Demos, Dancing & Debauchery
Sept. 12 to 16, 2025
Are you a Temple/Play Party enthusiast?
Do you find yourself falling in love with the magic of these gatherings, wishing for more time to connect, play, and explore?
Do you long for a space where pleasure, curiosity, and self-expression are not only welcomed but celebrated?
Maybe you’ve dreamed of being “risqué” in New Orleans—a city unlike any other, where creativity, music, and sensuality pulse through every street.
Or perhaps you’re someone who loves to dance with abandon, letting the music move you in ways that feel freeing, playful, and deeply alive.
And if you’ve ever thought, Why can’t these play parties last longer? Why does it always feel like the night ends too soon?—then this event was designed with you in mind.
Join Us for an Unforgettable Experience
Monique Darling, Peter Petersen, Reid Mihalko, and the ever-charming Major Tom invite you to a 4-day immersive play party experience that will leave you nourished, liberated, and deeply connected.
And as a cherry on top? You’ll also be celebrating Monique’s birthday—New Orleans style! Imagine dancing, laughing, and toasting to her special day in the most sassy and playful way possible. Monique will even take you on a tour of her favorite parts of the city—we’ll make our own parade!
This isn’t just a weekend getaway. It’s a masterclass in living boldly, where connection, exploration, and pleasure take center stage. Immerse yourself in the vibrancy of NOLA while indulging in your fantasies, deepening relationships, and stepping into the most authentic, fully expressed version of yourself.
What Awaits You:
Over these four unforgettable days, you’ll experience:
- Instructional erotic classes & demos: Dive into practices like sensual touch, Tantric massage, and kink, designed to expand your pleasure and connection.
- Late-night comfort food: Midnight snacks like fried PB&Js and grilled cheese to keep the fun going strong.
- Field trip to the “naked grotto:” Spend an afternoon soaking in a heated pool, lounging in a hot tub, and connecting around a fire pit.
- Multiple play spaces: From daring, curated play zones to non-erotic areas for cuddling, meditating, and having meaningful conversations.
- Dance and movement sessions: Whether it’s Qigong, freestyle dance, or Latihan/Naughtyhan, there will be space to awaken your body and let it move freely.
- Authentic Relating games: Led by the incomparable Major Tom, these games will deepen connections and ignite your curiosity about others.
- A supportive team: On-hand emotional support for when feelings arise or you just need someone to listen or cheer you on.
All genders, bodies, and orientations are welcome. Whether you’re trans, queer, or simply seeking a space where your unique self is celebrated, you’ll feel held, honored, and appreciated.
