“We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known.”Brené Brown
CONSCIOUS TEMPLE NIGHT TALLINN
Are you ready to undress all the way down to the essence of your being?
Are you ready to embody and explore your erotic nature? To let your sovereign-self guide you towards a higher love? Are you prepared to express your desires, needs and boundaries?
We welcome you in letting eros be your medicine and bridge to a more expansive love.
INVITATION & INTENTION
Conscious Temple Night Tallinn is an invitation to connect with eros in a conscious way: slowly, patiently, respectfully and with deep presence. The intention is to meet each other from the heart and to witness one another in our authentic expressions.
We want you real, raw, broken, open, shy, luscious, tender, ecstatic, grieving. Whatever is the truth of your being, we ask you to bring it and weave it into the space.
BOUNDARIES & CONSENT
We welcome your YES as much as we welcome your NO.
To this day, I have yet to meet someone who hasn’t had their boundaries crossed or hasn’t had difficultly expressing or upholding their boundaries.
The truth is, no temple is 100% safe. In its essence, a temple is a learning ground. A space to either win-some or learn-some (no losing or being the victim). A temple is an opportunity to deepen our relationship with our boundaries and consent.
If you are not familiar with Betty Martin’s ‘Wheel Of Consent’, we ask that you watch this video to familiarize yourself with the different types of touch before joining us at the Temple space.
If you are not familiar with the RBDSMA talk, we request that you familiarize yourself with this important conversation. It is listed at the bottom of the page below the Temple Agreements.
THIS EVENT IS NOT FOR YOU IF…
You've never participated in an erotic temple.
You're simply looking to ‘hook up’.
You have no idea what consent is.
Your fear outweighs your curiosity.
You often feel extremely challenged to express or uphold your boundaries.
You’re coming to take/consume without opening your heart.
You feel insecure about your sense of safety in an erotic space.

ABOUT THE FACILITATOR: Nathan Marcuzzi
Canadian born but Croatian and Italian by blood, Nathan’s journey began at age 14 when he was introduced to hatha yoga and meditation by his high school theatre teacher and to authors such as Jiddu Krishnamurti by his father. Eight years later, in 2003, he felt called to deepen his experiences and began exploring various avenues of spirituality from Kundalini based teachings in Kathmandu, Vipassana trainings in Canada, followed by his initiation in Reiki levels 1 & 2 in Northeastern Thailand. He was committed to these practices for nearly 12 years at which point they began to feel stagnant. This stagnancy is what ultimately led him towards his current path.
In 2015, he felt intuitively pulled to a Tantra festival in Sweden where he was introduced to Breathwork, De-armouring and what he now calls a Somagetic Ecstatic Experience. “This festival experience not only changed my life’s path, it completely transformed how I viewed life and sexuality. I awoke to the reality that the alignment of one's life force or sexual energy could bring great awakening. I have never felt so empowered knowing that my true essence - my authentic, invariable nature - is within me here and now and that all universal greatness and beauty is accessible at any given moment.”
TEMPLE AGREEMENTS
By signing up for this Temple you agree to the following…
I will respect everybody's boundaries and ensure that all my activities and interactions are respectful and only involve people who have given their consent to the interaction.
If I'm unsure about someone's boundaries or if I'm not sure if someone has understood my boundaries, or if it's in some way unclear what we have consented to, I will take responsibility for taking the time to clarify this before we continue.
I understand that I am participating in a Temple that is not a substitute for therapy. I am responsible for participating in a way that I can manage (physically, psychologically, and emotionally). I understand everything that happens at the Temple is voluntary and that I am not compelled to do anything I feel uncomfortable with. I take full responsibility for my boundaries, for what I don't want to receive and what I'm not willing to give.
I understand that I can at any time change my mind, say No, stop what I'm doing or leave the room or situation. I can always (as long as it's done with consent) adjust any interaction to better suit my needs and what I really want to give or are willing to receive.
I understand that everything said or done during the temple is confidential. I am free to share my own experiences but will not talk about what someone else has done or said. I will not reveal real names, nicknames or explicit details about any person at the Temple to someone outside of the Temple.
I understand that the following is not allowed: hateful, harmful, threatening or bullying behaviour; to discriminate or harass anyone regardless of their gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, sexual preferences, ethnicity, colour, age, functionality, social affiliation, religion or other beliefs.
I am solely responsible for having the insurance I wish to have for the Temple. I cannot claim compensation for something I did or exposed myself to during the Temple.
Before or during the Temple, I will not use any alcohol or drugs, not even drugs that are legal or considered being natural (like plants or mushrooms).
RBDSMA TALK
The acronym RBDSMA stands for Relationships, Boundaries, Desires, Sexual Health, Meaning and Aftercare. It is a safer sex conversation that give space to having a beautiful experience more likely.
Remember, have this conversation BEFORE you engage. The point of the conversation is to better understand one another and create a sense of safety for the connection. The conversation could last 10 minutes or 1 hour - don’t rush it.
It is recommended that you and the other person (or other people if in a group) discuss one topic at a time, taking turns. If you are ever unclear about something the other person has said, be sure to ask for clarity. In other words, do not shrink, be shy or hold yourself back.
If any concerns arise while listening to the other person(s), you now have an opportunity to discuss your concerns further. If at the end of the conversation you’re not feeling in alignment about what was said or shared, you are now empowered to end the connection.
Relationships
What is your relationship status? Are you single? Partnered? Do you practice ethical non-monogamy (ENM)? Which type of ENM do you practice? Are you a swinger? In a open relationship? Hierarchical, nonhierarchical or solo polyamory? Who could potentially be affected by this connection? If you do practice ethical non-monogamy or polyamory, talk about what level of transparency you have with the person or people who would be affected by your connection.
Boundaries
What physical or energetic things do you NOT want to be part of your experience? Here are some examples: dirty talk, anything anal, spanking or choking. When discussing the above also include your boundaries around choice of barriers for STI's and pregnancy.
Desires
Remember, if you speak it, express it or voice it, it’s more likely to happen. Be sure to get specific. Here are some examples: “When penetrating me, I want you to look me in the eyes”. Or, “I would like a 15 minutes massage before we begin genital contact”.
Sexual Health
When were you last tested for STI’s (sexually transmitted infections)? What did the test cover? (HIV, gonorrhoea, syphilis, herpes, etc). What were the results? What is the number of people you have had unprotected sex with since you last got tested? What was their sexual health status - did you have the RBDSMA talk with them? Remember: you knowing this information lets you make an informed choice.
Meaning
What does this connection mean to you? Will it still have meaning in a few days or next month? Does it mean you are considering a relationship or is it just a beautiful this-evening- only type of connection?
Aftercare
How do you desire to be followed-up with once this moment of connection is complete? Would you just a hug and kiss goodby at the end of the night? Would you like to go on a walk the next day? Would you like a phone call or text?
