Around the world, a new kind of festival is emerging. Less about spectacle and more about soul, “conscious festivals” are offering something many people didn’t realize they were missing: real connection, emotional depth, and spaces where they can simply be themselves. A boutique, all-inclusive festival experience, the Toronto Tantra Festival is one of Canada’s most unique responses to the growing wave of conscious gatherings. Now in its fifth year, the four-day festival brings together people from across North America for a curated journey into sacred sexuality, conscious relating, emotional release, breathwork, and guided movement, including dance and somatic practices. The programming provides practical tools and embodied experiences that foster emotional regulation, self-awareness, and authentic relationship-building. “People are hungry for authentic connection and spaces where they can show up fully as themselves,” says Festival Co-Director Jovana Zmaj. “This festival meets that need in a real and welcoming way. It’s not about performance, it’s about presence.” Blending ancient wisdom with modern embodiment tools, the festival offers over 40 workshops led by international facilitators. Participants explore topics such as emotional intelligence, communication, nervous system regulation, and personal sovereignty, all within a container rooted in consent, inclusion, and embodied spirituality. Hosted by ONE Conscious Experiences, the festival features […]

Wow, TTF fam! Just, wow! It is always such an incredible birthing process to bring forth our TTF program each year! Each one is unique, and carries the distinct frequency of the annual theme. When SOUL REMEMBRANCE came through as our theme…we really didn’t know what to expect! We combed through 80+ facilitator proposals, considered 100’s of workshop, and ritual ideas, and felt into what is being called for this year by our collective field. MASSIVE thank you to Casey Easton and Jaime Verk, founding members of our TTF Advisory Circle, who helped me navigate this alchemical process! And we are so excited and delighted to finally be able to share our 2025 Program!   Some highlights and TTF firsts are:  Queer programming – a long-awaited TTF first!  more conscious BDSM programming than ever (for different levels of experience, too!)  a mini-stream of experiences that works with Death (of course when we call in SOUL, we must also meet Death!)  our first ever Kirtan!  our first 45+ Temple!  Tantric partner dance and more movement experiences  a collective Divine Re-Union Ceremony …and other juicy morsels we will let you discover for yourself! This Program doesn’t even include our Red Tent rituals, nor our Artistic programming…so this year […]

Thank you for everyone who came to embrace their multitudes: the Dark, the Light, the Chaos, the Form, the Spirit, the Body, the Infinite, and the Finite. Thank you to everyone for coming to dance your SOUL REMEMBRANCE and shed the shame and dogma that has separated us from our true nature for eons. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU for sharing the vision of what is possible when we remember the sacredness of this Life! Thank you Matty Ryce, Audra Santa, and Chris Taylor – Auraboros for weaving your magic with us. Word do not suffice…but we know you feel the deep well of gratitude overflowing in your direction. *vigorous jazz hands in your direction* WHAT’S NEXT: We wrap up a truly epic TTF25 Launch Week with a much-deserved integration and decompression at Banya (the Russian bathhouse). Join us anytime around 6pm. And if you want 4 FULL DAYS of this kind of magic and goodness, join us this September 4-7th at Tantrafest! ONLY 4 Early Bird Tickets Left!!!

As the Festival continues to grow, expand, and touch more and more lives, Cee and Jovana recognized that they could no longer hold the field on their own.  In response, the TTF Advisory Circle was established this year – a group of community pillars and cherished allies committed to helping steward the vision into 2025 and beyond.   Naturally, the journey began with the Programming portfolio. Programming is the *magic* and *frequency* that weaves the community into transcendent bliss every September.  When it came time to fill these vital roles, Casey and Jamie were at the top of the list! These women have dedicated their lives to learning, teaching, guiding, and diving into the depths of what it takes to be awake, alive, and empowered on the planet right now. With decades of experience between them, we are so lucky to have their eyes, ears, and hearts on TTF Programming this year! In this chat, we share more of the threads that are coming through the SOUL REMEMBRANCE theme, and what we are starting to brew for this year! Hint: it’s about life…and death…and repair…and Sacred Union within and without…   Click here to give it a listen…and let us know what you feel as you tune into […]

A huge, big, loving, THANK YOU TO EVERYONE who submitted to facilitate at the Festival this year! We absolutely LOVED reading 80+ submissions with hundreds of proposals for workshops, rituals, and experiences that were full of magic and soul. (You made it SO fucking hard for us to have to choose which offerings to bring to the Festival this year!) After weeks of deliberation, we are so pleased and proud to share with you (most of) our absolutely stellar Facilitation lineup for 2025. Over the coming weeks and months, we will be individually featuring each one of these brilliant people so that you can get to know them and the work that they are bringing to the Festival. Stay tuned for that, as the wisdom, experience, expertise and totally inspirational passion these people have is something to behold!

We are so pleased to introduce our TTF25 Ambassador! Each year we select someone for this role to help bring a special flavour and unique alchemy to the program…and we couldn’t think of a better-suited person to bring this year’s theme of SOUL REMEMBRANCE to life! Crystal Dawn Morris became a Nurse-Midwife in 1988 and spent decades helping women have conscious births. Her birthing work continues now as a spiritual midwife, helping people awaken through Tantra, Shamanic Breathwork, and as lead faculty in the International School of Temple Arts. She has been exploring the realms of Spirit since the age of 12, when she was introduced to Zen, and her personal awakenings, and intensive studies since then have involved Tibetan Tantra, Kashmiri Shaivism, Taoist practices, neo-Tantra, and Shamanism. Over the course of a lifetime devoted to the path of awakening, she has mastered the art of “making love with life,” and is dedicated to helping others experience their full aliveness. Crystal’s mission is to be a catalyst for global transformation; manifesting a world based on love, freedom and compassion for all beings everywhere. And it feels truly fitting that she will be weaving with us this year! Crystal Dawn’s playful enthusiasm creates a space […]

A New Chapter in Our Shared Journey As we gather to celebrate the beginning of TTF25 and attune to the energy of Soul Remembrance, we’re excited to share something we’ve been quietly nurturing behind the scenes… Something Entirely New ONE Conscious Experiences is a new business and brand, emerging from the deepening of our purpose and the natural evolution of our work. As we transition from Love & Ecstasy, ONE becomes our more expansive container that holds the heart of what we’ve co-created over the years, and makes space for our new creations to unfold. ONE is the umbrella for the Toronto Tantra Festival, our upcoming urban conference, and a growing constellation of events and experiences rooted in connection, embodiment, and transformation.

Each year, the festival explores a new theme that guides the formation of our program and shared experience. Over the past 4 years, we have cultivated our community connections and tapped into the Collective Pulse – the beating of our collective heart. And as we continue to listen to that throbbing pulse …something starts to stir deep within …a light that was merely a flicker shines brighter and brighter …our perception shifts, as if a veil has lifted …and we to touch something true, something beautiful We enter the realm of Soul. Our 2025 Theme: SOUL REMEMBRANCE SOUL REMEMBRANCE is a call to the sacred way of life; to remembering your wholeness and your connection to all that is. Remembering who you were before you were told to be less; before your dream job became just a job; before your heart was broken into a million pieces; before your body – your holy temple – lost its connection to God. Soul remembrance is attuning to the clear signal of your inner knowing in a sea of distortion and noise. It is following the guidance of soul purpose to bring your full expression into the world: By remembering that you are […]
