How do we trust life, body, desire, and unfolding without collapsing into fantasy, dissociation, false certainty, or intoxication?
Eros is a life force — aliveness that moves through the body as charge, heat, and pull. It carries direction. It knows something.
Activation can be mistaken for truth. Intensity can be mistaken for alignment. The festival is built around helping people sense more clearly.
The hope is not that people leave with all answers, but that they become less ruled by anxiety, fear, and the need to control every outcome.
People shape the field by how they come, how they participate, how they listen, how they regulate themselves, and how they take responsibility.
Real practice happens where people meet discomfort, sensation, vulnerability, relational charge, and exposure. The edge is where people tend to shut down.
For those entering the gathering to be shaped by the field — to practice, explore, and participate fully in the shared rhythm of eros, relationship, and presence.
Full attendance required. No day passes. Entry by intake form, reviewed in service of the coherence of the field.
For those called to help hold the hearth — entering the gathering in service to the field and its participants.
Full duration required. For people who can arrive fully and stay engaged from beginning to end. This path is nearly full, but we welcome applications from those who feel inspired. We'll discuss the mutual spark together.
Accommodations are booked separately through our venue partner.

Working question: How do we trust the unfolding of life?
Expanding Awareness is a 90-minute immersion drawn from the intimate contemplations of the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra and the embodied devotional wisdom of the Tirumantiram. We'll enter where awareness and energy are already one—in the body, in relationship, and in the quiet shimmer of being alive.
Christine Marie Mason
The sacred technologies of Mantras (vibrational sound), Yantras (sacred geometry), and Deities (archetypal consciousness)—not as superstition, but as living symbols that map our inner landscape.
Naughty Monkey
Building a sacred fire, chanting 108 times while offering rice. This connects us to lineage and opens dimensions within ourselves—nervous system, inner landscape, and cosmic connection—that cognitive mind alone cannot access. A mysterious practice with effects far beyond thought.
Lauren
Gong, voice, singing bowls and more. A reverent, therapeutic sound bath that invites you to rest into deeper realms of the sacred within. Best experienced at the opening or closing of a day.
Signa Cheney & Sequoia Kidwell
A heart-opening practice to release stress, awaken awareness, nurture creativity, and empower the inner voice of wisdom within. Leave feeling the sweet cosmic hum of life.
Signa Cheney
Using creative movement to explore Dom/Sub dynamics. Includes the Yes/No game, demonstrations, and partner practice, opening into free play and closing with care and connection.
Kelly Klein
Explore rope as a tool for connection—sensation, breath, and pacing to create dynamic scenes. Taste the full spectrum of power exchange, from nurturing containment to electrifying intensity. Through tying and being tied, deepen understanding from both perspectives.
Glory Moonfire
Explore kink and bondage as shamanic practice—using scene work, power exchange, and conscious restraint as containers for deep healing and transformation. Drawing from Andean shamanism, somatic wisdom, and BDSM practices to access altered states, release trauma, and awaken new dimensions of trust.
Sequoia Kidwell, Kelly Klein & Glory Moonfire
Embodied Presence in Connection. A delightful embodied space to explore our primal selves, move energy, and connect in the here and now beyond words. With each person, we meet fresh, curious, attuned—diving into touch, movement, sound, and whatever wants to emerge: sensual wrestling, becoming animals, eye gazing, and presence itself.
A sacred container for women to gather, heal, and celebrate the erotic power of the feminine body. Together we'll explore sensual presence, embodied pleasure, authentic voice, and the medicine of conscious touch. Through movement, breath, somatic practice, and ceremony, reclaim erotic innocence, sovereignty, and the radiance of being fully alive.
Lillian Love, Kelly Klein & Signa Cheney
More workshops to come.
Nature is the church.
Eros as compass.
Depth without collapse.
Sovereignty includes a clear yes and a clear no.
Come to practice, not consume.
The field itself is medicine.
Ali Williams is the primary anchor of Hawaii Tantra Festival, stewarding the feminine thread of the container through embodied presence, relational attunement, and clear field leadership.
Her work centers on voltage: the capacity to hold charge with precision, attunement, and integrity as it deepens over time. She tracks the moments where eros and polarity arise, shaping conditions that allow charge to move without pressure, coercion, or collapse.
Originally trained as an Olympic athlete, Ali learned early how power is shaped through discipline, precision, and performance. Through Dragon Academy, she has guided many through embodied group work, supporting relational depth and intensity to unfold through attunement, rhythm, and timing rather than urgency.
This gathering is held by a team committed to coherence, care, and relational integrity. Each member is selected for their capacity to stay present, responsive, and grounded as charge moves through the field.
