Hi, we are Annette and Jim! Poets at large! We are new to Steemit and find ourselves here, attracted by the community of out-of-the box thinkers and artists looking to evolve. Thank you for being here!
We started a conversation about Tantra late last year and it just kept going so we started a Google document and gave it a name: Tantra Banter! Since then, it’s snowballed into our creative monster-baby and we’ve both quit our jobs and are dedicated to making our pastime our full-time! We connect with others tired of the monotony, boredom, underwhelm, and addiction to sensation, saying to themselves, "There's gotta be more...".
Since this conversation has held our attention, we thought you would want to know more too!
We are on a journey, an adventure, a mission, a pilgrimage to explore consciousness and an unbounded life of mindfulness, presence, simplicity/minimalism, dreaming, creativity, imagination, and conscious creation.
We are Millenial Pilgrims exploring Inner Space!
We meditate daily, while practicing mindfulness throughout the day.
We confront our egos, getting to know the many archetypes that exist within ourselves.
We work to dissolve false constructs in order to find Truth.
We document our lives/experience through all media: written, visual, and audio!
We travel and meet folks, starting conversations about dreams, imagination, and creativity.
We are creating a vision of a DECENTRALIZED LIFE that we create from our imagination, raw and real and to the root!
We take all this reading, learning, and practice and distill it into a digestible format to share with others on the good journey.
Our vision for TantraBanter is a Shift in Consciousness. Not only for us but for the World. To be in touch with consciousness in reality, manifesting a new future for the whole of the planet: a future that encourages expansive new growth and leveling up our consciousness.
Our mission is to encourage people to think far, far, FAR outside of the box.
Join the conversation. What do you dream about?

Hey welcome both of you. Looking forward to your posts!

Hi and welcome here! When I started on steemit, my biggest problem was to find interesting people to interact with. So, to help newcomers getting started I created a directory with other interesting and or talented steemians to follow or interact with. Feel free to check it out at https://www.steemiandir.com I am sure it will help you find like-minded people. Enjoy your stay here and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

Welcome to steemit you two! Sounds like a very interesting mission and very interested to see what you'll post.
Heh. After you poke around a bit you might come to the conclusion that this whole community could use a paradigm shift of its own. But I'm hopeful, and hope everyone sees the underlying potential of this platform. See you around!

I'm super jealous of this Tantra Banter because minimalism is fundamental to joy, progress, adventure, creativity, and everything. Love it. Welcome, guys. Love the photos. Exciting. I taught English in Vietnam, I'm from America. Welcome to Steemit. Upvoted. Resteemed.

Hiya @wakeupkitty! Never?!?! Wow, I thought I was bad at 1 or 2 per year. Since I've started this practice I am dreaming nearly everynight and back to using my imagination during my waking hours and creating!

Oh I thought you meant by dreams... Future plans/goals.
Everybody dreams (about 8 a night they say) but most do not remember them.
I had a period I wrote them down, woke up, wrote it down slept, etc... In the morning I read what I wrote and took the message out of it.
Now I remember most, there are once back in bed I continue the dream.
The more time you use a day to think, relax and think the less busy you are at night.
Now my dreams are more like thoughts.. Frequently I write my stories in my (half)sleep.

Welcome to Steem, Tantrabanter! Wishing you joy in your travels and conversations (both around the world and within). Lately, I dream of days where I won't have to concern myself with the time of day. Though, considering someday my journey in this world will end and time will no longer be something that binds me, I'm grateful for what I have now. LOL, I suppose this just means I'd like a vacation. X^D
Enjoy your day and please feel free to ask any questions that you may have.
We encourage everyone to explore the various posts and to leave personal comments on those that you wish (for example - thoughts regarding the content or a sharing of a similar experience you've had). This platform thrives through interaction as it's the best way to build relationships with other Steemians while finding communities and initiatives that peak your interests.
We like to advise bloggers to cite if images, videos, etc. used in their posts are of their own creation. This practice gives the creators an opportunity to have it clearly labeled that the works portrayed are the rightful property of the party posting it.
Another tip that we share with everyone is to be careful of copyright infringement when using material that is not of their original creation. Content (for example - images from a website) that grants permission for reuse is acceptable for content creators to utilize within their posts provided there is appropriate attribution to the source. Here's a link that will provide you with more information.
We wanted to let you know, we have given you a 25% upvote, are now following you, and are introducing you to everyone we know. You can visit our post HERE.
You can also visit our discord server, The Steem Terminal, which is your one-stop location for learning about destinations on the Steem Blockchain & Discord. Here you will find people who are willing to answer the questions you may have as a new Steemian, documents to assist you, a place to learn and practice, and find out about the many opportunities to connect with other Steemians!
