Our Philosophy
Tantra Yoga, Meditation and Holistic Healing
We hold the intention of making these precious teachings and gatherings consistently accessible, affordable, and relevant for modern life. We contribute to an ecstatic, harmonious, yogic, sustainable, and healthy culture. The teachings are non-dogmatic and extremely personalized. You are empowered as a student to choose your level of dedication to the practice, as it should best fit your life and your needs.
Dakini Temple facilitators have collectively gathered knowledge, experience, and initiations from a multitude of tantric traditions including Tibetan Buddhism, Kasmir Shiavism, the Sri-Vidya, hatha yoga, sacred temple dance of India and the Middle-East, earth-based Shamanism, among others. We strive to serve up an inspired, potent, authentic, and practical blend of ancient wisdom that enrich and refine life now.
Lotus Tantra Institute is located in Vancouver, British Columbia. The exact address is given out when you make reservations for an event. The space is intentionally private to accommodate a deeper level of teaching, healing, community connection, and celebration. Specific workshops may sometimes be held off-site at special locations.
Lotus Tantra Institute facilitators are also available to travel worldwide upon request for sponsored workshops, healing work, and consultations for individuals and groups in private homes, yoga studios, retreat centers, and resorts. Please inquire for details.
The word ‘tantra’ has many colorful connotations in the West. The teachings, healing services, and gatherings offered here are appropriate for novices and for the public. The open workshops and healing services are completely non-explicit, though the essence of authentic tantra is transmitted and much can be learned to enrich all aspects of life, including conscious sensuality and yogic intimacy. All practices are completely optional, as we intend to provide a safe, playful, grounded, and sacred practice space in which all boundaries are respected.
In line with the tantric philosophy of celebrating the senses and artistic expression within yogic awareness – music, food, and art are all vital elements of the vision for Temple.
Lotus Tantra Institute is committed to sustainable GREEN business practices. We recycle, compost, and only use sustainable and non-toxic supplies.

Most of us have been taught to compartmentalize our lives—to keep our work, spiritual and erotic lives as separate as possible—in order to keep the peace and not offend anyone. Explore an opposite approach. When our erotic energy is aligned with our spiritual purpose, it releases our creativity and manifests in prosperity and happiness in all areas of life, including fulfilling relationships with other people.
