Dear Lovers,

During this Temple, I will be offering the Kashmiri Massage, also known as The Yoga of Touch.

Due to the enormity of this practice, I am only inviting couples who have either been to previous Temples with me or who have received the Kashmiri Massage from me in 1:1 session. To really understand & have the capacity to drop into this touch technique, it’s important to have tasted it so that during the evening, I am only able to provide feedback should you need it, but the medicine is already moving you.

You will find details about this practice below, as well as an option to book a 1:1 to receive this technique before coming into Temple with your Beloved.

I am so honoured to share the Kashmiri Massage at this Temple.

I will be sharing this as I have been taught it by my teacher Valentina Leo, & her teacher, Daniel Odier.

I have been sitting inside this method for 8 years, & this will be my first time sharing this within a group space.

This method is one of extreme potency, vulnerability & raw intimacy.

It is the one method, along with the Tandava, that I continue to come back to, & each time I do, something whispers from the depths of me to open & expand & feel. Every massage is different. Each of them offers me exactly what I need in that moment, & yet ultimately they all remind me that I exist, & that I am love expressing.

The depth we will be experiencing together will be a facilitation into touch as a meditation. When we can touch our partner’s body without any agenda, or expectation of receiving something in return, when there is no seduction at play, when we are not taking from their body, when mind can relax & when we enter fully into the erotic play of this moment, we enter what we as traditional tantric practitioners call a Puja—an act of worship.

This expression of reverence & devotion is pure medicine. It is the highest form of nourishment. It is a soothing balm to all our relational troubles. No matter where you are with your partner, you can keep coming back to this Puja & you will always return to the heart of your relationship.

• You will receive a demonstration from me on The Yoga of Touch as transmission
• Each partner will then give and receive the massage
• Tandava practice will also be part of this as Kashmiri cannot exist without this as foundation. Tandava is a mystical dance of unfolding the body into space as awareness follows

This Temple is for those who have either attended previous Temples with me before or who have received Kashmiri during a 1:1 with me. If it’s been within the space of a 1:1, it is not necessary for BOTH partners to have received Kashmiri from me, just one of you to allow for this technique to really drop during Temple.

R1500 – R3000 p/couple paid upfront to reserve your space. Pay what you can based on your financial bracket.

Please note that this Temple is limited to 10 couples; your payment serves as your confirmation & commitment to this experience.

If you cancel within the 7 days prior to the event, you lose this credit. You are welcome to sell your ticket to a friend, in which you are fully responsible for the cash exchange. Please communicate with me who will be taking your space.

Suskia harnesses the power of touch as a pathway for tracking trauma &
lost feeling. She truly ​believes that when touch becomes a practice of
meditation, this profoundly activates the body’s ​ability to nurture itself.

She is no stranger to the underworld of our sexual nature, the somatics of
how trauma moves in ​a body, & the immense initiations that take place
through menstruation.

Having studied anatomy/physiology, classical tantra, ancestral/womb
cosmology & somatic bodywork; she offers ​herself as the bridge between
science and the unseen.

She shapeshifts between the realms of blood, body tissue & nervous
system; the realms of the ​dark womb, the bones of ancestral stories, our
sexual shadows, the erotic & trauma imprinting ​through a visceral
understanding that these are what bring the body into harmonious ​
connection with who we innately are.

Suskia holds the intention of consciously placing herself as a gateway for
others to return home ​to this essential teaching: That when a body
begins to unclench itself from a lifetime of holding ​tight & descends into
deep relaxation, softness & opening, we rediscover that we hold great ​
medicine, wisdom, love & unbounded pleasure.

I’ve worked with couples for many years & one of the most common relational ‘issues’ I continue to explore is how we become set in our intimacy patterns.

We think we know what our partner wants, how they like it, how to touch them.

The curiosity becomes lost.

That tension & fire that existed in the beginning dissolves over time.

I truly believe this dissolution is a rite of passage into deeper intimacy. An initiation into something more profound, meeting the subconscious mystery within our relationship & our partner.

These Temples are curated by love itself, from my direct experience of loving & the teachings I receive from living in truth & freedom. You could say that these spaces, these containers are a living expression of life unfolding from Its own Heart. It’s an exploration of this depth through presence & devotion.

When we learn that regulation is really a meeting in the heart, the body follows by simmering into a state of deeper relaxation where only the Moment exists. Everything else falls away: Attachment to our identity, our narratives, our fears & anxieties, our patterns. We realize that in the beating, throbbing, pulsating of the universe, we are at our core, at our essence; Love Unfolding.

• Traditional Tantric practice remind us that we are the body of reality. To realize this quality is to indulge in the experience of our humanity. Moving away from any idea of goal & purpose & to exist in this body as it is in truth now: No frills, no performance – just the raw, undulating essence of life expressing & experiencing itself
• Co-regulation, these practices serve as a soothing balm to the nervous system of our own bodies & the nervous system of the relationship we have agreed to, which is imperative if we want deeper connection, love, intimacy, desire, pleasure, orgasmic states, & truth with our partner
• True intimacy is dysregulating to our system if we have grown up in relationships where drama & intense sexual tension are what turn us on. We will learn how to re-regulate through the opening of intimacy, expanding our capacity for deeper feeling
• What happens in the body when we begin to feel safe with our partner
• How a dynamic can shift when touch becomes our spiritual practice
• What happens when we touch with our hearts
• Learning to express to our partner what we don’t like or asking for what we need by listening to our body’s true response through their touch
• Clearing out the energetic debris within our fascia & paving a new path for pleasure & connection with our partner
• Learning to listen with our hands
• Deeply connecting with their hearts while not losing ourselves in our own experience
• Tuning in to the love & the truth of our relational dynamic
• … & of course, inviting in spontaneous arising. The group brings the medicine, trusting that all who arrive in this space are meant to be together at this Temple
