A few questions people usually have before they come to their first Tantra Speed Date event.
Not really. It is a guided singles event where you meet people through playful connection exercises instead of sitting across from strangers and asking the same interview questions all night.
It can feel a little awkward for the first few minutes, just like walking into any room full of strangers. The difference is that you are never left wondering what to say or do next. Every exercise is guided, so conversation unfolds naturally.
100%. The event is built around choice, boundaries, and consent. You are always invited to participate at the level that feels right for you.
Yes. Based on our event results, 94.09% of attendees make at least one connection at Tantra Speed Date.
That's normal. Most people arrive feeling at least a little nervous. Often it is hard to tell the difference between nerves and excitement. Within minutes, the guided exercises help people relax, settle in, and connect naturally.
Attendance varies by city and date. Most events are large enough to meet several people while still feeling personal and human.
In this talk, Guy Shahar, founder of Tantra Institute and creator of Tantra Speed Date, shares the story behind the event, the ideas that shaped it, and why it creates a different experience from traditional speed dating.
