NEXT TEMPLE DATE TBC

 
 
 
 
 
 
Where desire meets space. Where an expanded nervous system meets relaxation.

Dear Lovers,

There has been a deep aching inside of me to bring to you practices that are rich & unfathomably intimate. For some, this may be quite edgy as we will going many layers deeper. For those who have been working with me for some time within the TOUCH series space, this is an opportunity for you to expand into more capacity with your Beloved. For those who are new here, you can scroll down & read about the birth of this Temple.

What started as a space for co-regulation through intimacy & building meditative plasticity (or capacity for experience & feeling) has shapeshifted into a temple space for the erotically brave & the love-hungry.

Introducing BODY DEVOTION: An advanced level of practice for the Lovers who dare

The vision for this Temple:

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.

Who ‘qualifies’ as advanced:

I use the word “advanced” for lack of a better word to bring attention to the experience of this Temple. There will be nudity although this is not an absolute requirement. If you feel for now it’s safer to be clothed & slowly unveil, this is a process that will be honored however if you are not comfortable with being around other naked bodies, please reconsider your application.

The difference between our last few TOUCH Temples & this one is that we will be experiencing a Yoni / Lingam Puja. This is a devotional practice of meditation for the root body of your Beloved. This part of the series will be held in absolute reverence to the divine nature & essence of eros & grief that moves through the pelvis, a piece that requires a lot of love & awareness as it’s often a part that is touched with an agenda & contains a lot of tension, pain & even resentment.

Sliding scale cost p/couple:

R1200 – R2500 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 cannot pay the full amount immediately but would love to join us, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required.

Limited to 10 couples

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.

Would you like to know where it all began?

I had been longing for an evening dedicated to the Lovers. 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. You could say that these spaces, these containers are a living expression of life unfolding from It’s 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.

For the erotically brave & the love-hungry

Tantra Temple with Suskia in Cape Town

Themes for this body of work:

  • Traditional Tantric practice remind us that we are the body of reality. To embody this quality is to indulge in the experience of our humanity. To move 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
  • Did you know that true intimacy is actually quite dysregulating? We will learn how to re-regulate through the opening of intimacy, expanding capacity for more feeling, pleasure, contraction, bliss, & expanded states
  • What happens in the body when we begin to feel safe with our partner
  • How a dynamic can shift through touch as a meditation 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
  • 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

The birth of The TOUCH Series

This began as a guided touchwork series with the intention for co-regulation.

Learning to regulate our nervous systems through intimacy is one of our most primal needs & often one that goes unmet during the early years of our lives.

When two bodies who are deeply relaxed come together, our attachments to our identity & narratives loosen their grasp & what begins to emerge is how we relate to this Moment.

It’s an opportunity to recognize where in the body we are not at ease, where we are suppressing emotion.

When our touch contains presence & love this offers the body a remembrance of what safety feels like, giving the body permission to fully relax so that we release the resistance we have created around feeling, allowing emotion & eros to rise & express freely within the body.

A touch that is absorbed in cosmic radiance (the Moment) is one that instantly regulates the nervous system.

This practice develops the tantric experience of meditative plasticity.
This means that for a body to be in BLISS, it requires the capacity to be with the constant expansive and contractive movements of life. It is our birthright for our bodies & relationships to experience expanded & orgasmic states, these states just require a stretching of the nervous system so that we find ourselves with the capacity for experience.

These practices bring a body into stretching as well as subconscious relaxation. When we recognise that we are aliveness yet we remain soft & relaxed in this activation, we are walking the Tantric path.

All of this has been weaving itself into existence to meet you in love & reverence.

And so it is.
