A Tantric Ground Event
Dates for next Puja’s
Sept 27, 2019
150 Main St., Studio Helix (3rd floor Thornes Market), Northampton, MA
6:30-10pm
A ‘Puja’ is a ritual prayer. Borrowed from Eastern traditions, its used to honor a sacred event or diety. In tantric communities in the U.S. it has become synonymous with a structure for building individual and community connection.
What makes this Puja sacred? It’s sacred because we decide to call it sacred. Then we invite our open hearts, a reverence for life, eyes that are capable of seeing the beauty in the world – and we create a bit of heaven here on earth.
This is Tantric Ground’s Introductory event – facilitated by Kristen Chamberlin. The first hour will be community building activities and learning skills around boundary setting that make for a successful Puja. The Puja itself begins halfway through the evening.
What you can expect:

• Laugh, cry, be amazed, have aha’s, be inspired, feel healed and have a heck of a good time making new friends.
• Build the basic skills for intimacy – the ground work for further tantric study.
