Where do you find your place in the vast and ever-evolving tapestry of the universe? Join Tantric scholar Sravana Borkataky-Varma as we collectively explore the transformative power of Tantric practices, particularly through the creation of physical mandalas (mandala), circles, and various shapes that can reshape our internal and external worlds. Together, we will examine, challenge, and expand our understanding of Tantra—what it has been, what it is, and what it can become.
We welcome both individuals and couples to join us in this workshop, which harmoniously blends meditation and art with a comprehensive exploration of Tantra’s therapeutic potential to foster a happier, more fulfilling life. Come with an open mind as we delve into profound questions about our bodies and minds in a safe and nurturing environment.

Dormitories
Rooms with beds for up to 7-8 people. Gender-segregated with men in their own dorm and women in another. The dorms use a shared bathroom down the hall, which is also equipped with shower stalls.
Monk Rooms
A cost-effective option for participants looking for indoor, solitary lodging, but who don’t mind using a shared bathroom or are looking for a more affordable retreat solution. These rooms are in the same hall as the Ridgen Dormitories, but offer more privacy than the dorms. In addition to a bed, bedding, a private room and closet, the monk rooms also have a large window and a desk and desk chair for added comfort.
Single and Double Rooms
The perfect choice for a retreat where you want both your own space and your own bathroom. Each room offers a little more space, a dresser and closet, and a 3/4s bathroom (toilet, sink, and shower, no bathtub) attached to each room.
Junior Suite
Our Lodge Junior Suites include a queen-size bed topped by a cozy comforter, a desk, dresser, closet and private bath with bathtub, plus a sitting area.
