In Tantric study, the body is the temple. The Sensory Palace is ‘temple time’, set aside for ‘awakening the senses’ .
Sensory Palace
Studio Helix
150 Main St., 3rd floor Thornes Market

April 27th, 2018
6:30-10pm
This will be a great opportunity for fun interactive ways of connecting with our senses of taste, sight, sound, smell, touch (by permission only) and our kinesthetic sense of movement; in sacred space. We will serve and be served. Couples and singles welcome. This is an intimate, lightly sensual, not sexual event. Everyone is always at choice.
Here’s what we are going to do:
________________________________________
A Sensory Palace, created by Kristen as one of Tantric Ground’s core offerings, will be a place for juicy, soulful singles, and couples to:
• Learn principles and practices of Tantra, yoga, movement and meditation.
• Be in a room with folks who are willing to be honest, and open hearted.
• Experience deep connections with those interested in tantra, sacred sexuality, conscious relationship, spirituality, embodiment – people like YOU!
Building Skills for Body Awareness and Intimacy _________________________________________
(whether you are single or in relationship):
This special evening will begin with community building exercises with many invitations to connect with each other in light and playful ways — always with the opportunity to go as deep as you choose. Single or coupled, you’ll experience many ways to say ‘hello’ and get to know one another, mingle and connect.
The Sensory Palace itself will begin part-way through the night. We’ll break into smaller groups, for which there will be a structure offered for ‘awakening the senses’ . You will have ample time to co-create within your small groups. You’ll always be at choice and encouraged to ask for 100% of what you want with a willingness to negotiate.
Invitation to Relax
Once the formal part of the evening is over, there’ll be time to dance, hang out, snuggle, relax, process, and rest.

1. What if I’m in relationship? Being in relationship definitely does not exclude you from coming to the Sensory Palace. This ritual is an invitation to connect with yourself in the presence of others – and you will be at choice as to how you do that. There are typically a mix of singles and couples at the events.
2. What should I wear? Please be comfortable but also celebratory! Wear yoga pants or something with a draw string around the waist; bring sarongs, scarves, dresses, etc.
3. Do I need to bring anything? Yes, FRIENDS!! And your water bottle. You are also welcome to bring healthy snacks to share during and after the event.
