The New Orleans Intimate Tantra Festival

The New Orleans Intimate Tantra Festival
Three days. Seven teachers. One city that knows how to savor.Dates: April 17–20 • Location: French Quarter / near Jackson Square

Hosted by Everyday Tantra Monique Darling & Peter Petersen!! We have taught at Tantra festivals around the world, and decided to host and organize our first one in our favorite US City! (Bonus, its the weekend before Jazzfest, so you could stay on and have two NOLA vacations in one)
Welcome to a weekend of playful awakening in the heart of New Orleans, a city that lives and breathes rhythm, passion, and soul.
This is not a mega-festival or a place to get lost in the crowd.This is an intimate, boutique gathering where every hug, every gaze, every breath matters.Where Tantra isn’t something you “learn” it’s something you remember.
It’s a homecoming to your body, your pleasure, your truth.A space to soften and be seen.To dance, to cry, to laugh, to love, all of you is welcome here.

What Is An Everyday Tantra Festival?
The New Orleans Intimate Tantra Festival is a celebration of being fully alive.Here, we explore what it means to meet life, and each other, with presence, curiosity, and love.
Through workshops, rituals, ecstatic dance, music, and intimate connection spaces, you’ll rediscover the full range of being human:your playfulness, your longing, your boundaries, your stillness, your joy.
It’s a weekend to release shame, guilt, and fear, and remember the innocence of being in your body.
You’ll be guided by an experienced team of heart-centered facilitators, each bringing their unique flavor of Tantra, embodiment, energy, and sacred play. Together, we co-create a safe, magical space where you can be seen, heard, and celebrated exactly as you are. (our teachers will be announced by the end of November, so stay tuned)

Am I Welcome?
Absolutely.We honor all genders, bodies, ages (21+), orientations, and relationship styles.
Whether you come solo, with a beloved, or with friends, this festival is for anyone ready to explore love, connection, and embodied freedom.
Some workshops will invite partnered practice, while others welcome solo exploration or group play. You always get to choose your own adventure.You set your pace. You listen to your body. You decide your “yes” and your “no.”
At Everyday Tantra, consent is sxxy and sovereignty is sacred.

Unlike most weekend festivals, your accommodations are included right in the heart of the French Quarter.Choose from a private room, a shared queen bed with your beloved, or a shared dorm-style room with other festival participants.Every space is cozy, intimate, and designed to support rest, connection, and play.
