You're Invited To Present 

Dear Presenter,

You're warmly invited to share your wisdom at our third annual summit, Tantra for Turbulent Times, which will be held virtually July 25–27, 2026.

Over the past two years, this summit has grown into something we're deeply proud of — drawing more than 3,700 practitioners from around the world, representing some of the most serious and committed students of non-dual and contemplative traditions. Past presenters have included world renowned teachers including: Christopher Wallis, Judith Blackstone, Kavitha Chinnaiyan, Chandra Easton, Uma Dinsmore-Tuli, Ben Williams, and Laura Plumb and many more.

This year, we're bringing the full weight of classical Tantra to bear on this moment we're all living through.

The Audience You'll Be Speaking To:

The attendees will be mature spiritual practitioners (Buddhist, Advaita, post-traditional nondual background) who are smart, capable, often leaders in some capacity, and who are watching what's happening in the world right now and asking: "How do I show up in these turbulent times?"

They have a practice. They're committed. AND they're looking at the upheaval, the revelations, the intensity of this moment and wondering: "What does my practice have to do with THIS?"

They're feeling unsure how to meet the craziness of our times- they don't want to bypass, but they also don’t want to participate in the divisiveness.

They might sense their current framework doesn't quite address what's happening now—or they're simply curious about what Tantra specifically offers for navigating turbulent times.

And importantly, they feel that their practice—which used to feel meaningful—now feels irrelevant to the scale of what's happening in the world.

This year's summit will have two tracks. A teaching track, where scholars and teachers directly address why and how classical Tantra is a perfect option for our times. And a practice track drawing specifically from classical and modern adaptations of classical tantric practices  — dharanas that cultivate the precise capacities this moment is asking of us.

We're looking for teachers and scholars whose work is directly rooted in classical Tantra — Trika, Kaula, Śākta, or Śaiva lineages — or whose work is substantively informed by the non-dual Śaiva view. This is a carefully curated gathering. The depth of the teaching matters, and so does the integrity of the lineage.

If you feel called to be part of this conversation, I would be honored to have you. Please reach out to me directly at [email protected] .
