MORE THAN THE REGULAR ACROYOGA EVENT
THE SACRED PLAYGROUND
ACROTANTRA is a new modality that marries the wisdom of Tantric pleasure and consent teachings with the creative play and sensory activation of Acroyoga.
WHAT IS
ACROYOGA
Acroyoga is a playful practice that combines partner acrobatics with principles of Yoga such as presence, breath, mindfulness and body awareness. This practice requires a partner and cooperation.
WHAT IS
TANTRA
Traditional Tantra is an ancient spiritual practice that treats sexual energy as something powerful and sacred, and is considered to be a direct channel that connects us to the divine.
ACROTANTRA
OUR MISSION

Testimonials
All of the people were amazing. I loved the shedding layers workshop. It had me confront my insecurities around nudity and embrace my body. The Wheel of Consent workshop rocked my world. I reconnected with myself and began learning my boundaries. I’m continuing practicing saying “No.”
Ben Gabin
I learned how to share intimacy in non sexual ways. In the past, I only reserved intimacy and vulnerability for sexual partners. The festival allowed me to open up to a whole new world of connection and play. Through surrendering to vulnerability and trust, I opened myself to more love and unity than I’ve ever felt in my life. I walked away from the festival with a lifelong community and a new perspective on intimacy.

Doughlas
I grew in my capacity to be vulnerable. The wheel of consent, I will take with me on my journey in life. The closing ceremony was extremely powerful for me. I felt really seen and the the connections I made were made more visible to me. I cried with joy.
Jeannie Grace
My experience of Acrotantra was of love and connection with beautiful kindred souls. It was a place of home, of peace, of seeking, and growth that everyone should have the chance to share. The closing ceremony was one of the best community experiences of my life. It was deep, beautiful, and touching. My cup was filled until it overflowed with joy. I’m thankful to have lived through something so special. Thankful to have felt that I touched and was touched by so many lives.
Phillippe Bourbeau
One of the best weeks of my life! Wow, I feel like I grew so much! I now love acroyoga (hadn’t done it before) and I am constantly tapping into what my inner child and heart want to do. I released a lot of old emotion and felt my heart hugely open – to life, new possibilities, new ways of being, and to other people. This festival inspired me to continue being vulnerable, continue exploring tantra and breathwork, join an acroyoga group, and to keep searching for what sets my heart on fire. I’m incredibly grateful.
Annabel Deakin
My first arrival at Gaia Temple was really challenging for me emotionally and energetically. I immediately bursted into tears in front of the people who were cuddling. There was just so much love for all. I was trying to understand and honestly, never in my life had I seen anything so beautiful. I felt so far from allowing myself all this love first for myself and allowing it for others. I grew and learned. My vision of life and love is completely transformed. It was so liberating!

Alice Trudel
The atmosphere was very calm, safe and contained. Generally I need a lot more alone time, especially during festivals. This was not the case this time and I actually felt recharged instead of drained. Experiencing the connection of Tantra and AcroYoga has allowed me to bring more consciousness to my own practice and into my daily life. It was an amazing and unique experience that left me feeling energized, grateful and connected – to myself as well as others.“

WHAT WE STAND FOR
Our Pillars
SAFETY
At Acrotantra, safety is the foundation everything is built on. We believe that to truly surrender to the sensations of joy and freedom, one must feel safe in their own body. Our Tantric teachings rest on a foundation of consent, safety in the body and intimacy with one’s own boundaries and desires. We will guide the cultivation of this paradise within, so that we all feel safe relating to others from a place of wholeness and empowerment.
While nudity is never mandatory, in most of our workshops, clothing will be optional. It is our intention to create a container where one’s naked body is not sexualized, nor is it an invitation to touch. Our workshops will provide you with tools to express your most authentic, raw, weird self while expanding your trust relashionship with yourself.
PLAYFULNESS
Playfulness is the doorway to be in the present moment. It has been proven that THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY TO LEARN IS THROUGH FUN. I can’t be anywhere else if I’m having fun, I am fully captivated by the emotions rising in the instant. When my inner child is playing they’re fully present, they’re not dwelling about her past or anxious about her future.
“Creativity is your intelligence having fun”
– Albert Einstein
Through creativity and art, we inspire and promote radical self-expression in harmony with our core nature.
CONSCIOUS COMMUNICATION
ACROTANTRA believes that emotional well-being flows from the ability to clearly express our needs, fears and desires and be deeply seen and heard in this process. Integral to our brand is our emphasis on integrating conscious communication practices such as Authentic Relating and Nonviolent Communication into all aspects of the Acroyoga and tantric containers.
These tools give us the foundation needed to feel safe expressing all aspects of ourselves and create soul level connections with others in short periods of time.
About AcroTantra
ACROTANTRA brings the spiritual teachings of Tantra to the physical challenges of Acroyoga. By combining these worlds, we present a new modality that adds an element of exploratory play to a powerful lineage of shamanic spiritual teachings. ACROTANTRA uses play as an empowerment vehicle to take us beyond preconceived notions of our own physical and spiritual limitations and into deep communion with the sacred self.
For a Tantra practitioner, Acroyoga provides a way to embody Tantric toolsets outside of sexual interactions— an opportunity to connect to pleasure in creative physicality. For a Yogi/Acroyogi, Tantric principles offer an opportunity to push Acroyoga beyond the bounds of physical attainment and into relationship with the sacred self. An emphasis on conscious touch, physical communication, activation of pleasure, and intimate human connection, transforms this practice into a powerful agent of spiritual growth.
