About Your Facilitator:

“Beyond any judgement, with a heart full of acceptance and surrender, there I found a vast void of silence, emptiness and space, filled with bliss, inspiration and joy.”

Marion Ellyard is a passionate woman who has lived a very colourful, inquisitive, life full of energy. Her navigation between the self and the other, the alone and the together is her piece of passion and deep practice and enquiry. In life she is a mother to two beautiful teenage young men and as a partner has traversed marriage, open containers and tantric connections. She is a passionate motorbike rider, yogini, nature lover and deeply connected through decades of practice to earth shamanism and paganism as well as non-dual teachings and meditation practices.

Since 2014 she hosts and facilitates Australia’s biggest Tantra festival, the ‘Taste of Love Festival” and runs the Taste of Love Tantra School where she facilitates a variety of retreats and programs. Marion is also a presenter, an ISTA faculty, a certified counsellor, a certified yoga and meditation teacher amongst many other trainings she has done to add depth to her fields of passions in shamanism, psychology, trauma and human behaviour. Working with people since over 25 years giving over 8000 sessions Marion now specialises in attachment trauma, tantra, meditation, intimacy coaching, shamanic and bioenergetic bodywork, constellations and somatic therapy.

Marion began her journey of shamanism and tantra over 25 years ago and has lived and travelled all over the world to study under different teachers. She believes this urge was partially due to her soul needing to heal and uncover her own shadows and traumas to learn and become more whole. 

Her work is now partially an ongoing exploration what creates more oneness versus separation, more belonging versus isolation as much as facilitating the many courses she designed between an evening program to 7-day retreats to pass on the many useful embodiment and awareness practices that can create greater expansion, happiness, energy and wholeness to a person or to a couple. She is passionate improving and deepening connection between people, within themselves and especially for couples of any orientation.

‘I deeply listen daily what and where I am called to be and show up, allowing the life force energy to run through me it gives me humility, joy and purpose and I am delighted to meet so many wonderful travelers on the way everyone holding their unique vibration, bringing their own contribution of wisdom to life.’

Gift yourself or your relationship a day of heart-opening exploration, connection, and joy. 

Whether you’re embracing self-love or deepening your bond with a partner, this transformative workshop invites you to step into a space of intimacy, vitality, and bliss.

Guided by ancient Vedic philosophies, we’ll explore the interplay of emptiness and matter, freedom and attachment, and the expansive truth of existence. 

Through meditation, touch-based exercises, and shamanic-inspired practices, you’ll release old blockages, awaken your intuition, and connect with the essence of love—both within and beyond yourself.
