Following a beautiful and fully booked first edition, we return with the second Love & Devotion Temple — a sanctuary of connection, aliveness, dance, embodied meditation, tantra and conscious sensuality 

A Temple of love, devotion & pleasure  rooted in the body and led by the heart — where breath, sound and movement invite us into deeper connection with ourselves, each other, and life itself. 

Imagine: playful, sacred, healing, connecting, real… a slow build into deeper presence.
And also a mirror — where connection becomes a practice and a space for exploration.
Where you get to see where you open, where you close, and where your soul wants to expand into deeper alignment.

We will start by landing in our bodies — with simple movement and connection practices to arrive, feel ourselves, and attune with each other. There will be space to explore consent, boundaries and desires in connection.

Then we transition into Temple space — deepening into connection and exploration, followed by “free flow”, where you can explore and follow the threads that feel alive for you.

The Temple will be held throughout by Shivani and an experienced team of assistants.

CLARIFICATION ABOUT THIS TEMPLE
This is a pants-on space — so we can start slow, stay present, and explore connection in its many possibilities.

Eros, pleasure and life-force are welcome here — and this is not an explicit sexual event.

The intention is to bring ground and authenticity, presence and embodiment — so that we can experience more love, freedom and pleasure in a conscious way, while giving our wildness safety first.

ABOUT SHIVANI
Shivani Soares is an energy magician, a dancer, a tantric priestess, and a deep feeling human being. Her journey has been about embodiment, being undone, and remembering one’s essence — in truth, authenticity and freedom.

Starting with a degree in Medicine, her research in healing has taken the shapes of tantra massage, yoga, meditation, shamanism, dance, and embodiment. She has an MA in Dance/Movement Psychotherapy and is a Movement Medicine teacher, having worked with individuals and groups in Portugal, the UK, and Bali.

She lived in Tamera Healing Biotope and studied with Sofia Sundari, Elaine Yonge, ISTA School of Temple Arts, and the Embodied Awakening Academy — diving into the mysteries of the body, conscious sexuality, ritual, tantra, feminine embodiment and pleasure. She also studied non-duality for a decade with Mooji and Ganga Mira in Portugal.

Shivani brings that depth and knowing into her sessions — whether 1-1, Temple Nights, workshops, or tantra & yoni massage. She is passionate about creating spaces that are safe enough, grounded in presence, and that allow our natural wisdom and aliveness to come forth. Wild, yet connected and relaxed.

PARTICIPANT LOVE 
“The temple provided an environment of non judgement, safety and respect. People valued conscious communication, boundaries and people’s needs. I felt comfortable, childlike, playful, explorative and came out having pushed limits and feeling like a more wholesome human being.”

“Another beautiful expansive experience. Broke barriers and integrated more parts of me.”

“I loved the temple space that Shivani held! I felt authenticity, trust, safety, passion, support and a humanness with Shivani, that led to such an amazing experience. This temple space created, gave me the opportunity and freedom to explore in a beautiful way.”
