About this Retreat
Thalia Devi is a Tantric Sexuality, Love & Intimacy Coach, Tantra massage therapist & teacher, whose work is rooted in deep embodiment, lived experience, and spiritual study. Her journey began in the sex industry, where her body was commodified before she had the tools to understand consent, sovereignty, or safety.
Her path through sex work spanned over a decade and unfolded as a journey from exploitation to empowerment. She not only reclaimed her body as sacred but also gained profound insight into intimacy, embodiment, and the hidden wisdom of erotic energy.
In 2012, she had a spiritual awakening which catalyzed her path of healing, spiritual devotion, and radical embodiment. She traveled the world to study ancient healing arts; Ayurveda, various bodywork traditions and energy medicine, and has sat in several silent meditation retreats of 10–17 days, both Vipassana & Hridaya, to deepen her inner presence. A kundalini awakening in 2016 further expanded her psychic and intuitive gifts, activating her capacity as a healer.
Thalia is trained in Advanced Tantra massage and Tantra Yoga. She is also a certified trauma-informed Sex, Love & Intimacy Coach through the Tantric Institute of Integrated Sexuality. Her facilitation is a blend of esoteric Tantric teachings, trauma-informed presence, and the subtle transmission of direct experience.
For over eight years, she has guided hundreds of individuals and couples in dissolving shame, awakening pleasure, and reclaiming their sensual, multi-orgasmic nature. She facilitates The Art of Touch, her signature 7-day Tantra massage retreat held internationally for the past six years, and is the founder of Yoni Temple, a feminine mystery school devoted to the Tantric arts.
As a spaceholder, Thalia is known for her rare capacity to meet others in the depths. Her presence is deeply attuned—anchored in safety, devotion, and energetic precision. She weaves the mystical and the practical with fierce love, holding containers that are raw, grounded, and full of heart.
Her life is a living transmission of turning poison into nectar.
Spandananda is a dedicated Hridaya Yoga teacher and guide of sacred intimacy practices, known for the depth, warmth, and clarity he brings to the spaces he holds.
He completed his teacher training at Hridaya France in 2020 and has been immersed in the path of the Spiritual Heart for many years, sharing silent meditation retreats and yoga modules at the Hridaya Center in Mexico. His spiritual journey began over fifteen years ago in Brazil under the guidance of a master of Advaita Vedanta from the lineage of Ramana Maharshi and Tibetan Buddhism.
Before embracing the path of yoga, Spanda traveled the world as a marine biologist, participating in ocean conservation projects. This deep connection to nature and life has informed the reverence and tenderness present in his work today.
For the past seven years, he has been integrating sacred sexuality practices into his personal journey, living for extended periods in tantric communities that have deepened his understanding and embodiment. Two years ago, he began offering workshops that explore conscious sexuality from a yogic perspective.
Details of this retreat
Hi, we’re Thalia & Spanda
friends and allies on the path of love and liberation. We’re honored to invite you into The Beloved, a 5-day immersion into the heart of tantric intimacy, conscious lovemaking and spiritual awakening.
This retreat is for those who know that love is more than romance, that sex can be a path to unity. Together we’ll explore tantric practices, where polarity becomes play, vulnerability becomes power, and your connection becomes a living temple.
Whether you’re longtime partners, new lovers, or walking the path of conscious love, this space is for you.
Come remember what it means to worship the Beloved in each other, where devotion meets desire, and your love becomes the practice.
---------------------------------------------
The 3 pillars of The Beloved Retreat
To truly thrive in love, we must meet on every level—body, heart, and soul.
This retreat is a journey through the essential gateways of intimate union. Each one is a key that unlocks deeper connection, fuller expression, and the remembrance of love as a sacred path.
✺Tantic Intimacy
Learn to refine and elevate your sexual energy as a sacred force. This pillar guides you into a deeper relationship with your own sexuality—where desire is honored, energy is sublimated, and sex becomes connected to the heart. You’ll explore how to harness your life force, bring awareness to your erotic patterns, and transmute raw desire into intimacy, presence, and love.
✺Conscious Lovemaking
Conscious lovemaking is an art—one that invites presence, communication, and attunement. You’ll learn how to navigate polarity, activate your erotic intelligence, and meet your partner in the dance of giving and receiving. Through guided practices and embodied teachings, you’ll refine your ability to make love not just with the body, but with your soul—opening to deeper connection, trust, and ecstasy.
✺Spiritual Awakening
Beyond the physical lies the sacred. This pillar guides you into the mystical dimensions of union—where love becomes a path of awakening and your relationship becomes a mirror for the revelation of your divine essence. Through meditation, energy work, and devotional practices, you’ll attune to the subtle realms and remember your essence as love itself. Here, intimacy becomes a journey to illumination.
-----------------------------------------------------
For the couple who knows there’s more…
Maybe the spark has dimmed.
Maybe sex feels more like routine than ritual.
Maybe communication has grown strained, or you’re caught in cycles of reactivity, triggers, or emotional shutdowns.
You love each other—but something feels blocked. Unspoken needs. Touch that doesn’t quite land. A longing for more depth, more presence, more truth.
If you’re here, you already sense it:
Your relationship is meant to be a path of awakening.
The Beloved is an invitation to remember why you came together—not just for comfort or companionship, but to become mirrors, portals, and allies in each other’s evolution.
This retreat is not about fixing what’s broken.
It’s about revealing what’s possible.
When intimacy is met with presence and love is expressed with intention, your relationship transforms. Lovemaking becomes meaningful, connection deepens, and your bond becomes a source of growth, healing, and transformation.
Together, you’ll shed old stories, ignite new energy, and rise into the highest expression of your relationship:
rooted in truth, fueled by love, and devoted to your sacred union.
---------------------
