ACROTANTRA Fest 2023

Enter the ✧ Acrotantra Fest ✧ portal at Gaia Dance Temple, Lake Atitlàn for a 5 day celebration and multidimensional magic. ACROTANTRA is a new modality that marries the wisdom of Tantric pleasure and consent teachings with the creative play and sensory activation of Acroyoga. Our definition of tantra roots itself in intimacy, full presence, authentic relating and safety in the body. Acroyoga gives us a literal playground to embody these tools. ✧ TICKETS HERE ✧ https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/acrotantra-fest-2023-tickets-425111238157 Acro+Tantra brings two worlds that are very similar and complementary together. Both tantra and Acro use practices such as physical touch, communication, creative play, sensory activation, exploration of human connection and the senses. In essence, these communities work with themes of trust and vulnerability as a way to build intimacy and authentic connection to others. When we are vulnerable, we are authentic and therefore able to create deeper connections in a shorter amount of time. Through the ancient spiritual wisdom of Tantra, we learn to express our boundaries, fears and desires. This in turn, expands our capacity to experience pleasure. When combined with the practice of acroyoga, we have the opportunity to apply this knowledge in a joyful co-creation of presence and surrender— we learn through fun! ✧ Our Pillars are Safety, Fun and Freedom ✧ ~ SAFETY ~ Safety is the fertile ground from everything blossoms. When the foundation is built around trust, security, and support, everything developed on top of it will grow and flourish. This is the first step we take in approaching any desire and a necessary part of any healing journey. ~ FUN ~ Fun is the doorway to be in the present moment. IT IS THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY TO LEARN. When having fun we are unable to be anywhere else because we are fully captivated by the emotions rising in the instant. When our inner child (or inner children!) is playing he/she/they are fully present. ~ FREEDOM ~ When we are able to express all of ourselves: our unique boundaries, needs, desires, fears and weirdness, we feel freedom deep in our essence. Freedom for the Body means to express our birthright to be naked with no feelings of shame or guilt around the body. Body freedom also means the body is not sexualized based on nakedness. Freedom for the Mind is to be able to express an experience and have it received consciously— and for the body and spirit to be given a voice. Freedom of the Spirit is to allow the inner child and heart to lead the way. Come let us give you the tools and the playground! ✧ WHAT TO EXPECT ✧ During these five days of celebration, we will offer different levels of Acroyoga and Tantra every day, so that everyone finds their sweet learning spot. We will have some of the best acroyoga teachers out there and will be blessed by the presence of our favorite Tantra teachers.

Our nights will be guided by the music with ecstatic dances, cacao ceremony, breathwork journeys, sacred rituals and magical surprises. No Alcohol or Drugs permitted onsite. WE ARE THE MEDECINE!
