Void Temples
DISSOLUTION
A temple event exploring - void embodiment - and the fertile nothingness from which all life is born
EAST LONDON, UK
November 9th :: 5pm - 10pm
In intoxicating trance we sink beneath the surface into the deepest state of being.
Without agenda, without shape, without a knowing of where it will lead us.
A homecoming :: where all dissolves into one.
during this temple we will dissolve, reemerge and nourish into the primordial depths from which all life is born.
This is an offering to the vast, hidden core within all things.
Not the polarised absence of light, but the full, fertile emptiness that permeates existence; the still centre of a black hole, the nourishing dark of the womb, the surrendered exhale that follows a lifetime.
We will move slow,
Slower,
And even slower.
Dissolution is a space that seeks to cultivate an intimacy that goes beyond the realms of sexual;
it is an exploration of what lies beneath polarity and attraction-based meeting.
When the void is present, a space can open where the bounds of separation dissolve, and true,
nourishing life-force can awaken.
what to expect
Dissolution is a slow temple experience where you can dissolve into pure primordial presence.
You can expect guided practices to guide your body and psyche into the void frequency; through slow movement, image-rich visualisation, and somatic explorations we will journey with self, easing into group, and merging into one.
A temple is a held, contained space where humans can come together
to explore connection, presence, truth and intimacy.
Our Void Temples are non-sexual, non-penetrative spaces; they are not a space where we aim to have sexual connections
That doesn’t mean that there won’t be any eros, connection or arousal present; it is natural for life-force to arise and move when we drop into layers of the body, and voidy embodiment can be deeply sensual by nature.
However, our workshop & temple space is not one that focuses on following sexual or erotic energy; rather we are seeking to sink through the habituated patterns of the body and psyche into a space of non-duality and zero-agenda, where the truth of this moment can gently, honestly, and freely reveal.
Everyone can move at their own pace. Every exercise or practice is an invitation only.
Everyone can choose how deeply they want to engage in every moment.

Brighid’s work and offerings to the world are all anchored in the premise of gnosis; that each of us carry within us the precise wisdom and medicine needed for our own revolutionary path. It is through sinking into the truth of our own experience as it reveals moment by moment, that we can rest into the core of who we really are.

Kaya & Brighid share a longing for a world wherein we can all meet in a space of deep listening, gentle attunement, and pure aliveness; a space in which we are guided, moved, and informed by the deep inner knowing that lives within us all.
The Void Temples are an expression of their mutual desire for ceremonial spaces that hold this frequency of the void at the centre; where the masks, roles, stories, and habits can fall away, revealing the true, vibratory nature of our rich inner life.
Through body, through heart, through a simple gaze…may we learn to soften our edges, slow down to a pace that is true and honest, and embrace a quality of unknown & mystery that can only be available when we truly surrender into nothingness.
FAQs
-
Absolutely! Many people (whether they’ve been to a temple before or not) arrive feeling nervous, shy or unsure of what to expect. It’s a little bit part of the whole experience. We could write out the exact syllabus of what we’ll be doing and still you couldn’t prepare for the unexpected. Just like life itself! Please note that you will never be pushed to do anything you don’t want to. Your pace, your boundaries and your consent is fully respected.

We will gradually move into exercises and practices that include touch, but specific touch is not necessarily the focus of this workshop/temple.
We do work closely with experiencing the void through body and soma, so touch is inevitably a part of that.
But, not touch in the sense of bodywork or massage.
More in the sense of exploratory meetings with different parts of the body, with an emphasis on non-duality and neutrality.
-
No. Nudity is not necessarily ‘banned’ from the space, but nor is it really a part of the practices we will be exploring.
-
Yes, all humans are welcome in the void :)
-
Tickets can be refunded through eventbrite 5 days before the event. Within that window, you can gift your ticket to someone else if you wish - please just get in touch with us to let us know.

No. The Void Series temples are non-s/xual, non-penetrative spaces. Underwear stays on at all times. Eros, arousal and intimacy may arise naturally and these are welcome when consensually expressed, but there is no goal or expectation of sexual interaction.
-
No. These immersions are beginner-friendly. Everything will be guided and explained as we go.
AND it will also be a rich experience for those who are familiar to temple spaces. -
The Void is the fertile nothingness at the heart of all existence. The place from which everything arises and to which everything dissolves. It is not emptiness in the sense of lack, but a fullness that holds all potential. Think of it politically as the still point in the centre of a black hole, the deep silence between heartbeats, the womb before creation. Or simply, a stillness that feels really f*cking good.
-
Because in the Void, the noise and stories of the mind can become quieten. The layers of identity soften. We meet a truth beyond roles, beyond the push and pull of life. This deep rest can replenish your energy, open new levels of intimacy and return you to your most essential self.
-
Some experience it as spaciousness, a dissolving into warm stillness. Others feel an ecstatic pulse or a sense of being held by something vast and loving. The Void meets each person differently, offering what they most need in that moment.
