How do we have an expression of sensuality in our daily lives? How can we bring out this essence within us, connect to our own senses and body without being self-conscious? And how can we cultivate this and share it, accept and recognise it in each other?

Wise Guide Book Club - The Erotic Mind
A radical sex therapy book to help us understand what will turn us on and why; what we’re trapped in and the way through it. The book asks you to identify and write down your four peak erotic experiences, two real and two fantasy, so you can begin to identify your Core Erotic Theme. Your CET will help you understand what’s always going to work for you, what gives you a personal erotic charge and why. And through seeing what you’ve overly focused on, you also get to identify the unresolved issues you’ve been avoiding. Once you know this, you can see what’s unconsciously pulling your strings.

Erotic Mysteries Deep Dive by Seani Love
I’m assisting Seani Love on this exploration of the mysterious places where Sacred Sexuality, Conscious Kink and the Human Shadow overlap.
Some of the things you’ll explore are Consent, Desires & Boundaries, clear communication for negotiating touch, D/s dynamics, Consensual non-consent exercises, Archetypes and how to use them in erotic spaces.
Modern Happening
What happens when we materialise out of screens into real-life meetings? How do we connect and feel curious and safe, open and steady? How do we understand trust and safety inside ourselves alongside feeling the aliveness that connection and intimate risk brings?
Sensual Salon
Pleasure and sensuality can feel frivolous in times like this. So pleasure becomes a radical act, subversively sexy, a time for ourselves to keep our erotic embers smouldering and our creative juices flowing. Let’s nurture a complicit sense of sensual connection.
What gives us the intimacy of sensuality? How do we express it more easily? Nath & Ali would love to dive into this realm with you. Every month we will host a salon in which sensuality is at the core. There will be sharings, playfulness, music, poetry and storytelling and mystery guests. It’ll be beautiful, creative, sometimes edgy, kind and spacious. You’ll meet like-minded souls, people who’re looking for a sensual expression of their innate being.
Desire, Connection, Intimacy
Open your mind to new and greater possibilities for an erotic life that leads to deeper connection in your relationship. Desire, Intimacy, Connection is for women who want to have more everyday intimacy, who want to see the bedroom as a renewed haven of love, experimentation and sensual refuge. Opening your mind to how female-led intimacy can renew your interest, will awaken you to new possibilities for pleasure and relationship.
Exploring Connection for Couples
The million dollar question for couples is how to maintain love and desire in a relationship. Love seeks closeness and desire needs distance. How do we maintain interest and variety in our everyday intimacy?

Tod Talks
DEATH, SEX AND CURRENCY
WE’RE BURNING TO SHARE
Belting it out without a bible, seditious, salacious, radical and subversive, we want to hear it.
Tod Talks are held in a grade one listed gothic revival church.
The line up of speakers have 10 minutes to share their ideas and convert or seduce the audience to your unique way of thinking.
No holy water or other magic needed..kind intent and the power of your words is enough.
Dating Tips from the Tantric Temple
Are you enjoying Dating or do you need some inspiration and freshness to your approach?
Maybe drinking and hooking-up doesn’t appeal to you anymore, or never did?
Do you long for a date that’s meaningful, connected and enjoyable which leaves you feeling affirmed and joyful, even if it doesn’t go further than one evening?
If your dates are non existent, boring or disappointing and you want to be a part of something slow not speedy, accepting rather than competing, and somewhere where you’ll learn new tips and ideas in the company of kind, intelligent people, come and join Tantra teacher Annabel Newfield and Sexpert and Tantric Realist Alison Pilling for a light hearted fun loving Valentines evening.
The Genius Between Your Legs
Y*ni Pu*sy, V*lva Cu*t..whatever your choice of word did you know there’s power and wisdom and creative genius between your legs and what’ more she speaks! Words of love and longing, wisdom and wildness, sadness and sassiness and if we simply listen pure kindness will pour forth.
With a gentle and playful way in through words, movement and art we can coax, encourage and listen to her story..and we’ll make art with her words.
Join artist and creative genius Heidi Chadwick and Tantric Realist and artist Alison Pilling in a loving day, devoted to finding your authentic artistic expression in the realm of exploring your sensuality and sexuality, body and voice.
By the end of the day weaving through a tender and deepening and possibly surprisingly irreverent journey, you’ll have produced a meaningful and beautiful piece of personal sacred Yoni art.
