FAQ:
WHAT IS TANTRA YOGA?
Well, for starters, it's not what you saw in the movie American Pie!
Tantra is thousands of years old and has become a buzzword, which
unfortunately has some misleading definitions. Translated from
Sanskrit, it means "weaving," which we have come to understand as
oneness. Bringing oneness to yourself and consciousness to what you
do. The exercises involving breathing and meditation that are a part
of Tantra are designed to bring you into a state of being more
present. And who doesn't want to be more present, right?
What is a Puja?
A Puja is an intentional ceremony. Translated from Sanskrit it means
reverence, honor, an offering. It is a ritual designed to open our
hearts and allow us to see the inner beauty within ourselves and all
beings. It invites us into the elegant dance of masculine and feminine
in a warm space of oneness and connection--what a great way to start
your first date!
What does it look like?
Participants form two circles facing each other. The men form the
outside circle and the women form the inside, with each woman facing a
man. Each pair then share a meaningful exchange through a directed
exercise (a Puja “station”), which can be for a few seconds or a
few minutes. Then they put their hands in Namaste, thank each other
and--like a speed date--rotate to the next person. The ceremony ends
when everyone has rotated full circle.
What are some of the exercises?
We’ll do some basic connection exercises: breathing, meditation,
light partner yoga, speaking a vulnerability, eye-gazing, dance,
conscious touch (holding hands, hands on heart)… things that go a
bit beyond the obligatory “what do you do/where are you from.” And
you’re always invited to go as deep as you choose.
What if I don’t feel comfortable doing the exercises?
Thanks for asking! We take consent very seriously, and we have a zero
tolerance policy for any inappropriate behavior. While the exercises
are straightforward and fun—and we have been told we do an excellent
job creating a safe container—you are always 100% at choice for how
you wish to participate. Just like in yoga, when you find a pose
you’re not comfortable with, you have the option to modify, or
completely opt out of any exercise. Everyone is encouraged to
participate at their own comfort level, and our facilitators go over
what that looks like at each event, so everyone is clear before we
begin.
So how is this a dating event?
What makes this a "date" is that you get to choose who you enjoyed
interacting with, and we'll put you in touch after the event. We like
to let the women choose. The women will get to sense each man’s
personality and presence and decide who they may want to get to know
better. Men will be instructed on how to be grounded and open-hearted
so they can be felt. We find when we trust the wisdom of the feminine
somehow it all works out.
What is the schedule for each event?
* Doors open at the published start time. That’s when we check you
in and give you your dating materials. Everyone must check in to
participate in the ceremony. A waiting list is made available at the
door.
* 20 minutes from start - we begin to take folks from the waiting
list (subject to capacity and gender balance.)
* 30 minutes from start - we close the doors and begin the ceremony.
Anyone that hasn’t checked in before this time will not be able to
participate when we begin. (See our late/cancellation policy below).
What should I wear?
You'll want to look good but also comfortable. Though we've had some
folks show up after work in suits (and they've managed okay) you want
to be able to move comfortably during the more movement-based
stations. Don't worry about shoes, we'll take those off before we
start. Do make sure you have good hygiene, and groom yourself as you
would to prepare to interact with potential dates.
Is there food or drink at the event?
There is no food or drink provided at the event (unless it’s a
special occasion). It’s a good idea to bring a bottle of water. You
could bring a snack for before or after (note that some venues may not
allow food). However, you will have only a short moment with each
date, so you probably won’t want to eat during the ceremony.
What is the gender balance at the event?
We do our best to aim for an equal gender balance at each event. So
far just about every event has been sold out, and since we have an
equal number of tickets per gender, we've had a near-perfect gender
balance at each event. (We also use door sales to balance out gender).
What is the average age range?
We haven’t limited any of the events to a specific age range. So far
it has managed to work out every time; there are always plenty of
dates for everyone. On occasion we may have one or two stations with a
wide age gap. But, interestingly enough, participants report that that
works out too. It seems that connection itself can be quite healing,
sometimes especially so when there isn’t a romantic interest.
Imagine that! However, if you’re into numbers and absolutely must
know, email us with the date and location of your event, as well as
what age range and gender you're interested in, and we'll let you know
how many people are within your preferences.
How many dates will I have?
Up to 20 dates (sometimes more for special events). Each event can
accommodate approximately 40 participants, so assuming a perfect
gender balance, everyone would have a maximum of 20 dates.
I saw the event posted without a lot of RSVPs. Will there be enough
people?
So far, just about every event has sold out, often with a waiting
list. The event is posted in multiple places, and some forums get more
traffic than others, so don’t worry if you see less people RSVP in
one place than another. We wouldn’t proceed with an event if there
weren’t enough people to make it worthwhile.
Do I have to be single to attend?
One would imagine! We realize there are many classifications of
relationship status these days. So as long as you are available to
meet a romantic partner, you are welcome to attend. If your situation
makes it so you are not open to meeting someone (for instance, if
you’re in a monogamous relationship), then it would not be
appropriate for you to attend.
WILL THERE BE AN LGBT VERSION?
While this current iteration of TANTRA SPEED DATE IS GEARED TOWARDS
MEN-seeking-women and women-seeking-men, there has been discussion on
how to adapt the concept for various orientations and genders. We
haven't quite figured out the logistics of how that would work, but
we're open to suggestions.
WHAT IS THE CANCELLATION/REFUND POLICY?
We want you to have a great time at our event. However, life
happens, and sometimes you can't make it. If you cancel 24 hours or
more before the event you can get a full refund via EventBrite. If
you cancel within 24 hours of event start time (or you are late and
miss the ceremony start), we can move your ticket to the next event as
a one-time courtesy, provided you give us email notice. If you are
late again or cancel last minute a second time, the ticket is forfeit.
Either way, make sure to notify us via email before the event
starts, as we cannot offer any refunds or transfers after the event
has started.
CAN I GIVE/RE-SELL MY TICKET TO SOMEONE ELSE?
Tickets are non-transferable. Please do not sell your ticket to
someone else; it confuses the system and people don't get their proper
matches. You can request a refund or be moved to the next
event (see above). However, in any case, please let us know so we
can open up your spot to someone else. No notice, no
refund/transfer.
CAN I SIGN UP MY FRIEND?
You can, but you MUST fill out THEIR NAME and THEIR EMAIL
ADDRESS and details on the attendee form. Otherwise we will not be
able to check them in properly, and they will not receive their
matches.
WHAT IS THE TANTRA INSTITUTE?
The TANTRA INSTITUTE’s mission is to empower people to connect more
consciously using the tools and teachings of (primarily) TANTRA. We
hold multiple events [https://tantrany.com/?aff=tsd], such as our
