Eros, Death & Resurrection Easter Weekend
With Tantra, Shibari & Dance
An embodied journey through power and devotional surrender.
Step into a sacred temple of transformation, where we invite you to explore the deep currents of polarity through the rich modalities of Tantra, Shibari, Dance, Ritual and Psychology. Together, we will breathe life into the sacred tensions that shape our human experience — we explore the polarities of life and death through eros, embodiment, ritual, vulnerability and intimacy.
Eros - Sacred Life Force
Eros is not merely sexual desire but the sacred force of life itself — the raw current of creative aliveness that longs to merge, express, and be felt fully through the body and heart. It is the energy that animates existence, arising not from lack but from overflowing presence — a devotional yearning to celebrate connection, embody divinity, and dissolve separation. In Tantra, eros is a holy intelligence that expands consciousness when met with awareness, breath, and surrender; it is prayer in motion, where pleasure becomes a pathway to awakening rather than a pursuit of gratification.
Death & Grief
Death is not only the ending of life, but the ongoing invitation to let die the versions of ourselves that no longer serve — identities, roles, dreams, and stories we once clung to for belonging, worth, or safety. These inner deaths are often invisible to the world yet profoundly felt within, and they ask to be grieved with the same reverence as the loss of a person. To truly evolve, we must allow parts of us to fall away — the lover we thought we’d become, the future that never happened, the masks we outgrew — and honor the ache of that release. Grieving these subtle deaths is not weakness; it is the sacred act of clearing space for what is truer to emerge. We will grief in community as ritual. With grief, death becomes initiation — the threshold where we reclaim freedom, authenticity, and aliveness.
Life & Resurrection
Life and rebirth are the sacred exhale that follows the surrender of death — the moment the soul inhales possibility again, not by returning to what was, but by awakening into what is newly true. Rebirth is not a return; it is an emergence. It is the tender first breath after darkness, the quiet joy of realizing there is space again to dream, to desire, to love. And if we truly want to live, we must be willing to commit — not to comfort or expectation — but to living in devotion to our soul’s purpose. In Tantric knowing, life is celebrated not because it is guaranteed, but because it is a conscious choice. To say yes to life is to say yes to full alignment — to risk being seen, to embody what we came here to express, and to honor vitality as sacred. Every beginning is a miracle born from the courage to let something die — and the devotion to live truthfully in what is reborn.
We will establish a trauma-informed foundation of consent, care and self-responsibility to go on a deep journey that weaves together conscious dance, tantra, shadow-work, shibari & ceremony.
We are coming to let go of our masks and to explore the vulnerable, messy, sweaty, beauty of our bodies, hearts, & souls.
You will depart this experience connected to a wonderful community of humans, and feeling fully alive, on fire, and ready to bring new ways of being, connecting, and creating into the rest of your life.
