Dark Tantra Temple

How we hold the room

Every gathering rests on the same foundation. These aren't slogans — they're how we run every event.

• Consent-first

  Nothing happens without an enthusiastic yes. Boundaries are asked for, respected, and easy to change at any moment.

• Trauma-informed

  We move at the pace of the nervous system. You never have to explain yourself to slow down, pause, or step out.

• Body-inclusive

  Every body is welcome here — every size, shape, ability, age, and experience level. Beginners belong.

• LGBTQIA+ welcoming

  All genders and orientations are celebrated. This is a space to be exactly who you are.

• Temple Monitors present

  Trained monitors hold every deeper gathering, watching over the room so you can drop in and feel safe.

Three distinct containers. Enter at your own pace.

Each tier has its own access requirements — White is open to all; Pink and Red require membership and the consent course. Each is a different level of intimacy and intensity.

White

Workshops, performances, social gatherings, and more. Clothed and non-sexual. Beginners welcome.

Pink

Touch, breath, and sensation. A step deeper than White, at a soft to medium intensity.

The Inner Temple: A Men's Circle — Anger

Knotty House · Richmond, TX

**The Inner Temple is a men's circle at Dark Tantra Temple. The men who sit here are Kinsmen.** Once a month, men gather in a room to tell the truth about their lives and be witnessed by other men who aren't there to fix them. That's the whole thing. Everything else is structure built to make that safe enough to actually happen. **This month's theme: Anger.** What's your relationship to your anger? For most men, anger is the only emotion they're ever really allowed — so it ends up carrying everything underneath it: the grief, the fear, the hurt, the parts that never got a room to land in. This is a night to feel it honestly and see what it's been standing guard over. No one here will tell you your anger is bad, and no one will tell you to just let it out. You bring whatever the question opens. **Optional warmup — Rage House (before the circle).** Anger lives in the body, so this month we're starting with an option to move it. Beforehand, meet at **Rage House HTX — 15825 Bellaire Blvd. Ste. D, Houston, TX 77083 — anytime between 5:00 and 7:00 PM.** Smash some things, get it out of your body, then we reconvene at Knotty House (less than 10 minutes away) for the circle at 7:30. This part is completely optional and you come whenever in that window feels right. Book your own session directly at **ragehousehtx.com** (sessions run about $22–$67), wear closed-toe shoes, and follow the venue's rules and waiver — you attend Rage House at your own pace and on your own ticket. Skipping it is fine; the circle is the main event, and you're just as welcome coming straight to Knotty House at 7:30. **The circle runs on five agreements**, spoken aloud every time: Consent is the floor. What's said here stays here. We witness, we don't fix. Bring your body. Speak from the "I." No experience needed. If something in you needs tending, this is the front door. **Friday, September 11 · Circle 7:30–11:00 PM · Knotty House, Richmond TX (just outside Houston) · capacity 12.** *(Optional rage-room warmup at Rage House HTX, 5:00–7:00 PM beforehand.)* By donation — $10 suggested, not required. No man is turned away for not paying. Reserve your free seat below. *This is peer support and men's development, not therapy or a substitute for it. If you're in crisis, please reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.*

In their words

What members say after being in the room with us.

• “I have had multiple sessions with Pocketz, as well as attended several events over the last couple of years. Pocketz truly is a Master at intuiting what you need, and he will deliver!! I trust that I am safe and free to exist exactly as I am when I arrive to a session/event. He will take the time to listen to your needs and ask questions to give you the exact experience you need at that time. I would recommend any/all services events hosted by the Dark Tantra Temple, Master Pocketz, or Miss Fay! I love this community, and am forever grateful to have found a place within such a welcoming and supportive space.”
