the ministry

Temple is all of us. It is a cocreation space, and each Temple is brought to life with the energy of the participants. However flow needs structures to move through, and those responsible for holding the ongoing Temple Project are Eve X and Sai Jaiden Lillith, partners in love and creation. Both respected sxxuality practitioners, educators and artists living magic, they are the humans behind The Australian School of Sexuality, Sacred Primal Arts, Infernal Desire Machine and Canto V Films.

Each Temple will feature a unique constellation of Temple Guides and Temple Artists,

selected for their unique resonance with particular ritual framings.

Eve X is a multimodal erotic artist with a background in food and knowledge. She is the founder of Sacred Primal Arts, The Australian School of Sexuality and Tantric Kink Australia (forthcoming). First entering the sex industry in 2000, she has since worked across many parts of the industry.

Eve is best known for her provocative and profound erotic performance art with Sai Jaiden Lillith; they have been appearing regularly on stages in Melbourne and Sydney since 2019 as Infernal Desire Machine.

Eve has held over 60 sexuality education spaces since 2019. She is a regular educational presenter with OzKinkFest and Sexpo / LoveX, and co-owner of Alter Space.

Eve’s work is deeply embodied; informed by queerness, neurodivergence and chronic illness. It is also deeply transpersonal; weaving politics, ecology and spirituality into the story of the body.

Eve's commitment to Temple Culture is deeply entangled with her spirituality and ethics, embracing both Jungian archetypal philosophy of godwork / shadowplay and many different spiritual lineages. A 'colonised body' forged of many bloodlines, Eve's work incorporates gender, ancestry and land, reimagining culture and connection, as well as reclaiming the role of sexwork within Temple Culture.

Sai's journey with the spiritual and esoteric began when they drowned as a child, and encountered an awakening which has been at the core of their practice and philosophies;

There is no sin

Only love

A Professional Dominant and engaged in multiple facets of the Sex Industry since 2016, their first encounter with Shibari as a rope bottom was deeply transformative. Sai's journey since has been committed to holding spaces where others can have the opportunity to have transcendental experiences.

A practitioner of chaos & sex magick with a background of deep rationalism and a love of science, Sai's integration of reason and magick informs their practices.

A wild and deeply feeling soul, Sai flourishes in the depths, in extremes of being; deep sadism and unconditional love, in the fire and in the shadows. They have no hesitation about plumbing the depths, and there is little which they shy away from in their practice, an' it harm none.

A rigorous sense of ethics and care frames their practice, and they are known for creating deeply safe spaces for explorations of the edges.

WILD VELVET
temple PRIESTEX

A jungle woman from the South Pacific, Wild Velvet’s connection to the untamed mysteries of nature pulses through every aspect of her work. Her presence ignites a celebration of authentic Eros, where all expressions are revered, and none are confined to a singular form or norm.

A practitioner of Tantra, Neo-Tantra, and tantric kink, she weaves ritual and embodied experiences into her practice, guiding those she touches to uncover the raw, primal beauty of Eros.

Wild Velvet dances between the extremes—between the shadows and the light, where dark seriousness and laughter exist in harmony. Eros, in her hands, can be a deep, ceremonial force—profound, mysterious, and transformative. It can also shift into a playful, light energy, overflowing with cheekiness, and joy. Her essence holds space for both and everything in between. Her performances, rituals and guided practices illuminate the infinite ways Eros manifests, reminding us that each human carries their own unique expression of desire, love, lust, sensuality and sexuality.

An advocate of a sex-positive world, she creates spaces where Eros is free, transcendent, and utterly unbound.
