Details of this retreat
LOVE FEST 2025 – A Transformational Tantra Retreat
October 23–27, 2025 – El Valle, Samaná, Dominican
Republic
Love Fest is not just a retreat — it’s a sacred gathering of souls ready to explore presence, intimacy, and embodiment through powerful ancestral and contemporary practices. Set in the untouched beauty of El Valle, this 5-day journey invites you to connect with yourself, others, and the natural world in deeply transformative ways.
The Location – El Valle, Samaná
Secluded and preserved, El Valle is one of the last unspoiled gems of the Dominican Republic. This small village of fishermen and farmers, nestled between jungle and ocean, offers a magical setting for reconnection. There’s no phone coverage, power outages are part of life, rivers run freely through the land, and we walk barefoot to the sea. We get fresh fish from the boats at sundown. We sleep surrounded by jungle sounds, eat homemade cookies on Fridays, dance at DJ happy hours, and explore waterfalls and hidden beaches on our days off.
Core Practices & Rituals
● Love as Path – Offering Ceremony
A heart-opening ritual to welcome your intention, connect with the land, and begin the retreat in sacred presence.
● Osho Meditation
Dynamic movement-based meditations to release stagnant energy, awaken aliveness, and ground you into your body.
● Temple Space
A respectful and sacred container to explore intimacy, conscious touch, presence, and vulnerability.
● Tantric Breathing
Breathwork practices rooted in tantra to circulate energy, open your heart, and deepen body awareness.
● Sensorial Experiences
Guided journeys through touch, taste, sound, and movement to awaken your senses and connect with pleasure.
● Ancestral Caribbean Rituals
Ceremonies inspired by Afro-Caribbean traditions, honoring the land, the spirits, and collective memory.
● Devotional Rituals
Gentle moments of prayer, song, and intention to connect with the sacred within and
around us.
● Breathwork Journeys
Deep, transformative breathing sessions to release emotional blocks and access expanded states of consciousness.
● Ecstatic Dance
Free-form dance journeys guided by music and rhythm to express, liberate and embody your essence.
● Sound Healing
Immersive sound journeys with crystal bowls, drums, and voice to restore balance and deep relaxation.
