Over 2 days, Carolina Zavala and Dion Pfisterer of the Embodied Awakening Academy will guide you into Tantric teachings and practices to experience love and sensual energy as healing modalities; firstly, with yourself to deepen in inner union, then bringing this state of wholeness to flow into partnered practices.
Join us Saturday 13th & Sunday 14th September 2025 for this special transformative experience.
For men and women, singles and couples, the complete beginner and the experienced Tantrics. It doesn’t matter your age or what stage of life you are at. To anyone who deeply desires to experience a powerful, loving, blissful and intimate relationship with themselves AND with others, this workshop will be a lasting transformative journey!
Carolina is a Feminine Embodiment Teacher and Intimacy Coach who has supported over 18,000 people worldwide to reconnect with their bodies, awaken their full expression, and live with more pleasure, truth, and emotional freedom.
Her work is rooted in her own lived journey, from feeling numb, disconnected and trapped in eating disorders, impostor syndrome and playing small in her career and relationships, to reclaiming her voice, sensuality, and emotional depth through the path of embodiment, tantra, and self-expression.
With over 8 years of experience facilitating international retreats, online programs, and 1:1 mentorship, Carolina weaves together tantra, somatic psychology, meditation, and embodied feminine-masculine integration, with a fiery touch of joy and fun. Her mantra is “transformation gets to be fun AND deep at the same time.
She creates powerful containers where women and men feel safe to unravel patterns, embody their truth, and come home to the fullness of who they are emotionally, erotically, and spiritually.
Now based in Bali and recently initiated into motherhood, she brings a deeper, even more grounded transmission to invite you to reclaim your full spectrum as a human
Dion Pfisterer is a Tantra Teacher, Musician, Ecstatic Dance DJ, and Somatic Bodywork Therapist.
Whilst initially being resistant to the world of Tantra, participating in his first retreat with The Embodied Awakening Academy changed his life drastically, and he never looked back. Soon after his first retreat he participated in 15+ Tantra immersions of various styles as a student, supporting musician, and assistant, before studying to become a Tantra Practitioner. He then co-facilitated 10 sold out ‘Fundamentals of Tantra’ workshops in Bali.
“The embodiment of Tantra was the missing piece for me in my career, life, and relationships. Whilst feeling generally happy and content, I always felt a little stuck and wondered if I could express myself more fully, live more vibrantly, and understand more about my emotions within myself and my relationships. Tantra has helped me deeply understand the power of my own sexuality/life force energy as a Man, and navigate my own emotions. Transforming anger to power, moving through grief, breaking through anxiety to full self-expression, it’s all possible! The tools have also helped heal and really invigorate my connection with my parents, friends and partnerships with communication techniques and a much greater understanding of the Feminine.”
Dion also runs Embodied DJ Trainings, teaching students from around the world how to express themselves through music and create spaces of transformation through dance and movement using the modality of Ecstatic Dance. He’s also passionate about Men’s work, hosting and participating in various Men’s groups, retreats, and guides 1:1 clients.
Dion and Carolina are a devoted couple, parents to a baby girl, and passionate facilitators – integrating Tantra into modern life.
With a shared passion for music, dance, and expressive aliveness, they create warm, safe and grounded spaces for transformation — blending deep presence with joy. Tantra isn’t just a practice — it’s a way of living, loving, and parenting with presence.
Q: How intimate do the practices get?
A: There is no nudity or genital touch any of our events. There will be paired Tantric practices on day 2, which is done in a respectful and tasteful way with people deciding on what level of connection they would like, within the agreed boundaries of the space and of the pair.
Q: I am single and coming on my own. How does the paired practices on Day 2 work, and what can I expect turning up by myself?
A: The first day involves practices where you are learning to become familiar with, and move, sensual & life-forces energy within your own being. On the 2nd day we do partnered practices where you learn different techniques to circulate this energy with another person. It’s a pretty fun process of organically pairing people together over the multiple exercises. For every practice, people get to communicate any fears, boundaries and desires, and your level of participation is completely up to you – boundaries, personal freedom and self-love are taught and honoured first and foremost.
Q: How many couples vs singles do you usually get to this event?
A: On average, for the Fundamentals of Tantra workshop, we usually get 70% single, 30 % couples, and of the singles it’s usually quite even between men and women, with slightly more women attending.
Q: I am single and learning this by myself. How can I implement this in a future relationship?
A: You can easily apply all of the practices from Day 2 to a new relationship, or with someone who hasn’t learned Tantra, by:
