Our Essence
Samsara Temple is a sanctuary for exploration a place where the sacred and the sensual, the mystical and the mundane, can coexist without shame. We gather to remember who we are beneath the masks: divine, messy, curious beings in constant transformation.
We don’t pretend to have all the answers; we make space for questions, laughter, tears, and silence. The Temple hums with authenticity an energy born from radical self-expression and deep listening. You belong here, not because you are perfect, but because you are real. Take off your mask and stay a while. But please when the lights turn on, GO HOME! :P
Decorum & Conduct
The Temple is an organism, not a building its vitality depends on every person within it. We move slowly, with awareness. We honor the spaces we share and the people who tend them.
Decorum at Samsara isn’t about rules; it’s about resonance. It’s how we keep the magic alive. We clean up our messes emotional and physical. We show up on time, in presence, and in gratitude. We balance playfulness with respect, sensuality with safety, and reverence with rebellion.
We are each responsible for the energy we bring, and we remember that every action, every word, every touch ripples through the collective.
The Welcoming Experience
Every time you cross the threshold, you are entering an energetic home one built by many hands, hearts, and prayers.
We welcome you with open arms and open eyes. Whether you arrive nervous or ecstatic, shy or bold, you are seen. Our greeters and guides are here to support your arrival to help you orient, breathe, and feel safe to explore.
You will never be expected to “fit in.” The Temple is not a performance; it’s a conversation. Come as you are, and bring what you need. You can participate, observe, or simply rest in the beauty of presence.
You are part of the current now. Stay connected. Stay enchanted. Stay free.
Culture
You can’t be told what Samsara Temple is.
You have to step inside and see it for yourself.
Every event, every gathering, every heartbeat of this space is its own universe shaped by the people who dare to enter it. There are no spectators here. You are both the dreamer and the dream.
Each person who crosses the threshold brings their own magic, their own truth, their own temple. If eighty souls gather under one roof, then eighty temples are alive at once — each a reflection of the others, each sacred, each real.
Samsara is a choose-your-own-adventure written in breath, touch, laughter, and stillness. To experience it fully, you must be willing to ask for what you want. Speak your desires aloud. Whisper your needs. Claim your boundaries.
This is how the spell is cast — through courage and clarity.
As the old text reminds us: Ask, and it shall be given to you. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and the door shall be opened unto you. (Mark 7:7)
Welcome to the matrix of becoming.
Welcome to Samsara Temple.
Clarity & Expectations
Clarity is love in action.
We believe that clear communication creates the freedom to truly relax and be yourself. Before you touch, ask. Before you assume, check in. Before you enter, breathe.
When we gather, we come as our whole selves body, mind, and spirit. We honor each other’s rhythms, boundaries, and needs. We practice transparency, giving others the gift of knowing where we stand and what we want.
You are never expected to do anything that doesn’t feel aligned. “No” is sacred here. “Maybe” is a full sentence. And “yes” is something to be celebrated, not taken for granted.
Ethics & Accountability
Integrity is our foundation. We believe ethics are not restrictions but rituals of care. Samsara Temple is an anti-oppressive space committed to dismantling harm and hierarchy in all their forms. Racism, transphobia, ableism, sexism, and coercion have no place here.
When harm occurs because it will, as humans are learning beings we meet it with courage and compassion. We engage in restorative practices that prioritize healing, understanding, and repair. Accountability is a chance to return to alignment.
Our commitment to ethics is our devotion in action to each other, to the community, and to the sacredness of every soul that walks through our doors.
If our words create our reality,
our setting does too.
When you walk into our temple expect all of your senses to be stimulated. We are good at making you feel as though you’ve been wrapped in a warm hug and embrace. Depending on the event you are attending, we will have our space det up in various ways. Our favorite is when there are lots of spaces for nesting and plenty of getting cozy close to the floor.
We like to stay low as it’s a means of making you feel grounded and safe.
The lights are turned down low, the music has been curated and set for optimal relaxation. We intrigue the senses with different smells, our favorite scents are: nag champa with scents of musk, patchouli, plumeria, and bergamot and sandalwood. We are here to get every single one of your senses to come out and say hi. We want to entice the your most authentic YOU to come out!
We want you to feel like you’ve walked into another dimension anytime you come out to an event with us. The reason for this is to trick your, oh so loud, monkey mind into letting go and relaxing just a little bit more than if you were under some fluorescent lights getting naked in a changing room. We have a very very hygge way about us, we love warm lit candles and soft things. The purpose of all of this vibe throwing is to allow you the space to feel comfortable, warm, embraced and accepted fully for who you are choosing to be this day. We can’t wait to see you.
