Divine Union—A Devotional Ceremony of Embodied Love

✨ Curious about the true potential of Tantra?
✨ Ready to take your relationship—or your connection with self—to a higher realm of intimacy and love?

Reimagine “date night” as a sacred ritual of awakening.

Join Elana Stern, founder of Tantra Collective, and her beloved on an immersive journey into both inner union and union in relationship, honoring the dance of Shiva and Shakti within and between us. Through embodiment practices, meditative touch, intimacy rituals, and devotional ceremony, we explore how the merging of presence and love becomes a portal to the highest realms of self-realization, ecstatic bliss, and communion with the Divine.

In sacred partnership, Divine Union becomes the alchemical dance through which reverent connection catalyzes self-actualization and opens the heart to the embodied presence of the Divine. Each practice is offered as an invitation, held with clear boundaries and deep reverence.

Whether you come with a beloved or a practice partner, this ceremony becomes a pathway to wholeness, ecstatic love, and the living truth of Divine union.

Your Tantra Guide Elana Stern is the Founder of Tantra Collective and ONE LOVE HUB. Through classes, community events, retreats, and private guidance, she creates heart-centered spaces that honor the sacred body, awaken love as the path, and invite us into the living truth of Divine union in all.
