SUMMARY:A Slow Temple For BIPOCs
DESCRIPTION:A space dedicated to slow-burning connection\\, honest int/ma
 cy and ple/sure among bodies of culture.\\nAbout this Event\\nA Slow Temp
 le For BIPOCs.\\nA space of honest and slow burning connection among BIPO
 Cs.\\nMAKE SURE TO READ THE WHOLE DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY.(for clarificatio
 n: this is a BIPOC-exclusive space)\\nFormer attendees of previous editio
 ns of A Slow Temple For BIPOCs say:\\n“I revel in the lingering feeling
  of peace and belonging I have been searching for since moving to the cit
 y.”\\n"It was such a special space you created with and for BIPOC bodie
 s\\, and I have rarely felt so comfortable and accepted with my body in a
  group."\\n"It has honestly set a very high standard for me\\, and I feel
  inspired to explore more spaces like this in the future."\\n"It allowed 
 me to explore aspects of intimacy and touch that I had never really consi
 dered before and to learn new things about myself and connection."\\nWhat
  comes to my mind ...\\n... thinking of A Slow Temple For BIPOCs\\, is ge
 ntle emergence\\, space to breathe\\, and the tenderness of being among o
 ther BIPOC bodies. This space has brought together the ones who crave slo
 wness in their ways of creating int/macy. The ones who yearn for softness
  in a city that offers often rather the opposite.\\nIt is welcoming you a
 s you are and honouring your individual pace. Feel invited to express wha
 t wants to be expressed. To choose your level of engagement while being g
 ently held and guided into slow burning connection.\\nThis is not a S* pa
 rty. This is not a workshop. This is not a speed dating event.This space 
 has been created out of need and love for community. Out of desire and fr
 ustration. A space dedicated to slowness and honest int/macy among BIPOCs
 .\\nIn this city there’s a lack of spaces that center BIPOC bodies\\, h
 earts and ple/sure. Spaces for us\\, who crave slowness\\, softness\\, la
 ughter\\, and real\\, un-performative int/macy among BIPOCs are rare. Spa
 ces aloof from peak-experience s* positive parties\\, k/nk workshops\\, o
 r other hedonistic gatherings. That’s why this Slow Temple came to life
 .\\nA beginner- and queer-friendly guided and curated container designed 
 for you to explore slowness\\, sensuality\\, embodied consent and boundar
 ies\\, intentional touch\\, your emotional world - all to create deeper c
 onnections in a group space and ritual\\, where we invite human aliveness
  in all it forms: joy\\, softness\\, akwardness\\, sadness\\, exhaustion\
 \, care\\, closness\\, sillyness.\\nA cozy\\, consent-forward playground 
 for exploring authentic int/macy and ple/sure without pressure. A place t
 o breathe\\, blush\\, stretch\\, and maybe discover that ple/sure can be 
 as simple as a deeper breath\\, an intentional pause\\, eye contact\\, a 
 giggle\\, or a really good hug.\\nA Slow Temple For BIPOCs\\, created by 
 BIPOCs.\\nThis space is for adult\\, Black\\, Brown\\, Indigenous\\, Peop
 le of Color\\, Sinti*zze & Rom*nja\\, Latinx and Bodies of Culture. Peopl
 e of all genders\\, bodies\\, sexualities\\, emotional states\\, spiritua
 l paths and relationship styles are welcome. No prior experience is neede
 d\\, just the willingness and readiness to meet others where they are at 
 and your curiosity.\\nN.B. for white passing people\\, (people who profit
  from white privilege and have a lived experience of being treated as whi
 te) consult me first. For those who are white passing and (who have) expe
 rience(d) racism in their daily lives: your experience as a racialised bo
 dy will be at the center and not your proximity to whiteness. If you are 
 unsure about where you stand\\, I warmly invite you to get in touch with 
 me to chat about it.\\nHow can I imagine a Temple?Imagine a cozy slumber 
 party\\, cuddle puddle\\, int/macy lab: A Temple is a guided space to exp
 lore intimate connection ~ solo\\, partnered\\, and collective ~ through 
 the body\\, the senses\\, and a generous dose of curiosity. Where er/tic 
 energy might show up\\, without pressure and expectation\\; we’re letti
 ng it find us while we’re busy being our weird\\, radiant\\, consent-sa
 vvy selves. You are guided gently before you are invited to follow your c
 uriosity and ple/sure in a free flow\\, where you might get in touch with
  your edges and express your ‘Yes’ and ‘No’s’ (and everything i
 n between).\\nYou will be guided through practices centering around embod
 ied consent\\, intentional touch\\, body awareness. All to bring you in t
 ouch with your body\\, your truth and inner world\\, to welcome you where
  you are at and to bring you in connection with others. You are invited t
 o express in ways that feel true to you ~ to move freely\\, to be in sile
 nce and stillness\\, to (self) touch\\, to use your voice\\, to share\\, 
 to actively listen.\\nThe Flow of the NightArrival – “Landing Softly�
 �� We start and remain slow and soft. You’ll have time to arrive and to
  ground. There will be intros and agreements for the collective to unders
 tand how to co-create it safer and yet juicy.\\nGuided Space – “Sensu
 al Exploration (With Structure)” You are invited to solo\\, partnered a
 nd group exercises\\, e.g. mindful touch\\, embodied consent\\, joint mov
 ement\\, compassionate sharings: exercises to build trust and to bring yo
 u into your body\\, to speak and express your truth from your body. Witho
 ut expectation or pressure. You are at all times in the driver seat of yo
 ur own experience and the level of your involvement. It is totally fine t
 o step aside at anytime\\, be by yourself. Your No’s will be celebrated
 .\\nOpen Space – “Choose Your Own Adventure. Follow Your Desire” Af
 ter the guided part\\, the space opens. Maybe you want to cuddle. Maybe y
 ou want to follow the cute encounter you just had before. Maybe you want 
 to offer someone a sensual massage. Maybe you lie dramatically on a pillo
 w and gaze at the ceiling. Feel free to explore: Follow your desire\\, yo
 ur ple/sure\\, without pressure\\, performance\\, or goals.\\nClosing Cir
 cle – “Reflect\\, Express Feels And Gently Close” We gather again\\
 , share what stood out\\, wrapping up\\, integrate\\, and return to the w
 orld a little more tender\\, a little more alive\\, and hopefully smellin
 g faintly of liberation.\\nConsentIt is not only the s/xiest thing in the
  space\\, it is the bare minimum: Enthusiastic ongoing embodied & informe
 d Consent. We move slowly and with care. We ask first. We listen with our
  whole bodies. We renegotiate. We normalize awkwardness\\, because someti
 mes “uhh can I…?” is the s/xiest sentence in the room. Every ‘Yes
 ’ is sacred. Every ‘No’ is not only respected but celebrated. Every
  ‘Maybe’ is a “check in later.” You are always in the driver seat
  of your own experience.\\nWhat else is important to knowGroup size: Expe
 ct a group size between 15-25 people.\\nEnergy in the space: Welcoming a 
 co-creational space of desire\\, sensuality and potentially er/tic energy
  (and it’s totally ok if that is not your vibe at that moment of time).
 \\nThere will be a self-regulation zone: A quiet corner for solo time\\, 
 snacks\\, or existential reflection.\\nOpting out: Totally okay. You can 
 say no at all times\\, step aside\\, nap in the corner\\, or stare into t
 he void — we love that for you.\\nClothing: Optional. Fashion statement
 s welcome\\, but no must. Bring your juicy lingerie\\, your witchy cloak 
 and/or your comfy sweater and decide what mood you are in in the moment. 
 Whatever makes you feel comfortable and like you. N/dity is just one of m
 any ways to express comfort and sensuality. Panties stay on though.\\nAtm
 osphere: Part Temple\\, part cuddle fort\\, part BIPOC family reunion whe
 re deep emotions are welcome.\\nSupport: Expect emotional support and gro
 unded facilitation throughout.\\nSnacks: Provided\\, but don’t expect a
  proper dinner. So please come well fed or bring yourself a small tupper 
 snack.\\nLGBTQIA + neurodivergence + beginner friendly: As a queer\\, lig
 ht-skinned Black\\, and neurodivergent human\\, I warmly welcome those of
  similar heritage and lived experience to join the Temple.\\nFor those of
  you who need slownessI see you. I am one of you. You don’t have to be 
 overly outgoing and expressive\\, extroverted\\, confident\\, loud or fli
 rty to belong. Feeling shy\\, awkward\\, intimidated\\, nervous before an
 d in these experiences is absolutely common. This space invites you where
  you are at. This space moves slow and built on softness and slowness. We
  ease in gently\\, setting clear agreements and moving through clearly-gu
 ided practices. Partnering up is always a choice\\, never a demand. Move 
 at your own rhythm. Take a pause\\, step out\\, giggle\\, tear up\\, or j
 ust breathe. Every version of you belongs here.\\nPracticalitiesLocation:

 ur Main Facilitator for the Temple\\nDENNIS (HE/THEY)\\nI am based in Ber
 lin\\, creating spaces of int/macy and deliberate slowness. I accompany i
 ndividuals and groups toward greater authenticity\\, self-acceptance\\, a
 nd int/macy - with themselves and others. My work is guided by the princi
 ples of slowness\\, curiosity\\, and presence\\, holding space (and hands
 ) in moments of shame\\, awkwardness\\, or self-doubt.\\nSome facts about
  me: I am a certified SOMA Int/macy® practitioner. I am also trained in 
 Nuad Thai massage and Reiki. I weave these modalities together in spaces 
 of slowness\\, primarily in Berlin\\, through group workshops (up to 50 p
 articipants so far)\\, festivals (e.g.\\, STRETCH\\, Whole\\, The Palace\
 \, Waking Life)\\, and 1:1 accompaniment.\\nwww.returningtoslowness.com\\
