1. SkyDancing Tantra — Love &
Ecstasy Training (LET) Four
Springs Retreat Center, Middletown, CA (North of Napa Valley) | May 22–29, 2026
One of the most respected and
lineage-rooted tantra immersions on the West Coast, this week-long training was
developed by Margot Anand, a pioneer of neo-tantra in the West. Set 10 minutes
from the legendary Harbin Hot Springs, Four Springs sits on hundreds of lush
acres with private cabins, a seasonal pool, and exquisite workshop spaces
surrounded by hills and wildflowers.
The Love & Ecstasy Training
unfolds in three progressive cycles — body ecstasy, sexual healing, and chakra
expansion into expanded states — and is wide open: solo or partnered, ages 18
to 80+, any gender or orientation. This isn't a weekend dip; it's a week-long
deep dive into the nervous system, the body as temple, and desire as a doorway
to the sacred. Expect breathwork, movement, conscious touch, partner practices,
and the kind of authentic vulnerability that changes something permanent in
you.
Cost: ~$2,365–$2,615/person.

of hope that carries forward long after the festival ends. Karuna-retreats

Festival," or weekend only — making it accessible even if you can't take

becoming like family. Retreat Guru A beautiful entry point for those newer to this world, or
