Darkstar Temple Presents

Voyage Into Presence™

Voyage Into Presence™ is a project of Darkstar Temple. Secretly formed in the northern California woods under the stars surrounded by bears and gold veins. Their initial mission was to bring dark-masculine energy to transformational, ritualistic, and healing spaces.

The Darkstar Temple co-founders recruited seven other members; only a few are known publicly. Today, Darkstar Temple designs experiences and rituals in multiple countries, states, and cities for large groups and individual seekers looking for profound, lasting shifts in their world.

Testimonials

"Though my tantric / conscious sexuality journey is short, after 9 retreats and temples I feel confident to say that VIP is the most sexy retreat I have experienced. It was truly life changing and transforming and I continue to reap the benefits in my (love) life. I feel so grateful to have met you and Iryna and more wonderful people through this."
K.Voyage into Presence: Amsterdam
Hey everyone, I want to share that I am so glad to be in the real world after the amazing weekend. I revel and delight in it. I find myself doing things differently. With me taking responsibility for my own desires and boundaries and also acknowledging that people are responsible for theirs my energy turns inward. I feel more present, more embodied, more empowered and more attuned to my wants and likes. Thank you, thank you 🙏
R.Voyage into Presence: Amsterdam
Impeccable in explanation and elaboration. Anytime I ever need to hear a lecture, I'd like it to be from Aaron with his clarity, eloquence, and humor.

I was the most apprehensive about Aaron as a facilitator because of my own mistrust in men. He was so great!! A grounded, playful, SAFE person, he surprised me the most. And contributed toward the trust I’m building toward men in general.
