Introducing ·R E V E L·
Dance Meets Tantra’s first full-send convergence.
A celebration of the artists, facilitators, and methodologies that move us most.
REVEL brings together world-class DJs, musicians, and embodiment teachers in a container that holds the depth, safety, and intimacy Dance Meets Tantra is known for.
More intimate than a festival. More free and expansive than a retreat. REVEL is a culture-making convergence at the intersection of dance, tantra, art, somatics, sexuality, community, and collective evolution.
Set against the stunning red-rock bluffs of Sunrise Ranch, our venue offers convenient camping locations, cozy indoor accommodations, and a farm-fresh meal plan that is the best retreat food you'll ever have (some of which is grown right at Sunrise Ranch). REVEL is a place to exhale, unwind, and truly drop in with community.
Ticket Prices increase June 1st.
What Happens at REVEL?
REVEL is a choose-your-own-adventure experience, with multiple tracks of programming woven throughout the day and night, so you can follow what calls you, rest when you need to, and go as deep as you want.
Programming includes:
Dance, embodiment, and connection workshops interspersed with down-time, pool hangs, rituals, talks, and live DJ sets by headliners like The Human Experience
Friday evening and Saturday evening collective ritual “temple” experience, held by a world-class guide and accompanied by epic DJs and live musicians. Our temples will begin with verbal and touch practices to build safety and trust, and then open into free play. See our note below on how we relate to eros and sexuality in this container.
There will be a down-regulation sanctuary available throughout the event, with support from trusted friends and/or trained professionals depending on need.
There is a balance of workshops designed to push growth edges and workshops designed to regulate and rest. There will be always be programming available for anyone that is wanting to have a more solo or G-rated experience. You will be honored, supported and celebrated for where you're at.
Time to nourish yourself: eat incredible farm-fresh food, relax by the pool, explore the land, or take spacious downtime by yourself or with friends
We will have a required opening ceremony where we establish shared agreements and a strong collective container that carries us through the convergence.
Please read below for more specifics on how we relate to eros and tantra in this space.

Who Is REVEL For?
REVEL is for:
Dancers, creatives, lovers, seekers, and community-builders
Those passionate about deepening their dance and tantra practice
Dance Meets Tantra alumni looking for a celebratory, expansive way to gather and receive from world-class teachers
People who crave depth and play

Anyone drawn to safely exploring their edges in a loving, trauma-informed environment
Those who want to drink deeply from the wisdom of leading voices in embodiment, relational intimacy, sacred sexuality, and shadow work
What Makes REVEL Different?
More intimacy than a festival, more expansive and free than a retreat
Not a retreat. Not a festival. Not a party. A convergence
Facilitators and musicians who actually participate, no “sages on stages”
A strong, explicit container that prioritizes safety and aliveness
Somatic support and trauma-informed protocols that still invite real edge and transformation
A field where artists, teachers, and participants move, eat, dance, and rest together
The Container (The Heart of Dance Meets Tantra)
We begin REVEL by establishing a shared agreement field, something everyone can relax into, knowing we’re on the same page.
The convergence is held within the following values and agreements:
Substance-free — We gather without drugs or alcohol, supporting clarity, presence, and authentic connection.
Trauma-informed — We honor diverse nervous systems and lived experiences, moving with care, choice, and respect for personal pacing and boundaries.
Consent culture — navigating consent verbally and non-verbally
Eros-positive — we honor eros and sexuality, without making sexuality the focus
“Bottoms stay on” — a clothing boundary in all public spaces
Permission — to be your full, alive expression, including your sensual and erotic nature
Safety — boundaries, attunement, consent, and self-responsibility are foundational
Vulnerability — we create safer spaces to get real, present, and human together
We will have a trauma-informed support team available to work with and support anyone that experiencing a challenge or an edge and wanting to be held in it.

✨ About Dance Meets Tantra:
Dance Meets Tantra is a transformational body of work exploring the confluence of conscious dance, relational intimacy, ritual and ceremony, and kink and shadow work. We are dedicated to empowering communities to relate with greater authenticity, aliveness, and care, embracing both light and dark while cultivating a group field that is profoundly greater than the sum of its parts.
Since 2021, we have been offering cutting-edge and trauma-informed workshops, retreats, facilitator trainings, and festivals around the world.
Perhaps you’ve been feeling the call, for dance spaces to evolve, to become more attuned and inclusive of a wider spectrum of expression; and for tantra to be more embodied, playful, and alive. You may sense, instinctively, that something extraordinary happens when embodied movers gather with the safety, permission, and presence to be fully alive and deeply connected.
This is Dance Meets Tantra.
✨ A Note on Tantra:
For us, Tantra is the practice and art of being fully alive. There is nothing sexual in nature in the activities we share. Sometimes sexual energy arises, and it is only permitted within the context of consent, agreements, and the container that is set.
Our intention with Dance Meets Tantra is to support individuals in deepening their love, respect, and relationship with themselves, others, and the earth. We believe that dance, eros, and Tantra are fundamental aspects of living a vibrant, empowered, and creative life. Through various explorations, we aim to liberate creativity and life force, inviting you to step into your fullest expression.
We hold deep honor and respect for classical Tantra and the lineages from which it originates. While classical Tantra profoundly influences our work, we do not present ourselves as representatives of classical Tantra.
