...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.
