About this Event
A Boutique Festival of Connection, Presence & Celebration
11–13 December 2026 | Auckland, New Zealand
Some experiences stay with you long after they end.
The conversations around the fire.
The laughter shared with strangers who quickly became friends.
The moments of stillness.
The music.
The hugs.
The feeling of arriving exactly as you are and discovering that nothing needs to be added for you to belong.
This is the spirit of One Heart.
For three beautiful days, we come together to celebrate authentic Tantra as a path of awareness, presence and human connection. It is a space where we can slow down, explore, play, meditate, learn and celebrate life alongside a community of open-hearted people.
Intentionally limited to just 144 participants, the festival offers an intimate atmosphere where genuine relationships can naturally unfold. There is time to connect, time to rest, time to dance, and time to simply enjoy being part of something meaningful.
What can you expect?
Throughout the weekend you'll be able to create your own journey by choosing from a rich programme of workshops, ceremonies and experiences led by experienced facilitators.
Together we will explore:
✨ Authentic Tantra teachings and meditation.
✨ Conscious touch and embodied presence.
✨ Breathwork and energy practices.
✨ Emotional awareness and personal growth.
✨ Yoga and movement sessions.
✨ Sacred intimacy and conscious relating.
✨ Psychodrama and experiential workshops.
✨ Live music, mantra and Kirtan.
✨ Ecstatic Dance and celebration.
✨ Sound journeys and deep relaxation.
✨ Rituals that honour the body, the heart and the sacredness of life.
Between sessions, you'll have plenty of space to connect with others, enjoy nourishing meals, relax in nature, or simply take a quiet moment for yourself.
There is no pressure to do everything.
Some of the most beautiful moments happen in the spaces between the workshops.
Why "One Heart"?
The heart reminds us of something beautifully simple.
Beneath our stories, backgrounds and life experiences, we all long for the same things, to love, to be seen, to belong and to live with greater authenticity.
Tantra offer practices that help us experience this directly, not as an idea, but as something we can genuinely feel.
When we gather with openness and presence, those moments of connection become a reminder that we are far less separate than we often imagine.
A Festival with Heart
One Heart is intentionally different from large commercial festivals.
With a smaller group, it's easier to feel at home. Faces become familiar, conversations continue from one day to the next, and a real sense of community begins to emerge.
Whether you're sharing a meal, sitting together in meditation, dancing beneath the stars or having a heartfelt conversation over a cup of tea, every part of the weekend becomes part of the experience.
This Festival is For You If...
• You're curious about authentic Tantra and conscious living.
• You'd like to deepen your relationship with yourself and others.
• You enjoy learning through direct experience.
• You appreciate spaces where authenticity is valued more than appearance.
• You'd like to spend a weekend surrounded by people who value presence, kindness and genuine connection.
You are welcome to come on your own, with a partner or with friends. Many people arrive knowing no one, and by the end of the weekend feel part of a beautiful community.
Our Vision
At Waiheke Mystery School, we believe transformation happens when people feel safe enough to be themselves.
Our intention is to create a space where meditation, embodiment, celebration and authentic connection naturally come together. A space where ancient wisdom is lived in a modern way, and where every person is welcomed with respect, compassion and an open heart.
If you've been longing for a weekend that nourishes your body, inspires your mind and opens your heart, we'd love to welcome you to the One Heart Tantra Festival.
Come as you are.
Leave with new friendships, new perspectives, and perhaps a quieter, more open heart than when you arrived.
