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.
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
I had a fantastic evening of warmth, trust, intimacy, and energy.
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
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.
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
Thank you for entrusting me with the honor of attending such a great puja. You make all the inherent awkwardness and insecurities of intimately meeting strangers vanish.
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
You really made a safe, spiritual and playful arena. Not only are you incredible powerful but you are soo nice and funny it made it pleasure to be around you. I look forward to hearing about and being apart of more to come, please keep me informed, my first one and HOOKED.

Saturday evening's Puja was a lovely experience. Thank you to each of you Special Men for the meaningful and warm connection. I also appreciated the ladies with whom I had fun conversations.

Francoise, Thanks for another amazing puja. You gather such wonderful and loving people.
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
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
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
What I particularly enjoyed was all the lovely men. Each one was truly gentle, masculine and yummy!
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
Thank You for hosting this wonderful event. It was a well organized and well run event. I got to meet many familiar and new Gods and Goddesses. I look forward to attending upcoming events of yours.

The lesson you continue to show me about respect is invaluable to me. Thank you Francoise!!
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
I'm very aware of and sensitive to the vibes of place and people. And your sacred space, your professionalism, clarity and excellent guiding invite the beauty of natural expression. 
you possess a special magic which is wonderful to observe and experience. Thank you for all you have done and are yet to do for the healing of me and humanity
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
Thank you so much for this event. It was absolutely wonderful as you said it would be. Sweet people. I think the way you formatted the event - lecture, separate circles, exercises - was great. I especially LOVED being in the "sisterhood" circle with the women...I think it was a beautiful bonding experience.Thank you so very much for offering these events. You ARE changing the world. I am inspired!!!
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
I highly enjoyed the workshop . It brought a different light on intimacy for me and I feel more open to new experiences right now. I appreciate you for sharing all your wisdom in a sacred, nurturing, present & playful environment.
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
Thank you for creating such a nurturing environment for us to explore our humanity and connect with one another. It was a wonderful experience!
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
I really enjoyed the last puja and the sense of community within the San Diego tantra people I've seen a few times now. I continue to practice my boundaries, and learn a tremendous amount. 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.
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
To me, it felt like it was about 30 minutes long; the time passed all too quickly. I hardly remember driving home
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
it was a great experience!I've met so many beautiful people,it was a bliss :)
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
Thank you for an amazing class. WOW. I loved it all. You sure have some GREAT exercises for us. And where do you find such beautiful ladies!?!?
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
Hi Francoise! Thank you for a wonderful evening at Saturday's puja. You created an amazing experience…as always. You brought an abundance of beauty, warmth, sensuality, love, and magic to the evening, and shared it with us all, and then sprinkled your energy and creativity on top as the yummy icing on the tantric cake. Thank you for being the wonderful goddess that you are, and for sharing yourself with all of us.
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
Thank you so much for a masterful puja celebration! The energy and vibes of the group was great and you even raised it to a higher level with ease and grace and naturally flowing where everybody was comfortable and the men respectful
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
What a masterful evening, putting everyone at ease and inviting all to open to intimacy.  The few newbes I spoke with were delightfully surprised at how much fun they were having.  Your gift of bringing people into the heart is so appreciated by me, and many others. Linda
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
It's been four years since I've been intimate with another man and your evening ignited passion in me again
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
Thank you so much, Francoise. I had such a wonderful time tonight. I’m bursting with oxytocin for the holidays.
I truly admire your elegance and your leadership. You are both feminine and strong.
I could sing your praises all night, Goddess of Love and Beauty. Instead, I hope it suffices to say, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart and Happy Holidays!
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
It meant so much for me to have a place to once again gather with like-minded individuals. I appreciate your protocol with attention to safety. As usual, you created a beautiful event woven with fun, laced with thoughtful questions and heart-felt exercises.
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
The exercises you lead were so appropriate for a beginner in tantra. I have been curious about the tantric arts for years and I'm glad I finally took a step toward learning something new about them
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
It was interesting to see how different the energy was with different people, with some I felt spiritual bond, with others emotional, with some more physical/sexual.
One event has done more value for me than 1.5 years of online dating.
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
I hope others enjoyed my presence and my energy as much as enjoyed theirs. Thank you for being a great host. Beautiful, charming, smart, in control, powerful… and so French. 😉
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
I love the way your exercises educate men & women in giving them new ideas for romancing a woman/man and being present in their bodies. Your music is always superb.
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
Thank you very much for yesterday event, it was so amazing! I am very grateful to you for creating such a nurturing environment. It feels so natural and easy when you are guiding the group. All exercises are very delicate, with sense of beautiful french touch. I enjoyed the way you looked too. Thank you for sharing your skills on how to be a Tantra woman.That is really special.
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
Thank you for a most unusual, interesting, fruitful evening. I am still savoring the sweetness of a safe, intimate evening at your home w/ men and women.
There is a special place in heaven for people like you who help others bring more love into their lives.
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
I came into the Saturday’s Puja
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!
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
What you are doing is bring my faith back that life is good...
And there is so much love around...
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
It was one of the most fun nights I've ever had! Well planned and I felt totally comfortable and safe.
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
So Grateful to have been invited to this Heartfelt, Loving, Compassionate, Spiritually charged Event! I was filled up with so much genuine Love, respect, honor & Joy!      
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
Still overflowing with gratitude for all the exquisite nurturing, including from our divine Tantra Goddess guide as well as each soul who showed up so beautifully. Such peace and beauty emerge in full when we can slow down, breathe with each other and touch in to our heart and soul's inner knowing.
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
I love that we can come to gather this way, there is trust and respect that just allows us to open more. Yes such beautiful souls being shown to me over and over, all the way around the circle and appreciating the brotherhood that shows up as well !
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
I am in deep appreciation to all the sacred souls whom I had the pleasure of sharing the lovely Puja . Thank you Francoise for creating such wonderful opportunities for us to come together and experience the joy of community! Thank you all, especially first-timers, for having the courage and open mind to share your hearts.
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
I appreciate how Françoise invited us to embody the attributes of Gods and Goddesses. I don't know if there any more divine way to treat a stranger than how each of you treated me with such love.
May we meet again with that quality of love. 
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
Thank you to all of the beautiful souls whom I had the privilege of meeting last evening.
I am not usually one for a loss of words, however, in the circle at the end of the evening I felt so much gratitude that one word seemed inadequate. 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!
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
ohlala...what a dream to be transported to Paris with no jet lag...and where do you find all those gentlemen? I felt well adored and romanced! Your guidance was helpful, I was glad to not have to figure out what to do! Merci Francoise!
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
Part of me came to get touch and nurturing and connection . Another part came in hopes of meeting someone (special) . Instead I met many someones (special) … a loving community. My heart feels invited to open even wider, to include more than I believed possible.
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
I remember the time when I first appeared at Francoise’s home. I was broken and lost. Events like this where part of my healing journey. They helped me to regain my confidence, rebuild my trust in men and find a way back to my joyful self.
We need more of this time together, time without competition, time when we can look into our hearts and connect from there.
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
Every puja that you facilitate is a creation and feels almost magical because of the work that you put into developing the program. Your welcoming spirit, knowledge, fluency, charming accent, humor, poise, and attention to time (both with starting and ending), are ingredients that make experiences like yesterday's special and memorable. Thank you for being an all-around true professional.
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
Grateful for the beautiful connections; Francoise, thanks so much for offering these events and for creating such a safe and loving container...Sue
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
There is beauty in the simplicity and depth of the questions and experiences you guide. Definitely expanded my comfort zone and I'm so lucky it was among such generous and gentle men. I never once felt that anyone crossed the line. I felt very safe and I feel like the environment stayed nonsexual.
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
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
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
Our conversation today was very helpful to me as I navigate this new relationship. This relationship feels like the real deal and I want to do everything in my power and with integrity to advance and sustain it for our highest good together.
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
I felt welcomed and truly honored to have been accepted into the circle. It was so much fun and I felt happy for the first time in a very long while. Exactly what I needed at the exact time in my life!
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
for me being a single man for 16 yrs and having to experience what I did was just a pure magical moment, not a sexual ( although that energy was there) ,but a more of grounded connection, whole heartedly type of vibe. Jaime
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
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.
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
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.
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
What a lovely night, Francoise. It was like being gifted with 18 different, sweet blossoms of beauty, fragrance, dimension, texture, and delicious nectar. The range of presence and comfort for each bundle of loveliness offered a unique and profoundly moving experience! 18 delightful gifts of delicate and divine women present in their Goddess form.
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
Thank you for your gift of providing a safe and welcoming space to experience a taste of Tantra! It was a very interesting process for me and I have had many openings in my perceptions of myself, men and relationships...so I"m glad I took the leap to try this! I appreciate how respectful and genuine all the participants were...I'm intrigued to learn more!
Tantra FG Francoise Ginsberg
You do a wonderful job at keeping everyone on focus and the entire program was very meaningful and well put together. I have to tell you I came home, and though it was late, I had lot's of energy, slept well and woke up feeling like it it so great to feel human.
