Thank you, Krista Novakowski and Naomi Prema Devi, for bringing us all together. I had a happy afterglow that lasted at least until Thursday, and I’m experiencing more peace and self acceptance. So growth happened!
So many people were open and willing to engage — even some hard conversations. All of it made for a rich experience for me.
Andy

A container so beautifully held. Gracious thanks to you, and all who supported, shared and showed up.

I’m beyond grateful to Naomi Prema Devi and Krista Novakowski and all the other beings who made this divine festival experience happen.

The weekend ❤️Tantra festival in Squamish has ended and I feel so happy & blessed for being part of this experience. Healing has come for me in so many ways as I released lots of negative emotions such as pain, sadness & fear that I needed to get out in order to be transmuted into love, forgiveness, acceptance..a new re-birth into more authentic-self. I felt so supported & uplifted by beautiful souls, but the most remarkable is that I got to experienced so much compassion & ❤️love !
The divine feminine energy that nurtured me & unlighted my heart along with the balance of the divine masculine. I’m so happy of being able to receive love, compassion & healing through the divine feminine specially by my female partners on the workshops, who I feel so much honour, respect & gratitude for assisting me. I’m so glad that I was able to be opened to receive love, definitely has touched my soul & through their divine feminine energy has awaken mine & healing has taken place for me. It is without a doubt such a remarkable weekend for me full of unconditional love, uplifting and the re-birth of the divine feminine in all! Thanks a lot to the universal magic & the wonderful facilitators the tantra teachings & exercises help me to push myself out of my comfort zone; thus, I feel in a better place in in life & I feel so much gratitude for the work & progress that has been done with my personal life.

Beloveds, thank you again and thanks Krista and Naomi for this year’s gathering. It’s a real achievement to make this journey together safely, pleasurably, educationally given the heritage of confusion, mistrust, isolation and so on. This is a part of remaking society, both a return to our nature and a living the new opportunities available to us today. Feels very close to home. Love

Thank you Naomi and Krista for putting on such an amazing festival. This was my first time going to a Tantra festival and I really had no idea what to expect. It truly was a safe container to explore my sensual side and I especially appreciated the workshops on consent and boundaries as I feel that it really set the tone for a wonderful experience. It’s been almost a week since the festival and I cannot believe how wonderful I feel – it’s like I had been deficient in a vitamin and now I’m not! I’ve been able to incorporate some of the stuff I learned into my day to day life and relationship and I’ve had some incredible results so far 🙂 I will definitely be back next year!
Kate

The Heart of Tantra Festival provided me with the opportunity to work on conscious connection to others and myself in a deep and transformative way. I learned respect for my own boundaries and from this place formed connections with others that were loving, filled with adoration and compassion. I most appreciated how the connections were focused more on adoration for one another then on sexual energy. We were taught to really see the divinity in ourselves and others. The guidance I received around awakening my sexual energy helped me to let go of shame around me sensuality and empowered me to open my heart a little wider and raise my consciousness a little higher. I attended the festival without my partner and it was a safe place to learn and explore more about myself. Upon returning home, I have used the information and practices with my husband and have experienced absolute blissful moments in our lovemaking. I am much more open and free with my expression and able to care for and receive my partner with more adoration then I imagined possible. Thank you for an absolutely amazing weekend.
