Inviting you to the Eros As Medicine temple - a co-cration with Shanti, in Bristol on the 24th October

This will be the first time I am running a temple that is explicitly for people who already have temple experience, and I’m excited to bring something a bit deeper.

Erotic energy is the great amplifier, it turns up the volume on life, on whatever lives beneath the surface: from unacknowledged wild desire to the insecurities, jealousy and old stories of unworthiness. Eros brings it up to be seen, felt, and met fully by yourself and others.

This temple is an inquiry into the authentic meeting point between us: that real edge where people actually feel touched, whether that’s across a room in eye contact, or in the full heat of passion. Intimacy isn’t about how physically close we get: it’s in how true we’re willing to be about where we actually are.

🌀 Boundaries As Medicine - 4 week Deep Dive - Totnes
14th Oct – 4th Nov
Wednesdays 7–10pm, Totnes

Almost 3 weeks to go! 🌿

What if your boundaries weren't walls you built to keep people out, but a way of becoming more deeply connected to your true path?

“Each inauthentic ‘yes’ builds a wall between you and True Intimacy.”

Over four weeks we'll explore boundaries through the body, emotions, consent, anger, intimacy and real-life practice.

A space to notice where you don't stand up for yourself, where you struggle to say no, where you say yes when you mean maybe, and what becomes possible when you start listening more closely to what your body actually wants.

With Joy Mittens, plus Emily Martin joining us for a session on the Wheel of Consent.

🌿 4 Wednesday evenings
🌿 Small, embodied group
🌿 No previous experience needed
📍 Totnes Natural Health Centre

£100 Early Bird SOLD OUT
£120 Medium Bird SOLD OUT
£150 Regular
£180 Last Minute

If this work is calling you, now is a good time to book.

Touch As Medicine - Oxytocin Dance Meditation - October - totnes
Sat 10th Oct · 6:30–9:45pm

Just over two weeks to go! 🌿

Meaningful touch has become strangely scarce. We can be surrounded by people and still go days, weeks or months without touch that is simply affectionate, nourishing and without expectation.

Safe, nourishing touch can activate oxytocin, a neurochemical involved in bonding, connection, calm and social belonging.

Touch As Medicine is an invitation to reclaim some of that.

An evening of conscious, consensual, platonic touch, beginning with meditative movement and self-connection before gradually opening into shared touch, if desired.

No performance. No pressure. No expectation. Just presence, listening and connection.

📍 The Forge, Collins Rd, Totnes
