Before joining the wider community, every new member begins with a one-on-one experience. We believe that meaningful connection starts slowly, with presence, listening, and care. This initial journey allows space for trust to form – for both you and us – before stepping into shared group life.

The One-on-One protocol is a gentle, natural gateway into the Temple of Hugs and the heart of our work. It unfolds much like the beginning of a new friendship, intentionally simple, human, and free of hierarchies, rigid techniques, or prescribed systems. What we offer instead is presence, attention, and genuine human affection, creating a space where healing, personal transformation, and spiritual awakening can arise through the living power of love energy. Every person is unique, and every journey requires the freedom to explore connection in ways that resonate deeply with their own being.

We believe that one of the most noble pursuits a human can follow is to allow themselves to be truly loved, cherished, and appreciated and to offer that same love in return. The deep need to be adored, held, and cherished does not end with maturity; it continues to pulse within every adult. When a person is met with authentic love exactly as they are, and when they offer that love back with equal sincerity, something quietly magical begins to unfold: the heart softens, wounds release their grip, and the soul opens to dimensions of existence that were previously invisible. Love, freely given and freely received, holds a profound capacity to heal, to awaken, and to expand consciousness in ways beyond what the mind can imagine. When one lives consistently within these frequencies of love, a subtle yet radical transformation occurs – the body, heart, and mind align, intuition deepens, creativity flourishes, and the soul begins to recognize its own infinite potential.

During the One-on-One, love is practiced through ordinary, human gestures — being fully present, holding and being held, offering time, attention, and care without expectation. We may hold hands, share hugs, laugh together, listen to music or sound healing, meditate, or simply sit in silence. We speak of passions, vocation, dreams, and the longings carried in our hearts. We share moments of relaxation, create or appreciate art together, and practice gratitude. Nothing is forced; everything unfolds at a pace that feels safe, mutual, and attuned.

In this continuous practice of giving and receiving, of presence, care, and gentle attention, we return to the profound truth of what it means to live fully in love energy. We witness the quiet magic that arises when human beings are seen, adored, and held — the subtle alchemy that softens old patterns, awakens the heart, and opens the soul to its highest potential. Here, in the tender exchange of affection and attention, we discover again and again how to love and be loved, how to heal, how to awaken, and how to live a life guided by the expansive, transformative frequencies of love

Yes, gently and transparently. The selection process is not about judgment or hierarchy. It is about resonance, readiness, and mutual care. Not everyone who feels curious is necessarily aligned at this moment, and that is completely okay.

Step 1: Reaching Out

Your journey begins by contacting us via e-mail, DM on social media or Telegram..
You will be invited to share your intention, a few words about yourself, and your social media profiles. This helps us understand who you are, what draws you here, and whether our values feel aligned.

This step is about openness, not judgment – a first gesture of meeting.

Step 2: The First Conversation & One-on-One Protocol

If there is a sense of resonance, we invite you to a one-hour online call with a guide.
This is a space of honesty and warmth, where you can speak about your life, your longings, your challenges, and your questions. Your guide will also explain how the Temple functions and what participation truly looks like.

If both you and the guide feel a genuine connection, you may then enter the One-on-One protocol — a one-week journey, donation-based, meeting in person when possible (or occasionally online, depending on distance).

Step 3: Reflection & Choice

At the end of the One-on-One, both you and your guide take time to reflect.
We ask a simple question: Does joining the wider community feel aligned and nourishing at this moment?

There is no pressure and no expectation. Some people feel complete after the One-on-One. Others feel ready to continue walking with the Temple. Both paths are equally respected.

Yes, the One-on-One may include affectionate, non-sexual touch such as holding hands or hugging – always with clear consent and ongoing communication.

Boundaries are honored at all times. You are always free to say no, pause, or adjust what feels right for you. Emotional safety comes first.

No. The One-on-One protocol itself is not sexual. While the wider Temple acknowledges sexual energy as a natural part of being human, the One-on-One focuses on presence, affection, trust, and emotional connection — not sexual exploration.

In a world where almost everything is marketed through results, guarantees, and transformations, we choose a different path.

At Temple of Hugs, we do not promise healing, spiritual awakening, happiness, or personal breakthroughs. Not because these things are not possible here, but because love cannot be reduced to an outcome. Human connection is not a product, and affection is not a technique. The moment love is used as a means to an end, it loses the very quality that makes it nourishing.

Yes, science increasingly shows that safe touch, emotional intimacy, and a sense of belonging support well-being on many levels. And yes, many people naturally experience softening, clarity, or growth when they feel deeply loved and accepted. But these are not goals we pursue or results we advertise.

Here, love is not a promise of becoming something else.
It is an invitation to be met as you are.

At the end of the process, both you and your guide reflect on whether joining the wider community feels aligned. There is no obligation to continue. For some, the One-on-One is a meaningful experience in itself; for others, it becomes the doorway into deeper participation within the Temple.

If you feel called to begin, we invite you to reach out through our contact page and start the conversation.

Participation in the One-on-One protocol is offered on a donation basis. We want this experience to remain as open and accessible as possible, while also honoring the time, presence, and emotional labor offered by our guides. Half of each donation goes directly to the guide, helping cover their effort and practical expenses, while the other half is dedicated to building the first Temple of Hugs.

Our long-term vision is to make these experiences freely available to all, once the Temple has grown into a stable, self-sustaining community. In this early phase, however, we rely on the support of those who feel called to help us grow – allowing us to cover basic costs, reach new people through outreach and paid advertising, and take the concrete steps needed to create our first physical temples. In this way, every contribution becomes both an act of care in the present and a seed for a more loving future.
