Ecstatic dance is a freeform movement practice that lets you drop into your body, let go of inhibition, and express yourself through dance—no choreography, no judgment, just pure embodied joy. If you’re new to it or just curious, come with us and check it out. We’ll guide you.

What do your desires feel like - your yes, your no, and your I don’t know?
What does it feel like to hear someone else’s no?

This is not a play or hookup party, but an intimacy and communication skill-building gathering. We come together to explore authentic expression, boundaries, and trust cultivating autonomy, collective care, harm reduction, and consent through embodied practice. There is deep social and political power in gathering this way!

This space centers those who are new to intimacy work, on the asexual or demisexual spectrum, or simply curious about building deeper, more intentional relationships. Bring your curiosity, your vulnerability, your humor, and your heart. Together we’ll learn to communicate what we want, what we don’t, and how to hold space for others in return.

You’re encouraged to make informed, honest choices and to engage with compassion and nonjudgment as we grow our collective understanding of care and connection.

Calling all sapphic queers, dykes, lesbians, bi/pan babes, trans femmes, and nonbinary lovers of women & femme energy!

What do your desires feel like? Your yes, your no, your “I don’t know yet”? What does it feel like to be held in someone else’s no?

This is not primarily a sex or play party (though sexual, sensual, and erotic moments may unfold), but an intimacy skill-building space. We gather to explore communication, desires, and boundaries. We center autonomy, consent, harm reduction, and the magic of non-normative, queer relational practices.

There is something deeply political and powerful about sapphic connection. About choosing softness, curiosity, and mutual care in a world that doesn’t always make space for us. This gathering prioritizes folks on the demisexual and asexual spectrum, those new to kink, and anyone wanting to more fully embody their desires in a supported, affirming environment.

Bring your sexy desires, your tender ones, your silly cravings, your yearning for closeness, your need for laughter, your want to be witnessed.

In this space, we practice RACK (Risk Aware Consensual Kink). We encourage bringing your most recent STI results, but no one will be turned away, just come with honesty, care, and respect for one another’s autonomy and health.

If this is your first QDP, you’re so welcome here. Truly.

Please join us for a new kind of recovery meeting.

Humans Anonymous is a support group designed for anyone navigating the challenges of being human. Grounded in the CoDA format, this is a safe, structured space to find community, connection, and sobriety.

Whether you are actively working through an addiction to substances, processing behaviors, or toxic relationships, you are welcome here. Come as you are, share your truth, and find your people. @MissVelvetShadow will be leading this group discussion.

Litha at Samsara Temple is our high-summer celebration of sunshine, laughter, and the simple joy of being gloriously alive. Think backyard cookout vibes with sacred intention woven in, warm air, playful connection, and that golden-hour glow that makes everything feel possible. As the sun reaches its peak, we gather to celebrate abundance, friendship, chosen family, and the fire that keeps us moving forward. Expect light ritual, shared reflection, maybe a little movement, maybe a little mischief, and a whole lot of community warmth. This is a queer-affirming, consent-centered space to show up bright, bring your aliveness, and soak in the sweetness of summer together.

Hi my name is @humansommelier, or Tucker! This is a class on advanced negotiation. This is for anyone to attend but you may receive the most benefit from it if you are already an experienced player in our communities.

Do you want to take your skills to the next level? Take it from someone who has done things wrong and done things right. The ways I’ve learned negotiation have been through continuous education, messing up, and learning to do better. Alongside a relentless penchant for curiosity, reading, and learning from others.

If you attend this class you can expect to leave with reading materials from our facilitator and we fully anticipate this to be a very open and discussion oriented interactive and collaborative setting. 

We will be having an extensive deep dive into how and why negotiation is so important and how many different kinds of negotiation there really are. What is ethical? What is not? How can we build safer containers to do the insane things we want to do with one another?

I will offer information from books I have read that has been distilled into a digestible format, lived experience that I can lean on, and hopefully bring up some words and terms you’ve never heard of that you can use in your negotiations! 

Schedule of Events:

7:00pm-7:30pm Doors - NO late entry

7:30pm-9:30pm Class and Discussion

9:30pm-10:00pm Optional open Q&A from anyone to anyone on their negotiation practices, any feedback on curriculum, and knowledge sharing.

I am interested in anarchistic pedagogy. Meaning this is a moment to facilitate and discuss rather than be the sole authority figure in the room. 

• This is not intended to be a lecture. 

• Attendees are encouraged to help shape the future curriculum by bringing ideas of their own around consent and negotiation to enhance this conversation. 

• Hopefully you learn something from me and I learn something from you

As an overview, in this course we will talk through:

• Ethical Ethos

• Consent Frameworks

• Consent Models

• Advanced Negotiation Partnership

• Micro-Consent Practices

• Power Exchange and You

• Age and Agency

• Life vs. Lifestyle

• The Company You Keep

• Restorative Action (featuring @dropdeadfae)

Why should you listen to me? I don’t know, maybe you shouldn’t. But my core competencies include:

• Working with the Kink Professional Standards Alliance. Facilitating Module 1: History, Cultural Context, Roles, Consent, Negotiations, Boundaries, and Micro-Consent moments in the Certified Professional Kink Practitioner program. Look them up for more detail

• Kink observer and enthusiast for 20 years

• Lived experience of 8 years (impact, wax, invasives, CNC, power exchange, authority transfer, m/s, d/s, pet play)

• Reading and continuous education (comes with receipts) 

Finding the inner freedom in your yoga practice without clothes is magic; doing just by yourself, knowing that you and every one else in the room is not going to be sharing touch, this is our sacred ground. This is where we reclaim our bodies. Shed self judgement, practice self compassion and move toward pleasure, self acceptance, and self love. Join our teacher @DeviantRose44 for a juicy, juicy practice.

Note: all of our yoga offerings are 90 minutes. This length of class allows you to get fully warmed up and embodied into the practice. It also allows you enough time to then get cooled down and lie in shavasana (corpse pose), then reintegrate back into the real world. These 90 minutes are our gift to you, please treasure them.

This month, we're calling all queer & trans ppl of color! Let's connect with each other and carve out a space for our desires together. <3 This will be a BIPOC only space, and we will see the rest of you wonderful kinksters in July!

What do your desires feel like? Your yes and your no and your I don't know? What does hearing someone else's no feel like?

This is not primarily a sex or play party (though sexual, sensual, and erotic acts may occur), but an intimacy skill-building party. We gather to communicate our desires and our boundaries, to cultivate increased autonomy, group-level intimacy, harm reduction, consent, and other 'non-normative' relational practices. There is a political significance of coming together this way! This party is open for those on the demisexual and asexual spectrum, for those new to kink, and for anyone who wants to learn how to more authentically embody their desires and receive support. Feel free to bring your sexy desires as well as your non-sexual, your silly, your vulnerable, and your political desires.

In this space we believe in RACK - Risk Aware Consensual Kink. We prefer that you bring your most recent STI results, but no one will be turned away. Please make informed decisions and practice honesty and nonjudgment when conversing with folks about sexual health.

We encourage you to read the zine before you come, and afterwards you're welcome to host your own QDP! yippie! :_)

If this is your first QDP, no worries 😎 Here’s some optional ideas on how to prepare:

Things To Bring:
Your desires!! They can be sexual, sensual, caring, or silly. Try brainstorming (ex "I want someone to brush my teeth”, “I want to do a staring contest”, “I want someone to stroke my inner thighs during the next 3 dares”) What are you craving right now?

The Invitation:

Whether you are stepping into a temple space for the first time or you’ve been a part of the Samsara family for years, this evening is for you.

For our newcomers, this is the perfect, low-pressure entry point to understand our culture of consent and connection. For our seasoned players, this is an invitation to slow down, sharpen your energetic tools, and lead by example. We believe the best "Intro" is one where the community comes together to co-create a container that is as deep as it is safe.

What’s Different?

Unlike our standard events where we move quickly into play, we are dedicating the first half of the night to a consent workshop. This isn't just a "how-to" - it’s a guided journey through self inquiry and communication games designed to drop everyone into their bodies.

Seasoned folks: Come to refine your "slow-burn" skills and enjoy the luxury of a 90-minute warm-up.

Newer folks: Come to learn the ropes in a space held by those who know it best.

Schedule of events:
6-7p Doors Open

The Dark Dance: The First Step

Heavy impact is often misunderstood as “just hitting harder.”

It isn’t.

It is rhythm. It is control. It is communication through force, timing, and intention.

The Hammer’s Waltz is the next movement in The Dark Dance series, created and taught by @revik wulfe, focusing on heavy impact as a discipline within edgeplay. Where the first class explored the nature of the edge itself, this class steps into the moment of contact, the decision to strike, the responsibility behind it, and the skill required to do it well.

This is not a performance space, and it is not a play party. This is an educational workshop centered on understanding the why and how behind heavy impact before it ever becomes action.

Participants will explore:

• The mindset required to engage in heavy impact responsibly

• Presence, emotional awareness, and reading a partner in real time

• The role of ego and how it disrupts safety and connection

• Impact tools (hands, floggers, paddles, crops, canes) and how they differ

• Thuddy vs. stingy sensation and how to layer intensity

• Safe vs. dangerous target zones and basic anatomy awareness

• Body mechanics, rhythm, and control in striking

• Communication strategies during high-intensity scenes

• Emotional responses, distress signals, and aftercare considerations

Heavy impact is not chaos. Its choreography.

A three count rhythm of approach, strike, and settle, where every movement carries intention, and every moment requires awareness.

This class is designed for those who are curious about impact, those beginning to explore heavier play, and experienced players who want to refine their understanding of presence, safety, and control.

Join your host @DeviantRose44 for Sex Magick!

This powerful practice is my favorite way to manifest not only physical desires, but states of being. It's also a lot of fun!

It's most effective when done with intention, as a ritual practice, and when followed up with action steps. It's much more than just thinking about what you want during orgasm.

In this workshop you'll uncover a core desire to play with, drop into a potent five senses reality meditation to experience having your desire in present time, a self-pleasure and/or breath activation through your entire system, and setting a plan of action to commit yourself to. You'll also bring awareness to obstacles that may come up for you.

Because integration, consistency, and practice are necessary pieces of transformation, you'll receive a link for a DropBox file of instructions and the meditations.

What you'll need:

Yoga mat
Blankets
Pillows
A journal
Eye masks
Lube or body friendly oil
Optional: non-vibrating toys
An open mind and heart

Duration: 2 hours
Price: $44.44 in advance $55.55 at the door

Forget the standard night out. We’re hosting the ultimate sapphic night in. This is a slumber party style event designed for deep connection, soft textures, and uninhibited play. Think of it as a soft landing where the tea is hot, the skin is glowing, and the intimacy is intentional.

What's In Store:

Tea Party!

We’ll begin with a communal tea ceremony. Please bring your favorite tea and your most beloved tea cup. We will provide plenty of fresh water and light refreshments.

Poetry!

A dedicated space for us to share words that move us. Bring a poem (your own or a favorite) to read to the group.

Intimacy Games!

We’ll move through a series of curated games designed to foster genuine sapphic connection, vulnerability, and desire.

Face Masks!

We are providing face masks, plus a "kitchen apothecary" station where you can mix your own masks using honey and other fresh, skin-loving ingredients.

Play Time!

Once we’ve connected through words and wellness, the space will transition into open, consensual orgy play.

Schedule:

6:30-7p: Doors Open

7p: Doors Close - No Late Entry.

7-8:30p: Tea, Face Masks, Poetry, Games

8:30-9p: Consent Chat

To maintain the intentional, soft, and sacred energy of this space, we ask all participants to help us protect the container. This event is strictly curated for those who self-identify as sapphic; as such, we maintain a firm no cis-men policy to ensure a dedicated environment for women, non-binary, and gender-expansive folks to connect.

Age 21+

Welcome to Joy Night, a vibrant group dedicated to helping individuals find inner joy within themselves and their community. Each month, we come together for themed activities that inspire connection, creativity, and celebration of who we are.

100% of the money you spend for this event will be given to a charity of Charlie’s choice.

Come ready to have fun and discover the joy within! We can’t wait to see you there!

What better way to spend a Wednesday evening than with syrup, smut, and sacred silliness? Porn and Pancakes, where stacks of fluffy pancakes meet sticky-fingered laughter and the shared thrill of watching porn together.

This event isn’t about shock value of what we choose to imbibe, it’s a celebration of our shared horny viewing pleasures! We gather to de-stigmatize pleasure, explore the deliciously awkward, and nourish our bodies and libido in equal measure. Expect good food, good company, and a communal experience that turns our fuck puddle into an kitchen table altar of play and connection.

Bring your curiosity, your hunger, and your favorite topping to share. We’ll provide the pancakes and together, we’ll provide the joy.

Age 21+

Tickets: 22.22 w/promo: pancakes

Recovery looks different for lots of folks. We’re choosing to bring together kinksters, who are actively in recovery for a support group. Come as you are. Find support, community and sobriety. @MissVelvetShadow will be leading this group discussion.

Schedule of events:
6:30p Doors Open
7p Doors CLOSE
7-7:30 Introductions and Consent Chat
7:30-10 Masculine Desire Games led by @humansommelier
10-10:30 Debrief

A gathering for men and man-aligned people who love, crave, and reach for one another with intensity, devotion, and unapologetic eroticism.

This event honors that tradition:

This is a space intentionally crafted by and for men, masc, transmasc, and man-aligned queer people seeking physical, sensual, sexual, and emotionally charged connection with others in that same constellation.

ACHILLEAN invites you to dance, flirt, explore, connect, and feel the magnetic pull between man-aligned bodies who desire one another openly.

We will play games to break down hegemonic masculinity (the cultural models of 'real manhood') and draw us closer together.

Then we will open the night to ask for what we want from one another. Exploring, kissing, touching, or just being close and connecting in masculine friendship.

Thank you for your attention and your care! Reach out to @humansommelier with any questions. We hope to see you there. <3
