About this Event

Dance Meets Tantra: Wild Edge Retreat September 18–21 | Private Retreat Center | Near Denver, CO This is your invitation to dance the wild edges of polarity, devotion, and harmony through conflict. We are living in polarized times. The culture invites us to pick a side, lash out, or shut down. But what if the challenge and polarity of these times is not a problem to be solved, but a doorway? An invitation to hold the tension of differences that may seem irreconcilable? Can you let your body, heart, and soul become a crucible that births beauty out of opposites? Can you let yourself become an embodied altar of friction, union, grief and eros? We’ll work with the tensions of masculine and feminine, self and other, yes and no, grief and eros. We'll explore the tender edges inside us vs them and dominance and submission. This retreat is not about collapsing or bypassing into sameness, but to integrate difference & reclaim the full spectrum of who we are. We'll use the power and wisdom of our body to guide the way. We’ll slow down, and let the ‘soft animal of our body love what it loves. We’ll move in ritual, in stillness, in silences, and in rapturous aliveness. Grief rituals for sharing and releasing our masculine and feminine wounding. Surrendering and leading on the dance floor. Shadow work, and celebration of beauty. And a hell of a lot of being with truth. This is not about fixing polarity. This is about learning to dance with it, devotionally, ecstatically, and in service to something larger than personal comfort. Let's ride the wild edge together. Join us if you're called. ✨Who This Is For Lovers, leaders, and edge-walkers ready to: Transmute wounding into celebration Embody power without domination, surrender without collapse Embrace tension without bypass Stand for unity rooted in truth ✨ What to Expect: 🌀Movement & Embodiment Practices 🌀Ritual & Temple Arts 🌀Contact Improvisation 🌀Ecstatic Dance 🌀Land journeys and reverence for nature 🌀Conscious Kink 🌀Boundaries on and off the dance floor 🌀Tantric & Energetic Polarity Play 🌀Grief Ritual 🌀Slowing down 🌀Shadow Work 🌀Healthy sexual expression 🌀Delicious meals from a local chef 🌀Embodied purpose Retreat Center & Lodging Held on 145 acres of sacred forest land, just 45 minutes from Denver.

There is nothing sexual in nature in the activities we share. Sometimes sexual energy arises, and it is only permitted within the context of consent, agreements, and the container that is set. Our intention with Dance Meets Tantra is to support individuals in deepening their love, respect, and relationship with themselves, others, and the earth. We believe that dance, eros, and Tantra are fundamental aspects of living a vibrant, empowered, and creative life. Through various explorations, we aim to liberate creativity and life force, inviting you to step into your fullest expression. We hold deep honor and respect for classical Tantra and the lineages from which it originates. While classical Tantra profoundly influences us, we do not present ourselves as representatives of classical Tantra. Learn more at dancemeetstantra.com/faq.
