Have you been curious about Tantra?
Interested in experiencing TRUE CONNECTION with yourself, the Divine, and others?
This evening's event will begin with the very basics.
My goal for the evening is to reconnect you with your TRUE DIVINE NATURE, to experience the fountain of unconditional love and acceptance we all have access to but have forgotten. Once you are floating within your own BLISSFUL MAGNIFICENCE, I will lead you through some fun simple exercises with each other that will help you to truly experience an embodied heart-opening intimacy with life.
What you will gain:
*Connection
*Friendship
*Community
*Personal Development
*Witness Consciousness
*LaughterWhat is Tantra?
Many think of Tantra as a way to enhance their sexuality. While that is an amazing benefit of practicing Tantra, that’s only part of the picture.
Tantra isn’t just a practice. It is method of spiritual advancement as derived from a sophisticated lineage of yogic masters of the ancient world. These methods enable us to cultivate the energy of our bodies (physical, energetic), mind and soul, so we can blossom into our authentic natures. By doing so, we can more joyfully and skillfully engage in our contemporary world. By recognizing our power within the quantum field of love and light, and the influences we can have within it, we can master positive change in our own lives and of the world. The ego mind believes having its desires fulfilled will bring happiness but that is seldom true. The Soul lives in bliss. By identifying more and more with your divine nature, you release your desires and discover who you truly are.

- Divine Rebellion Mini Tantra FestivalEarthdance, Plainfield , MA
~ To embody joy, intimacy, and conscious connection is the ultimate act of rebellion. The Divine Rebellion Festival is where we gather to heal, replenish, and ignite our collective fire ~
We gather at Divine Rebellion to create more than a festival–we are weaving a living, breathing tapestry of community, courage, and joy. We believe that authentic connection, radical inclusion, and collective accountability are powerful forms of resistance in a world that often asks us to shrink or divide.
We honor diversity in all its forms, welcoming every story, background, and expression. Here, we celebrate pleasure and play as sacred acts, knowing that joy is not a luxury, but a necessity for transformation and resilience.
We remember the roots of Tantra as a movement of rebellion–born to challenge the confines of tradition and reclaim the fullness of embodied experience. In this spirit, we dare to meet one another with openness, honesty, and reverence.
We are committed to building spaces where healing, repair, and growth are possible. We recognize that mistakes are inevitable, and we meet them with humility, accountability, and a willingness to learn.
We show up–wholeheartedly, courageously, and with deep gratitude for everyone who says "yes" to this journey. We trust in the magic that is created when we come together with intention, creativity, and love.
We are Divine Rebellion
We are the antidote
We are the spark for lasting changeTickets here:
