Temple of Grace
The Temple Series · Sunday, November 29th, 2026 · Mission Valley, San Diego
Temple of Grace
Grateful. Abundant. Overflowing.
A conscious connection experience · Presented by The Temple Tribe
What if you let yourself receive — fully, without shrinking,
without deflecting, without saying “it’s too much”?
What if abundance wasn’t something you chased
but something you finally allowed?
A Space Built for Women First
This one was designed for you
Most events like this are built around male fantasy. Ours isn’t.
Temple of Grace is designed from the ground up with women’s experience at the center. The energy in the room, the consent culture, the facilitation, the vibe — all of it calibrated to make sure women feel not just safe, but truly seen, celebrated, and gloriously full.
We live in a world that trains women to give endlessly and receive poorly. To shrink from compliments, deflect from desire, and apologize for taking up space. This evening is the antidote to all of that.
The weekend after Thanksgiving — after a season of giving — this is your night to receive. Graciously. Abundantly. Without apology.
The Experience
What is a conscious play party?
A grown-up playground where consensual sensual and intimate experiences can unfold at whatever level feels right for you.
From affectionate touch, sensual massage, cuddling, and deep conversation, to dancing, flirtation, and more intimate connection — this is a shame-free space to explore your desires within your own comfort zone. Nothing is expected. Everything is possible. You are always at choice.
This is not a free-for-all. It’s a carefully curated, sober, consent-based gathering for like-minded adults who take both pleasure and responsibility seriously. We are joyfully poly and LGBTQ+ friendly.
Grateful & Full
An evening steeped in abundance — where generosity flows freely and receiving is the practice.
Consent-Based
Enthusiastic verbal consent is the foundation of every interaction. Nothing happens without a clear yes.
Fully Sober
No alcohol. No substances. Present, conscious, fully-felt choices all evening long.
All Are Welcome
Singles, couples, poly, LGBTQ+, all relationship configurations and orientations celebrated.

No late arrivals — this is essential for holding the sacred container we create together.
Opening Circle (Mandatory)
Introductions, ice-breakers, consent guidelines, social agreements, and setting intentions. Where we cultivate the field of abundance together.

Closing Circle & Goodbyes
We land together in gratitude before we leave. Integration, witnessing, the warmth of having received.
The Space
A venue built for this exact evening
This isn’t someone’s living room cleared of furniture. Temple of Grace takes place in a thoughtfully curated private venue in Mission Valley — lush, warm, and abundant — with multiple distinct spaces so you can move between energies all night long.
Live DJ & Dance Floor
Rich, warm, lush ambient sets all evening — music that feels like being wrapped in something generous and alive.
Dance Lighting
Warm, verdant lighting that makes every person in the room look and feel luminous.
Mocktail Bar
A tip-based non-alcoholic bar with crafted mocktails and beverages. Clear minds. Fully present connections.
Outdoor Fire Pit
Step outside into the crisp November air — the fire pit is particularly magical this time of year.
Multiple Rooms
Private and semi-private spaces throughout the venue — each with its own distinct energy — for deeper connection and exploration.
Every Detail, Intentional
From the music that fills you, to the fire that warms you, to the rooms that invite you deeper. Abundance in every corner.
Our Sacred Foundation
Consent isn’t a rule. It’s how we breathe here.
We don’t just talk about consent — we practice it, teach it, and hold it as the sacred architecture of everything that happens in this space.
From the Community
What past attendees are saying
I’ve wanted to attend something like this for years and was terrified to actually do it. Knowing I had to show up at other events first — that the community already knew me — made me feel safe before I even walked in. Once I arrived — the Opening Circle, the care in how everything was held — I felt more free in my body than I have in my entire adult life. I cried on the drive home. Happy tears.
As a woman who has spent decades being told her desires were too much — being in a room full of people who celebrated exactly that was life-changing. I didn’t do anything I wasn’t ready for. But I was seen. Fully seen. And that alone was worth everything.
My partner and I have been together eight years and thought we’d explored everything. This opened doors in us we didn’t know existed — not just physically, but in how we talk to each other, how we ask for what we want. The consent culture here rewired something in both of us.
I came alone and was nervous about being a solo woman. Within the first 30 minutes of the Opening Circle I felt completely held — by the space, by the facilitators, by the other women in the room who just got it. I felt desired and safe at the same time. I didn’t know those two things could coexist.
What surprised me most was how much joy there was. I expected intense and serious. It was — but it was also playful and funny and warm. Shiva J holds space with such skill that the whole evening felt like being wrapped in something sacred. I left as the most alive version of myself.
I’d always used a drink to loosen up. Being fully sober in that space made everything more real, more present, more meaningful. I made genuine connections. I felt everything. I wouldn’t have it any other way now.
