Spring tantric event for singles

A little bit of history to bring a smile on your face

In the British Isles, the maypole celebration usually took place the morning after Beltane, a celebration to welcome spring that included a big bonfire. When couples performed the maypole dance, they had usually come staggering in from the fields, clothes in disarray, and straw in their hair after a night of lovemaking. This led 17th-century Puritans to frown upon the use of the Maypole in celebration; after all, it was a giant phallic symbol in the middle of the village green.

How does it relate to tantra?

The tantra philosophy is about expansion, and we do not need to wait for spring...
By expanding the mind, we let go of conditioning. By cultivating the expansion of the heart, we learn to love people the way they are, we learn to give more praise and compliments, and we learn to love ourselves just as we are. By expanding the body, we learn to breathe, to relax and refine our approach to other beings, we practice teh art of sacred touch and learn to expand our pleasure. 

Tantra is about becoming clear with what serves us and what does not, becoming clear about our own boundaries and how to express it without cutting the flow of romance. All exercises aim at practicing this art.
