The Setting, etc...

An introductory Cosmic Love Event, an Evening Theatre, and a One Day Event can be held in a hotel or in a large home. Lectures and Parties can be in a hotel, large home or club.

Theatre Tantra is performed at a secluded resort, retreat or large home. For this, there should be one room big enough to accommodate all participants lying in an inner and outer circle (about 24 ft. x 24 ft.). There should be no mold or dampness, and the space should free of artificial or other odors, and noise ...and be totally private.

Whether in a hotel or resort, there should be fresh flowers in the group room each day. The group room floor should be carpeted (be sure carpet is cleaned) or have mats. There should also be a cushion, (participants are asked to bring their own cushion/pillow) blindfold and towel for each participant. Also natural massage oils, beeswax candles, and plenty of tissues and paper towels.

The location for Theatre Tantra can be in or near mountains, desert, seashore, lake or island and should include a food preparation area and cooking provisions, as well as storage and refrigeration. Although not a requirement, the use of nearby outdoors in privacy is a definite plus....

Sleeping accommodations for a Theatre Tantra event should be at the same facility, or within the same complex, with a change of bedding each night (sheets/pillow cases), and clean wool or cotton blankets.

Note: The Cosmic Love Event is non-residential with participants returning to their homes or hotel rooms after each day's events on Saturday and Sunday. Again, there is no nudity or explicit sexual contact in a Cosmic Love event, Evening event or One Day event.

For all events, there should be a quality sound system of at least 200 watts, (500 preferred) with both a CD player and a audio cassette player. A regular microphone with a 30 foot cord and a quality cordless microphone are required.

Although not a firm requirement, there should be a shower room/facility that accommodates 1/2 of the participants at any one time in a single room/area, indoors or outdoors (summer).

General Information

A producer may choose to present several events while Virato is with them. In this way many more people can participate at whatever level and time they choose.

Nudity and/or explicit sexual sharing are not part of a Cosmic Love Event, One-Day Event, or Evening Event. The Intensive and experiential, Theatre Tantra does have nudity, and while not programmed, allows for explicit sexual sharing among consenting performers.

All Virato events, while fun and exciting, are essentially spiritual, and definitely not pornographic or lascivious. All performers take themselves lightly and immerse in the celebration and life renewal psycho-spiritual dance. Through the play (leela), performers witness existence as it is, and how they affect it at every turn.

Virato is available to travel anywhere in the world. These events are essentially heterosexual, yet present an individual's male and female components.

All Theatre Tantra events are for adults, therefore no one under the legal age limit in a particular community or country where the event is being held is permitted to attend an event. This is the responsibility of producer, who assumes full conscious and legal responsibility.

Drugs or alcohol are not permitted during these events, and participants are asked to refrain from using any mind-altering substances, including, but not limited to marijuana, cocaine, LSD, heroin, peyote, mescaline, psilocybin, ecstasy, etc., for 7 days prior to attending an event. He also suggests no alcohol the day of the event (parties and lectures exempt). No smoking at events, except in designated areas, and at designated times.

Virato asks that participants not eat meat or strong smelling foods, such as garlic, for at least 24-48 hours prior to an event. He also asks that your body be squeaky clean, with no perfumes or scents. Name tags are not used at these events.

No visual or audio recording devises are permitted at events, including parties and lectures. Virato must approve all promotional materials used to promote an event which they conduct, alone, or with others.

See Ways To Promote an Event for some hints on creating an event.
