Sacred Tantric Sites
of Ancient, Creative Power
India Tour
Feb 13-28th 2026
Join us for this unique pilgrimage to mystical India
With a special focus on potent ritual sites of Tantric significance.
We will visit ancient temples devoted to Devi, the Great Goddess, where the sacred sounds, bells & ritual of offerings have not ceased for millennia. Off the beaten path, hidden gems in remote countryside locations, we will visit these architecturally significant power places that envelop you in divine beauty and meditation, with a connection to the roots of traditional Tantra yoga practice.
Our journey will begin during the auspicious period of Mahashivaratri, the Great Night of Lord Shiva, a supercharged timing to cultivate inner transformation and peace. We will be under the guidance of a Realized master performing Yagna, ancient fire ceremony, a profound Shiva ritual, and will have the option to receive a personalized mantra initiation to deepen into our soul’s path.
We have carved time for the Art of Rejuvenation with an extended stay at a secluded oceanfront eco retreat along the Bay of Bengal where the sounds of the ocean’s waves will carry you into your dreams. Imagine travelling to a long-kept secret Yogini temple from the 9th century by day and then returning for a seaside dinner together by evening.
Included throughout the journey will be Tantric philosophy & breathwork, dance, embodiment, Sanskrit chanting, and meditation practices led by your guides, Krista & Dallas.

Your Guides
Krista Nova
Krista lives her life in dedication to the Tantric Arts. Her first trip to India as a very young adult in 1996 influenced her life in ways she could never have imagined. She has returned to India endlessly since her first voyage and spent many years of her life in India harvesting wisdom, sitting in the presence of masters and seeking the guidance she finds essential on her path.
Her heart thrives through her devotion to the Goddess and she is dedicated to the ancient Tantric practices of India to nourish her soul’s quest for union. She has been facilitating Tantric spaces and devotional magic for the last 20 years and is also deeply rooted in her work as a somatic therapist providing a trauma sensitive space.
Dallas Eresman
Dallas’ path has been entwined with the ancient knowledge, culture, art and devotional practices of India since her first visit in 2012 which began as a quest to connect with the roots of Yoga. Her annual visits became the necessary anchor point for building her Vedic Astrology (Jyotish) professional practice, Tantra Yoga pilgrimage, as well as studies in Classical Indian temple dance, Odissi.
She began to uncover knowledge of the lunar phases in the ancient Tantric texts and a linkage between the Tantric Mahavidyas (Wisdom Goddesses), with the elements and qualities of each of the major planets as they influence our lives. Dallas specializes in Birth Chart readings, Soul Purpose Guidance and weaving this knowledge in an embodied way through movement and Dance.

Sites we will visit along this tour
Maharashtra
Our journey begins at a rare and powerful Tantric ashram hidden in the heart of Maharashtra, aligned with the sacred Bhairavanand lineage. Resting on the edge of a lively village, this sanctified ground is sustained by the grace of a true Master and alive with the forces of inner alchemy and awakening.
We arrive to prepare and celebrate the most auspicious night of Mahāśivarātri—the great night of Shiva, when stillness deepens and the doorway to inner liberation opens. Through prayer, meditation, mantra, and the sacred yagna fire, we will keep vigil through the night, invoking the presence of Mahādeva.
We will offer Abhishek to the Shiva Lingam, bathing it in devotion, and in doing so, soften into surrender—receiving the blessings of peace, grace, and profound inner awakening.
Orissa
We will make an oceanside eco retreat along the tropical Bay of Bengal our home base and travel to a number of ancient Tantric temples and ritual sites by day. Included will be an architecturally stunning, 13th Century Sun Temple devoted to the Sun God, Surya, with the option of visiting one of the hidden 64 Yogini temples of the 9th Century, devoted to ritual worship of the Goddess in her many forms.
Lastly, we will journey to a remote countryside location to another ancient Shakti peeth, known as the breasts of the Goddess and a site dedicated to the worship of Mother Taara in her fierce form.
Andhra Pradesh
Located in a remote, lush landscape in South India, this temple is a three dimensional Sri Yantra, the mystical sacred geometry of intersecting triangles that represents the union of masculine & feminine principles, as well as the material with the spiritual realms of existence. The Sri Yantra is a powerful meditative tool for awakening deeper layers of awareness, removing obstacles of the mind, and grounding in nourishing, receptive energy.
A learning centre for the Sri Vidya lineage, the temple rituals and ancient fire ceremonies are extremely potent and held mostly by priestesses. There is a palpable sweetness in the air here that inspires a deep heart resonance.
Assam
We are called to finish our journey in the far northeast of India, a land beyond time, where mist and mantra intertwine. This sacred region known as the cradle of Tantra is the eternal dwelling place of the Goddess—one of the most potent sources of Shakti power on Earth.
Here, we will enter one of the most powerful Shakti Pithas, alongside ancient temples that pulse with living energy. These sanctuaries have been awakened and sustained for millennia through endless mantra, unwavering devotion, and the boundless grace of Maa.
This is a land where the veil between worlds grows thin, where the Divine Feminine breathes through you, through me, the air and the earth. To walk here is to be touched at the deepest level of your being—to remember something ancient, luminous, and eternal within yourself.
This journey is for you if…
- You feel the rhythm of everyday life is too predictable, and you long to reconnect with the honey sweet electricity of life.
- You have developed a curiosity to travel to India, and you are ready to seize the moment.
- You wish to walk this sacred land in the company of kindred souls—those who share your devotion to inner growth and awakening.
