The Red Temple is an invitation for women who feel the call to return to themselves.
It is for those who long to slow down, to listen more deeply to the wisdom of their bodies, and to explore the feminine beyond the roles, expectations, and stories that life has placed upon them. Whether you are taking your first steps into embodied feminine work or have been walking this path for years, you are welcome.
Together, we create a space where vulnerability is honored, curiosity is encouraged, and every woman is invited to meet herself with compassion. Through movement, meditation, ritual, sharing, and conscious exploration, the Red Temple offers an opportunity to reconnect with your own rhythm and discover the strength, softness, and authenticity that already lives within you.
The Red Temple is not about becoming someone else or reaching a particular outcome. It is an experiential journey that asks for your presence, openness, and willingness to explore yourself with honesty.
If you are looking for a conventional wellness retreat, prefer to remain an observer, or are not ready to engage with practices that invite emotional openness and embodied exploration, this may not be the right time.
Some practices may include optional partner exercises, conscious touch, or invitations to explore your relationship with the body. Participation is always your choice. Your boundaries are respected, your voice matters, and consent is the foundation of every experience.
Tantra is a path of love that offers new and conscious ways to experience sexuality and sensuality. When one becomes more sensitive and energies begin to flow freely within, a profound reconnection to the unique and exquisite feminine can flourish.
Tantra liberates, it empowers and roots one into the body, into mother earth, into this life. Tantra is weaving energies, it allows deep acceptance and awakens our alchemical heart.
During the Red Temple, women are invited to find new relationships with boundaries and communication which seed real respect, selflove and relaxation.
These tantric ways naturally open one for deconditioning of the mind and heart as well as the feminine organs and unleashes an untamed, sensual and erotic intelligence that allows women to bloom from within.
This is often experienced as a remembering of something long forgotten, a profound alignment and a coming home.
A nourishing space of sisterhood is arising in the The Red Temple. A circle of women supporting each other, exploring together tantric exercises, meditations and movement as well as healing rituals.
This creates a space with the quality of a sacred temple in which profound transformation can arise. This space is not so much about analyzing oneself, solving problems or trying to get rid of something.
It is rather entering a mystic realm where all is welcome, felt and expressed through the body. It is a call to own and celebrate womanhood, rise out of collective female conditioning and remember the essence of the feminine.
Every woman’s journey is unique, but many participants leave the Red Temple with:
Rather than offering a fixed outcome, the Red Temple creates a safe space to explore, remember, and celebrate your unique expression of womanhood.
The Red Temple is more than a workshop—it’s an experience held within an intentional community devoted to conscious living.
Surrounded by tropical forest and supported by meditation, nourishing vegetarian meals, music, and community, participants are invited to slow down and reconnect with themselves in a natural environment free from the distractions of everyday life.
For more than 25 years, PachaMama has welcomed people from around the world seeking authentic transformation through community, presence, and direct experience. The Red Temple offers a unique opportunity to explore the feminine within a circle of women who support one another with openness, compassion, and respect.

Choose to participate in one or both levels to deepen your journey in stages.
The 2nd level of the Red Temple is for women who participated in the first level and want to go deeper into the exploration of womanhood and the path of the Feminine Arts. Sound, movement and sacred ritual, creativity & expression are part of this Temple Experience together.
It opens the space for deeper embodiment of the feminine principles as well as opening up to personal gifts of creativity to this world.
Women have been gathering for ages supporting each other in a save space of togetherness, a space of simply being, healing and of wisdom beyond words.
From this space a respectful exploration of boundaries, conscious touch and healing massage is offered to meet the innermost womanhood, beauty and dignity of the body. In the tantric tradition each woman is seen as the embodiment of sensuality and Shakti, the life force dwelling within. Women are admired for their power to initiate others while the feminine love organs are honored as a healing place and residence of the goddess.
Part of the feminine principle is the ability to give birth, to create and express that Shakti power. Sexual and erotic energy is pure creative life force and women’s wombs are like magical doorways to the great mother, the dark void from where everything is born.
Embodying this wisdom the Red Temple is opening a dream time space, where one is feeling into visions and dreams and weaving them into the tapestry of one’s life. It is an invitation to own one’s desire, spread one’s wings into the wide sky of possibilities and creativity that wants to manifest through the heart of the feminine.
Sound, movement and ritual, expression, sharing, deep inner journeying and fun are part of this adventure together.
This workshop invites nakedness for certain structures. However each participant is encouraged to respect her boundaries and choose her level of nudity at any moment.
Raaji facilitates a beautiful workshop that allows you to experience healing both personally and ancestrally, to connect deeper to the inner wisdom and power of the divine feminine and to support other women in a nurturing safe space.
I highly recommend this workshop!”

The Red Temple Workshop was profound and empowering. Although there was fascinating knowledge imparted, for me it was less about learning something new and more about being guided to uncover wisdom that I already had, but had not been conscious of. It was like finding a voice that had been muted and letting it sing. I am deeply grateful for the ways this work continues to bless my experience, and am eager for more.

It’s a place to come home for me. Nourishing my body, my soul, awakening my senses and finding comfort in my feminine side. Im becoming and remembering the softer version of myself. And at the same time strengthening my boundaries. Coming in circle with only women really is special and healing. Allowing the sensual side to flow, the mystery to unfold. Raaji holds this work in such a truthful, gently, fun, loving, caring and inspiring way. I wish every woman would have the opportunity to experience this work, it’s really life changing and so important.

No. The Red Temple Level 1 welcomes women from all walks of life. Whether this is your first experience with embodiment, Tantra, or women’s work, or you’ve been exploring these practices for years, you’ll be guided with care and invited to participate at your own pace.
To attend Level 2 you must complete level 1.
The Red Temple is an exploration of the feminine through presence, embodiment, creativity, and conscious awareness. While sensuality may be explored as a natural aspect of being fully alive, the workshop is not focused on sexual activity or performance. Instead, it offers a space to cultivate a deeper relationship with yourself and your body.
No. Every invitation is yours to accept or decline. You’re encouraged to listen to your own boundaries and honour what feels true for you. Consent, choice, and mutual respect are at the heart of every practice.
Some exercises may involve conscious, respectful touch between participants. Every practice is introduced with clear guidance, and consent is always requested and respected. You are free to choose your level of participation.
Absolutely. Many women arrive on their own. The Red Temple is intentionally designed to foster a sense of trust, connection, and sisterhood, allowing meaningful relationships to develop naturally throughout the week.
Each day weaves together meditation, movement, ritual, guided practices, group sharing, and time for rest and integration. There is space to be in nature, enjoy nourishing meals, and simply slow down, allowing the experience to unfold at its own rhythm.
Bring comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely, a journal, a reusable water bottle, and anything that helps you feel at ease.
The Red Temple can be a deeply moving experience.

We’re happy to help you determine whether this is the right time for your journey.
