Where can we stay the night?
Are there places to eat nearby?
Delta has many restaurants to meet many dietary needs. We will share a list of our favorites to meet all dietary needs in the group emails.
What about alcohol?
All Earth Tantra events are sober. Our farm is a alcohol and drug free wellness space with bees and other animals sensitive to mind alerting intakes. Thank you for respecting this. We move enough energy naturally with breathwork that you'll feel naturally high anyway :)
 
Is this retreat clothed?

Yes, private retreats OR  Feb 21-27th, 2026  Sensual Souls Advanced Retreat in Roatan. Art Of Loving will meet the prerequisite for Sensual Souls. 
What if I'm a little uncomfortable? 
Each practice and session is always presented with options to adapt to each person's comfort level.  Comfort is a priority and we grow upon each practice step by step to ensure a gentle introduction for deepening your connection with your partner.

What can I bring?  
Comfortable warm and cool weather clothing due to spring weather, white ceremonial clothing, water bottle, AND one meaningful item (stone, photo, quote/poem, etc) to share on the alter - you will receive the item back.  If you are driving from home, we highly suggest bringing a personal blanket, yoga mat, extra pillow or cushion to stay warm and cozy with your beloved. Anything else to help you feel comfortable.  A more detailed list will be e-mailed a few weeks before the event.
 
Where are the closest airports?  
Montrose airport is only a 25 minute drive to Delta. Grand Junction is 1 hr. Denver airport is approximately 6+ hrs due to the mountain passes and weekend traffic on a Friday and Sunday.
