Goddess Temple of Love
The Way of Love
Life As Lovemaking Womens Retreat
The Tantric Path of Sacred Beauty, Devotion & Sensuousness
Tulum, Mexico
Feb 4 - Feb 10, 2027
Journey with Us for 7 days and 6 nights in the
Temple of the Goddess
Come away with us to the lusciousness of the Yucatán where for seven days and six nights we will step out of the hurried rhythm of the world and into another way of being.
A slower way, a sweeter way, a more sensuous way of being.
This is the way of beauty and devotion. A way of meeting life so intimately that the ordinary begins to reveal itself as sacred again and this is The Way of Love.
A Tantric journey into Beauty, Devotion & Sensuousness, held within our private jungle temple in Tulum, Mexico.
We will gather in the ancient way of women engaging in sacred ritual, dancing, creating, adorning, resting, laughing, sharing meals and entering together into the mystery of what it means to live with an open heart.
Our days will be steeped in the Goddess centered wisdom of Sri Vidya and Shakta Tantra, Para Tan Inner Shakti Yoga, Bhakti, Temple Dance, Feminine Form Yoga, Sacred Beauty, Art, Ritual, Sound, Sensual Embodiment and the healing beauty of Ayurveda and the natural world.
Not simply to learn new practices, but to remember how to be deeply touched by life again and return home to yourself.
The Way of Love
Love is not only something we feel, it is a way of meeting the world. There is a way of touch that is an offering of Love. Away of listening that is Love. A way of preparing food, tending the body, adorning ourselves, making art, entering relationship, making love, praying, dancing, grieving, creating and simply sitting beneath a tree that can be experienced as Love.
When we begin to live this way, our entire being softens and the separation between our spiritual life and our everyday life becomes blurred until it is one living prayer.
The body becomes a living temple and we revere beauty as deep nourishment and a living field of consciousness. Devotion pours from us onto the altar of our lives and we experience this incarnation as a living, breathing life of worship.
The Way of Love is an invitation into this intimacy with life that can reveal our very own innate mystery and union with the cosmos. This is a full bodied, authentic spiritual path of devotion leading to realization of the oneness of being.
Life As Lovemaking
One of the teachings that most deeply shaped my life came through my first Shakta Tantra Guru, Shri Param Eswaran and the teachings he transmitted as Para Tan Inner Shakti Yoga.
He would often speak of life being a love making of sorts. Not lovemaking confined to the sexual act only, but lovemaking as sacred exchange, as deep communion with all of life.
The meeting of ourselves with what is before us so completely and engaging with life, as it is, from a deeply sensual space of sacred devotion that we become completely absorbed and present with every experience of life.
Cooking, dancing, praying, creating, tending the flowers, bathing, listening deeply to another, massaging the body with oil, doing the seemingly mundane tasks of life, all become an act of lovemaking and an offering to the Goddess and yes also in the sweet pleasure and sacred intimacy shared between lovers as sexuality is not excluded from this path, yet neither is it made the center of it, it simply belongs to the whole.
The same Shakti that moves as desire also moves as creativity, devotion, pleasure, longing, beauty, tenderness, art, vitality and the yearning for union with the Divine. Life as Lovemaking is the practice of becoming intimate with Life itself and plunging into the dark, black expanse of the heart and this understanding sits at the heart of our journey together.
Sringara
The Rasa of Divine Love Expressing Itself Through Embodied Living
There is a particular rasa that will perfume our days together, Śṛṅgāra. The rasa of beauty, love, attraction, adornment, sensuality, intimacy, longing and delight. Śṛṅgāra reminds us that love is not merely an idea of the heart, but that it has texture and fragrance and color... it has taste, movement and warmth and it deeply wants to be experienced.
In the Goddess traditions, beauty does not have to be dismissed in order for a woman to be spiritual.
The Divine Mother Herself is described in exquisite beauty. Her garments, jewels, eyes, hair, fragrance, breasts, hips, smile, Her radiance and erotic power.
Beauty is one of the ways Shakti makes Herself known and it is its own living field of consciousness and so we honor and make room for beauty here. The spiritual beauty within as well as the beauty we can see. The body beautifully cared for, flowers woven into the hair, kajal around the eyes. fragrance resting upon warm skin, fabric moving against the body as we dance, beautiful altars and music and movement and the pleasure of adorning ourselves because the body too is worthy of being celebrated and honored. Beauty is honored as a devotional offering to Life.
The Nectar
There is nectar hidden everywhere, in prayer, in beauty, in silence, in the body, in a song sung with the whole heart, in the sweetness of friendship, in pleasure, in longing, in the first light of morning, in the ache that comes when something is so beautiful we cannot quite explain what it has touched inside of us. Part of The Way of Love is learning how to gather these nectar drops.. to truly access the feeling tone of them and to stop moving past our lives so quickly that we miss them. To become women who know how to receive, cultivate and offer sweetness.
