Awakening Passion: Trust, Play & Love
With Thomas and Sara Stout
February 26 - March 1, 2026
Passion and aliveness are not things we must chase — they are already within us, waiting to be awakened. This 4-day retreat invites you to rediscover that inner fire through a blend of movement, mindfulness, and conscious connection. Whether you join solo or with a partner, Awakening Passion offers a pathway to deepen trust, cultivate playfulness, and expand your capacity for love.
Rooted in the SkyDancing Tantra lineage of Margot Anand, this program weaves together the tools to ecstasy and mindful touch to awaken energy and presence. You’ll learn to honor boundaries while exploring freedom, deepen individuality while staying connected, and experience a simple Tantric honoring ritual that invites reverence, authenticity, and heartfelt connection.
With spacious time for integration, guided exercises, and quiet reflection, you’ll leave with practical skills to bring more harmony, confidence, and joy into everyday life. Held at Menla’s serene mountain sanctuary—with optional rejuvenation at the Dewa Spa—this retreat offers a sacred pause to reconnect with your body, your heart, and your true aliveness.
