Learn Tantra in the most safe & authentic way
I am well aware of the myths surrounding Tantra.
It's disheartening that the word Tantra is sometimes misunderstood as a space for orgies or polyamory. Some even associate Tantra with black magic or witchcraft.
In reality, Tantra is a profound path of self-discovery. It is a space for emotional healing. It offers multidimensional tools for spiritual growth.
I am dedicated to providing a safe, respectful, and authentic environment for your transformative journey.
With Tantra Essence, you can trust that you are in the hands of experienced facilitators. Here, we honour the true essence of Tantra. We serve you by creating a safe space where you can thrive, grow, and discover the magic within.
I invite you to look beyond the myths and allow me and my kaula (team) to guide you towards the real wisdom of Tantra. This is a space where you will rediscover yourself, experience profound connection, and have a renewed celebration for life.
-- love & blessings --
Ma Ananda Sarita
