Initiation: The Tantric Path
A 4-day journey into Presence, Embodiment & Authentic Connection
2-5 October 2026
Rishikesh
A grounded Tantra retreat for people who want to reconnect with their body, open the heart and experience deeper connection.
Tantra, Reimagined
Tantra is an invitation to become more present — in your body, your emotions, your relationships and your experience of life.
At this retreat, Tantra is explored through:
Meditation
Coming into stillness and awareness.
Breath & Body
Learning to feel, release and inhabit the body more fully.
Connection
Exploring authentic communication and conscious relationship.
Embodiment
Moving beyond understanding something intellectually to actually experiencing it.
This is the right retreat for you if you want to:
Feel more at home in your body.
Reconnect with your emotions.
Experience intimacy without losing yourself.
Understand and shift old patterns of relating.
Feel more present, alive and connected.
Meet yourself beyond the roles you play every day.
WHAT WILL YOU EXPERIENCE?
A journey from mind → body → connection → presence
MEDITATION - Practices that cultivate awareness, stillness and inner presence.
BREATH & BODY -Explore breath, sensation, movement and embodied awareness.
TANTRA TEACHINGS- Discover traditional Tantric perspectives on consciousness, relationship and human experience.
CONSCIOUS CONNECTION- Guided practices that explore presence, communication, awareness and connection with others.
EMOTIONAL AWARENESS -Create space to notice, feel and understand what moves through you.
INTEGRATION -Time for reflection, nature, silence and allowing your experiences to settle.
What are partner practices?
Partner practices are structured exercises designed to explore presence and connection.
Depending on the practice, these may include eye-gazing, movement, breath awareness, conscious communication and other forms of relational awareness.
You can always choose your level of participation.
Many people arrive at a retreat knowing no one. We maintain a gender balance so that everyone can participate equally in partner exercises. You don’t need a partner, previous Tantra experience or any particular spiritual background to join.
You simply need curiosity and a willingness to explore yourself.
I began exploring Tantra through the teachings of Ma Ananda Sarita and completed a two-year Tantra Teacher Training within her lineage Tantra Essence in bali. I have also organized and been a part of 40+ Tantra retreats in the last 3 years, giving me a hands-on experience with holding space.
Today, I facilitate Tantra retreats and spaces for people to explore meditation, embodiment, conscious connection and relationship.
My approach is grounded in awareness rather than performance. It is based on-
Presence. Awareness. Embodiment. Consent. Connection.
Experience the environment of the retreat through:
Meditation. Movement. Embodiment. Connection. Nature. Silence. Sharing.
The workshop was my first experience. Initially I was apprehensive & wasn't sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was incredibly warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental, making it easy to feel comfortable from the start.
It was very meaningful experience that left me feeling relaxed, connected, and positive.
I'm glad I took the opportunity to attend and I'm surely looking forward to upcoming workshops.
Hi All, Will try to keep it short this time:) It was a deeply personal experience for me, thanks to everyone for coming together for this and the organisers and volunteers for organising.
Hi Guys,
Thank you for the opportunity to participate in the event. It was wonderfully executed and a fantastic chance for self-exploration, especially during sessions. While I felt I couldn't fully dive as deep into the experience as I wanted to this time, I look forward to attending future sessions to keep growing.It was truly wonderful to meet all of you beautiful people!
For me the major takeaways were --
Danced like nobody was watching. (Long held dream)
Actually listened without analysing
Had difficulty accepting that I was being given love, but was able to receive it.
During the dance "took up space".
Thank you everyone for creating a safe and warm space! :)
