2024 Spring Retreat Classes and Rituals

The Inside Out Method
by David Michael Dream (he/him/his) 

Basic tools for approaching and being approached for safety and connection in modern society! “It is unhealthy for us to live in a world where we don’t feel safe to express our very natural desires of desire and attraction.” The solution is not to ban flirting, but rather, to teach people how to approach appropriately. Let’s explore several activities and teachings from doctors and experts in the area so we can explore ways to connect with each other expansively, naturally and safely.

Friday Night Ritual
by Rev. Shelaine Hamby (she/her) Rev. Infinitas X Shannon Williams (she/her they/them) Suzanna George (she/her) and Jack Maney (he/him they/them)

Cleansing, Grounding, & Centering. Many people come to a sacred ritual space or sacred lands bogged down by the weight of the everyday, work-a-day world. This ritual will help the participants of the Temple Scarlet Retreat relax, cleanse themselves of any unwanted low vibrational, low frequency energies and to attune themselves with the natural energies of land and people. This will be a ritual based on Tantric Sensuality, Sexuality, and Reiki Principles. The type of Reiki we will be doing will attune the officiants to the energy of the individual participants to gently and lovingly assist the participants to cleanse, ground, & center their own energetic body.

Please bring feathers, soft implements, and sensual things to share!

  • any non plug in and not loud sex toys you want to use on yourself
