Real Stories From Tantra Retreat Participants
Tantra School Of Love
Healing. Awakening. Coming Home.
We often get asked:
“What really happens at a Tantra retreat?”
It’s a fair question. We live in a world full of filtered photos, curated promises, and spiritual buzzwords.
But behind the rituals and breathwork and teachings, what truly makes a Tantra retreat life-changing are the people — and their courage to show up exactly as they are.
Below are real stories from participants who joined one of our Tantra School of Love retreats. Some arrived raw and heartbroken. Others unsure. Some skeptical. But all of them walked away changed — not because we offered them a miracle, but because they chose to be with themselves, honestly, and be witnessed.
Anna — Remembering Her Deepest Longing
“I came to the retreat just weeks after a painful breakup.”
Anna had been through the unraveling of a long-term relationship. One that ended suddenly and left her questioning if real love — the kind that sees you and stays — was possible for her.
She almost didn’t come. “It felt too soon,” she said. “Too tender.”
But something in her — perhaps her soul — kept nudging her forward.
On the second day, during a heart-sharing ritual, she sat in front of another participant, hands held, eyes open, heart raw. As tears streamed down her face, she whispered:
“I just want to be someone’s truly beloved. Not chosen for what I do. Just… for who I am.”
And in that moment, something shifted. The room held her. Her longing was no longer shameful — it was sacred.
Anna later shared:
“It turns out that beneath my biggest fear was my deepest truth. I thought it was impossible for me. But now I know, I am worthy of love that’s real. Even if it begins with me.”
Camille — Finding Safety in Her Own Body
Camille arrived quietly. She had big, kind eyes and a nervous energy.
“I’ve always felt uncomfortable in group spaces,” she said in the opening circle. “Like I had to manage everyone else’s emotions to stay safe.”
Years of people-pleasing and emotional trauma had taught her to hide — even from herself. But something inside her knew it was time.
Through gentle conscious presence, grounding exercises, and silent movement rituals, Camille started to let her body lead.
On the third evening, during a movement meditation, she stopped dancing. She sat on the floor, wrapped herself in a shawl, and placed her hand over her heart.
“I don’t want to perform anymore,” she whispered. “I just want to be.”
That night, she slept deeply for the first time in weeks. And the next morning, she laughed freely at breakfast — the kind of laughter that comes not from lightness, but from release.
“I didn’t know it was possible to feel this safe… inside myself,” she later wrote in her journal.
John and Anne — Rediscovering Each Other After 17 Years
They arrived together — but distant.
Anne walked slightly ahead. John seemed unsure where to put his hands.
“We’ve been married for 17 years,” Anne said in the opening circle. “And we’ve tried everything — therapy, books, vacations. We love each other. But we don’t know how to feel each other anymore.”
Throughout the retreat, they moved slowly. Sometimes, Anne practiced alone. Sometimes John sat quietly during pair work. But on the fifth day, during a conscious touch ritual, something changed.
They were invited to explore holding hands with presence — not to achieve, fix, or seduce — just to feel.
Anne rested her palm in John’s. He looked into her eyes, and for the first time in years, he stayed.
Later, Anne shared:
“It was like the fog lifted. I remembered who he is. And more importantly, I remembered who I am when I’m with him.”
They left the retreat with a new ritual: ten minutes of eye-gazing each week, no phones, no distractions.
“Tantra didn’t just save our marriage,” John said. “It gave us back our love story.”
Dacota — Finally Feeling Safe as a Gay Man in a Heteronormative Space
Dacota almost canceled the day before.
“Most Tantra spaces feel very couple-y and straight,” he said. “I didn’t want to be the token queer person.”
But instead of finding exclusion, he found reverence.
At Tantra School of Love, every practice is grounded in energy, consent, and curiosity — not gendered roles or assumptions. Participants were invited to partner based on energy dynamics, not labels. And every choice was optional.
Dacota partnered with women, men, and nonbinary participants during the retreat. Each connection was unique — and respectful.
“For the first time in my spiritual journey, I didn’t have to justify myself,” he said. “I could just be.”
He left the retreat with a full heart — and a few new friends who still text him weekly.
Erik — Dropping the Mask
Erik was the “strong one.”
He was successful, articulate, and generous. The kind of man others admire. But underneath the polished exterior, Erik felt tired. Tired of holding it all together.
“I came to the retreat to reconnect with myself,” he said. “But I didn’t realize how far I had drifted.”
During a sacred sharing circle, Erik stood up and admitted something he’d never said aloud:
“I don’t want to be strong all the time. I want to be held. I want to rest.”
The room responded with quiet nods, tears, and open arms.
That weekend, Erik let himself cry in front of strangers. He allowed someone else to hold space for him — and in doing so, he finally began to feel like himself again.
“It was the first time I was seen without performing,” he said. “And I’ll never forget what it felt like to be loved in that place.”
These Are Not Just Testimonials — They Are Testimonies of the Heart
Each of these stories is a reminder that healing is not reserved for the special few.
You don’t need to be “spiritual enough,” “ready enough,” or “perfect.”
You just need to be willing to listen to the whisper in your heart that says:
There is more. And I am worth it.
