There will be a sensual Tango performance Thursday evening by Anton & Rita to celebrate the 1st Night of the Sacred Sex Roundup at the new Club Tantra Lounge where you will be able to meet the organizers, presenters, and fellow sexy spirits.

There will be great music, dancing, very light refreshments (so eat dinner), and you are welcome to BYOB as there is no liquor sold on the premise. Bring your friends for this festive gathering of sexy spirits to dance, drink, laugh, and play as we kick off the 23nd Annual Sacred Sex Roundup in New York City.

Zahava comes from a professional dance background, training since the age of two with many masters at the Juilliard School, Tisch School of the Arts, Alvin Ailey School, Sarah Lawrence College and performing with such legends as Katherine Dunham, Urban Bush Women, Liz Lerman and the Joffrey Ballet. Her extensive training in West African, ballet, modern dance, Middle Eastern dance, Sufi Dancemeditation, and yoga has given her a sense of the infinite movement vocabulary of the body. She has also learned how differently each culture defines dance and its relationship to creating community, healing, connecting with the soul, finding lovers, rites of passage, and preparing for birth.

Shanti & Arjuna are married to each other and married to the ideals of The Transformational Warriors. They believe firmly that great relationships require great risk for transformation to take place. We need to risk our vulnerability and ego by exposing our soft underbellies to go deeper. THIS is where the seeds of FUN are planted! And the Transformational Warriors are all about FUN, their tag line “Saving the Planet from Boring Relationships!” Ecstatic relationships die when the FUN dies, plain and simple. Come discover how to have more FUN in your lives!

Short Presentation: A Taste of Tantra Theater (40-minutes)

Most of us have an analytical understanding of our story, meaning that we could tell someone our story.  However, in the process of using the expressive arts to craft our stories, our paradigm is irrevocably altered. Old suffering is observed and released. Connection is realized. A new consciousness emerges that allows for humorous self-reflection. Ultimately, we experience a greater acceptance of self and a freedom of being. As a community we will be able to witness and share our sories!

Special appearance/performance: Swami Maha Lingam-Ji by Michael McClure! Michael uses comedy and magic to procure a tantric master with one of the worlds most talented penisis!

ROUNDUP EXCLUSIVE: Kamla Devi Workshop (2-hrs, $25 per person)

Your Own Tantra Theater Experience!

Have you ever seen a sexy play or movie and thought, I wish I could be up there sharing my story, but you were too shy or scared to do anything about it?

Let this year’s Sacred Sexuality Round-Up transform that!

This is an interactive playshop which introduces the theater technologies necessary to foster stage confidence and start your process of scripting your sacred sexual stories. All experience levels welcome and encouraged! Never been on stage? No worries! Already an actor? Take your craft a few notches deeper by freeing-up and integrating your personal, sexual journey into your work!

In this 2-hour playshop we will create a sacred space to help you write, talk, improvise and share your personal narratives. Tantra Theater is a powerful new medium that uses comedy, drama, and dance to educate, entertain, and enlighten. This work can be deeply ego confronting but it can help you express yourself fully on stage, on camera, in relationship or in any other circumstance in life.

Benefits from experiencing the Tantra Theater workshop:

• Stage presence and confidence
• An expanded sense of intimacy and community
• Freedom from your self-limiting stories
