Temple

If you get the chance to attend a Temple night, I encourage you. What happens in a temple? Only what you agree to. There are warm-up exercises for connecting, and later, there’s usually time for free choices. Once the building blocks of consent are established, you’re asked what you’d like to experience. At first, it’s hard to know what to say, and it’s inspiring to hear others' requests and perhaps to respond to the ones that pique your interest. It’s a chance to experience different people and situations, to sample and to connect. Sometimes you have to wait and witness for a while. When you pair up or join a group, you’ll have a conversation about what you do and don’t want to do. Limits are as important and welcome as wishes, and vital to feeling contained enough to experiment. Knowing that what you don’t want to happen won’t happen allows safety and relaxation. You choose if you want to create or to respond. Take it from there.
