Sacred Intimacy—The Path of Polarity: a weekend immersion

💞 Sacred Intimacy—The Path of Polarity

A Weekend Immersion for Couples & Practice Partners
with Elana Stern, Tao Tantra Guide & Founder of Tantra Collective
and Arabella Kali Mai, Tao Tantra Priestess, author of Fetish Girl, & sole living Western heir of the White Tigress lineage

What if your relationship were a living temple—where every touch, gaze, and breath became an act of devotion?

What if polarity were not a tension to manage, but the pulse that awakens love itself?

This November 22 & 23, Tantra Collective welcomes Arabella Kali Mai for a rare visit from her home in Ecuador—joining Elana Stern in a powerful collaboration born of their shared Tao Tantra Priestess lineage.

Together, they invite you into Sacred Intimacy: The Path of Polarity—a two-day transformative immersion—a sacred laboratory of love and polarity designed to rekindle connection, deepen trust, and awaken the living current between partners.

Rooted in ancient Taoist and Tantric alchemy, this weekend invites you to explore the body as a temple of energy and emotion, where sensuality becomes a channel for consciousness. Through movement, sound, ritual, and energetic play, we learn to hold more power, presence, and pleasure—transforming polarity into connection that nourishes the soul.

This is not a casual workshop; it’s an intimate initiatory experience guided by two embodied teachers devoted to the living traditions of Tao and Tantra. Through embodied practice, ritual, and devotional play, you’ll remember the art of meeting another from your most alive, aware, and loving essence.

Whether you are in a committed relationship or attending with a practice partner, this journey offers tools to rekindle attraction, restore balance, and reignite passion through the sacred technologies of energy cultivation, polarity play, and embodied intimacy. All genders, sexual orientations, and relationship styles are welcome.

✨ What to Expect

💠 Day One — The Return to Essence
Separate journeys for those identifying with feminine and masculine essence:

• Shakti/Omega Path: Initiation into White Tigress arts of vitality, sensual magnetism, and self-worship—cultivating radiance from within.

• Shiva/Alpha Path: Energy activation and sublimation practices—transmuting arousal into presence, clarity, and power.

• Reunion Ceremony: A guided ritual to heal the split between feminine and masculine energies within and between us—meeting once more in reverence and recognition.

💠 Day Two — The Art of Sacred Intimacy
Partners practices of presence, polarity, and devotion:
Partners reunite for a day of polarity play, energy exchange, and ritual touch—exploring the magnetic field that exists between two bodies when awareness and desire unite. Through movement, sound, and guided ceremony, we deepen connection, trust, and the capacity to channel life-force through love.

The weekend culminates in a collective puja, honoring the living field of polarity—celebrating how the union of opposites births new creation and healing for all.
