โจ Sensual. Languid. Unapologetically Warm. โจ Presented by The Temple Tribe [http://www.ourtempletribe.com/] ยท Facilitated by Shiva J ยท The Heart Centered Being LLC ๐๏ธ Click here to reserve your spot [https://www.theheartcenteredbeing.com/temple-of-bliss/] What if you gave yourself permission to slow all the way down? To feel everything. Rush nothing. To let the evening unfold like heat on skin โ warm, unhurried, completely present. No agenda. No performance. Just the exquisite experience of being fully in your body, surrounded by people who get it. That's Temple of Bliss. And if something in you just exhaled reading that โ keep reading. ๐ A SPACE BUILT FOR WOMEN FIRST Most events like this are built around male fantasy. Ours isn't. Temple of Bliss is designed from the ground up with women's experience at the center. The energy in the room, the consent culture, the facilitation, the vibe โ all of it calibrated to make sure women feel not just safe, but truly seen, celebrated, and free. Free from the rushing. Free from performing. Free from the pressure to be anything other than exactly where you are โ warm, open, and fully present in your body. August is peak summer. The nights are long and slow. This evening matches that energy entirely. ๐ฎ WHAT IS A CONSCIOUS PLAY PARTY? Think of it as a grown-up playground where consensual sensual and intimate experiences can unfold in a safe, sacred container โ at whatever level feels right for you. From affectionate touch, sensual massage, cuddling, and deep conversation, to dancing, flirtation, and more intimate connection โ this is a shame-free space to explore your desires within your own comfort zone. You are always at choice. Nothing is expected. Everything is possible. This is not a free-for-all. It's a carefully curated, sober, consent-based gathering for like-minded adults who take both pleasure and responsibility seriously. We are joyfully poly and LGBTQ+ friendly. All relationship configurations, orientations, and expressions are celebrated here. โจ WHAT TO EXPECT The Vibe: Warm ambient music. Soft, golden lighting. A room that feels like sinking into something luxurious โ slow, heavy with possibility, completely unhurried. The kind of space that gives your nervous system permission to finally let go. The Container: Every Temple of Bliss begins with a mandatory Opening Circle โ not a formality, but the heartbeat of the event. This is where we create the field together: introductions, consent agreements, intentions, and the kind of real human contact that makes everything that follows feel safe and alive. The Freedom: You decide exactly how your evening unfolds. You can spend the whole night in deep conversation. You can dance. You can give and receive touch at whatever level feels good. You can explore more. You can change your mind. Your experience belongs entirely to you. ๐๏ธ YOUR EVENING, UNFOLDED Sunday, August 23rd, 2026 ยท Mission Valley, San Diego * 6:30 PM โ Doors Open.

It requires no justification and will always be honored. * Facilitators are present throughout the evening to support and hold the space. This is a 100% sober event. No alcohol. No recreational substances. We want everyone making clear, conscious, fully-present choices all evening long. โญ WHAT PAST ATTENDEES ARE SAYING > "I've wanted to attend something like this for years and was terrified to actually do it. Knowing I had to show up at other events first โ that the community already knew me โ made me feel safe before I even walked in the door. Once I got there โ the Opening Circle, the care in how everything was held โ I felt more free in my body than I have in my entire adult life. I cried on the drive home. Happy tears." โ Catalina > "As a woman who has spent decades being told her desires were too much, too intense, too forward โ being in a room full of people who celebrated exactly that was life-changing. I didn't do anything I wasn't ready for. But I was seen. Fully seen. And that alone was worth everything." โ Anonymous > "I came with my partner. We've been together eight years and thought we'd explored everything. This opened doors in us we didn't know existed โ not just physically, but in how we talk to each other, how we ask for what we want. The consent culture at this event rewired something in both of us." โ Sasha & Marco > "I came alone. I was nervous about being a solo woman. Within the first 30 minutes of the Opening Circle I felt completely held โ by the space, by the facilitators, by the other women in the room who just... got it. I felt desired and safe at the same time. I didn't know those two things could coexist until that night." โ Anonymous > "What surprised me most was how much joy there was. I expected it to be intense and serious. It was โ but it was also playful and funny and warm. Shiva J holds space with such skill that the whole evening felt like being wrapped in something sacred. I left feeling like the most alive version of myself." โ Dominique > "The no-alcohol policy was something I was nervous about โ I'd always used a drink to loosen up in social situations. But being fully sober in that space made everything more real, more present, more meaningful. I made genuine connections. I felt everything. I wouldn't have it any other way now." โ Renee ๐๏ธ TICKETS & PRICING Active Temple Tribe members attend FREE as part of their membership benefit. Not a member?
