The Garden of Mystic Lovers presents…

~When Darkness Devours ~

12/6/25

7p-1a South Austin

*6:30-7pm arrival ~Doors lock at 7:05pm

In the passing shadow of the cold full moon, meet me in the garden, there we shall commune. With blood dripping in satisfactory delight, we shall play with our darkness and bathe in the light. Life and death, one does not exist without the other and on this sweet night we shall worship one another. Seduction and stillness, moving through the dance. The mystery is rich ~ will you give it a chance? 

First, What is The Garden of Mystic Lovers?

This will be our 3rd edition of this artfully co-created evening for our community to gather in sensuous delight, self expression, yummy connection, and divine celebration. A place to laugh, learn, embody and immerse ourselves in a life of artistic aliveness. It is grounds for generously watering each other with our loving presence and exquisite attunement. A reminder to slow down, notice and celebrate our continual unfolding. A panties-on temple to explore our curiosity, dissolve our shame, express our truth and return to the healing magic of play.

Oh do I have a delicious night planned for you my love. This is not your average pink temple evening, but rather an immersive, experiential evening of sensation, play, mystery, connection, entertainment and erotic expression. Read on to learn more…

What this evening holds for you:

  • The evening will begin with guided group practices of embodied connection and ritual to get us warmed up and to support group cohesion, safety and synergy.

    This is long night, so through out the evening you may indulge in a decedent food spread or cozy up in the tantalizing tea lounge for an intimate conversation or break.

  • Enjoy a sensuous performance of Erotic Jazz Cabaret by the Muse of Muses, Jade Fusco and lovely erotic pianist Tosin ~ sure to bring you laughter and delight while bringing your erotic fantasies to life.

    We will wind down the night with My Eros As Art ~ An Erotic Open Mic open to all guests. Poetry, dance, song, ritual, the sky is the limit. What hidden part of you is ready to be seen? *Email/Text Santi to be added to the line up

  • Through out the evening, you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in interactive sensual playshops. These differ every GML and will be announced to ticket holders before the event.

    In this space, we emphasis transpersonal pleasure - expanding our relationship with pleasure and bringing openness and curiosity to how it might enter into our field in new and surprising ways.

Whats Included?

Decedent food spread, NA beverages, ceremonial tea host + lounge, guided playshops and connection experiences, live erotic jazz cabaret, and performance art from your peers in the erotic open mic.

What does my payment go towards?

Your ticket purchase goes towards the venue space, decor, the loving purchase and preparing of the food, our mystical musicians, a ceremonial tea hostess, and our hostess with the mostest, Santi (who is pouring all of her generated income from her mix of sacred offerings into building a sex-positive retreat space). So, alas, it is indeed for a very good cause and we hope you feel equally nourished from this divine exchange!

FAQs

  • “Panties-on” means that while lingerie is celebrated for this sensual event, everyones bottoms/underwear will remain on and therefor genitals will remain covered the whole night. This also means there will be no penetrating of genitals in any way.

    Here in the Garden of Mystic Lovers, we honor and recognize the genitals as sacred, powerful, magical parts of our body ~ we’re just not exploring them directly in this space ;)

    You’re invited to explore just how much delight and sensation you can awaken with the rest of your body, presence and energy.

    Cuddles, teasing, kissing, caressing, spanking and allllll the other creative ways you may wish to explore and play are welcome :)

  • While there are certainly similarities, what makes The Garden Of Mystic Lovers a temple is our heart centered intentionality and presence as well as our collective reverence and prayer.

    We acknowledge that while this space brings opportunities for great pleasure, connection and joy - it is also a sacred space where deep healing and transformation can occur simultaneously.

    AND that this isn’t just for us individually, but rather we offer up this healing for something beyond ourselves. We gather to heal the collective. We play to re-write stories for our families and ancestors. We express our Truth to set everyone free. We love our whole selves and each other to heal the world.

  • To build a safe, sexy group container - I am asking that everyone arrives between 6:30-7:00pm and doors will lock at 7:15pm. This ensures we can all drop into sacred space together and create a synergistic group cohesion with everyone there and not having people arriving in the middle of the experience. Thank you for understanding.

  • Dress theme: When Darkness Devours

    Colors/Vibes : Vampires, the eternal lover, life/death, red/black, blood, seduction

    Lingerie is encouraged but not required ofocurse. Wear layers to begin and you will have a guided moment to shed how every many layers you desire (while keeping panties on ofcourse ;)

  • The exact location will be sent out via text in a group chat with all of the attendees but the venue is located in South Austin near William Cannon and Menchaca.

  • You can bring:

    • a water bottle

    • play items like floggers, feathers, blindfolds, etc.

    • What ever you need for open-mic if you’re sharing

    • Items to place on the Community Alter for the evening (if you desire)

    • anything else to make yourself comfortable :)

      *There will be lots of food, water, tea & NA beverages provided

  • Yes, this will be a sober space ~ free from alcohol, drugs and medicines. The intention with this is to bring our full presence and explore what comes up for us (wether challenging or pleasurable) without the support of other substances so that we may expand and deepen in our relationship with our self, our parts, our stories, and with each other.

    *Smoking tobacco is ok outside
