OneTaste

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

OneTaste is a communal society that promotes individual wellbeing through “orgasmic meditation” and other activities in the neotantra tradition. The society, found by Nicole Daedone in 2001, has “urban retreat” centers in San Francisco and New York where several dozen members live full or part-time.[1] With the self-described goal of “helping individuals live full, integrated and conscious lives,” the group also offers workshops to the public in communication, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. OneTaste's precepts state that we all want the same thing: to love and be loved, to see and be seen, to feel connected and to know one's purpose.

[edit] San Francisco Urban Retreat Center

The San Francisco OneTaste Urban Retreat Center, in the SoMa district, houses over 50 permanent residents.[2] The Center offers yoga, massage, and sexuality workshops, and also provides a free Thanksgiving and Christmas meal for the misfortunate.

[edit] Orgasmic Meditation

Three times a day the society comes together for orgasmic meditation (“OMing”), in which a clothed man or woman stroke the genitals of another for 15 minutes. The orgasmic meditation practice no longer focuses on solely the female orgasm, but on both male and female orgasm.[3]
