Frequently Asked Questions

Is paint provided?

Yes, I get my paint at a good art store, it is 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 do anything you don't want to. You may start with clothes on and shed some afterward when 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...

Well, 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.

Do I have to interact with people, can I stay with my partner?

We prefer you interact with others as most participants will do, however, you might favor painting with 1 person only and that is perfectly fine.

I'm shy, how about if a man does have 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.

I've seen a picture and I want to be a wild beast...

Great, the paint will be there, bring some props too, it helps!

May I take pictures?

Yes, we'll have our kodak moment, always ask before.

How do we wash off?

4 warm showers outside, sponges, soap, helping hands, 1 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 the energy to play all night.

I'll have to work the next morning, may I leave early?

Yes, you may leave whenever you wish but... you will miss out on our closing circle, (coconut oil puja) described by many as the highlight of the evening!

I'd like to invite a friend ...

If you think your friend would fit our group, please let me know, we welcome new people. Remember to take care of your friend that day.

And if I have to cancel...?

I hope you won't but if some emergency comes up, let me know asap and you'll get 1 pass to one of my future pujas. This event requires lots of preparation with up-front costs involved.
