Inspiration
Ancient Greek warriors came to the Temple of Aphrodite where the priestesses would rehumanize them before they returned to their families. Today we all feel like world-weary warriors, our nervous systems jacked by the chaos of living in the challenging times. SSSTaR feels the call to reanimate this meaningful experience by embodying a gender-transcending Love Priestexx and their Temple Arts of Love.
Love Priestexx Welcome
When you first arrive at any of the events this week, beginning with Dee’s, Wedenesday Worship “Yoga Eros”. During Saturday Love Priestexx Workshop, you will learn this craft and develop the way of doing it that feels good to you…so that you can welcome the pilgrims to the Temple of Aphrodites, in full Priestexx costume (we will provide some white Grecian dresses, but you can order your own if you want to keep yours).
Rather than the disorganized pre-liminary time, participants who walk in would find themselves invited in a lush environment accompanied by Kerry’s live sound healing, where they will be greeted lovingly by a Priestexx who will co-regulate, soothe, listen, and answer whatever questions they have to create space for grounded growth
Love Priestexx Orientation
A core principle and purpose of the craft of a Love Priestexx is “Leading with Love”. It acknowledges that when we first meet someone individually (for the first time or after an absence) or collectively in a workshop or temple, it is a powerful moment of becoming. “Ritual time” begins the moment we take someone's attention. How we spend those crucial moments will shape what is possible in this sacred meeting… whether it is a whole new relationship, a date or meaningful encounter, or a whole festival or workshop.
Thus, this moment (and perspective and workshop!) is best described as an “orientation”, in that it is not only an intention and embodied mindstate… but also an embodied experience that guides the subject in the direction we co-creatively choose. Furthermore, this scales infinitely from tiny loving kindnesses you can offer yourself internally to massive sex rituals and culture change.
