Translated from Sanskrit\, it means “weaving\,” which means bringing oneness to yourself and consciousness to what you do.\nIn keeping with this philosophy…\nWe do our best to bring you and your dates into a state of presence . When you’re in this state\, our guided exercises will light that “spark” for you – no awkward small talk needed!\nPlus\, you’ll learn how to bring that level of presence into all your future interactions.\nSo grab your ticket and get ready for a fun night of speed dating\, matchmaking\, and conscious relating!\n* Events do sell out\, so purchase tickets online to guarantee your spot.*\n~ IMPORTANT DETAILS ~\n* Please arrive on time to check in and receive your speed dating materials.\n*The speed dating ceremony begins 30 minutes after start time. Doors will be closed for the duration of the ceremony. LATE ARRIVALS WILL NOT BE ADMITTED.\n*Door tickets are subject to capacity and gender balance limits. Tickets are non-transferable and cannot be sold or exchanged.\n*Please note this is a sober event. We want you conscious for the amazing dates you will have. If you arrive inebriated you may be asked to leave.\n~ COVID-19 INFORMATION ~\nWe follow government and venue guidelines that are in effect at the time of the event. These can change\, so please check with your locality. All activities can be modified to be socially distanced (ask your facilitator). If you have flu-like symptoms\, or have been exposed\, play it safe and stay home. Just let us know and we’ll refund or transfer your ticket so you can come another time.\n~ TESTIMONIALS & SUCCESS STORIES ~ ~\n” We couldn’t have imagined how our lives would be impacted by attending Tantra Speed Date® in July 2017. Our connection was soft and sweet\, what we both describe as the ‘best first date of our lives.’ Meeting in such a vulnerable and safe environment was the perfect catalyst for creating an authentic connection. Having that as the base for our first meetings laid the foundation for honesty and trust. ” — Jihan & Joseph\n~ FAQ ~\nDon’t see your question answered below? Check out the FAQ section on our website!\nWhat is Tantra Yoga?\nWell\, for starters\, it’s not what you saw in the movie American Pie! Tantra is thousands of years old (of Hindu and Buddhist tradition) 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. Exercises involving breathing and meditation are a part of Tantra and are designed to bring you into a state of being more present. And who doesn’t want to be more present in their relationships?\nWhat is a Puja?\nA Puja is an intentional ceremony. Translated from Sanskrit it means reverence\, 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!\nWhat does it look like?\nParticipants 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 together in ‘Namaste’\, thank each other and–like a speed date–rotate to the next person. The ceremony ends when everyone has rotated a full circle.\nWhat kinds of exercises are there?\nThe exercises are non-romantic\, based in human connection: verbal exercises\, light partner yoga\, dance\, breathing and meditation\, eye-gazing\, 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 are always invited to participate however you choose.\nWhat’s unique is that each exercise has a kernel of positive relating skill. So you’re practicing helpful relationship skills while you’re having fun!\nWhat if I don’t want to do an exercise?\nThanks for asking! While the exercises are straightforward and fun\, you are always 100% at choice for how you wish to participate. If you find an exercise that doesn’t work for you\, then–just like in yoga–you have the option to modify\, or completely opt out. Everyone is encouraged to participate at their own comfort level\, and our facilitators demonstrate what that looks like\, so everyone is clear before we begin.\nSo how is this a dating event?\nWhat 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.\nWhat is the schedule for each event?\n-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). You also receive a playing card for our Ice Breaker game. You’ll have until the ceremony begins to play the game.\n-20 minutes in: We begin to take folks from the waiting list (subject to capacity and gender balance.)\n-30 minutes in: The Ice Breaker game concludes and we close the doors to begin the ceremony. Anyone that hasn’t checked in before this time will not be able to participate. (See our late/cancellation policy below).\nWhat should I wear?\nYou’ll want to look good\, yet also be comfortable enough to stand\, move\, and sit cross-legged. There isn’t a tremendous amount of movement; we’ve had folks show up after work in suits and they’ve managed okay\, but you want to be comfortable to move. Don’t worry about shoes\, we’ll take those off before we start.\nAnd remember\, you’re going on a date. So do make sure to groom yourself and have good hygiene appropriate to interact with potential dates. *Please no strong scents as some are sensitive to that.\nIs there food or drink at the event?\nThere 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. And\, there is no alcohol (so please do not arrive drunk) as you want to be conscious for your dates.\nWhat is the gender balance at the event?\nWe don’t believe in leaving anyone out of the fun\, so we do our best to aim for an equal gender balance. Of course\, it isn’t always 100% under our control–even our matchmaking powers have their limits. But so far\, just about every event has been sold out. And since we have an equal number of tickets per gender\, they’ve all had a solid mix of singles ready to mingle! (We also occasionally use door sales magic to balance the gender too.)\nWhat is the age range?\nSome events have a suggested age range (noted in the title and description) and some are open to all ages. If you see an age range\, know that it’s not a hard and fast rule. If you’re slightly outside the range\, or want to meet people in that range\, you are welcome to attend.\nOur open age events are the most popular: Singles 30-45 tend to be the largest group. Followed by folks 45+ and then 20s. The youngest person ever was 19\, and the oldest 76–yep!–and he received a standing ovation.\nBut here’s the thing. It’s more than just about the dates. And this is what makes Tantra Speed Date unique. Singles everywhere rave about how the experience itself can be quite transformative\, regardless of their matches. Why? Simply engaging consciously with other singles in a positive and structured way promotes more healthy relationships. And it just plain feels good to connect with real people. You likely have never experienced dating in such a fun and comfortable way. You’ll gain confidence\, pick up new skills\, and will likely start to attract more quality people into your life. That’s what our participants say over and over again!\nHow many dates will I have?\nUp to 20 dates. Each event can accommodate approximately 40 participants\, so assuming a perfect gender balance\, everyone would have a maximum of 20 dates.\nWhat if I don’t match with anyone?\nAs many of our attendees say\, “I don’t even care if I match with anyone\, this was amazing!” That said\, we geek out on data. Our statistics say there is a 94.05% chance you’ll match with AT LEAST one person. But if for whatever reason the probability fails you\, we’ve got you covered. Your next ticket will be free!\nI saw the event posted without a lot of RSVPs. Will there be enough people?\nNot to worry! Just about every event so far has sold out\, often with a waiting list. We do a great job getting the word out and therefore the event is posted in multiple places. And some forums simply 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 for everyone.\nDo I have to be single to attend?\nOne 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.\nIs this a heterosexual event and is there a Queer/LGBTQ Tantra Speed Date?\nThis current iteration of Tantra Speed Date is geared towards men-seeking-women and women-seeking-men. In the ceremony\, we will form two circles: one for men and one for women. That means if you attend\, you will have to choose which circle to participate in. For example\, if you’re in the men’s circle\, you’ll go on up to 20 dates with each woman in the women’s circle. And vice-versa. We also have a Queer version of the event which happens from time to time in select cities. You can check our website to see if there are any coming up.\nWhat is your cancellation/refund policy?\nWe 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 miss the second event\, then sadly your ticket becomes 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.\nCan I give/re-sell my ticket to someone else?\nTickets 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\, you must let us know so we can open up your spot to someone else. No notice\, no refund/transfer.\nCan I sign up my friend?\nAbsolutely! And thanks for sharing it with your friends! However\, do be sure to fill out their name and their email address on the attendee form. Otherwise we will not be able to check them in properly\, and they will not receive all the wonderful matches they’ll make at the event. If we had a nickel for how many times your friends email us wondering where their matches went… well\, you get the picture. So please. Do your friends a solid and fill in their proper details.\nWhat is the Tantra Institute?\nThe Tantra Institute’s mission is to empower people to connect more consciously using the tools and teachings of (primarily) Tantra. We hold multiple events\, and work with singles and couples to help them increase their capacity for intimacy\, authenticity\, and pleasure. All our events are listed on our website: https://www.tantrany.com/. Subscribe to be kept up to date with our latest offerings! (Make sure to select your city so we only send you events that are geographically relevant!)\nI had an amazing time\, how do I learn more?\nMost people do! If you’re in New York\, come to our other events\, visit us Facebook\, or Subscribe to be kept up to date with our latest offerings!\nWhat other events do you offer?\nAside from Tantra Speed Date\, we offer workshops to help increase intimacy and connection for both singles and couples. You can learn about our other offerings on our website: www.TantraNY.com\nWhy is this experience called ‘More than Dating’?\nThis event is more than just a speed date. It’s about bringing more connection\, and perhaps healing\, to the masculine and feminine within us. That’s the juicy part of a connection that makes relationships so fun. Men learn how to hold a grounded masculine space. And when that happens\, women can relax into their feminine and not have to do or hold so much. This creates a new way of relating that is easeful and connected\, and not something you can ever experience in a bar or on a dating app. We believe this is why people love it so much and why one participant said it will ‘restore your hope in dating.’\nMore Questions?\nContact us\, we’ll be happy to tell you more about this event or others.\n~ FACILITATED BY: Huiying ~\nHui (Hwee) is an acupuncturist and constellation facilitator based in Boston advocating for living our highest truths and claiming our life force by healing the body\, mind and soul.

SUMMARY:A Course in Miracles
DESCRIPTION:A Course in Miracles: each week we begin our exploration by reading the short introduction which includes these words “the course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim however at removing the blocks to the awareness of Love’s presence which is your natural inheritance.” \nHas any other subject been written or sung about more often than love? Isn’t it the organizing principle of all religions? So popular and prominent in our daily discourse\, yet so elusive. And don’t we yearn for an alternative to fear\, guilt and hatred\, suspicion and divisiveness?\n\nWhether a beginner\, a student of many years\, or an on-again/off again inquirer\, you are invited to join us in seeking to learn how to love and enjoy being in love. It’s not a solo performance.  Only together\, is love manifest.\n\nhttps://commonstreet.zoom.us/j/91709436048?pwd=eXpvM2dpYlhPNE1aNGE5cEFtOER4Zz09 \nMeeting ID: 917 0943 6048\nPasscode: 695321\nOne tap mobile\n+13017158592\,\,91709436048#\,\,\,\,*695321# US (Washington DC)\n+13126266799\,\,91709436048#\,\,\,\,*695321# US (Chicago)

SUMMARY:Natick Music Makers
DESCRIPTION:What:  Natick Music Makers  \nWhen:  First Fridays\, 7-9pm \nWhere:  Common Street Spiritual Center\, Upstairs \nHow much: Cost; 100% of your $10 entry fee goes to the center to support its mission* \nWho:  You & Us!! ? \nHello! We want to play music with YOU! \nIf you have a basic musical ability (play an instrument\, know your chords)\, We welcome you to bring your instrument; guitar\, bass\, drums\, keyboard\, ukelele\, voice\, and more – for a night of playing songs together. We’ll finish out the night with a jam. \nPoint of the event is to have fun and make music together. There is little expectation beyond that. \nFormat of the event:  we’ll play relatively easy songs which are 3-5 chords. We’ll have a list to choose from for this event\, and we’ll cast them on a screen / or have on poster-boards\, so everyone can see the chords and lyrics. We’ll draw numbers from a hat @ 7pm and that will be the order of those wanting to lead a song. If you just want to play\, then just play! \nGenres include but not limited to Rock\, Pop\, Folk\, Blues. Typically\, we’ll be mostly in 4/4 time to keep things simple. I’ll start off the 1st song to get us warmed up\, then we’ll take turns leading a song (optional if you desire to). \nNote: we’ll play mostly “clean” in terms of sound\, but some basic pedals / effects are permitted such as Wah\, Compressor\, Reverb\, Delay\, etc. Ear plugs will be available. \nAlso Note:  respectfulness of everyone’s ability level is expected\, kindness is appreciated. This is for fun\, and there is no expectation that the songs will sound like the original nor do we really desire for it to. \nKeep your alcohol and drugs and pets at home. \nWe’ll take a break about halfway through to socialize and munch on snacks. \nIf you have any questions\, you can reach me by email: MrDaveStewart@gmail.com \nHope to see you there! \n\nNatick Music Makers \n\n  \n*Free if you’re a member of Common St. Spiritual Center.  See this link if interested: https://commonstreet.org/membership/
