What if your heart holds the medicine you seek?

Join us for Alchemy of Love: A Tantric Shamanic Journey Home to the Heart—a sacred outdoor ceremony held under the setting sun and rising moon. In this inward journey, we gather in nature to release, remember, and return to love. Together, we dive deep to unify the many parts of ourselves and awaken the magnetic power of our heart’s most aligned desires.

Guided by tantric and shamanic wisdom, we open a ceremonial container to soften, feel, and alchemize. Together, we enter states of deep presence, cultivate curious self-awareness, and attune to energetic harmony as we journey beyond the mind and into the soul. Through breath, ritual, and guided inner visioning, we transmute fear and separation into compassion, resilience, and belonging.

This is a homecoming—to the essence of who you truly are beneath the stories. A remembering that love is not something to find, but something to become.

Does your soul crave a return to love?

💗 What to Expect

You’ll be held in a sacred, heart-centered field where presence becomes a portal. Through subtle energetic attunement and emotional alchemy, you’ll be invited to soften, open, and release what no longer serves. This soul-led journey offers pathways inward—where inner wisdom awakens, clarity arises, and the heart remembers its radiant truth.

Our ceremony includes:
🌹 Opening sacred space with intention setting
💨 Heart Chakra Clearing Ritual to support emotional alchemy
🌿 Grounding, embodiment, & energy release/alignment practices
🌀 Guided shamanic journey to inner wisdom & emotional transmutation
🌈 Heart restoration & return grounding
💖 Closing “share-a-mony,” collective witnessing
🪷 Integration tools to support lasting transformation & alignment

Elana Stern, our Tantra Guide, holds this space with intuitive insight, devotion, and fierce compassion. She invites you into radical self-love, deep remembrance, and embodied transformation through the sacred technologies of Tantra and presence.

Paqo Tom, our Shamanic Healer, is a mesa-carrying practitioner trained in the Q’ero lineage and grounded in the wisdom of ancient ritual and master plant medicine. With trauma-informed care and intuitive guidance, he offers a compassionate container where deep healing unfolds and the soul is gently restored to its natural lightness.

Tantra Collective is devoted to co-creating embodied experiences that awaken hearts and evolve consciousness. Through sacred ceremony and authentic connection, we dissolve the illusion of separation—inviting love to lead the way home.

Are you ready to meet the lover within?

Come home to your heart.

🌿 How to Prepare

This is a sacred journey—come as you are, and prepare to be transformed.

What to bring:

A pillow, cushion, blanket, or backjack to sit on comfortably on the ground
A yoga mat to lay upon during our journey
A water bottle and any personal comforts (eye mask, shawl, layers, etc.)
A journal and pen for reflection and integration
A totem or small item for the altar (something meaningful or symbolic of your intention)
An open heart and a willingness to explore your inner landscape

What to wear:

Dress in comfortable, layered clothing that allows you to move and breathe freely. You’re welcome to wear something that feels ritualistic, sensual, or symbolic to support your connection to the sacred. Bare feet, soft fabrics, and natural tones are encouraged—but above all, come in what helps you feel safe, grounded, and true to yourself.

Preparing your inner temple:

As you prepare to enter this space, take time to tune in to what’s alive within you—your desires, emotions, longings, and intentions. Come lightly nourished, and please refrain from alcohol, intoxicants, and heavy meals beforehand to support energetic clarity and embodied presence.

This ceremony will be held outdoors, under the open sky, in communion with the setting sun and rising moon—please dress accordingly and arrive with reverence for the elements.
