FAQ
What is a ritual in this library?
A written structure for a stretch of deliberate time: an opening, a guided middle, and a closing. Each one tells you what to do, in what order, and how long to stay with it. Nothing here asks you to believe anything, and none of it is therapy.
How long does a practice take?
Between 13 and 120 minutes. The duration is the shape of the practice rather than a suggestion: a 13 minute ritual is built to work in 13 minutes. Filter by duration and take the one that fits the evening you actually have.
Do I need experience with tantra or meditation?
No. Every practice carries a level, and the beginner ones assume no background at all. They are written for someone reading the instructions for the first time, mid practice, on a phone.
Are these for couples or for one person?
Both. 8 of the practices are for one person and 6 are for two. The solo practices are not a lesser version of the couple ones: they build the attention the couple practices ask for.
Do I need anything to do these?
A room where you will not be interrupted, and the time you set aside. Nothing in the library costs anything to read or to follow.
