LET THE PRIMAL TEACH YOU…
lead you ~ and find you anew….
Our primal instincts are the fire within that brings us to our humble beginnings…as animals upon this Earth. And it is our Primal energy that brings us to edge we long to cross and the force that shapes us. Throughout history, we’ve been taught to deny our impulses, sold the lie that those who follow its call are devils and demons alike. But what if your primal energy is not something to be feared, but a portal into deeper self-knowing and a return back to your Earthly roots?
In this immersive ritual theatre ceremony, together, we step beyond morality and into myth—rewriting the stories of longing and lust that lead us home to our hearts and roots—where our desire is an initiation, our longing a teacher, and the forbidden….
let yourself get FERAL
FERAL is an erotic ritual theatre experience where ancient myth, embodied eroticism, and immersive ceremony converge.
Through sensual prayerformance and myth, we reclaim stories that have long shaped our understanding of love, desire, power, and the body….stories that were once sacred, then distorted, controlled, or used against us. By retelling them through an empowered erotic lens, we alchemize shame into sovereignty and restore Eros as a holy force of creation, healing, and truth.
FERAL is not something you watch. It is something you become.
You are not a passive witness…but instead become an immersed & necessary agent in the awakening storyline.
Guests are invited into a carefully held ceremonial world where breath, movement, sound, and ritual awaken the body’s intelligence. Neo-tantric practices and somatic exploration dissolve the distance between performer and witness, guiding the collective beyond the familiar confines of performance or workshop and into shared presence, sensation, and remembrance.
Participation is always invitational. Your consent, boundaries, and desires shape how you engage…whether as quiet witness or embodied participant.
This is an initiation into the wild intelligence of love. A remembering of your Inner Lover.
A liberation of your Primal Eros — from the shadows — back into the body.
FERAL calls you to feel, reclaim, and embody what was never meant to be tamed.
PAST EVENTS FEATURED IN
WHAT PEOPLE HAVE SAID ABOUT PAST EVENTS
This immersive experience is a call to reclaim what has been buried.
It’s an opportunity to confront and heal the paradoxes within us—the intricate dance between our sexuality and spirituality. For too long, organized religion has sought to sever these twin pillars of our humanity, casting shadows of guilt and shame over our most intimate selves. But here, in this sacred space, we dare to illuminate the darkness.
PARTICIPATE IN SACRED RITUAL
This is not a passive ceremony. You are invited to engage fully, to become part of the ritual.
Through neo-tantric & somatic practices, breathwork, embodiment rituals, and invitations for creative expression, we transcend conventional boundaries, creating a living, breathing testament to our innate divinity.
STORIES OF THE PRIMAL
FORCE WITHIN THAT WILL GUIDE US
Your adventure into longing, temptation and the desires that urge you forward will be experienced through the following stories:
Lilith & the Story of the Disobedient Whore of the Bible: Lilith refused to lie beneath Adam…refused hierarchy, refused obedience, and refused to contort her body or desire to fit a prescribed order. For this defiance, she was exiled from Eden and rewritten by patriarchal scripture as a demon, a seductress, and danger to men and children. The first woman who said no became the first woman we were taught to fear. Over centuries, Lilith’s story was distorted into the archetype of the “Whore” - the sexually autonomous woman cast as immoral, unruly, corrupting. Erotic power became rebellion. Sovereignty became threat.
But Lilith was never evil…she was simply uncontrollable.
In FERAL, we reclaim Lilith as the embodiment of erotic autonomy, and the dark feminine intelligence that refuses to submit to domination masquerading as masculine power. Lilith represents the woman who chooses herself. And through her story we reclaim the masculine that can rise & meet true the true sovereign force of a woman unto herself.
Naughty Noah’s Ark | The Temptation of the Flood, the Flesh & the Unruly Pairing
In this final chapter of FERAL, we enter the Ark as a threshold space: a sanctiary to explore the power of duality, opposites and union.
Meet your fellow journeyer’s in a climatic flood experience, where you bless the instincts you were taught to suppress and step off dry land and into your great remembering.
The Whores of the Bible | The Temptation of Power, Rebellion & Redemption
What does it mean to be a woman who owns her erotic power? What does it cost to be desired? From Babylon’s courtesans to Salome’s dance to Mary the Prostitute’s redemption, these women’s stories are steeped in seduction, survival, and sovereignty. Were they sinners, or were they sovereign? Were they condemned, or were they feared? Through immersive storytelling and ritual, we unravel the ways in which feminine desire and power have been vilified—and reclaim the sacred in our own hunger, pleasure, and defiance.
Special Guest Artist
Introducing the sonic architect of FERAL
A Path Untold is a visionary in the world of , a cartographer of inner worlds, shaping atmospheres where instinct, tenderness, and raw evocative emotion collide. He will be guiding us through the Feral experience with sound, music and pulse.
With over 25 years devoted to exploring the far edges of electronic music, A Path Untold is the expansive musical vision of composer and producer Daniel Merrill, known for crafting a boldly unique sound that binds elements of future garage, breaks, lo-fi house, downtempo, and film scoring aesthetics.

Thematically, his work explores universally relevant dualities: ancient and futuristic, euphoric and melancholic, technological and natural, individual and collective.
For FERAL, A Path Untold will sculpt the immersive soundscape that carries the ritual from shadow into revelation — and post-show, invite our guests into a rare, intimate post-show dancefloor journey.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
A One-Night Immersive Erotic Ritual Theatre Experience
FERAL unfolds over a single, carefully orchestrated evening. Guided by world-class ritual performers, this is not something you sit back and observe. You are part of the energetic field that shapes the night. Participation is always invitational, with consent, choice, and sovereignty at the center.
Guided Sensory & Embodiment Activations
Through breath, movement, voice, and somatic invocation, you’ll be guided into deeper presence and heightened sensation. These practices are woven seamlessly into the theatrical arc of the evening, awakening the body’s intelligence without ever tipping into “workshop” territory.
A Feral Afterparty
Held within a private mansion 20-min from Central Vancouver, the afterparty is an intimate celebration marking the end of an era and the final gathering before Phoenix Amara departs permanently for Europe. Guests are free to wander between curated spaces designed for connection, rest, and embodied pleasure.
Decadent Spread of Appetizers, Dinner & Dessert
Nourishing food will be served throughout the night by our chef, supporting both pleasure and presence, offering foods to nourish every kind of dietary need.
An Intimate Gathering of Kindred Souls
This is a carefully curated circle of seekers, lovers, artists, and edge-walkers ~ people willing to meet themselves and one another beyond performance and pretense. The intimacy of the group is part of the medicine.
Before & Aftercare Integration Support
To support nervous systems and deepen trust, all guests are invited to a 90-minute online pre-gathering to orient you to the experience, answer questions, and establish shared agreements. For those who wish, a 90-minute post-integration circle will be offered online to reflect, process, and ground what was opened during the night.
A Rare Erotic Initiation
FERAL is a one-night ceremonial immersion designed to disrupt inherited narratives around desire and awaken a more truthful relationship with Eros. These ritual experiences are offered only once or twice a year, making this an intimate and fleeting opportunity to step into something truly uncommon. This is the last experience offered by Phoenix Amara in Canada for the foreseeable future.

Absolutely! Many guests choose to simply watch and soak in the experience without participating, and some even leave after the performances. What makes our events so unique is that they’re designed for everyone—whether you’re a seasoned explorer or completely new to this world.
We emphasize that all rituals and immersive activities are purely invitations. You’re welcome to simply sit back and witness an unforgettable spectacle—one of the most captivating, evocative, and sensual performances you’ll ever see. Or, if curiosity calls, you can step deeper into the experience and become part of the unfolding story.
For those who are new or feeling a little uncertain, we offer dedicated spaces to unwind, chat, and connect with fellow attendees after the show. And for the more adventurous? There are secluded realms to explore, including our infamous Massage Temple, the mysterious Divine Dungeon, and the enchanting Lover’s Grove.
No pressure, no expectations—just an invitation to explore at your own pace.

You can find our full consent + ethics guidelines here>>https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DJIA931RQsa8trsviNnFswJByffMNrcRzVPtjop2Res/edit?usp=sharing
We are very enthusiastic about keeping our spaces CONSENT focused, and as such, everyone attending will be brought through a fun & educational overview of consent and our group agreement fields.

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).
-
Not at all. This experience is open to people of all relationship styles, orientations, and expressions. We welcome a beautifully diverse group, striving for a balanced mix of gender expression and dynamics. Our attendees represent a beautiful diversity of expression - from hetero, queer, fluid and more.
You'll find a range of attendees—from monogamous couples looking to deepen their intimacy, to those in open relationships, to singles exploring their desires. Some come alone, some with partners, and some simply to witness and soak in the atmosphere.
To ensure a safe, conscious, and aligned container, all participants are vetted through our application process and must review our consent and ethics guidelines before attending.
Most of our guests are friends, friends of friends, or trusted community recommendations, creating a space where you can relax, connect, and explore without pressure or expectation.

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). If your application is declined (due to being incomplete/not a right fit aka not emotionally, physically, mentally ready for this experience as determined by our organizers) your deposit will be returned to you minus e-transfer fees $3). There are very limited tickets - to a) keep this an intimate and highly curated experience, and b) because of venue - so we have around 75 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.

A preparation outline will be sent to confirmed participants including what to bring and wear.

Our venue is a spacious private residence located in Kerrisdale, Vancouver.
Our gracious hosts are sex-positive creatives who adore supporting the exploration of sexuality, connection, and liberation of eros. There is ample space for dancing, connecting, playing, and enjoying their beautiful home. Address released to registered attendees.
-
Of course! We’re inclusive of orientations and those partnered/unpartnered/open relating folk and monogamous peeps. We do strive for a gender/orientation balance - so we’re not hetero-dude heavy…so apply early to ensure you can be welcomed, as our applicants list is already larger than tickets available.

This experience is about so much more than just physical attraction—it’s about energy, connection, and the deeper pull of desire that goes beyond the surface. Our community is rooted in Holistic Wellness and Sacred Sexuality, which means the people drawn to this space are those who value authenticity, conscious relating, and heart-centered experiences. They also happen to be pretty darn hot (or so we think)…
However, that is not the point.
Rather than focusing on who might be there, we invite you to focus on your own desires—what you want to feel, explore, and embody. When you show up with an open heart and a sense of curiosity, the right connections will naturally unfold. Some of the most unexpected, beautiful experiences happen when we release rigid expectations and trust in the magic of the moment.
Come with presence, not pressure. This isn’t about seeking someone to fit an ideal—it’s about immersing yourself in an experience that awakens something within you. And when you do that, you may just find attraction sparking in ways you never expected.
-
Please note, this is a "conscious consumption" event...we ask for people to be mostly sober so that you can get more out of the event and ensure everyone can access their full YES. What we mean mostly sober - we mean abstaining from average doses of mushrooms, MDMA, Ketamine etc...anything that may alter your ability to be connected to your consent & your experience.
-
Regarding Refunds: It takes an extraordinary amount of effort and time to pull together these very sacred & beautiful experiences - so managing people's plans & changes of plans is not a desire of ours. Not to mention adds another level of complexity.
So we have a no refunds policy; meaning if you change your mind or something comes up in life and you decide not to come, we do not offer a refund. We will of course, be happy to transfer your ticket to someone else (though we ask that you have them still apply and mention in the application that ticket will be transferred. If they are mentally/emotionally fit for Worshipper, we're happy to transfer ticket - we just ask that you two do the financial exchange between you).
In some cases, we can also help find another person to take your ticket - though that is an exception and not guaranteed. Thank you for understanding.
There are very limited tickets - to a) keep this an intimate and highly curated experience, and b) because of venue. We have around 75 tickets in total that are on a first-come first served basis.
