Discover Gili Jala: Permissionist, spiritual weirdo, cultivator of queer, conscious, curious, creaturehood; host of Conscious Play Temple

Gili Jala (they/that weirdo) spent about 15 years nomading before making an unplanned landing in Berlin in 2021 - opening up a juicy web of connections, and a space to root, dream, and build. A natural-born misfit with a taste for the sacred and the sideways, Gili plays in the spaces between presence and performance, surrender and choice, identity and dissolution. A student of Classical Tantra and a longtime facilitator, they create through intuition, precision, and a deep trust in the wisdom of what’s already here. They don’t treat healing as having something to fix or pleasure as something to chase. They invite a kind of radical companionship with whatever shows up: grief, desire, awkwardness, numbness, joy... as a way into deeper contact: with self, with others, and with the spaces in between. Everything belongs. Gili has been hosting Conscious Play Temple in Berlin since 2022.

What is Conscious Play Temple and what inspired the creation of this project? What’s your intention behind?

Conscious Play Temple is a body positive, sex positive, kink & spirituality positive Space of Permission. 
It was born in Chiang Mai (Thailand) in 2019, conceived from a longing for a spiritually grounded event that includes sexuality - while celebrating the magic that arises when playful cuties of all bodies and genders, pleasure spectrums and relating styles, ranges of experience, intentions, and views arrive together in a shared field of permission and play.
In other events I’ve attended, I noticed that I was missing on the one hand a deeper dive into presence and conscious practice, and on the other - my queer weirdo friends. And so, much of the intention was to blend these missing ingredients in one space that also celebrates all the classic highlights of conscious play nights. And more :)
