It's completely normal to feel curious, nervous, or uncertain before something like this. We'd rather you ask every question than talk yourself out of something that could change your life. Ask away.
Radiant Hearts Fest Austin is a new chapter. After seven years of Austin Tantra Festival, that cycle has formally completed — and Radiant Hearts Fest is emerging as a fresh, collaborative, heart-centered gathering devoted to embodied love, conscious connection, sacred energy, and community.
Radiant Hearts Fest Austin takes place December 4–6, 2026, with an optional after-party on December 7, 2026.
The after-party is separately ticketed and has limited capacity. More details will be shared closer to the event.
The festival will be conveniently located in Austin — easy to reach from anywhere in the city and less than 20 minutes from the airport for guests traveling in.
Due to limited parking and privacy, full location details and directions will be sent upon registration.
No. Radiant Hearts Fest is Tantra-oriented, but it is also open to other modalities that enhance connection, embodiment, love, intimacy, emotional awareness, and authentic relating. You don't need a background in Tantra to thrive here.
Radiant Hearts Fest explores intimacy, embodiment, sacred energy, connection, and conscious relating. While some workshops may include sensual or intimate themes, this festival is not a "sex party."
All participation is based on consent, personal choice, clear boundaries, and personal responsibility. This is a space for deepening connection — not explicit sexual activity.
Yes. Radiant Hearts Fest is a heart-centered, inclusive space for people of all identities, relationship styles, orientations, and backgrounds — as long as they are aligned with consent, respect, authenticity, and conscious connection. You are welcome here exactly as you are.
Yes. Singles, couples, friends, monogamous people, polyamorous people, and those exploring conscious relationship dynamics are all welcome — as long as everyone honors the festival's culture of consent, respect, and personal responsibility.
No. This is an 18+ event, no exceptions.
This event may not be the right fit for people who are unwilling to honor consent, boundaries, emotional responsibility, inclusivity, or the personal growth nature of the work. It is also not recommended for anyone looking for a purely passive entertainment experience or a sexually permissive environment without structure.
We say this with care — not judgment. Knowing who this is not for is just as important as knowing who it is for.
You can expect embodied practices rooted in Tantra, breathwork, movement, polarity-based experiences, intimacy skills, conscious touch, communication practices, emotional connection, and transformational tools you can take home and integrate into everyday life.
No. Every practice is optional. You are always welcome to observe, modify, sit out, take space, or choose the level of participation that feels right for you. No one will pressure you, and no explanation is needed.
That is completely normal — and honestly, it's one of the most common things people tell us before they arrive. The festival is designed to be welcoming, consent-forward, and go-at-your-own-pace. Nothing is required. You can choose workshops that feel accessible, take breaks, step outside, or simply observe.
Many people arrive nervous, quietly hoping no one notices — and leave feeling like they've finally found their people. You don't have to have it all figured out before you walk in. You just have to walk in.
No previous experience is required. Many attendees are beginners, and the festival is a wonderful place to explore different styles and teachings while discovering what resonates with you. Come as you are.
Yes, absolutely. Many people have their first Tantra experience at a festival. It's a beautiful way to explore at your own pace, choose the workshops that call to you, relax when you need to, and experience many different styles and flavors of Tantra. It is a welcoming environment for discovering what feels aligned for you.
You are very welcome to come on your own, with a partner, or with friends. The festival welcomes both singles and couples, and many people attend solo. You will not feel out of place — this community is warm and welcoming to those who arrive on their own.
No. Many workshops are designed for individuals, and some may include partner exercises. A very limited number of workshops may ask you to bring a partner — but you can usually find someone to partner with at the festival. You will not be left out.
Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move, breathe, sit on the floor, dance, and adjust to changing body temperature. Some people enjoy expressive, festival-style, sensual, or sacred clothing — but there is no required dress style. Wear what feels like you.
No. There are no workshops where nudity is required. Some workshops may offer nudity as an option — this will always be clearly stated upfront, and participation is always your choice.
Yes. The festival is designed as a community experience, with opportunities for connection, conversation, shared meals, movement, play, and integration between workshops. Some of the most meaningful moments happen outside the formal sessions.
Many workshops can open emotional, relational, or energetic material — and that can be a beautiful thing. The festival is designed with care, consent, and community in mind. Attendees are encouraged to take breaks, ask for support, and move at their own pace. You are never alone in this space.
The tentative schedule will be available on the website approximately one month before the event.
Yes. We plan to have food trucks on-site, and there are also several restaurants within walking distance or a short drive. The schedule will include plenty of space for meal times.
Consent is central to everything here. You are always encouraged to honor your own boundaries, ask before engaging with others, respect clear yeses and nos, and remember that consent can be changed or withdrawn at any time — no explanation needed.
This is not a rule posted on a wall. It is a living practice, actively cultivated throughout the entire event.
Yes. Our code of conduct centers on consent, respect, clear boundaries, confidentiality, personal responsibility, integrity, inclusivity, and a no-pressure environment. By attending, you agree to uphold these agreements — not because you're told to, but because you understand that the culture we protect is the experience we all share.
Anyone who violates the festival's consent, safety, or community agreements may be asked to stop participating, leave a workshop, or leave the festival entirely — depending on the situation. The safety of the community comes first. Violations are handled with clarity, care, and appropriate action.
Yes. Our facilitation team — experienced practitioners in somatic work, trauma-informed care, and conscious community — is present throughout the entire festival. If you ever feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or in need of support, any team member can help. You are never alone in this space.
Some public areas may be photographed or recorded for promotional purposes, but private or sensitive workshop spaces will follow clear privacy guidelines. Attendee confidentiality and consent are important to us.
We are committed to making the festival as accessible as possible. Please contact us before registering if you have mobility, sensory, medical, or accessibility needs so we can let you know what accommodations are available.
Tantra is elegantly simple at its core: it invites us to bring consciousness to what was once unconscious.
Through this awareness, Tantra supports two great desires: to know who we truly are, and to love ourselves fully. Tantra is not about learning something new — it is about remembering who we already are: complete expressions of divine love.
It is a journey of uniting heart and mind, body and soul, sexuality and spirituality. Tantra supports the release of guilt, shame, and fear so we can experience more purpose, joy, intimacy, ease, and embodied bliss.
The word Tantra comes from the Sanskrit root "tan," meaning to increase, expand, or stretch. Tantra is a path of Yes — a practice that includes everything and excludes nothing.
No. Our festival features a mix of independent teachers from a variety of backgrounds — including traditional Tantra, modern embodiment practices, intimacy work, healing arts, and teachings that may not be branded as "Tantra" but still support presence, connection, and ease with all that we are and feel.

Yes. We offer early bird ticket tiers and volunteer discounts. If you feel called to be in service as a volunteer, you can apply for volunteer opportunities. Otherwise, the sooner you purchase, the lower the price will usually be.
