About this event
🌊🐚🫧 Below the Surface — Temple of the Deep
An underwater tantric temple at the heart of the Mankind Festival.
Step beneath the surface and enter a world of glowing currents, saltwater rituals, soft bodies, deep breath, and radical honesty. A space where the ocean becomes a mirror; sensual, playful, mythic, alive.
Below the Surface invites you into a guided journey through connection, presence, eros, and embodied intimacy. Together we descend from the shoreline into the deep: through breath, movement, eye contact, sound, touch, and free-flow exploration.
This is not a performance space.
There are no spectators here.
You are part of the ocean.
🐬 🐋✧🐟⋆ Expect:
• an immersive underwater temple world
• guided tantric practices and connection rituals
• glow-in-the-dark body paint & blacklight atmosphere
• music journeys, oceanic soundscapes & embodied movement
• a held and consent-centered container
• playful intimacy, softness, honesty & wonder
• a sensual free-flow space during the later part of the evening
At Mankind, the temple is held as a sober and softer container:
Underwear stays on throughout the evening. Touch, closeness, cuddling, kissing and sensual connection are welcome. No full nudity or explicit sexual play.
Directness is one of our core values.
We encourage speaking plainly:
“I want.”
“I don’t want.”
“Yes.”
“No.”
“I’m nervous.”
“I’d love a hug.”
Consent is alive, ongoing, and celebrated.
🫧🧜🏻♀️🪸 Come as your inner sea creature.
Pearls, scales, flowing fabrics, sailor energy, glowing accessories and ocean-inspired adornments are warmly welcomed.
Bring:
• a water bottle
• something comfortable to wear
• an open heart
• curiosity instead of expectation
21+ only for the evening temple.
The deep is calling.
