We feel blessed that our festival will be held at the beautiful C-Dar Lodge Farm in Paradise Valley, Squamish. This is a very magical, sustainable, holistic and inspiring piece of Land located on the banks of a glacier river.

When you arrive there will be some parking inside and if you find this already full upon your arrival, please park outside on the main road. Once you have found your parking spot please come to registration and if you have a camping pass, present it and we will direct you to the designated camping areas.

Accommodation

If you wish to camp on the land please purchase a camping pass from our website. The camping pass must be purchased for each person staying on the land, regardless if you are sharing a tent or vehicle you each need to buy camping pass. If you are bringing an RV or Camper please let us know directly as we have very limited space for these and there is an extra cost to stay on the property of $50. If staying in an RV or camper the $50 fee is for one person and the camper, any additional people staying in the RV/Camper need to buy a camping pass.

Note: We do not provide camping equipment so if you buy a camping pass make sure you come fully equipped with your own portable accommodation/tent, sleeping bag, mattress and clothing that will be suitable for warm or cold weather. If you don’t like camping you are welcome to stay in a local Airbnb at your own expense and travel in each day. (Note we do not provide transport to and from the venue if you choose this option).

Food & Vendors

You have a choice of bringing your own food or purchasing our delicious meal package provided by Turnip The Beetz Catering in advance. The meal package includes 5 meals: Friday dinner, Saturday lunch & dinner and Sunday lunch & dinner.

All meals are organic, gluten free and plant based. The food will nourish your taste buds with nutrient-rich flavours designed to keep you healthy and balanced! To purchase a meal plan click here.

Breakfast is provided separately to the meal package and can be purchased on site daily for $10 cash.

Apart from that we have limited food options so it is encouraged to bring food and snacks that will make you feel happy and nourished. There is water on the land to use for cooking and drinking, bring your own cooking stove if you wish to cook as there is no communal kitchen.

We will have a cash only Aphrodisiac bar on Saturday night with delights such as Cacao, Bliss balls and other amazing tinctures.

To make it easier on the environment and venders, please bring your own eating utensils, plates and drinking mug.

There will also be a small vending area with various merchandise to buy. Bring cash for your purchases.

Purchases

Please be aware to bring cash for any purchases on the property as there are no ATM’s on the farm and cards will not be accepted.

Showers

There are limited shower options on site, available on a first come, first serve basis. Other than that you are welcome to jump in the nearby river. Make sure you play it safe if you choose the river option as it has a strong current, and is very cold.

Emotional support

We have an emotional support team that is here to support you throughout the festival. Tantra has the power to unlock profound emotions and illuminate the deepest corners of our beings. As we delve into some of these transformative practices, the body may reveal remnants of past experiences, including traumas we may not have been aware of. This can be scary, confusing, or a myriad of other feelings.

Our trauma informed team understands this complexity, and will offer a nurturing space for you and any challenges that may arise. With deep respect for your vulnerability, we are here to create the safest space possible where you will be met with compassion and empathy. All feelings are welcome here.

Other Important Things

This is a Tantra Festival so you may want to consider packing more then just Yoga Pants… especially for our Dance Celebration on Saturday night!

This will be a Camera free event for the most part. We will have an official photographer at times. You are welcome to take photos in your camp with friends but due to the nature of the event we will like a lot of privacy.

This is a Tantra Festival and we want it to be a sacred and safe place for all, which means we allow no exchange of explicit sexual activity beyond kissing and caressing in public areas. Enjoy lovemaking in the privacy of your own love den and use safe sex practices.

There is no wifi provided on site, and cell phone service can be spotty in places. We invite you to explore having a tech free weekend or use cellphones minimally to enjoy the beauty of nature and in person connection.

Please note this is a drug and alcohol free event.
