General FAQs
We get a fair amount of people that are new in our introductory events. We pride ourselves on helping all newcomers feel safe, secure and welcomed. We would consider this to be one of our specialties. If you are feeling nervous, please email or call us so we can answer your questions and help you feel at ease. We want you to feel at home here and make sure you are comfortable.
All adults are welcome to attend our events no matter your gender, sexual orientation, relationship status, race, ability or size. You can come alone, with someone, or with more than one person. If you attend with someone, you are welcome to stay exclusively with them or do practices separately.
In our LovePassionately seminars, we offer times of whole group interaction, exercises in small groups, dyads, and triads. You are free to choose your level of participation in whatever we suggest. Most partnering is done randomly, by trusting the universe to provide the perfect “divine choice.” Couples may stay together the entire time or choose to work with others as you choose.
Often, significant learning and growth is gained by partnering with those that you might not usually choose. We see this as an excellent opportunity to break free from old patterns and expand your awareness and learning. Understanding your boundaries, limitations, and authentic full participation in each moment is an essential part of what we offer.
We hold diversity to be inherently of value, and invite adults and youth (18 and over), of all races, ethnicities, physical abilities, spiritualities, socioeconomic backgrounds, sexual orientations, all along the gender spectrum, to build community with us. We welcome those who come in a good way with a good heart, a good mind and a ready body. We strive to be respectful and inclusive of one another, welcoming preferred names, pronouns, and any information brought to the circle, while honoring and holding one another’s process as confidential.
SkyDancing Tantra honors women as the Divine Feminine. Women can benefit in many profound ways by developing our incredible capacity for love, creativity, and returning to our fundamental power as sacred sexual Beings. Women are sourced by our sexual energy that is primordial and life giving. And it is this Divinity that provides a greater knowing and healing for the woman.
SkyDancing Tantra is fabulous for all women, whether you are comfortable with their sexuality and wanting to expand your skills and self expression or those who struggle with social or intimate interactions.
Through self awareness practices, letting go of old limiting beliefs and patterns, developing our vitality, women often feel surprised at their new sense of self love, comfort in their body and joy.
The sense of wholeness and sacred union within oneself and with another occurs when sexual and spiritual energies are integrated. Once integrated they then must flow in a harmonious dance. Our work assists women in the integration of their sexual-spiritual Being as well as their feminine with their masculine nature. This allows for healing of old wounds or residual memories that constrict her feminine energy from flowing freely. This in turn creates aliveness and vitality in her body, relationship and life.
Join us! We are committed to creating a space where people of all sizes and shyness levels can discover their voice and expression. We hear most often how comfortable, safe and close people felt in a short time. The exercises are designed to help you relax and be included so you don’t have to feel left out. You are also welcome to step out of any practice, if you desire.
NO. We don’t. We don’t even try. Since there are more than 2 genders, we consider it impossible. For the comfort of attendees, at some events, we do try to keep numbers of female-identified and male-identified folks somewhat near each other.
You can 1) Say “no.” 2) Raise your hand for support. 3) Make an excuse of needing food, drink, the bathroom, talk to someone and get one of the facilitators or assistants.
Our events are designed to be “brave spaces” where you can challenge yourself, lean into your growth edges, feel vulnerable, and empower yourself to learn. Feeling unsafe because you are growing and pushing your own edges is not the same as being harassed.
There is no required nudity. However, in weekend workshops where nudity is an option, we welcome whatever choice is right for you. Awareness of your boundaries, limitations, and authentic full participation in each moment is a very important part of Love Passionately events. For some people, choosing to be nude can be a profoundly healing experience, and for others, choosing to remain clothed can be an empowering choice.
We’ve had people in their 80’s have a great time and appreciate how Tantra helps them break free of beliefs about sexuality that limit their pleasure, such as having to have an erection, orgasm, or libido. Please, don’t let age be an excuse! You are always the perfect age to keep learning and having more fun! If specific physical limitations are a concern, please contact us.
If you are worried about being the only “old people/person,” SkyDancing Tantra tends to attract people seeking a mature depth of practice. Many of our participants are ages 45+. We’d be happy to discuss specific events if you desire.
Please let us know if you need accommodations well in advance, we will do our best to meet your needs. A lot depends on the venue we’re using at the event you want to attend.
We're dedicated to accommodating your needs and ensuring everyone can fully participate and enjoy their experience as much as we can.
Please do NOT wear scents or perfumes. Many people are sensitive to them, and sitting all together in a workshop can make scents impossible to escape. It’s a good idea to bathe/shower if you’ve been active or sweaty during the day!
Privacy is important to us. We ask all attendees to agree to not share about other attendees’ experiences and attendance. You are welcome to share your own experiences and share about the facilitators, but please keep the experiences of others private. Thank you in advance for this!
The only rules we have at our events are those of consent and respect. As long as you ask and get verbal permission for activities permitted at the event, (the rules of consent) you never have to participate in any activity or exercise. You are welcome to say no to all invitations and requests to participate. You are responsible for your own choices and we ask you to take care of yourself emotionally, physically and spiritually when choosing what exercises and activities to participate in.
For most events, no cell phones are allowed in the interactive space (other than the ones the facilitators use to track time and play music). At the end of an event, we will often invite attendees who would like to be in a group photo to gather for a picture. Occasionally, we will record the facilitators teaching; however, filming is always announced in the ticket description page and restated on the order confirmation page. Attendees are never filmed unless explicitly asked before ticket purchase, and a video release is signed. If you have questions, feel free to contact us via the email and/or phone number in your confirmation email.
We have a few scholarship spots for events for people with financial challenges. Email us early, these tend to go fast. And please only ask if your finances make it an issue to attend.
For evening and day events, we do not offer refunds. If you’re unable to attend, you may transfer your entrance fee to someone else of your choosing.
For weekend retreats, we offer a 45-day refund, minus a 10% processing and office fee, as long as the event is more than 45 days away. Within the 30 day window before the event, we cannot offer refunds as money has been outlaid to pay for the venue, support team, and supply costs.
If you can’t attend due to unforeseen circumstances, you may transfer your ticket to someone else of your choosing, provided they meet the entrance requirements or we are happy to issue you a credit voucher for 50% of the amount of tuition. Credit vouchers are non-transferrable and valid for one year towards select events.
If there are documented medical reasons for your inability to attend, we may allow you to attend a future event on the same topic at our sole discretion.
