, meet people with real presence, and walk into the Temple already open, already seen.
Workshop: 14:30 - 16:30
💛 THIS IS FOR YOU IF...
- You have a want you've never said out loud
- You long for depth, presence and real human connection
- You're curious about tantra and want a safe, guided, beautiful first experience
- You're experienced and want to go deeper
- You've been to s+ events and felt something spiritual was missing
- You want to be yourself without shame, guilt or conditioning
- You're coming as a couple and want to touch something real together
🙏 AND IF YOU'RE WONDERING...
"Is this a sex event?"
No. Eros is present and honoured, and nothing is explicit. This is a sacred, conscious space.
"What if I feel nervous?"
Good. That feeling means something in you knows this is real. The nervous system settles in the first twenty minutes.
"Is this for beginners, or for those who already know their way around?"
Both. Always both.
Some of you will walk through this door with zero experience, nothing but curiosity and a flutter of nerves, and that is enough. That is exactly enough.
Others have already tasted this path. You're here to shed another layer, to meet a rawer edge of yourself, to feel your body and your desire in a way you haven't yet let yourself feel.
Wherever you start from, one thing matters: your willingness to arrive.
The workshop before the Temple (14:30) is there to help you arrive open, grounded, and already connected to the people in the room.
"We're a couple. Is this for us?"
Yes. Couples come to go deeper, to feel something real between them again. The space holds solo people and couples equally.
"What if tantra isn't for me?"
Tantra in this space is the practice of presence: in breath, in sensation, in contact. The art of being fully here. Anyone with a body and a longing to connect is welcome in this room.
"How do I know I'll feel safe?"
This space is trauma-aware and held by an experienced team of facilitators. Every exercise is an invitation. Your warm yes is the only thing that moves anything forward.
Wear comfortable clothes you can move in. No partner needed. Come as you are. 🌺
