Welcome to REVEL: A Convergence by Dance Meets Tantra

We are thrilled to invite you to this first-of-its-kind gathering—a celebration of teachers and practices that have shaped Dance Meets Tantra at its core.

REVEL is a curated, intimate, weekend deep-dive into the vibrant intersection of conscious dance forms, relational intimacy, somatic attunement, kink, shadow-work, and ceremony & ritual. In weaving a diversity of modalities together, we will create a rich tapestry and truly transformational journey that is far more than the sum of its parts.

Anchored and curated by Dance Meets Tantra and its founders, and guided by luminaries like KamalaDevi McClure, The Light Dark Institute, Z (Zahava Griss), Amy Rogg (Underbelly), and others, we will build a strong container and craft a cohesive arc over two days in the beautiful Berkeley Alembic space.

We’re coming to let go of our masks, build our capacity, and explore the vulnerable, messy, sweaty beauty of our bodies, hearts, and souls. Led by Dance Meets Tantra and some of our favorite facilitators in the world, we will establish a trauma-informed foundation of consent, care, and self-responsibility and co-create a field of love, connection, and profound learning.

And to elevate our collective experience, we are excited to announce that Equanimous—a renowned artist and producer—will be playing a 90-minute set to cap off our weekend together.

Note: if you have not been to a Dance Meets Tantra immersion before, we encourage you to attend the upcoming Ecstatic Immersion on September 29 in Berkeley. https://www.tickettailor.com/events/dancemeetstantra/1319940

About Dance Meets Tantra

Originating in Boulder, CO, Dance Meets Tantra has been traveling nationwide (and soon internationally) offering sold-out monthly immersions that explore the confluence of conscious dance forms with relational intimacy, somatic attunement, ritual & ceremony, and kink & shadow work. It is truly a transformational journey and an emerging body of work dedicated to empowering communities to relate with more authenticity and aliveness while creating safer spaces where individuals can embrace their wholeness—both the light and the dark—while cultivating a collective consciousness that is profoundly greater than the sum of its parts.

Dance Meets Tantra is also a movement. Across the country, we’ve seen an outpouring of yearning, love, and passion for conscious dance to evolve—embracing a fuller spectrum of human expression, and creating safer ways to welcome deep vulnerability and eros.

Perhaps you’ve been feeling this call– for dance to become more attuned and embrace a wider spectrum of expression, and for tantra to be more embodied, playful, and vibrant. You instinctively know that something extraordinary happens when embodied movers gather with full permission to be alive, to connect, and to share their magic.

This is Dance Meets Tantra.

A Note on Tantra

For us, tantra is the practice and art of being fully alive. Our intention with Dance Meets Tantra is to support individuals in deepening their love, respect, and relationship with themselves, others, and the earth. We believe that dance, eros, and tantra are fundamental aspects of living a vibrant, empowered, and creative life. Through various explorations, we aim to liberate creativity and life force, inviting you to step into your fullest expression.

​Amy Rogg - Underbelly

Amy Rogg (she/her) is an activator and nurturer of the human spirit. She is also the conduit, creator, and facilitator of Underbelly: The Art of Slowing Down.

Amy draws people out of modernity's urgent, consumptive, and transactional ways of living and into greater communion and relationship by stoking pathways of intimate awareness, attunement, and subtle energy. She gently anchors people back into their emotional interior and bodily wisdom by slowing down, listening, and embodying what is alive and honest. Amy’s approach isn't to fix, control or push, but to heart-fully tend to the ever-changing human condition as we relate to each other & the planet. Her medicine is in the creation of atmosphere, being led by the moment, sensing group energy fields, conversing with the nervous system, and cultivating intentional space for life’s vital intelligence to do the work it already knows how to do.

Amy has a B.A. in television/film production and was an actor and improviser in Los Angeles. She has led yoga (E-RYT 500) and meditation for over a decade, is a clinical herbalist in training, and has been facilitating/engaging in somatic and relational movement practices since 2012.

Tani & Leslie - Light Dark Institute

The Light Dark Institute is dedicated to bringing more love to our world through helping people fall in love with the things they have most been rejecting, both in themselves and in the world.

We work with thought leaders, conscious communities, and anyone who has a burning desire to know themselves fully with nothing held back. Our work teaches people to engage the darker, unknown aspects of themselves and their world with play and curiosity, so that they can step into a life of living, loving and leading with full power, full surrender, and profound connection with all that is.

Tani Thole and Leslie Rogers have dedicated their lives to the study and exploration of the human psyche and its relationship with existence, through spirituality, psychology, personal development, sexuality, embodiment, and deep relationship with the natural world. They founded the Light Dark Institute out of a passion for sharing the ways that exploring our dark sides can radically awaken and liberate us from the old patterns that have held us back and kept us in judgment of ourselves and the world around us. Their teachings support leaders and changemakers to deepen their capacity to lead from love in our evolving world, with hearts courageously open to embracing what is.
