Week 1: Body Image
Week 2: Mapping the Female Body
Week 3: Your Brain is your Best Sex Organ
Week 4: Self-pleasuring

$35/class. For more information and to register, call 612-396-0226 or write to candessa.

Tantric Puja
Saturday, November 21, 2009, 6:30-9:00pm
Share an evening of deep connecting with others as we honor the Divine in each other. A Tantric Puja is a real-world exploration of the dance of masculine and feminine energies where participants see each other in a new light. The puja facilitator creates a container of safety and comfort where participants connect with each other through their eyes, breath, and structured exercises designed to encourage giving and receiving with awakened hearts and conscious minds.

Pujas work best when there is a gender balance or at least an even number of people. For this reason, we invite you to consider bringing a friend/sister/brother/ex of the opposite sex with you instead of coming alone. Open to couples and singles regardless. You do not have to be a committed couple to obtain the discount; just register together for the reduced rates.

What to wear: Tantric Puja encourages adornment of the physical body as a temple of visual and sensual delight. Bring out the god/goddess in YOU! We will be sitting on the floor some, and moving around quite a bit, so dress comfortably. Goddesses: enjoy flowing scarves, belly dance attire, or comfortable evening wear. Gods be creative, with a vest, sarong or special robe or shirt. There is no nudity in a puja, so please, wear something!

Cost: $25/person, $40/couple. The fee is required for registration and confirmation. Please RSVP in advance by emailing Candessa at candessa or calling at 612-396-0226.
