EROS:
WORSHIPPER VALENTINE’S EXPERIENCE
SATURDAY | FEB 17TH 2024 | SECRET LOCATION | VANCOUVER B.C.






Welcome to WORSHIPPER…
WHERE YOU ARE THE PRAYER & TEMPLE.
Our events are truly unlike any other.
Weaving eroticism, ancient myth, and immersive ritual, our experiences aim to amplify the sacred nature of love and sexuality.
These prayerformances are centered around the erotic retelling of ancient myths, the stories that have offered us ways of understanding love and sexuality, and have often been used against us. When we reclaim these teachings and retell the stories from the lens of empowered eroticism, we can heal the original wounds of the collective sexual soul.
Far from passive experiences, our audience members play integral parts in the event with invitations to become immersed in erotic rituals of love, healing, and reclamation with neo-tantric practices, breath and movement which help us collectively transcend the typical workshop climate.
As always, your consent and desires will shape how you take part in this journey.
EXPERIENCE YOUR INNER LOVER and liberate your Eros IN THESE IMMERSIVE EROTIC CEREMONIES
FALL IN LOVE WITH
YOUR INNER LOVER
In the realm where celestial passions intertwine, a tale unfolds, weaving threads of desire and enchantment.
Worshipper: EROS Edition is a prayerformance dedicated to the divine lover in each of us. But be prepared – this lover isn’t who you think.
The lover you’re seeking doesn’t come from the outside. It’s not someone who notices you or showers you with affection. It’s not one who will whisper in your ears all the reasons you are special. This lover waits for you in the rich honeyed fields of your own body.
It’s time to give it the ritual of worship it craves.
This event will open you, fill you, and leave you more capable of giving and receiving the love that is meant for you.

EROS:
A LOVE STORY RE-WRITTEN
In this Worshipper experience, we are retelling the great love story of Eros and Psyche.
Psyche, a maiden of unparalleled beauty, drew the envy of both gods and mortals alike. Eros, the mischievous yet captivating Cupid, found himself ensnared by Psyche's charms against the wishes of his mother, none other than Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty.
In the clandestine dance between mortal and immortal, Eros, against all divine counsel, surreptitiously allowed his heart to beat in rhythm with Psyche's. However, their love remained concealed in the shadowed corridors of lies and secrecy, where whispers of passion echoed like forbidden melodies.
Driven by jealousy, Aphrodite sought to test the mortal maiden's devotion. She sent Psyche on a treacherous path to prove her love and her commitment beyond all doubts.
EROS: Tasting Forbidden Fruit
As the celestial drama unfolded, the connection between Eros and Psyche burgeoned into a symphony of desire, transcending the boundaries that sought to confine them. This union, like a forbidden fruit, tantalized the very fabric of the heavens, leaving an indelible mark on the cosmic tapestry of the gods. In the end, their love, forged in the crucible of secrecy and trials, emerged victorious, casting a spell that echoed through the ages.
The tale of Eros and Psyche stands as a testament to the intoxicating power of love, capable of defying the boundaries set by the gods themselves. By reimagining the sensuous affair of these two powerful beings as an opportunity to heal the wounds love has left upon us, we will show you how love – when offered from the right place – can put you back together.
Get ready to rewrite a legend with us.

We consider this to be an Erotic Theatre Ritual Experience, where participants are encouraged to explore their erotic expression and sensuality. We’re here to play with sensuality and expression - evoke seduction, flirty playfulness, and creating an environment for your erotic siren, graceful goddess, or commanding heathen to come online.
This is an erotic adventure of exploration with the primary intention being to create a space of sensual expression and liberation with focus on sensuality, romanticism, and playful + sexy fun (and not so focused on sex). We believe that healthy sexuality emerges when the right conditions are created + sex-focused spaces can actually contribute to expectation and pressure.
We recommend those new to these spaces to anticipate being in an environment not unlike Burning Man, where you’re invited to creatively express yourself…through your clothing and adornments, your persona, and your sensual energy.
While our focus is mainly on exploring Eros through performance, light kink and an atmosphere of consent, there will be designated spaces for general talking/connection, cuddling, kink/BDSM play, and a designated room for intimate interactions (with play partners only).
We are an event that caters to the new-to-sex-positive-spaces people as well as the seasoned explorers - which is why we have the UPPER WORLD (our designated level for dance/general connection & sleep), and our LOWER WORLD (with a designated cuddle + kissing only room, kink/BDSM space, and an all the way space for partners only (no voyeurs).
-

We do vet all new to us attendees with our application process to ensure they review our consent + ethics guidelines.

Please apply via the form above along with your application deposit. If confirmed, you’ll receive an email confirmation along with a reminder to pay for remainder of your ticket (your deposit will be applied to your ticket).

There are very limited tickets - to a) keep this an intimate and highly curated experience, and b) because of venue - so we have around 50 Tickets in total and are first-come first serve with either full payment or deposit. Tickets are non-refundable, however if we can find a vetted and aligned participant to take your spot, you can be refunded through a personal transfer.
