Guided by body/mind/spiritual mentor Ana Nieto • Anamor
Theme: Gratitude, Presence & Sacred Union
This November, as the season turns us toward gratitude and connection, we invite you into a heart-opening, sensual, and soulful evening of embodied intimacy and sacred relating.
Whether you’re coming with a beloved partner or solo with an open heart, this experience is a chance to explore tantric touch in a playful, reverent, and energy-aware way.
This ceremony blends physical practices, energetic work, and shamanic ritual to support deep connection with yourself and others, in a caringly curated, sex-positive space. Singles will be paired for the initial exercise, and couples may choose to stay together or rotate through the exercises to explore conscious polarity with others.
✨ In this experience, you’ll
- Clear blocks to intimacy and authentic presence
- Explore sacred touch and partnered practices with care and clear agreements
- Move energy through breath, movement and connection
- Practice heart-centered communication to build trust and vulnerability
- Experience sacred union as a gateway to healing and joy
- Be nourished by the energy of community, creativity and gratitude
This is a guided experience structured for your safety, for those ready to explore divine intimacy, whether as a couple, as a solo explorer, or as part of a larger intentional community.

✨ Intimacy Understandings
This is a sacred, heart-centered gathering in the Pink spectrum of conventional community guidelines (L3 on the L1-L4 scale sometimes used for sex-positive events), held in a space of deep respect, consent, and care.
- White — A fully clothed, connection-focused space; affection expressed without touching intimate areas.
- Pink — A more open, embodied space; shirts optional, bottoms always on; loving, consensual touch may include all areas of the body.
- Red — A clothing-optional space; intimate experiences may be present or witnessed, always grounded in consent and respect.
The intro segment will underscore the need, value and methods of active, enthusiastic consent. Our monitors serve as guardians of the container, looking out for the safety of all and honoring each person’s boundaries. We hold to a zero-tolerance policy for unwelcome intrusions.
Solo men and women are welcome to request tickets. You will be “paired” but only for the sake of gender balance; you will not be expected to engage in intimacy with that (or any) partner. Each person at the event will have opportunity to interact with each other-gender person, and can freely decide with whom they may wish to connect with touch—or not.
We respect and affirm all LGBTQIA+ humans. However, this event relies on the yin-yang balance of energies between man and woman participants. If you’re looking for an event intended for queer-focused interactions, we bless you to find a different one that’s ideally suited to you and your beloved.
