Express yourself fully and completely until and unless
you take away someone else's ability to express themselves
fully and completely.
We invite...
Anyone willing to participate in the open
spin while embracing the Temple
of Poi Flowology Mindset™, at least for the duration
of the play time:
- leave your judgment outside the door
- choose language consciously and make it empowering
- compare yourself to yourself, past to present, rather
than comparing yourself to others

The outdoor gathering is the first wednesday
of the month as a fire jam where we can freestyle and play.

artists/meditationers/practioners of (non-fire) toys including:

While music is playing, you can meet, gather, watch, listen,
learn, teach, share, experiment, have fun and enjoy playing
with each other in this spacious and open warehouse.
In addition, there will also be a Temple of Poi Instructor
on site available for one on one education at no additional
cost beyond the entrance fee. Throughout the evening,
the instructor will work with seven people one on one for

Peer Performance Preview
Some evenings from 10:20 pm, until the end of the night,
there will be an "Open Stage" -- much like an
open Mic -- where performers from beginners to professionals
can get on stage and strut their stuff. In an effort to
support the comfort of our newer performers, performers
will be arranged so that the least experienced artists begin
the open stage followed by progressively more skilled artists.
This is a great opportunity to explore performing in a safe,
judgment free environment.
After each performer does their piece (pieces must be under
3 minutes), the audience will offer the artist feedback
on their performance. When offering feedback, please be
brief, specific, constructive, open, honest, and supportive.
When receiving feedback, please recognize it is information
to assist you in your growth, not an attack on who you are
as a person.
To sign up for a slot during the Peer Performance Preview
section of the night, please email flowrEvperf@templeofpoi.com
with the following information:
- Name
- Tool
- Skill level (beginner, intermediate, semi-pro, professional)
- Performance duration (must be under 3 minutes!)
And remember -- you can come and watch if you like!
