Think speed dating without the dating aspect. (More like Tantric Authentic Relating). The goal is connection, pure and simple! This is an opening to beginning-level Tantra. We are creating a ceremony of worship and connection to help each other grow, expand, and interweave the best parts of ourselves for a few minutes at a time. The benefits of practicing intentional connection include increased feelings of trust and closeness in current and future relationships, less isolation and more social connection, decreased anxiety/depression, and more capacity for love and affection. You are invited to hold space for one another, wrap your arms around them, slow dance, slowly connect, and experience closeness through true unconditional intimacy regardless of age, race, skin color, gender, sexuality, identity, or any other preconceived notions. Every song has been thoughtfully chosen, with lyrics to match a song-length journey of mindful practice of unconditional care for another person. Take turns providing and receiving hugs, hand holding, neck massage, heart-to-hand contact, and about a dozen other opportunities for connecting through touch. Another term for this intimacy circle/ceremony that you will participate in is a ‘Puja’. In Sanskrit, this word used by Buddhists, Hindus, Sikhs, and many others means reverence, honor, homage, adoration and worship. This is a ceremony to honor a very special occasion, a sacred ritual of connecting to the wisdom of the divine and channeling through any gods, Gods or Deities that you may believe in or wish to visualize. This is an opportunity to practice opening your heart to unconditionally give and receive care and closeness.
