Services & Vending

In addition to the Workshops and Events we present, the Temple of the Red Lotus also offers a variety of services in keeping with our mission to promote sacred sexuality. If you are interested in procuring a Temple Qadishti for any of the services listed below, please send us an email. Someone will get in touch promptly to follow up with you and obtain a more detailed explanation of what you are seeking.

Lovers' Path Tarot Deck Readings - Inara de Luna conducts relationship readings using the Lover's Path Tarot Deck. These readings are available to individuals, couples or moresomes.

Private or Public Rituals - The clergy staff of the Temple are willing to conduct personal or public rituals for a variety of purposes pertaining to various ritual aspects of sacred sexuality. Sexual intercourse is not a required component of the Temple's rituals, and all details will be negotiated between the parties involved prior to the ritual date.

Private Consultations - How many times have you had a moment where you wished you had someone to talk to that wouldn't judge you or your partner, someone who would understand the unusual ways you engage in sexuality, or could give you ideas to make your sex life more spiritual? That's what you get from the priest/esses of the Temple of the Red Lotus. It doesn't matter if you need help with the physical aspects of sexuality, or the intimate matters of the heart, or even the mysticism of the spiritual aspects of your sex life, someone here can listen, encourage, advise, hold space, educate....whatever it is you're needing.

Karuna Session - Sometimes what we're needing is someone to envelop us with tender loving care. Karuna is a Sanskrit word meaning compassion. During a Karuna Session, you will be showered with affection and loving care. When you first arrive at the Temple, the priestess will wash and massage your feet, while incense wafts through the room and the sounds of a soothing waterfall lull you into relaxation. The priestess will then conduct a tea ceremony and you will be invited to partake of heavenly morsels. Throughout your experience the focus is on you, on relaxing and letting go of all your cares and worries and responsibilities for a short time, on allowing yourself to indulge in the compassionate care of a priestess who knows we all need to be spoiled once in a while.

NOTE: All of the Temple's services are available to men and women, of any sexual orientation.

COMPENSATION

Long ago, our priests and priestesses were supported by their community, freeing them from the mundane chores of basic survival, so that they could devote themselves full-time to the spiritual caretaking of their community. Most of us today do not have that luxury and must constantly strive to balance our mundane workload with the demands of our spiritual calling and position.

To offset some of that burden, and as a show of gratitude for the personal sacrifices made by our priest/esses, it is encouraged that supplicants, students and others offer an energy exchange of some sort for any services rendered by the Temple’s staff. It is also acceptable to make offerings to the Deity of Love of your choice by contributing something of value to the Temple or Altar of Love.

Note that some services and products provided by the Temple, especially when present at festivals as a vendor, may have a pre-determined price attached. All prices are negotiable and barter in goods and services is often an acceptable exchange.

It is also important to note that sexual contact is not one of the paid services offered by the Temple. We are not engaged in secular prostitution. Any sexual contact that transpires must be safe, sane, and consensual and will be done on a personal level, between mature adults, not as a professional service requiring payment of any kind.

Anyone who wishes to make a monetary donation to the Temple to help us offset the costs of operation, may do so through PayPal.

Your donation is hugely appreciated!

The Temple as a Vendor

Whenever the Temple of the Red Lotus plans on being present and active at a festival, we set up the large "Temple Tent". Sumptuous accomodations, an elaborate Altar of Love, and attentive priests, priestesses and attendants are all part of what makes up the Temple's festival presence. To see what festivals the Temple currently plans to attend, see our Temple Events page. The following text describes what the Temple has to offer as a vendor at the festivals:

Stop by the Temple of the Red Lotus' vending tent for a cup of hot tea and quiet companionship, a soothing massage of the scalp, face, neck, hands and/or feet, an erotic foot washing, or to pick up "supplies". You may choose to spend some quiet time at the altar, communing with the God/desses of Love & Sensuality. The Temple of the Red Lotus offers private consultations of a personal nature on any topic related to sexuality, love, or relationships. Inara de Luna will also be giving readings using the Lovers’ Path Tarot Deck. All proceeds support the work of the Temple, including sponsoring the Village of Greenwood at Dreaming. If you're curious about other aspects of the Temple's work, stop by and talk to us! Or look us up on the web at www.TempleRedLotus.com.
