The confessional is a gathering of transparency, reflection, and belonging. A space where you can be yourself and explore yourself and others in a nonsexual container designed for connection and personal growth. Whether you're exploring your desires, navigating the complexities of kink and relationships, questioning the beliefs you were raised with, or finding your footing in your identity, or something completely different, you are welcome at The Confessional.
Come to share, to listen, to ask questions, or simply to be in the company of people who understand what it means to seek a place where you can be fully yourself.
The confessional is founded on a few basic principles:
Confidentiality: What is shared in the group stays within the group.
No unsolicited “fixing”: Ask before offering advice, interpretation, or personal testimony.
Respectful participation: No shaming, interrogating, or treating another person's experience as an invitation to debate.
Consent to share: No one is required to disclose anything, anyone can pass and or step away to reset for any reason.
This isn’t therapy: This is a supportive community, not therapy, not crisis intervention, not a substitute for individualized professional care.
What's at the heart of the confessional?
1. Witness without judgment. In this space you have the right to share experiences, desires, uncertainties, and questions without being shamed, ridiculed, or immediately told what to do.
2. Exploration without expectation. No one needs to arrive with answers. You can be questioning your faith, identity, desires, relationships, or place in the community. Uncertainty and curiosity are not only welcome they are celebrated!
3. Connection without control. Our goal is to help you feel less alone, not to persuade you toward a particular identity, lifestyle, belief system, or way of being—just a no-strings-attached connection.
Cuddle Puddle: The cuddle puddle portion of The Confessional is a space to explore non- sexual connective touch with other humans. This portion of the evening is completely optional and as always Samsara’s consent practices apply.
Please bring any comfort items like pillows, blankets, stuffies, snacks, and a drink for the cuddle puddle part of this event.
Doors: 6:30pm - 7:00pm. No late entry. 21+
