Toronto Tantra Fest 2026

The Six Healing Sounds are a Taoist approach to clearing the emotional body in a subtle, meditative way. Practice this technique of Neidan and clear excess or toxic emotional energies from the 5 organ systems of the body (Fire, Earth, Metal Water, and Wood).

This experiential workshop is designed for men who want to explore how sexual performance pressure can shape intimacy, desire, and connection to the body. Many men have been taught to approach sexuality through expectation, self monitoring, and outcome rather than presence, authenticity, and embodied awareness. Through guided reflection, somatic practices, and body based exercises, participants will explore how shame, anxiety, and pressure can pull them out of connection with themselves. The workshop offers space to better understand the mind body dynamics of sexual performance and reconnect with a more grounded sexual presence. It is an invitation to move away from pressure and toward greater self trust, embodiment, and authentic intimate connection.

**ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP :
- this workshop is for men

In this sacred workshop, you will journey through the Eight Gates of the Womb, a guided embodiment practice that invites you to reconnect with different aspects of the womb, release stagnant energy and emotional imprints, activate our innate life-force and Shakti energy, and awaken the wisdom, magnetism, and feminine power that already reside within. As you soften into the intelligence of the body and the wisdom of the womb, you can expand your capacity for love, pleasure, abundance, creativity, and authentic feminine expression, leaving with a deeper sense of connection, empowerment, and trust in yourself.

Throughout their lifetime, women experience embodied initiations: menarche, menstruation, pregnancy and motherhood, and menopause. In many ancestral cultures, the crossing into menopause was held as one of the most significant initiations of a woman's life. Somewhere along the way, we lost that. What was once revered as a rite of passage became something to manage, medicate, and survive. In this ritual, midlife women will be guided through a shamanic rite of passage rooted in the ancient myth of Inanna and the concept of the Golden Eggs, the dormant seeds of wisdom and power that awaken in a woman when she stops fighting her transformation and begins to claim it.

Cultivate confidence and worthiness at the deepest level. When you gaze into Her, you come into contact with the universe. Messages are received, questions are answered, and what felt confusing and ungrounding becomes unwaveringly clear. Yoni gazing is a meditative practice of looking at your yoni through a mirror to unveil the layers and masks of who you thought you needed to be, anchoring in self-love & acceptance of who you truly are. Release judgment of your body, connect with your authentic sensuality, and remember the sacred power of your femininity.

To connect our heart with our sexuality, we must cross the bridge of the solar plexus, the place of power, identity, and emotion. However, the belly holds stagnant emotions, unprocessed traumas, body-shame, and wounds that we carry around for years. The simple practice of belly worship, that is, loving, reverent attention to another's soft centre, can unfurl these aches and feelings, allowing them to live, swell, and be released. In this guided, partnered practice we will be honouring all that the belly holds.

During this guided ritual, deepen in reverence and intimacy with each other, and the Creator of All Life, the Womb. Please come with your partner, or someone you already have established safety and connection with. I can say with confidence that every woman somewhere within, desires to have her womb held with presence, care and honour; without goal. In this time-space, a softening like no other can happen. Without words, there is a somatic conversation between the holder and the held that has the possibility of melting generations of pain held between her hips.

An opportunity to digest and integrate the festival experience through reflection & sharing, writing prompts, and guided processes.
