Authentic Tantra in Austin Texas | Retreats by Ma Ananda Sarita
Oct 31, 2025
Ma Ananda Sarita is returning to the United States for the first time in nearly a decade.
This January 2026, she will be leading two signature retreats and workshops, Tantra Transformation and Goddess Essence at a breathtakingly luxurious venue in Austin, Texas.
Sarita’s visit to the U.S. comes as part of a limited trip to appear on select podcasts and speaking engagements. It’s uncertain when, or if, she will return again soon, making this a truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity meet with one of the world’s most respected Tantra teachers.
Who Is Ma Ananda Sarita
Ma Ananda Sarita is an internationally respected Tantra teacher and founder of Tantra Essence Tantra School. For 27 years she has devoted her life to teaching and sharing Tantra.
Her journey began in the early 1970s when, at just seventeen, she left her home in the West and travelled to India. There she met the enlightened master Osho, whose community became her home for the next twenty-six years.
Seventeen of those years were spent in Osho’s direct presence, absorbing a transmission that shaped the rest of her life. Under his guidance, she was initiated into the depths of Tantra and meditation. Sarita often shares that humans are “walking divinity,” expressions of divine nature and consciousness clothed in human form. In her view, our natural state is bliss, but layers of conditioning and repression gradually separate us from that inner joy. Every teaching she shares is devoted to reversing that split and guiding people back to the original blueprint of vitality and aliveness that has always lived within.
Sarita’s body of work includes a wide range of retreats she has designed along with Tantra teacher and practitioner trainings. These include the signature Tantra Transformation retreat, Goddess Essence, the Seven-Level Soulmate Series for couples, Master Lover Retreat and online program, Tantra Massage Training, and the Tantra Teacher Training for professional facilitators.
Beyond her live teachings, Sarita has authored books and created online courses to carry her message to a worldwide audience.
Upcoming Events & Retreats in Austin, Texas
Tantra Transformation
- Teachers: Ma Ananda Sarita & Dharmaraj
- Dates: 3rd–9th January, 2026
- Location: Austin, Texas, USA
- Open to: All genders and levels of experience
Most people don’t realize that the very struggles they face have their roots in unhealed childhood imprints. We may grow and meditate for years, yet certain patterns still pull us back into the same emotional loops that imprint on a cellular and energetic level.
In Tantra Transformation, these invisible imprints are met and rewired at the level of the body and the subconscious. Sarita and Dharmaraj hold a deeply structured yet fluid journey that integrates the ancient Tantric path of awakening with modern hypnotherapy and psychotherapy. Together, these modalities access the subconscious terrain where our core conditioning lives.
Through this work, participants experience the feeling of actually being released from the past.
This seven-day retreat moves through the map of seven-year life cycles, a psychological and energetic framework Sarita has refined over decades of teaching. Each cycle represents a stage of development, from early childhood to mature adulthood, and each carries its own initiations.
- 0–7 years: Where our sense of belonging and basic self-worth are formed. Here we meet our inner child, the tender being who first learned what love felt like (or didn’t).
- 7–14 years: The age of identity and same-gender bonding. Here we reclaim the power of mirroring, healing the longing to belong.
- 14–21 years: The exploration of attraction and polarity. Here we unravel the stories of rejection, first love, and the awakening of sexual energy.
- 21–28 years: The years of intimacy and partnership. Here we bring awareness to how we choose and where we lose ourselves.
- 28–35 years and beyond: The phase of soul alignment. Here we reclaim the union of love and purpose and explore our sacred sexual energy.
Through carefully guided regressions, breath, ritual, emotional release, and meditative touch, participants revisit each phase, allowing what was frozen to move again. The body is our deepest archive of memory, and in this experience you meet every version of yourself with awareness and love, until nothing remains in exile.
From that place, new patterns begin to emerge where you remember yourself as the living intelligence of existenc. You realize that you are vast and capable of creating from love.
Goddess Essence Retreat
- Teachers: Ma Ananda Sarita
- Dates: 12th–15th January 2026
- Location: Austin, Texas, USA
- Open to: Women only
Goddess Essence is a four-day immersion for women who are ready to awaken the fullness of their feminine nature. Under the gentle, experienced guidance of Ma Ananda Sarita, participants are invited into an environment of trust and genuine sisterhood.
This retreat marks Part 1 of Sarita’s four-part Goddess Essence series, which explores the feminine power centers in a progressive journey of transformation. In this first part, titled Unveil Your Inner Goddess, the focus is on the Heart Chakra, the energetic center through which love, compassion, and creative expression naturally flow.
Many women arrive carrying subtle forms of self-rejection or fatigue from constantly trying to meet external expectations. In the modern world, the feminine body often becomes a battlefield of comparison and self-critique. The Goddess Essence retreat provides a safe and supportive space where the focus is on unlearning these patterns.
Throughout the retreat, the exploration deepens into what Sarita calls the three stages of love, love of self, love of another, and love of the whole. The first stage, self-love, forms the foundation of the work. Here, participants confront the internalized voices that diminish their worth or distort their self-image. Through guided inquiry and body-based awareness, these voices begin to lose authority, allowing a new form of inner dialogue to emerge, one grounded in self-acceptance.
The second stage, loving another, introduces relational awareness. Women learn how to stay rooted in their own center while connecting authentically with others, dissolving the pattern of over-giving or self-abandonment that so many carry.
The third stage, loving the whole, expands this capacity for love beyond the personal into the universal. As the heart chakra opens, love ceases to depend on external validation. It becomes a steady inner presence that naturally radiates into all areas of life.
For many, Goddess Essence serves as a turning point for a reclamation of a divinely feminine identity that is rooted in the living intelligence of the heart.

Conclusion
We are deeply honored and genuinely excited to be offering these two powerful retreats here in Texas. After nearly a decade away from the U.S., having Ma Ananda Sarita share her transmissions directly on American soil is a special and sacred happening.
For many, this is the first opportunity to experience Sarita’s work in person and to learn through the energetic precision and presence that can only be transmitted face to face.
To bring these experiences to the U.S. is a privilege, and to welcome Sarita, after so many years of her teaching abroad, is an even greater one. We look forward to gathering with you in Austin this January, and sharing with you the living current of authentic Tantra. 💗
