Temple of Transcendence
Sunday, December 27th, 2026 · Mission Valley, San Diego
Temple of Transcendence
Beyond the body. Beyond the self. Beyond what you thought was possible.
A conscious connection experience · Presented by The Temple Tribe
What lies on the other side of sensation?
Where does the body end and something infinite begin?
Between Christmas and New Year — between what was
and what will be — this is the doorway.
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 Transcendence 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, held, and liberated beyond anything they’ve felt before.
The week between Christmas and New Year is one of the most liminal of the entire year. The old self is loosening. The new year hasn’t yet arrived. You are suspended between worlds — and there is no better time to discover what you become when every boundary of the ordinary dissolves.
This is the final event of the Temple Series. And we intend it to be the most profound.
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.
Beyond the Body
An evening designed to take you past the edges of the ordinary — into pure presence, pure consciousness, pure being.
Consent-Based
Enthusiastic verbal consent is the foundation of every interaction. Nothing happens without a clear yes.
Fully Sober
No alcohol. No substances. The altered state tonight is created entirely by presence, connection, and intention.
All Are Welcome
Singles, couples, poly, LGBTQ+, all relationship configurations and orientations celebrated.
Sunday, December 27th
Your evening, unfolded
Doors Open
Arrive and begin to release the year. Leave everything that no longer belongs to you at the door.
Doors Close
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 intentions. For this final gathering of the year, the Opening Circle carries particular weight — come ready to be present.
Free Exploration
The evening dissolves into something beyond ordinary experience. Deep, ethereal ambient music. Midnight blue and silver atmospherics. Multiple spaces. The final, most profound night of the Temple Series.
Closing Circle & Goodbyes
We close the Temple Series together — with gratitude, witnessing, and the profound recognition of what we’ve built this year.
The Space
A venue built for this exact evening
This isn’t someone’s living room cleared of furniture. Temple of Transcendence takes place in a thoughtfully curated private venue in Mission Valley — transformed for the final evening of the year, with multiple distinct spaces so you can move between energies all night long.
Live DJ & Dance Floor
Deep, ethereal, transcendent ambient sets — music chosen to dissolve the boundaries between self and sensation.
Dance Lighting
Midnight blue and silver atmospherics that make the whole space feel like the inside of a dream.
Mocktail Bar
A tip-based non-alcoholic bar with crafted mocktails and beverages. Clear minds. The altered state is the room itself.
Outdoor Fire Pit
Step outside into the December night — the fire pit offers warmth, stars, and the particular magic of year-end stillness.
Multiple Rooms
Private and semi-private spaces throughout the venue for deeper connection, intimacy, and exploration.
The Grand Finale
This is the final Temple Series event of 2026 — every detail elevated to honor what this community has built together all year.
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.
