If you LOVE tantra and embodiment, transformational closed space workshop experiences, illuminating talks from keynote speakers and presenters on relationship, intimacy, sexuality & embodiment, epic evening socials infused with dance, music, ritual and ceremony, time to celebrate, connect and love one another in a freely expressive and safe way, delicious healthy eats, elixirs and tonics that support feelings of body bliss, massage, reiki, bodywork and more healing modalities designed to connect you to your highest, most loving self, then come to BIG LOVE FEST.
Why: You know how a nude beach sounds brilliant until you see the most common clientele of said beach? Keep that in mind.
