Meet temple
At its core, temple is a play space.
Temple is a safer space to explore the intersection of mind, body, spirit, and artistic practice.
Temple is conceived, designed, and built to be a vessel, a container, a sacred place, a sanctuary, and a body in and of itself.
Temple is built on the principles of mutual respect, consent, safety, permissibility, inclusivity, equality, freedom of creativity, and self-expression.
Temple is founded to make space for a variety of practitioners to perform their work. These practitioners and their practices are the foundation that grounds Temple in place.
Temple is specifically constructed to accommodate suspension work.
Temple is located in Bushwick, NY
The “House of Three Beams” emblem refers directly to three steel support beams that span the room, anchored to the walls of the space, just below the roof.
Temple provides space for Artists to practice a variety of work including but not limited to Shibari, Conscious Body Movement, Kink, BDSM, Ritual, Curated Experiences, Installation Art, Performance, Photography, Video, Guided Meditation, and Sonic Immersion.
We strive to create a space for cultural crossover where collaboration between artistic disciples is encouraged and enhanced. We believe that artistic and spiritual growth are born of these spaces of interaction and cross-pollination.
Temple offers education through workshops, demonstrations, immersive experiences, and directed training sessions. By giving space for experienced practitioners to share their knowledge, expertise, experience, and skill, Temple provides a safe place for Initiates to engage with new information, expanding on their existing experiences and understanding.
Temple strives to adhere to the Kink Educators and Producers Code of Conduct. Community agreements can vary from event to event and we ask that you are mindful of them.
Similarly, we ask that you hold yourself, us, and the rest of the community accountable when incidents happen. You can always reach out to us directly, or fill out our Incident Report Form.
We are dedicated to working through incidents following the Transformative Justice Model whenever possible, and we hope to build shareable resources rather than canceling, punishing, shaming, or perpetuating harm.
