...The Temple Body…
​
The Temple is always with Us for the Temple is within 'Us'.
​
We are all part of the Greater Temple
A body of Devotees.
Be it to Sacredness or Profanity
Devotion, always, to Something.
​
This 4 day ceremonial event explored the possibility that we, each of us, are the sadhu's.
We are the Teachers, Students and Agents of our mutual Liberation and Incarceration.
​
Through Ritualization our exploration of exponential, experiential exercises
culminated in one final, unique and paradoxically common practice of
teaching us how we might support & hold each other while letting go.
