California Tantra Festival

If you’ve ever been interested in exploring the full range of Tantra – from spiritual awakening to sacred sexuality, to just delighting more in the taste of your food and sensing the nature around you – then this is the place to do it!

You will be held in a safe and encouraging space that respects all choices and aids in deeper intimacy with your own deep being. The festival will offer many workshops throughout the day where you can “choose your own adventure” as you pick which offerings to take advantage of or perhaps you take some time to integrate and be in nature. We anchor the festival with a morning meeting to start in a good way and an evening ceremony where we come together and are held in Tantric ritual, so you will truly feel the gift of community and connection.

Set in the beautiful nature of an amazing venue right beside the Sequoia National Park in California, this 5-day gathering will bring a powerful cross section of Tantra teachers from diverse backgrounds and lineages to create an unforgettable experience. 

CELEBRATING OUR HUMANNESS

The theme this year is celebrating our humanness. So often those exploring the esoteric arts and sciences begin to idealize spirit over matter, however the tantric teachings are intended to support us to feel the divinity in all things from the magic to the mundane. 
 
In a world with so much division and conflict, these powerful teachings and practices can bring us back to our basic humanity and open our hearts to see and be seen in the simple vulnerable places where we are so much more alike than different. The place where we are simply yearning to feel ok. Included. Part of the whole. This is the true magic of tantra, to help us remember the divine in the mundane, in the every day, in the places we hide away to feel welcome. Here we invite everyone to include all of themselves and as we include ourselves we include each other.
 
And may we do this with a spirit of humility, curiosity and a sense of humor. Let this be a gathering where we not only celebrate our diversity, but our sameness. Where we celebrate our wild expression and our tender silence. Where we celebrate our love and loss, our moments of triumph and moments of feeling awkward, all equal, all divine, all human.

What’s on

Tantra Workshops

Embodied spirituality is about weaving all the different aspects of your life, of yourself, together. Everything is included and integrated in such a way that there is no aspect that is not God – while eating food, making love, enjoying fresh air. Ahhh Bliss!

Yoga Workshops

Yoga means union and finding a good practice helps bring together the aspirations of your heart and mind with the wisdom and abilities of your own beautiful body.

Dance Practices

Dance helps us embody ourselves, helps us bring through our soul and our spirit into the manifest realm. Discover your inner alchemist who is able to weave together worlds discover themselves more deeply and celebrate that through movement.

Love Temple

When we find intimacy with ourselves then it is possible to share it with others. The Love Temple is a held space that allows for an exploration of sensuality rather than sexuality. It is full of delights
