I feel immensly grateful for the deep intimacy shared in the group and highly recommend this experience.”
What’s Play Temple about?
✨ The belief in every being's right to feel into and express pleasure, emotion, movement, curiosity, needs, fantasies, creativity, energy and presence.
✨ The practice of a nondual approach, focused on whatever is present in a non-judgemental way: emotions, thoughts, expressions and all experience alike - are seen as belonging and welcome.
✨ The stand for clear communication and consensual interactions.
✨ The invitation to a transpersonal experience, shedding away perceptions & identities - may creatures be creatures and desires be desires.
You’re encouraged to take initiative and responsibility in your own experience.

Who is it for?
The Play Temple is for conscious and self aware beings of all experiences, genders, bodies, (legal) ages, relationships, sexual preferences and spiritual paths. It’s an invitation to feel into your needs and desires, express them, and engage as much or as little as feels right in the moment.
Play Temple may NOT be for you if
you have not encountered or participated in any form of consent practice or communication, or if you have not engaged with any form of self inquiry, self awareness and conscious self observation.
Play Temple is not for you if you’re uncomfortable interacting with certain people based on your perception of their gender, age, or culture, or if you have a “physical type”.
Play temple may not be a suitable place for a date.
“This was my first Temple experience and I’m so grateful for feeling so safe but also encouraged to explore and play! Will definitely want to join again!”
Meet Your Host
Mx. Gili (they/them) has been hosting and facilitating conscious play spaces since 2018, in berlin since spring 2022 - with a focus on trauma awareness, consent education and conscious relating.
As a student of classical Tantra, Gili’s aligned with an approach founded in love, presence, polarity, ritual and expansion.
These practices are further informed by a Queer understanding of life, sexuality, and gender as abundant spectrums and a commitment to challenging power structures and paradigms which act to indoctrinate and dissociate body from spirit.
Melanie’s Food Philosophy
Let us know if you have specific dietary needs or questions. We're happy to accommodate wherever possible.
Simplicity
We return to the basics: whole, real, delicious food. Nutrition doesn't have to be complicated. Eating is one of the most foundational ways we care for ourselves.
Whole, Nourishing, Delicious Foods
We prioritize nutrient-dense, mostly plant-based ingredients: organic vegetables and fruits, legumes, grains, seeds, and high-quality animal proteins where used. These support energy, clarity, and creativity-perfect for a weekend of embodied exploration.
Savoring the Experience
Food is meant to be enjoyed. When we eat mindfully, we create space for pleasure, satisfaction, and connection. Meals are a time to slow down, nourish, and enjoy.
Value-Based Choices
Food can reflect personal and collective values-like caring for the environment, animals, and local communities. Whether it's sourcing local produce or choosing based on taste, ethics, or nutrition, we support conscious choice-making.
Honoring the Body
We encourage listening to your body's cues-hunger, fullness, preferences. Everyone's relationship with food is personal. We create a space where all bodies and choices are respected.
Whole-Person Wellbeing
Food is just one piece. We also recognize the importance of movement, rest, connection, and emotional and spiritual nourishment. It's all connected.
