Imagine... being part of a group of friends and lovers gathered comfortably in a circle on the floor, warm and welcomed. "Look at the people around you," the facilitator tells you, "look into as many people's eyes as you can and smile." We are relaxed together and smiling across the room at each other. We rise to the sounds of music as the ritual ends and we slowly filter off into the night's activities- massage, conversations in the hot tub, flirting, sensual food, dancing, exploring, playing.... LoveTribe is a spiritually and community minded group dedicated to creating a fun, erotic, safe, sacred environment where adults can explore sensuality and sexual expression. Our parties are meant to be a safe space for those attending their first sensuality party, those that just want to enjoy an erotically charged atmosphere, and those who are already familiar with this type of party and wish to actively play. It is a joy and a gift to come together, ground in our bodies, connect at a deeper level with each other and create an amazing, safe, sacred space to explore our sensuality and playfulness in all its dimensions. Frequently Asked Questions The opportunity to explore your sensuality and sexual expression in a group setting can be intimidating if you don't know what to expect. The answers to several of our most commonly asked questions are listed here. If you don't find answers to your questions here, email us at Eros@LoveTribe.org What happens at these parties? Besides an opening ritual, the nights events are decided by you. Activities vary as much as party attendees. Some people enjoy dancing, massage, body painting or other play that delights the senses. Others explore more erotic play. You should never feel pressured at any time to join any one activity or interact with anyone you do not want to. What is the ritual all about? The Ritual or Opening Circle is a group gathering at the beginning of the night that is led by men and women who have experience holding safe, sacred, welcoming and playful space. The ritual relaxes the group, and deepens our sense of the sacred in each other and connection as a community. The ritual usually includes breathing exercises, boundary games and other exercises designed to help us connect with each other and get grounded in our bodies. What should I bring to the party? Bring your ID, as you may be required to disclose your age, a snuckluck item to share, and a donation. If there is a hot tub at the party location, we suggest you bring a towel to dry off with and/or wrap up in. You may also choose to bring massage tools and oil, your own sensual pleasure toys, and flowers or other items for the altar. What should I wear at the party? Wear your most sensual/beautiful/sexy clothes - whatever you are comfortable in - even nothing! Think soft and luscious! There will be a clothes check for those who wish to change into something too sexy to wear on the street. Street attire (such as jeans and T-shirt) will not work in our lush party environment. What are the invitation guidelines? Can I bring anyone I want? Our group is unique in creating gatherings that are good mix of ages and genders. At least half of our party participants are women and at least half are participants are usually under 40. We encourage guests to RSVP with partners or friends, but it also fine to come alone. We will balance the guestlist, which may mean some people are left on the Waiting List until their attendance can be balanced. By RSVPing in a balanced group, you greatly increase your chances of getting into the event. What does my donation cover; where do the proceeds go? Your donation helps pay for the supplies necessary to run the parties and support our vibrant community. What if I don't want to 'play' with anyone or only want to 'play' with my partner? Our parties are meant to be a safe space for those attending their first sensuality party and that just want to see what it's all about, those that are only interested in being able to enjoy an erotically charged atmosphere without playing, and those that wish to actively play. We provide a comfortable no-play zone at each party should you wish to retreat at any time during the night. Regardless, you should not feel pressured at any time to join any activity or interact with anyone you do not want to. You are free to choose how you will interact with others, provided you respect their boundaries. What if I'm uncomfortable at a party? Most newcomers to our events find them to be more welcoming and comfortable than they might have imagined. If this is not the case for you, there is a no-play zone at each of our parties where you can go to center and ground yourself. Or you may choose to talk to a party hostess, who is always available to answer your questions or deal with any issues that may arise. Of course, you are always welcome to leave the party at any time.
