Practice - Work - Play - Chill
Live together with other Tantra Teachers in paradise locations
A decade ago I had a great idea. I realised how being on retreat is amazing: incredible people living together with daily practices and open hearts. But as teachers, we are busy teaching and holding space! So, what if we lived as if we are on retreat, but all the teachers together! And with time to do all that daily-life stuff that we need to do when we are not facilitating: build our websites, organise the next retreats, post on our socials etc.
So I invented the Tantra Sangha: a community of Tantra Teachers living together in a pop-up community. Pop-up because they lasted 1 or 2 months, and were held in different locations around the world. Community because we all shared a common goal: our work in the world, and we share things such as daily practice, sharing circles, work space, cuddle time, and forum sharing circles.
And it is the best thing I ever did.
Because it is for me, as much as for anyone else, I do this not-for-profit. I just ask the venue to give me a room in exchange for the organising, and arrange some overlap to cover major losses. Otherwise, we are all just paying rent; there are no retreat fees.
We co-create this event. Each of us will lead morning practice, and/or lead an evening session. Or perhaps you will give a talk on some aspect of Tantrapreneurship and managing business. This is a co-created community. And that is it's magic!

About this Pop-Up Community
This Tantrapreneur Sangha is 7 weeks, to allow a decent amount of time to dig deep into your work project and gets loads of work done, whilst having fun. We have a number of villas, on the edge of a river, with shared living rooms and private pools. There is also a shala, so we can practice yoga together, and have group events. There is a possibility of joining for only 3.5 weeks, but priority will be given to those who can commit to the whole period.
One of the gems of this Sangha is that we are very close to Ubud's 2 best Health Clubs. At Titi Batu we have additional yoga classes, AC gym, king size pool, sauna, steam, ice bath, co working area and restaurant. All a couple of minutes walk away! This is only £65 a month for full membership. There is also the Bali Eden Health Club a short walk away, and we can visit for the Sunday Social" gym, sauna, steam, jacuzzi, ice bath event for £25. You can choose for each if you want monthly membership or pay per visit.
Also special for this community is that Bali Spirit Festival lands near the end April 15th to 19th. It is an amazing festival of workshops, performances and music events. It is huge energy, and so we can use this event to celebrate all the work we did and raise our energy for our manifestation in the world. I love this festival! And it is not far from where we live.
Please have a project to work on. This is about co-creating a strong coherent field for focus and productivity. By doing this, we all benefit and get so much more done than we would alone. Plus we have lots of good social connection, shared daily practices, family meals and evening cuddles.

What it looks like
The structure is created by Shashi, and is an invitation. Please note that the only obligatory things are a shared breakfast (even if you only have a tea or a juice) and a weekly sharing circle on a Friday. Having said that, it is a community and so please intend to join more communal events that you miss, otherwise we end up being a shared house with everyone doing their own thing, and we will miss the magic of community (there are other places you can find co-living like that). As the initiator, Shashi carries a leadership role. She also carries the responsibility for the venue and thus will make decisions based upon that responsibility. Please check within that you are comfortable with that.
Mon to Fri: STRUCTURE: focus on work
Sat and Sun: FLOW: Focus on play and chill
Mon to Fri:
Weekends: One day we tend to organise a fun activity such as a waterfall visit, beach trip (30 mins away) or hike in small groups. The other day to each do their own thing.
The only obligatory events are breakfasts together Mon to Fri, and Forum on a Friday morning.

What are the collective agreements?
- No alcohol or drugs on site
- Health-conscious lifestyle choices, positive mindset, intention for harmony and open hearted living.
- No gossiping about other community members behind their back
- Self-responsibility and accountability. This is a community, not a retreat.
- Agreement to reach out to someone if you are triggered by them and seek resolution (or ask for mediation)
- Agreement to show up for forum every week (Friday 10am - do not book any other appointments, including online)
- Intention to be considerate to the collective, as well as your individual needs
- Intention to co-create emotional safety for all
Who it is for
- This is for Tantra professionals: facilitators, coaches, bodyworkers etc. Sometimes you are peripheral but still resonate such as dance facilitators, breathwork facilitators etc.
- You need to be ON IT with your project! You already run an online business, have a social media following, organise retreats etc. This is not a retreat to learn any of this. It is a co-working retreat for those already doing their thing.
- This is for community-minded people. You like living close to others, you are happy to be seen in the morning without makeup and before coffee (!). You contribute to the collective. You show up for community events, yet you are also good with your own boundaries and know when you need to take space for yourself. You show up to morning practice, and are happy to do the class with everyone else (creating a unified field)
- How well do you know Shashi? This is mostly about living with my friends and colleagues, but occasionally someone I didn't yet meet feels called and is resonant. If you feel that you want to study with me, pease join a training (www.taotantricarts.com), but do not sign up for this event. Thank you.
What do you need?
- To live on site you must be able to attend for the ENTIRE period, arriving on day 1 for the opening ceremony (or the entire half period)
- You need your own project and all you need to do work whilst on this retreat
- You can manage accountability for yourself; you can hold space for yourself
- You need enough abundance to pay your rent, food, travel, insurance and have plenty left over for lifestyle. If you are struggling on a budget, it can hold the whole community back.
