Dali, China — True Nature of Love Retreat

About this event

There's a question that's been quietly living in you. Maybe you've felt it in the middle of a busy week, or in the silence after everyone else has gone to sleep. A sense that there's a version of love — of life — that you haven't fully touched yet.

We'd like to invite you to Dali.

For over 1,300 years, this ancient city at the foot of Mount Cangshan has drawn seekers, mystics, and healers toward something they couldn't quite name. The mountains hold a stillness. The mornings move at the pace of the heart, not the clock. And for seven days this September, it will hold you too.

Each morning here begins with a rose — a small, quiet invitation to pause and reconnect with your own heart before the day begins. You'll sit in ceremony with Raw Puer tea harvested in 1992, from trees that have stood for centuries, learning what it means to be fully present in a single sip. You'll learn to bake rose cakes by hand alongside local Dali aunties who have done this ten thousand times before — an old, warm reminder that life is meant to be savoured, not rushed through.

And underneath all of it — the tea, the roses, the mountain air — you'll be held in a deep exploration of Tantra: energy work, breath, ecstatic movement, sacred ritual, and the tools to finally come home to your body, your intimacy, and your capacity to love and be loved without armor.

This is for you if:
🌿 You feel disconnected from your body, living too much in your head
💗 Intimacy feels complicated — old wounds keep you at a distance from the love you want
🔥 The spark, in yourself or your relationship, has quietly faded
🌸 You've read the books and tried the apps, but something real still feels missing
🤍 You're longing to be truly seen — without performance, without pretence

Whether you come alone or with your partner, whether you're brand new to Tantra or have walked this path for years — you'll be met exactly where you are, and gently guided somewhere you didn't know you could reach.
