An Initiation Into Your Own Aliveness. Not Just a Workshop at a Festival.
A Remembrance of Your Original Frequency of Bliss!
Experiences that wake the body, expand the heart,
and dissolve the trance of numbness.
​
From Neo Tantra Teacher and Sexual Liberation Coach, Lona.
Perfect for Festivals
I create experiences where people don’t just learn new skills. They cross thresholds. My workshops blend Tantric embodiment, sensuality, somatic experiences, emotional honesty, and community connection to bring students back to the parts of themselves that have been long asleep.
​
People leave my sessions with a clarity they can feel in their bodies. Not conceptual understanding but lived truth. I guide them into the edges of their comfort with enough containment that they discover how liberating it feels to say yes to their own aliveness.
​
My teaching is built for festival environments where people arrive hungry for connection, expression, and real moments of growth, and leave with more than they ever bargained for. Plus, students leave with free guided audio practices so they can go deeper long after the festival ends.
Signature Workshops from Lona Teaches Bliss
Sensual Embodiment
A movement-based awakening for those operating from the neck up. Through breath, movement, sound, guided exploration, and energy students rediscover the pleasure and clarity of their body sensations and awaken their fully alive body. Done fully clothed. To be in the senses is to be sensual! Sensual and sexual are not the same.
​
By the end they’ll feel:
-
A shift from numbness to sensation
-
Rebuilt safety inside pleasure
-
Expression of aliveness without self-abandonment
The perfect workshop for festivals! People come hungry to connect with others, and this workshop will have them meeting at least 30 new people in ways that are deep, silly, profound, and playful. They get to see beyond just the physical person in front of them and connect to their souls.
​
By the end they’ll feel:
-
A childlike joy and love
-
Deep gratitude for the souls in the community
-
Cracked open into vulnerability, trust, and belonging
Connection
Jam
Open Your
Heart
A somatic journey into vulnerability, emotional expansion, and the courageous art of being fully seen. This is where students step past protection and discover the strength beneath their tenderness. We’ll open not only the emotional heart, but the physical, energetic, and soul levels, too.
​
By the end they’ll feel:
-
Their hearts open beyond the armor they came with
-
Love built through embodied presence in community
-
Connection without collapsing or performing
This is the art of manifesting with pleasure! It’s a ritual experience that blends sensual exploration (with clothes on), intention, and embodied power. Students awaken the raw voltage of their sexual energy and learn how to direct it towards creation, magnetism, and empowerment.
​
By the end they’ll feel:
-
The visceral power of their desire
-
Channeled erotic energy into creation
-
Experience the power of manifesting with their pleasure
PLUS, a bonus signature workshop for EDGY festivals...
Sex Magick
What Facilitates Aliveness in My Workshops?
Students wake up from numbness because the intentional arc of the experience leads them into a moment where sensation and clarity break through. It isn’t one technique. It’s how the journey builds, sustains, and completes. Breath, pleasure, vulnerability, and emotional truth converge until the noise drops and they can feel their original frequency of bliss again. Suddenly they can feel the present moment inside their bodies with unmistakable clarity. It’s a breakthrough born from the entire container skillfully prepared by my many years of experience leading.
What My Presence Feels Like
My presence is grounded in a way that feels like a full permission slip. It’s alive in a way that calls them into their own aliveness. And it’s liberating in a way that demonstrates what’s possible when performance falls away and truth reigns.
​
I don’t teach from a pedestal. I teach from the exact state I invite them into: embodied, grounded, present, and alive. That congruence creates trust. That trust opens them up to receive the message. That opening makes growth inevitable even in a short workshop at a busy festival!

Testimonials
She's clearly in her element - Val
“I had the pleasure of attending two of Lona’s workshops and was blown away! I walked away with new tools to develop intimacy not only with partners, but also with myself. As someone who has struggled with both, this is extremely impactful for me! Not only is the content great, Lona herself is an amazing facilitator. She held the space beautifully, and made sure everyone understood, but what really stood out was her complete embodiment of her role. She’s clearly in her element!” – Val
