Tantra Embodied Presents

Awaken to Oneness

A powerful weekend can change how you feel.
A daily practice can change how you live.

Three days on the land to receive the practices deeply. Then eight weeks of live guidance, and a small pod to make them yours, so what opens on the retreat is still with you in six months.

Why this exists

Most retreats end on Sunday. The real work starts on Monday.

You know the feeling. You come home lit up, wide open, certain something shifted. Two weeks later, life has quietly closed back over it.

That isn't a failure of the retreat or of you. It's what happens when a peak experience isn't followed by a practice, and a practice isn't followed by support.

Awaken to Oneness is built around that gap. Three days at Golden Pine Village to step outside the momentum of ordinary life and receive the practices in your body. Then a small pod with its own leader and eight live weeks to tune those practices to the places in your life that are actually asking for attention.

The retreat gives you the experience. The eight weeks after are where the gold is.

Beyond peak experiences

Don't just have a Tantric experience. Learn how to build a Tantric life.

If your experience of Tantra so far has mostly involved intimacy workshops, conscious touch, sexuality, relating, or beautiful peak states, this journey may feel different.

Those experiences can be powerful. We've had them too.

Here, the emphasis is on developing a personal practice that works with the physical, mental, emotional, and energetic dimensions of your life, and on staying with you long enough that it actually takes root.

A practice repeated consistently compounds. Over time the change shows up not only while you are breathing or meditating, but in how you feel, relate, respond, create, love, and live.

We're not trying to give you the best weekend of your year.

We're trying to change what your ordinary Tuesday feels like.
Everything that's included

One journey, built so it sticks.

Every piece below exists to solve a specific way that retreats usually fade. Everyone receives all of it, regardless of the rate they choose.

1
3-Day Residential Retreat at Golden Pine Village · Jan 8–10

Three full days of Classical Tantra, embodied philosophy, breath, meditation, emotional release, energetic practice, ritual, and community on beautiful land between Austin and Houston. Three nourishing meals a day plus snacks, shared lodging or camping, and hot tub, sauna, and cold plunge steps away. This is where you receive the practices in your body, not just your head.

2
Mahavatar Babaji Cosmic Cobra Breath Initiation

A lineage practice for awakening and circulating life-force energy, including learning to work consciously with sexual energy instead of suppressing it or immediately releasing it. This is the practice at the center of everything that follows.

3
8-Week Live Chakra Integration Journey

Eight weekly live online sessions, with recordings. Each week we use a different chakra as a map, find where life feels blocked, and tune your practice toward it. This is the part almost nobody offers, and it's the difference between a beautiful memory and a changed nervous system.

4
Your Integration Pod + Pod Leader

You'll be placed in a pod of about four people, led by a qualified staff member trained in holding space and coaching. Your pod meets over lunch every day of the retreat, has its own WhatsApp thread, and your pod leader checks in with you the day after you get home and again a few days later, the window where the shift usually fades. It's where the more intimate sharing lives, and where you're missed if you go quiet. You'll also be paired with a buddy.

5
The Tantra Awakening Integration Guide

A 50-page written companion to the whole journey: the practices, the framework, the chakra map, and the questions to ask yourself when life gets loud. Updated for every cohort, and built so you can keep going long after the eight weeks end.

6
Recorded Online Content + Session Recordings

You’ll receive recorded online teachings and practices to revisit at your own pace. Miss a week? Travel? Life? Every live integration session is also recorded and yours to revisit.

7
Ongoing Monthly Community Mixer

After the eight weeks, you stay connected. Our monthly online mixer is where the community keeps practicing together, and it's yours to return to whenever you need to remember what you know.

Last year, the retreat and the integration course were sold separately. This year it's one journey, one price, because we've watched what happens when people skip the second half.

How we make it stick

You won't be doing this alone.

The week after a retreat is where most of the drop-off happens. We built the support to land exactly there. And we keep this retreat to 20 participants, with roughly one staff member for every two or three of you, so nobody gets lost in the room.

Your pod

About four people you'll know by name by Sunday. Your pod meets over lunch each day of the retreat and stays connected through the eight weeks. This is where the more intimate sharing lives, and where someone notices if you go quiet.

Your pod leader

A qualified staff member experienced in holding space and supporting integration. They check in with you the day after you get home, again a few days later, and stay with your pod through the whole journey. You'll also be paired with a buddy.

Your Integration Library

You’ll receive a PDF Integration Guide plus recorded online teachings and practices to support your journey. Revisit the material at your own pace, deepen what you learned at the retreat, and use it to shape a practice around what life is asking you to work with now.

Integration was the workshop I didn't realize I needed. It taught me how to tailor all the tools I'd learned into a practice of my own, depending on the chakra I need to focus on at the moment.

Part 1 · The Initiation

Three days to step outside your ordinary patterns.

Body

Movement, embodiment, breath, sensation, emotional release, rest, and pleasure.

Mind

Meditation, Tantric philosophy, witnessing, acceptance, awareness, and understanding your habitual patterns.

Energy

Cobra Breath, life-force energy, energetic awareness, sexual-energy transmutation, and daily practice.

Cobra Breath Initiation

Learn to work consciously with life-force energy.

During the retreat you'll receive initiation into the Mahavatar Babaji Cosmic Cobra Breath lineage. Cobra Breath works with breath, attention, the body, and subtle energy to awaken and circulate life-force energy.

One of its most powerful applications is learning to work consciously with sexual energy rather than simply suppressing it or immediately releasing it. We teach the energetic principles during the retreat; the explicitly sexual application is given as homeplay for you to explore privately, alone or with a partner.

Some practitioners describe a dramatic expansion in pleasure and in the duration of orgasmic states. Experiences vary. The deeper purpose is learning how sexual energy can become fuel for presence, vitality, creativity, devotion, and spiritual practice.

Sexual energy is life-force energy.

Learn how to circulate it, expand it, and bring it into the rest of your life.

Sometimes the deepest shift begins by giving your nervous system enough space to slow down, breathe, and remember what it already knows.

Awaken to Oneness was an amazing, beautiful, transformative experience. I connected deeply with myself in ways I'll never forget, and connected with others deeply as well.

Participant · April 2024
I've been to a handful of Tantra trainings, and this was far and above the most impactful experience I've had. I took away so much personal insight and tools to keep the energy alive and well since then.

Who this is for

This journey may be for you if...

You feel stuck in your head

You want to return to your body, breath, heart, and direct experience of life.

You are spiritually curious

You've explored yoga, therapy, meditation, Buddhism, Hinduism, psychedelics, or personal growth and want embodiment and integration.

You want deeper intimacy

You want to feel safer expressing your truth, asking for what you want, and being seen.

You have done Neo-Tantra

You've had beautiful workshops or peak states, and now want a daily framework you can actually take home.

You want to work with a blockage

You sense that an area of your life is asking for attention and want practices you can tune specifically toward it.

You want a living path

You don't want inspiration that disappears after a weekend. You want tools that evolve with you.

Facilitators

We are not here to be your gurus.

We are not asking you to believe anything blindly. We are practitioners sharing a path that has transformed our lives. You are invited to try the practices, feel what happens in your own body, keep what resonates, and leave the rest.

There are many paths to awakening. This is simply the one that changed ours.

“Try it on and see if it resonates with you.”

Our
promise

If it wasn't worth it, we'll refund you.

We'd rather you not pay for something that isn't right for you. Come to the whole retreat. If at the end of the weekend you feel it wasn't worth it, tell us and we'll refund your tuition. The only parts we keep are $222 for your food and lodging and any room upgrade you purchased, since those are already spent. No questions, no hard feelings.

Not sure which rate is right, or whether this is the right time? Send us a DM or book a short call with Dala. No pitch, just a conversation.

FAQ

Common questions.

Does sex happen at the retreat?

No. Sexual activity is not part of the retreat.

Sexual energy, however, is part of what we learn to work with. Cobra Breath can become a powerful practice for circulating and transmuting sexual energy. We teach the energetic principles during the retreat; the explicitly sexual application is left as homeplay for you to explore privately, alone or with a partner.

Do I need a partner?

No. Many practices are solo, and relational practices are guided with consent, choice, and care. You always choose your level of participation.

I'm completely new to Tantra. Is this for me?

Yes. No previous Tantra, yoga, meditation, energy-work, or spiritual experience is required. We build the foundations together, and your pod means you're never the only new person in the room.

I've done Neo-Tantra. How is this different?

The emphasis here is not on creating a peak experience. You learn a flexible daily framework for working with your physical, mental, emotional, and energetic bodies, then spend eight weeks, with a pod and a pod leader, learning to adapt that practice to what is actually happening in your life.

How much time does the daily practice take?

Most people land somewhere between 10 and 30 minutes a day. Some go longer. We teach 5- and 10-minute versions at the retreat, then spend the eight weeks shaping a practice that fits your actual life. Some days it's five minutes of breath, and that counts.

What if I can't make a session live?

Every online session is recorded. Your pod leader and your pod will help you stay in the current even in weeks you can't be there live.

What are pods, exactly?

A pod is about four participants and one pod leader, a qualified staff member trained in holding space and coaching. Pods meet over lunch each day of the retreat, have their own WhatsApp thread, and your pod leader checks in with you the day after you get home and again a few days later. Pods are where the more intimate sharing happens through the eight weeks. Everyone also gets a buddy, usually from outside their pod.

Is emotional release required?

Nothing is required. Emotional release practices are offered, and you always have full choice about how far you go. Some people cry, some laugh, some sit quietly and breathe. All of it counts.

Do I have to stay overnight?

No. You may attend from 10:00 AM to about 8:00 PM January 8–10 and commute each day. For a deeper immersion, arrive Thursday evening, January 7, and depart Monday morning, January 11.

What's your refund policy?

Cancel for any reason through January 4 and we refund you in full. From January 5 on, we refund your tuition less $222 for food and lodging and any room upgrade you purchased. Once you arrive, our promise above applies: take the whole retreat, and if it wasn't worth it, we refund on those same terms.
