Puja Defined by Lisa Citore: Puja is a word for ceremony or celebration where men and women gather together in circle to reawaken the sacred union of Shiva (God) and Shakti (Goddess) in our bodies through nurturing each other. In restoring the harmony within, so all of life is returned to balance.

Through this sensual sacred journey of Tantric breath, touch, dance, ritual poetry and silence, we connect with each other on a deeper level than the mundane- moving beyond our fears, our judgments or feelings of attraction to the essential self-where we may experience ecstasy without acting on it, where sexual energy is alchemized into unconditional love.

Testimonials

“The Tantra puja opened in me new ways of connecting with the divine feminine as a male from a holistic, heart centered and empowered place. I laughed, cried (actually sobbed and wept), was excited and deeply moved. Lisa’s level of professionalism, insight, compassion, integrity, presentness and tenderness made the event rich, rewarding, vulnerable and safe.”

“I can’t remember the last time (sadly even in my relationships) where I felt so seen, so honored, so beautiful. This sacred ceremony between strangers, now friends, has reawakened me to who I am and what I deserve. Thank you, Lisa, for making me cry.”

- Tiana Edwards

“Through the puja, my husband and I found new ways to inspire, honor and receive each other. We’re excited to go home and create our own ceremony.”
