What we’re about
We're happy to have you join our wonderful Tantra community in Minnesota!
Everyone is welcome here - all ages, experience level, relationship status, sexual orientation. Whomever you are, we provide a space where you can explore what it means to connect with other like minded people.
We offer introductory workshops on communication, touch, meditation, breathing, relationship, intimacy, sacred sexuality, tantric teachings, practices, and more. We also offer longer weekend retreats. Our retreats answer a deep human need; the need to step away from daily concerns and to simply rest. Without rest, reflection and re-creation, we exist in survival mode. We come together to share, learn, and support one another in our practices, ultimately benefitting all areas of our lives.
Because of the size of our group, we ask that you please add a last name (real or pseudo) or initial so we can distinguish between members.
Thank you for your interest!
Namaste
(I honor the divine in you that is also within me)

Tantra is a path of sensual awakening and exploration that helps us move out of ordinary states and enter states of heightened feeling and awareness. Simple, accessible practices can enhance the pleasure, sensuality, and satisfaction of your everyday experience.
We use the transformative power of community, mindful movement, touch, breath and sound to cultivate more pleasure, joy, and intimacy. This allows us to live more fully and more consciously.
