Body Painting extravaganza
Body Painting frequently asked questions:
-What kind of paint are we using?
Chroma Pearlescent paint is gorgeous on the skin, non-allergenic, and easy to wash off.
We paint with brushes, sponges, gloves, or bare hands.
-Do we have to undress?:
Most people do. Keeping something on is fine if you don't mind having paint on it.
The undressing is playfully and elegantly brought up after our first Puja warm-up circle.
Be assured that you do not have to unless you feel comfortable.
-Will I get cold?
The paint acts as a body glove, our art studio will be inside and one outside, most people get warm and prefer to be outside, there will be sources of heat inside and outside.
-I'm self-conscious about my body... :
We are all learning to love ourselves the way we are. It is not a fashion show, it is a gathering of conscious loving people. Also, the paint is really pretty on bare skin and it looks like everyone is dressed up again!
-I'm not an artist, I don't know how to paint :
The good news is that you don't even have to paint yourself, many other hands will work on you if you ask; and remember we use paint as children do: we smear it everywhere, we have fun and the result is always gorgeous!
- I have a back problem I can not stand for too long :
It is a very dynamic evening, including dancing and painting. We are in constant movement and it will be very taxing on your body if you are not in good shape. Sitting is not really an option.
-Do I have to interact with people, can I stay with my partner? :
Most participants will interact with others. It is a very friendly group.
However, you might favor painting with 1 person only, and that is perfectly fine.
-I'm shy, how about if a man has an erection?:
Some do, some don't, no big deal, we paint the whole body and it is all in loving spirit!
The fun atmosphere outweighs this sexual issue. This is not a sexual event.
-May I take pictures?
Pictures are to be taken only when we have our Kodak moment.
Some people may not want their picture taken: this is to be fully respected and honored.
-How do we wash off?
4 warm showers outside, sponges, soap, helping hands, tub...a delightful experience!
-I'm working all day and won't make it on time, is that OK?
The opening circle is our warm up and our bonding time, do not miss it;
if you work all day that day, your body will probably lack energy to play all night.
-Is it OK to leave before the end?
Yes, you may leave whenever you need to, take care of yourself.
The closing circle however with the coconut oil Puja is described by many as the highlight of the evening!
-May I bring a friend?
If you think your friend would fit our group, please let me know. We welcome new people.
Have your friend register in advance, there won't be any openings left at the last minute.
- If I have to cancel?
If some emergency comes up, let me know asap and you'll get credit for future tantra events.
This event requires lots of preparation with up-front costs involved.
Please understand: there will be no refund. You may donate your ticket to someone else.
