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.

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)

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.

New Orleans is a city that feels like Tantra come to life, music, movement, mystery, and magic at every corner.

We’ve built this festival right in the heart of the French Quarter, where cobblestone streets hum with jazz and the air itself invites you to drop your armor and come alive.

Over three luscious days, you’ll experience:
• Workshops and rituals exploring love, energy, connection, boundaries, and pleasure
• Ecstatic dance & live music, let the rhythm of the city move through you
• Connection games and heart-opening circles where laughter and truth flow freely
• Temple and play spaces for sacred sensual exploration and embodied practice
• A special afternoon at the infamous “Naked Grotto” complete with warm pool, hot tub, kinky upstairs play space, fire pit, delicious playlists, and yummy conversations
• Moments of stillness and self-care, for your nervous system to rest, integrate, and renew

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.

Cost
Early bird $899 before Dec 

Your ticket also includes light breakfast, snacks, a delicious brunch, and midnight nibbles each day, because pleasure should always include good food.
Dinner is intentionally left open so you can wander out and indulge in the magic of New Orleans cuisine, gumbo, po’boys, beignets, and a thousand flavors of joy.

Inclusivity & Diversity:
The Everyday Tantra Festival is a co-creation of a body-positive, heart-centered, inclusive community.
All bodies, races, genders, orientations, abilities, and relationship styles are welcome and celebrated.

Safety & Consent:
You are your own authority here.
We’ll offer consent and boundary tools throughout the weekend so you can stay in choice at all times.
There is never pressure to participate in anything that doesn’t feel right for you.

Facilitator Ethics:
Our facilitators are devoted to holding impeccable containers.
During the festival, teachers and assistants do not engage in sxxual or romantic interactions with participants. This creates safety, clarity, and deep trust within the community field.

Bring your curiosity. Bring your courage. Bring your heart.
This is your invitation to come home, to love, to freedom, to you.
