Love & Devotion

Welcome to Love & Devotion — a heart-led Temple space ❤️

Summer times inviting another Love & Devotion Temple — a sanctuary of connection, aliveness, dance, embodied meditation, tantra and conscious sensuality ✨

A Temple of love, devotion & pleasure 🔥 rooted in the body and led by the heart — where breath, sound and movement invite us into deeper connection with ourselves, each other, and life itself. 🌺 Where every part of us is welcomed and included ❤️

✨ What does your body want?

✨ What does your heart long for?

✨ What delights your playful spirit?

✨ What nourishes your soul?

Imagine: playful, sacred, healing, connecting, real… a slow build into deeper presence.

And also a mirror — where connection becomes a practice and a space for exploration.

Rooted in safety, embodiment, consent and care, this Temple is an invitation to soften, trust and receive. To include all parts of ourselves, allowing ourselves to be seen and to be met.

Imagine spaces devoted to touch, truth, beauty, being seen, play, devotion, connection and eros. 😉 A Temple where we can explore pleasure in its many forms, and expand our capacity to receive and rest in the yumminess of it all.

WHAT TO EXPECT

We will begin with movement, playful connection and embodied practices to arrive, land in ourselves and attune to one another.

Through movement, somatic awareness and relational exercises, we create a foundation of presence, safety and self-awareness — followed by a free-flow space with beautiful stations and invitations to explore different kinds of pleasure and connection, where you are free to follow what genuinely nourishes you.

The journey is not about leaving ourselves behind in the pursuit of intensity, but about bringing more of ourselves into every encounter — body, heart, truth, desire and humanity.

You can choose to engage at whatever level you feel called to, at all times. 🙏

The Temple will be held throughout by Shivani and an experienced team of assistants.

This is a pants-on space — so we can start slow, stay present, and explore connection in its many possibilities.

Eros, pleasure and life-force are welcome here — and this is not an explicit sexual event.

The intention is to bring ground and authenticity, presence and embodiment — so that we can experience more love, freedom and pleasure in a conscious way, while giving our wildness safety first.

ABOUT SHIVANI

Shivani Soares is an energy magician, a dancer, a tantric priestess, and a deep feeling human being. Her journey has been about embodiment, being undone, and remembering one’s essence — in truth, authenticity and freedom.

Starting with a degree in Medicine, her research in healing has taken the shapes of tantra massage, yoga, meditation, shamanism, dance, and embodiment. She has an MA in Dance/Movement Psychotherapy and is a Movement Medicine teacher, having worked with individuals and groups in Portugal, the UK, and Bali.

She lived in Tamera Healing Biotope and studied with Sofia Sundari, Elaine Yonge, ISTA School of Temple Arts, and the Embodied Awakening Academy — diving into the mysteries of the body, conscious sexuality, ritual, tantra, feminine embodiment and pleasure. She also studied non-duality for a decade with Mooji and Ganga Mira in Portugal.

Shivani brings that depth and knowing into her sessions — whether 1-1, Temple Nights, workshops, or tantra & yoni massage. She is passionate about creating spaces that are safe enough, grounded in presence, and that allow our natural wisdom and aliveness to come forth. Wild, yet connected and relaxed.

“I loved the temple space that Shivani held! I felt authenticity, trust, safety, passion, support and a humanness with Shivani, that led to such an amazing experience. This temple space created, gave me the opportunity and freedom to explore in a beautiful way.”
