Dance Meets Tantra: Rendezvous @ Boulder CO, an Evening Immersion

What happens when dance, eros, intimacy, and ritual all meet in one space?

You live for dance spaces where your full, raw, unfiltered expression is not only welcomed, but celebrated.

But, you don't just want to dance alone the whole time.
You want to be deeply met.
Not just through physical contact - but to be truly seen, held, and understood.

You long for a dance floor with enough attunement, trust, and permission to allow your beautiful erotic nature to be felt and expressed.
To slow down and feel your center.
To let the music touch every part of you.
To unapologetically shake dat ass and allow eros to pulse through every cell in your body.

And you need it all to hold a deeper meaning.
Not just a brief encounter with pleasure and connection.
It needs to touch your soul.
It needs to be a prayer that ripples out and beyond.

Welcome to Dance Meets Tantra: Rendezvous.

What goes down at DMT: Rendezvous?

We move through 3 phases over the course of the evening:

1. Infuse the field with trust, permission, and attunement.
Practices to support you in feeling safe and courageous - to own your boundaries, needs, and desires.

2. Deepen the field with intimacy, eros, and play.
Ritual space to welcome your authentic, vulnerable, messy, sexy, full expression.

3. Dance the field into embodied, interconnected aliveness.
Bring it all together in deep, soulful, sensual, intimate dance.

We close each container with space to ground, harvest, and land the ship.

Our intentions for these evening immersions:

1. Provide an entryway for newcomers into the ever-evolving world of Dance Meets Tantra.

2. Create opportunities for folks already inside the DMT field to stay connected to each other and the work.

3. Drop into dance space that touches every part of us - body, sex, heart, and soul.

Note on Tantra:
For us - Tantra is the practice and art of being fully alive. Our intention with Dance Meets Tantra is to support people in coming into greater love, respect and relationship with themselves, each other, and the earth. We believe that dance, eros and tantra are fundamental aspects of being alive, empowered, and creative - so we invite various explorations in support of liberating our creativity and life force.

Dance Meets Tantra is a space of:

໑ Vulnerability: to be fully alive we need to get real. We create safer spaces to compassionately own and get present to the full range of our emotions, fears, blocks and discomfort.

໑ Permission: to be the full expression of ourselves - including our sensual and erotic nature - however that looks.

໑ Safety: boundaries, consent, attunement, and self-responsibility are essential and foundational to navigating safer space together.

Testimonials for Dance Meets Tantra:

"DMT is a beautifully, well-oiled offering. The container is created with an immense amount of care, intention, and trauma-informed awareness. Atilla, Spencer, Gemma, and all of the assistants cultivated a space of permission, of grace, of courage, of trust, of exploration, of depth, of joy, of love, and of acceptance. Whether you are brand new to the worlds of tantra and dance, or a devotee of these ways of life, DMT has something to offer everyone. Thank you for an incredible experience that re-sparked inspiration in my entire being!" ~ Brooke Alexander

"Having taught Tantra for 30 years, I know when a container is pristinely created and held and was impressed with how Spencer and Atilla build and held it. Before contact in the dances, they led us through 3 "Puja" stations that integrated the wisdom shared earlier of connecting first in our energy bodies with breath and, only with presence, going to touch. These experiences prepared this experienced dance community to move into contact from outside the auric field first, so settling to the nervous system of us empaths. I felt the contact more deeply for this Tantric approach to it that I left supremely satisfied."

"The instructional embodied ease of the facilitation was amazing! Their ability to create a safe container to go deeper or be wildly playful as a participant was amazing and appreciated! Their ability to speak directly and precisely with clear energy and boundaries, combined with inner wisdom and strength, supported me in being more open and trusting!" ~Candy James

"It's rare that I go to something that is truly life-changing & empowering, and our Dance Meets Tantra day together was exactly that. It was one of the greatest days of personal growth, fun, and sensual exploration I've ever had." ~ Jason Lamb

"It’s truly hard to put into words the profundity of what took place at the dance meets tantra retreat. There was an undeniable intelligence moving through each day that organized the field in the exact ways it needed. Moving through layers of shadow and alchemizing them into wholeness. Each person brought a piece to the puzzle that was incredibly important and the collective healing that unfolded was beyond anything I have ever been a part of. This container allowed it all to be there - tenderness, pleasure, joy, grief, beauty, pain, ecstasy, heartbreak, heart opening. I felt deeply safe in the space (and it takes a lot for me to feel safe) and a huge reason for that is the high quality presence and care each of the facilitators brought. It really was such a special experience that I will forever hold in my heart with deep gratitude and reverence." ~Anaia Sundara
