The Gathering

Think of a home-cooked meal, made together with intention and love.
All ingredients are provided by Temple Nova — it is not a potluck.
The meal is co-created, meaning we prepare and cook it together as part of the experience.
It’s a practice of togetherness and embodied nourishment — a way to feed both body and belonging.
All dishes will be dairy-optional and gluten-free.
If you have other dietary needs or allergies, please reach out to Casey in advance so we can accommodate you.

Latihan is a surrendered movement practice — a meditation in motion.
There’s no choreography or guidance. You simply allow life, breath, and energy to move through your body as they wish. It’s an invitation to let go of control and discover what moves you.

Tandava is a slow, meditative movement practice that invites the body to be moved rather than directed. Instead of “doing” a dance, you become the space in which movement naturally arises. It’s subtle, spacious, and deeply grounding.

People describe Tandava as:

• gentle and trance-like

• spacious and dissolving

• relaxing, sensual, or quietly ecstatic

• a way of dropping into presence without effort

But there’s no “right” way for it to feel. Each practice is unique.
 

The Gathering is a co-created, presence-based temple — a space devoted to truth, tenderness, and attunement.
 

Sensuality and erotic energy are welcome if they arise naturally, but they are never expected or required. The temple isn’t designed around sexual interaction; it’s designed around authenticity — the felt honesty of being with ourselves and each other in the Mystery.

Some nights the temple feels soft, sweet, and deeply nourishing.
Other nights it may feel charged, alive, or quietly ecstatic.
We let the space follow the natural intelligence of the group.

Above all, it is a temple of presence.
 

A place where beginners and seasoned practitioners alike can relax, listen, and meet one another with openness, curiosity, and care.

If The Gathering is your first Temple Nova event, please connect with Casey at least 48 hours before the event for a short drop-in to ensure mutual alignment.
You can book a Discovery Call here.

Bring what helps you feel at ease and fully present.
Comfortable clothing, a blindfold, and perhaps an altar item if you feel called.
You’re welcome to bring a snack to share, along with anything that helps you feel comfortable, sensual, or playful in temple — a shawl, soft fabric, or item that awakens your embodied presence.

Come rested, nourished, and hydrated.
Arrive on time — the opening circle anchors the field.
You’ll be guided every step of the way; there’s nothing to perform or get right.
Simply bring your body, your breath, and your heart.

Yes. You’re welcome to join for part of the day, as long as your arrival and departure flow in harmony with the space.
We simply ask that you arrive before or between ritual spaces so as not to interrupt the energetic container — either by 2:15 pm for the opening and Latihan, or between 4:30 and 8:00 pm before the Temple begins.

The exchange remains the same regardless of how long you stay.

We’re exploring how this rhythm feels for now, and it may evolve in future Gatherings.
