Living Temple Culture at its simplest,
is the moment to moment awareness of creating conscious space for love to pour into and through, for beauty to blossom, art to inspire, joy to flow, and eros to be welcomed as part of the whole, and not THE whole.

Of course it is impossible to pioneer “new culture” without a maturation process.

Living Temple Culture is the journey of deepening our experiment and experience with Temple Culture for the purpose of personal growth and collective maturation.

Living Temple Culture - Dec 5-11, 2024

Living Temple Culture is a 1 week immersion into the foundations of Temple Culture and how to bring it into daily practice, and shared collectively in community.

The journey is inspired through the vision, experience, and lineages of Frank Mondeose, Briana Cribeyer and Blake Zealear.

This container, for Temple Initiates only, will deepen the fundamental practices from your sexual shamanic trainings to date, and will focus on 3 main areas of exploration:
#1 Another spiral of shamanic initiation ie death/rebirth cycle.
#2 Development of more powerful, prayerful and diverse Temples.
#3 Vision, desire and will to serve “community” and beyond.

How did we get here?

Over the last 2-3 decades, our generation experienced a massive shift in conscious sexual embodiment, using life force energy as a somatic and shamanic healing modality for thousands across the planet.

We have experienced a sort of renaissance, mending “magic”, sexuality, and the sacred. We have created spaces of profound alchemical transformation and expansion. We have moved past victim stories and limited beliefs, and transmuted them into resilience, power and creativity.

We have birthed, together, spaces for prayer through community and play. We have busted body shame, reclaimed erotic freedom, and in turn opened our hearts to more love and freedom.

To what end? With freedom comes greater responsibility.

Who is this for?

We are currently taking part in the resurrection of an ancient concept of “Temple Culture”, and through the evolution of time, the forgetting and now the remembering, we slowly piece back the wisdom and medicine these ancient civilizations carried.

Those that have passed through the spiritual, sexual, shamanic rites of passage and initiations understand the emerging “Temple Culture”.

This training is for people experienced in Sexual Shamanism, having been initiated in:

  • Energy exchange through the wheel of consent.
  • Emotional hygiene through emotional release techniques.
  • Self responsibility through shadow stalking, drama triangle and aspecting.
  • Brotherhood and Sisterhood circles
  • Energetic Sex
  • Sexual Healing through self pleasure, and sacred spot techniques.

The Prayer

TOGETHER, we journey towards personal expansion, witnessed and supported. TOGETHER we dissolve to a greater collective consciousness, in attunement and listening for the greater good. TOGETHER we marry our energies and ideas, to raise the vibration of Temple. TOGETHER we remember. TOGETHER we grow.

For all of our relations.
