Worshipper presents:

Temptation

AUGUST 7-11TH 2025, BC

AUG 7TH - 11TH 2025 | SECRET LOCATION | ANDERSON LAKE  B.C.

A Three-Day Adventure in the Great Outdoors: Ritual. Storytelling. Sensual Exploration. 

Step beyond the veil of the ordinary and into a world where myth and desire collide. TEMPTATION is not just a retreat—it’s an initiation into the ancient, untamed forces of Eros. For three days and nights, under open skies and wilderness, you’ll walk the edge between sacred and profane, reverence and surrender, ecstasy and restraint.

This is an immersive experience woven with ritual theater, embodiment practices, and deep ceremonial play—all set in the heart of nature. Through myth, movement, and intimate exploration, you will face the archetypes of seduction, power, and longing… and emerge transformed.

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 or stories that have offered us ways of understanding love and sexuality, but have often been used against us. When we reclaim these teachings and retell the stories from the lens of empowered eroticism, we heal the original wounds of the collective spiritual & 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.

AS FEATURED IN

  • "Worshipper expanded my ability to unpack and unpair many assumptions I hold about sex, sexuality, sensuality and desire

    and how to hold these in sacred presence with like-minded humans, with consent and boundaries that felt safe and nurturing. It was healing to me to learn that there is an expansive space to explore sexual and sensual desire outside of what I've been taught sex is.”

    • Worshipper Devour Participant, Sept 2023

  • "I had an emotional release when I let go of the shame of hurting people

    that I cared about when my ”good boy” act was not reciprocated with love in the past. I cried as someone held me during the last act, and we danced ourselves into bliss afterwards. I felt immense pleasure from being devoured as a human dessert platter.” - Worshipper: Redemption Participant, May 2023

  • "I was surprised to discover some desires and connection about connecting with some of the women there,

    even though I have not felt that before. I was surprised by how comfortable I felt wearing sexy clothing in front of others. I was pleasantly surprised by some honest conversations I overheard and was part of, with people acknowledging their attraction for other another in a blunt and upfront way.” - Worshipper Redemption Participant, May 2023

  • "A memorable frame was being included in the cast photoshoot and the

    pre-performance moment we shared, it was special to feel included and part of the team and also to feel like my outfit was super fire. I enjoyed contributing throughout the evening to the show/meal and being part of the troupe. Dancing with my partner who looked absolutely gorgeous and playing with a beautiful suede flogger on the dancefloor.” - Reflections from a Worshipper: Redemption Participant, May 2023

  • "I already knew I liked being subby in the right space, but this really solidified how good it feels for me

    to just be bundled in happy brain-empty subspace. Getting a lot of practice negotiating scenes was wonderful, I actually really enjoy the process. I'm hoping to practice more with a close friend soon, it will be interesting to navigate our current relationship and add a kink element to it, without being sexual. I'm interested in the process :)” - Worshipper Devour Participant, Sept 2023

  • "I didn't expect to enjoy licking chocolate off strangers,

    but I was really all for it.” - Worshipper Participant, Nov 2022

LET TEMPTATION TEACH YOU…

lead you ~ and find you anew.

Temptation is the fire that reveals. It is the edge we long to cross and the force that shapes us. Throughout history, those who follow its call have been both demonized and deified—temptresses, seducers, rebels, and saints. But what if temptation is not something to be feared, but a portal into deeper self-knowing?

In this immersive, three-day experience, we step beyond morality and into myth—where desire is an initiation, longing is a teacher, and the forbidden is a key to awakening.

Through ritual theater, embodiment practices, and sacred storytelling, we will explore three iconic stories of temptation—each revealing a different facet of its power.

STORIES OF TEMPTATION

THAT WILL GUIDE US

Your adventure into longing, temptation and the desires that urge you forward in these four days will be experienced through the following stories:

The Sirens & Odysseus | The Temptation of the Senses…Desire as the call to surrender—or the test of self-mastery.

Odysseus, tied to the mast, hears the Sirens’ song—a seduction so potent that sailors are willing to perish just to reach its source.

Where in your life do you long to abandon all control? Where do you resist the currents that would carry you deeper? Through song, embodiment, and a sacred baptism ritual, we explore the magnetic pull of pleasure, the fear of losing oneself in desire, and the initiation that comes when we stop fighting the tides.

Red Riding Hood | The Temptation of the Wild, the Forbidden & the Devouring
Who is the predator? Who is the prey? Who do we become when we stop fearing our own instincts? The Wolf waits in the woods. Red Riding Hood steps off the path. The moment she does, she begins her initiation—one that will end with transformation.


This final chapter invites you into a deep, sensual exploration of power, surrender, and play. What does it mean to taste the forbidden? What happens when we stop running from the hunger inside us? Through ritual and a closing circle, we integrate the lessons of the weekend and claim the parts of ourselves we have been taught to fear.

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.

Teaser from a past Worshipper

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.
