What Others Say
I had a tremendous time with the Goddesses. I thought you did a fantastic job, I had not been to one for a year or so ... I have released a lot of things about my old relationships which really opens up the great energy.

Each time I bring or send any of my friends to an event you're leading, they come back enthusiastic, enlivened, and enlovened. (is that a word?) ;-) You really have lovingly touched so many with your presence, and also many more when these ambassadors go out into the world.

Warmest greetings to the Goddesses I had the honor and pleasure of meeting at my first Puja... Many of you were first timers like myself. Thank you for having the courage and curiosity to experience for yourself what Puja had to offer. I hope you had at least one positive experience to make it worth your participation. To all you veterans, thank you for having the patience and willingness to help me to become a more enlightened Divine male. And... To the best damn teacher one could possibly hope to have introduce this Tantric celebration, I bow to you eternally grateful. Thank you, Francoise

Going to your pujas are a wonderful reflection of where I am at within myself, and on my journey towards a relationship. Thank you for creating a wonderful atmosphere with exercises to experience intimacy and divine light with others I've never met, or hardly know.

One event has done more value for me than 1.5 years of online dating.

worried about hurricanes, wildfires, and global warming.
The process of puja quickly centered me. I felt present. I felt manly.
I felt like a wonderful giver and receiver. I watched many of the women
gently melt in my presence. This is transformation for me,
transformation expertly facilitated by you!

Throughout the night the word THANK YOU kept coming to me over and over. And so I say many kind thanks to all of you for sharing. Also Francoise, I've already signed up for the next event!

I’d never been to any sort of Tantra event before yours and was uncertain what to expect, but had heard that your events are amazing. I felt very welcome and comfortable. I really enjoyed the format, and wish I could have taken notes on the exercises so I could try some later again with my play partner(s).
A few of the exercises surprised me in terms of my own physical/emotional reactions (all positive). Everyone was so lovely and I learned so very much both from others and about myself.
Thank you for hosting such an enlightening event.
You have a beautiful home, that is very warm and inviting

Attending your puja was life-changing! You made it so fun and I love the personal touches that seemed odd at first and then I realized they were brilliant. I love how innocent the exercises were, like sweet icebreakers, and represented little things anyone could do on a date to deepen connection- excellent practice. You were playful and a very powerful model for how to embrace exercises that were a little tough for the beginner to conceptualize. I learned from you how to be more relaxed, and playful and create a fun environment to be in with others.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for being such an instrument in my life to help me grow and come to fully acknowledge and accept myself as a human being who has a need for physical touch and connection with others. Every time I came back to your puja, I realized how much I was missing in life by not having physical touch and connection with others, I was starved inside and it nurtured me back to health.
