Taste of Love Festival & Post Festival Immersion Gympie 2026
Description
Join us in November for a 4-day journey participating in the 12th Taste of Love Festival, followed by an optional 3-day post-festival integration retreat.
Leave the everyday behind for four days of community, play and aliveness.
Join us near Gympie, Queensland, for the 12th Taste of Love Tantra Festival Gympie.
For four days, workshops, music, dancing, food, bodywork, camp life and community come together with experiences exploring embodiment, personal growth, relationships, tantric wisdom, intimacy, sensuality and positive sexuality.
Step away from the daily grind and leave the usual shoulds and musts behind for a while. Slow down, move your body, learn something new, laugh, dance, rest and meet curious, open-minded people.
Some come to reconnect with themselves.
Some come for the dancing, shared meals, new friendships and late-night conversations.
Some come to explore relationships, Tantra, intimacy or sensuality.
Many come for a bit of everything.
There is no one right way to experience Taste of Love.
Everything is invitational. Nothing is expected.
The Festival Village
The Festival Village is the heart of Taste of Love, with food, music, market stalls, massage, bodywork, healing sessions, camp life and relaxed spaces to spend time between activities.
Come here to eat, rest, meet people, book a session, sit in the sun or simply enjoy being part of the community.

Workshops and Experiences
Taste of Love includes more than 35 workshops, performances and guided experiences across four days and nights.
The program explores:
Embodiment and body awareness.
Authentic relating, communication and emotional intimacy.
Boundaries and consent.
Tantric wisdom, meditation and inner awareness.
Personal growth, breathwork and yoga.
Movement, ecstatic dance and ritual.
Touch, play and connection.
Sensuality and positive sexuality.
The new program will use a 1, 2 and 3-lotus system to help you understand the nature of each workshop and choose what feels right for you.
The 2026 presenter and workshop program will be announced in early September.
Music, Dance and Performances
There will be live music, performances and movement throughout the festival.
Every night, after the workshops finish, everyone is invited to come together for an amazing DJ set and a few hours of dancing.
Join the dance floor, sit back, spend time with friends or follow whatever feels good in the moment.
Intimacy, Sensuality and Positive Sexuality
For those who are curious, Taste of Love also offers optional experiences exploring conscious intimacy, sensuality, erotic energy, touch, body awareness, positive sexuality and aspects of Red Tantra.
These experiences are clearly described, consent-led and always optional.
You can have a full and beautiful festival experience without attending any sexuality-focused sessions.
Come Solo, With Friends or With a Partner or Partners
Come solo and meet new people.
Come with friends and share the festival while still following your own interests.
Come with a partner or partners and explore together, separately or a little of both.
Many people arrive without knowing anyone and leave with new friendships and a deeper sense of community.
However you arrive, you are welcome here.
