Love & Devotion Temple

A heart-led temple space in London Welcome to Love & Devotion — a heart-led Temple space ❤️ This is your invitation to 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 ❤️ Imagine... ...embodied, sacred, healing, connecting, grounded, playful, real… a slow build into deeper presence. And also a mirror — where connection becomes a practice and a space for exploration. 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. ⸻ EVENT DETAILS 🗓️ Saturday, December 12th ⏰ 2pm — 8pm 📍 Here+Now, Stoke Newington, London Schedule (approx): 1:50pm — Doors Open 2:15pm — Doors Close (no late entry) 2:15–5.30pm — Landing, Embodiment, Boundaries, Connection 5.30–6pm — Break 6–7:30pm — Free Flow ❤️‍🔥 7:30–8pm — Closing Circle & Goodbyes ⸻ WHO IS THIS FOR?

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, yoga, meditation, shamanism, dance, and embodiment. She has an MA in Dance/Movement Psychotherapy and is a Movement Medicine teacher, working 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 has also been immersed in satsang for more than 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. 📱 Instagram: @movementmedicinewithshivani ⸻ PARTICIPANT LOVE 💛 “The temple provided an environment of non judgement, safety and respect. People valued conscious communication, boundaries and people’s needs. I felt comfortable, childlike, playful, explorative and came out having pushed limits and feeling like a more wholesome human being.” “My temple experience was the most liberating experience that I have ever had in my adult life! I literally fell like a different person. I left feeling empowered and confident in my being and continue to be. When I went to work on the next day my work colleagues noticed a complete change in my energy. I've been forgiving friends whether we remained friends there has been so much forgiveness and letting go. I just feel that it made me realise how important sexual energy and expressing it in a safe way. All the exercises we did really helped me see myself and have many realisations about what my purpose was for certain behaviours. Amazing I would highly recommend it if you want to challenge you sexual energy in a safe space, Chanzi” “This was my first Temple experience outside of formal tantra retreats. I really appreciated the gradual build up through activities and invitations. I learnt new things. Met new people. Had delicious connections. I would love to be back again. E.” "This was a beautifully held temple space by Shivani and her team. Lots of music and movement woven through, with solo and partnered work throughout. I really enjoyed connecting with others. The free flow temple at the end was total bliss and time just melted away. Thank you for a beautiful experience!"
