A recurring workshop for anyone who wants to remember what it feels like to actually play; not perform, not manage, just play.

We work with the noble arts of play fighting, roleplaying, and a fair amount of general silliness. Underneath the fun, there's real skill being built: how to set a boundary and mean it, how to read someone else's, how to say no without over-explaining and yes without hesitating. Play turns out to be one of the fastest ways to practice all of this: your body learns it faster than your mind ever could by thinking it through.

No experience necessary. You don't need to be flexible, extroverted, or any kind of "physical person"… You just need to be willing to try. Everything here is an invitation, never a push: you're always the one who decides how far, how much, how loud.

Come curious.
Leave a little lighter.

18+ · Experienced temple-goers only · Application required

This is not a workshop, not a festival, not a party. It's a living temple: a full day of ritual, connection, play, and open free flow. Sacred and mischievous in the same breath.

Ludere: to play, to perform, to trick, to jest. Long before religion, before culture, there was play: sacred, serious, transformative. Temple Ludamus is built on that foundation, where the sacred and the giddy belong in the same breath, and you're invited to be utterly, completely yourself.

The day moves through connection rituals and games that are anything but trivial, into a shared dinner, and a co-created evening ritual built around this edition's theme. From there, the space opens into free flow, different corners of the room holding different invitations. Follow what calls you: playfully, sensually, lovingly, or further, if that's genuinely where it goes. Nothing here is guaranteed or scripted in either direction; the room finds its own shape. We close together.

Because of that range, this space is only open to experienced temple-goers. After ticket purchase, you'll receive a short application, which I review personally to make sure it's the right fit.

"The feeling of being apart together in an exceptional situation... retains its magic beyond the duration of the individual game." — Johan Huizinga, Homo Ludens
