HOLY TOUCH
A TEMPLE OF EROTIC NOURISHMENT
held by thomas tournant & danielle d’arcy
A series of 3 full day immersions
into the Art of Devotional Bodywork
Saturday 5th July
Saturday 2nd August
Saturday 30th August
12pm - 10pm
Body Conscious Studio, Belfast.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
For couples, lovers, friends, beloveds.
This temple is for those who seek to honour the body as oracle, temple and teacher.
Who long to explore deeper realms of intimacy with themselves and with others.
It is for those who wish to experience what it is to touch
and be touched by the divine
through the art of devotional bodywork.
We are inviting you to an intimate place
of willingness and surrender,
sovereignty and trust.
A place of
vulnerability, tenderness,
authenticity and depth.
A place of
nourishment and pleasure.
What this temple experience might offer you.
HOLY TOUCH IS A FULL DAY IMMERSION
We will begin in a workshop format with live demos and embodied consent and intimacy practises.
Together we will explore somatic awareness, how to listen, trust and follow the wisdom of the body.
How to slow down our touch and cultivate deeper states of presence and attunement with each other.
Allowing the body time to land, unfurl and slowly open into pleasure.
In the evening we will finish with a soft and sensual bodywork temple where you will be giving and receiving with your partner.
THIS IS A SPACE OF PERMISSION
-
• Everything is welcome and nothing needs to happen.
• At no point during the evening will you be asked to to anything that you don’t want to do.
• In every moment your level of particIpation is up to you.
• Instead of forcing you to open, we invite you to learn how to embody yourself so much
that you know when it feels right to open and when it doesn’t.
To know your yes and your no.
To know how to listen to and communicate the somatic mother tongue language of your body.
WHAT THIS IS NOT :
-
The devotional bodywork framework we will be using is sensual and can be erotic by nature -
but we will not be facilitating sexual connection.
Your Facilitators
-
Mercenary of life, seeker of truth, for nearly two decades i have been committed to studying somatic (body) expressions through trainings and experiences with many different modalities.
Some of these modalities include: body work, yoga, circus, breathwork, music, classical and neo tantra, temple arts and psychology.
I have a deep love and reverence for the human experience in this juicy flesh which has lead me to humbly wanting to share the pieces that I have gathered.
I have come to this work because I believe in the need to transcend desires for more depth and sacredness of connections in touch when it comes to meeting Eros.
Presence, care, awareness and consciousness are nested in my intentions, allowing tor the most authentic expression of desires to emerge.
With experience and wisdom, I bring my touch in service to desires and longings, loving or deep.
I facilitate massage and cherish - mind, body and soul.
-
I am a witch, a writer and a daughter of Érui.
I work as a somatic sexologist and devotional body worker and have been guiding groups in embodied ritual for over a decade.
I hold workshops, retreats and er0tic temple nights in Ireland and abroad.
The work I do is in service to life, to love and to matter. To soul and to soil.
I support those who wish to come home to themselves - to land more deeply here, into the flesh, blood and bones of their bodies.
Those who long to find safety within, to slow down, to unfurl, unwind and open to life.
To pleasure, to their inherent aliveness.
Join us.
We will hold three separate day immersions this summer - each will journey with a different aspect of devotional bodywork
You can book in for one,
two, or all three if you want to go deeper.
The Holy Touch Temples will be held at Body Conscious Studio - Botanic Avenue, Belfast.

ARRIVAL
We begin at 12pm, please arrive before 11:45 so that we can start together and on time.
We will be journeying deeply and keeping our breaks short so we invite you to come well fed and ready to dive in.
* NOTE *
This is a sober event - we reserve the right to refuse entry to any one who shows signs of having consumed alcohol, plant medicine or drugs.
-
FOOD & REFRESHMENTS
We will be providing cacao, fruit, light snacks and refreshments throughout the day.
Due to the nature of the practises we recommend you eating light - but the venue is located on a busy street with many cafes and restaurants so you are welcome to wander and nourish yourself in our short breaks if you wish.
We also invite you to bring any food you might want to enjoy and share with the group.
-
WHAT TO BRING
Please wear comfy clothes that you can easily move in - and perhaps a change of clothes for the evening - anything that makes you feel beautiful.
Bring a sarong, a towel and your favourite oil.
We also welcome any sensual items you may have - this could be feathers, silk, lace, fur, anything that catches your eye and makes you think - yes, i would love to feel that on my skin.
All of this - and - simply, come as you are.
Looking at the world around us, we believe in the importance of gathering and coming together in these ways.
Now more than ever.
Taking time outside of our every day lives to slow down, resource and connect to ourselves and those around us.
To open new gates of nourishment and intimacy for the body, heart, mind and soul.
For anyone who might be on the fence for these offerings;
if you feel the call but would also like to ask questions;
if you would like to find out if these are the right fit for you;
or just hear more about what it is we will be doing - please reach out.
If you feel your YES, we want you to be there.
