Valentine Tantra Puja, 2/11
[ February 11, 2012; 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. ] Heart Opening Puja, Feb 11, Sat 7-9 pm, for singles, couples or paired friends at Galaxy Studio, 1700 S Lamar, $25/single $40/pairs, limited to the first 50
Enjoy an evening of adult play with intimacy coach, Charla Hathaway and Jeremy Feigenbaum, who lead you in simple, joyful encounters with others that feel safe and inviting. Their guided play activities will inspire you to share your natural attention, curiosity, and spontaneity.
Pujas come from a timeless tradition where a celebrant is encouraged to see past the personal and the Divine. Sensual encounters spark your innate ability to enjoy the moment, experience your body as wholesome, and be turthful with others.
You’ll explore your divine nature in play that feels safe, respectful and sensual (not sexual). Invite your inner child to come out and play in group setting that will open your senses, nourish your soul, and connect your heart to others.
Charla and Jeremy weave a sacred, safe place where you practice staying present and transparent with whatever feelings come up. Pujas are a great place to meet others in a conscious and nurturing setting, and deepen the bond between couples. Wear comfortable clothes that express your love for life and sensuality. Arrive with an open mind and soft heart.

What others say:
I learned more in a couple hours than in ten years of marriage. Robert, 37
I’m 54 years old and you can read all you want, you can talk to other men all you want, but hearing it from two expert women and practicing the strokes makes all the difference. John
I learned so much about how to talk with my lover about the touch I want. I learned that I can get what I want and feel connected to him at the same time. Charla’s a master at making hard things to talk about seem easy. I’m so thankful. Ashley

Male Erotic Massage: 3/24
[ March 10, 2012; 2:00 pm to 4:30 pm. ]
Demo class, Mar 24, Sat, 2-4:30 pm, for men, women, singles ($85) and paired friends ($160)
Men are naturally capable of multiple, whole body orgasms and prolonged waves of bliss…just as women are. Learn to massage his ‘hidden cock’ and find new ways to open a man’s profound capacity for of internal and external orgasmic joy. Men and Women, come to this class if you desire to honor and touch the male body to encourage his deep surrender, emotional release and spiritual connection.
Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Charla Hathaway, and best-selling author of Erotic Massage: Sensual Touch for Deep Pleasure and Extended Arousal (available in nine languages), demonstrates on a live male model how to give a man a sensual, sacred massage. She covers male anatomy, how to prepare a man for “receiving” deep bodywork, full body strokes, genital massage, and external and internal prostate massage. Participants do not massage each other (like in her Intro to Couples Tantra Loving class). You are invited (your choice) to try the strokes on the model.
Many men have not experienced massage without feeling pressure to perform or “give back.” Often men have not learned to experience the sensual journey instead of focusing on a destination. Many have yet to discover the pleasure of perineum and prostate exploration. A man receiving this kind of massage may enjoy extended Erotic Trance States and heightened potency, pleasure, and health–including prostate health.
Students are amazed at how comfortable they feel in the company of others learning such sensitive material. You will drop a sense of shame, separation and isolation around the body, and begin to enjoy, within a community of fellow seekers, an authentic and sacred connection to the body erotic.
