WHAT IS THIS program ABOUT?

The Foundational Training of the Ascension of Intimacy School of Tantra

The Ascension of Intimacy Apprenticeship is a transformational path for those who feel called to explore Tantra deeply, not only as a philosophy, but as a way of living, relating, and leading.

This program is part of the Ascension of Intimacy School of Tantra, a lineage devoted to restoring the missing intelligence of intimacy in modern life.

In a world where people are taught how to succeed professionally but rarely how to cultivate conscious relationships, polarity, and sacred partnership, Tantra offers a powerful path of embodiment and relational wisdom.

Through this Apprenticeship, students enter a journey of personal transformation, relational mastery, and sacred leadership.

Tantric Apprenticeship is a path of deep self-exploration and devotion to embodied truth.

It invites us to release inherited cultural programming about intimacy, relationships, sexuality, and power and replace it with a conscious and life-affirming paradigm rooted in embodiment, polarity, and relational intelligence.

This Apprenticeship offers a trauma-informed Tantric path that honors both deep healing and profound awakening.

Through this work, you will:

• heal and deepen your relationship with your body, reconnecting with its innate wisdom and intelligence

• address and transform sexual, relational, and emotional wounds through a trauma-informed Tantric approach

• integrate sexuality and spirituality as natural expressions of embodied consciousness

• reclaim pleasure, desire, and sensual aliveness as sacred forces of life

• understand the energetic dynamics of feminine and masculine polarity in intimate relationships

• explore new models of partnership, including Healing Partnership and Sacred Union

• develop the capacity to communicate truthfully, navigate intimacy consciously, and cultivate relational intelligence

The Apprenticeship is both experiential and educational, weaving together ancient Tantric teachings with modern psychological insight, embodiment practices, intimacy coaching, and leadership development.

Through this process, students cultivate not only personal transformation but the capacity to embody and transmit the intelligence of intimacy in their relationships, communities, and professional work.

The Ascension of Intimacy Apprenticeship unfolds through two stages of development.

 
 
 

Level 1. Personal Tantra Track

(6 Months)

The Personal Tantra Track is a six-month immersion devoted to embodied Tantra, relational intelligence, and inner transformation.

This stage of the Apprenticeship focuses on cultivating a deep relationship with the body, healing relational and sexual patterns, and learning the foundational principles of Tantra as a path of embodied consciousness.

It is designed for individuals who feel called to explore intimacy, polarity, and conscious partnership in their own lives while building a strong personal foundation in Tantric practice.

Our approach draws from ancient Tantric wisdom traditions while integrating insights from modern psychology, somatic work, and trauma-informed methodologies.

The teachings emphasize universal principles of embodiment and relational intelligence, making this path accessible to individuals from any spiritual, cultural, or religious background.

Just as practices like yoga can be integrated into many spiritual traditions, the Tantric principles explored in this Apprenticeship are offered as tools for deeper self-awareness, healing, and conscious living.

During this six-month journey, you will:

• learn the foundational principles and philosophy of Tantra as a path of embodied spirituality

• heal and deepen your relationship with your body, reconnecting with its innate wisdom and intelligence

• cultivate Sacred Union within through integration of inner feminine and masculine energies

• explore trauma-informed Tantric practices aligned with modern somatic therapy and psychological insight

• address and transform sexual, relational, emotional, and cultural conditioning around intimacy

• understand the deeper patterns behind past relationships and intimacy struggles

• develop relational awareness, authentic communication, and emotional presence

• experience Tantric embodiment practices within a supportive and conscious community

Many participants join the Personal Tantra Track for their own transformation — to deepen their relationship with the body, heal relational patterns, and cultivate greater intimacy and polarity in their lives.

For some, this six-month immersion becomes a powerful foundation that transforms their personal relationships and self-awareness.

Others discover during the journey that they feel called to share this work with others.

Students who begin with the Personal Tantra Track have the opportunity to upgrade into the Professional Tantric Leadership and Certification Track either during the program or after completing the six-month experience.

For those who already know that Tantric relational work is part of their deeper calling, it is also possible to enroll directly in the full Apprenticeship path, committing to both the Personal Tantra immersion and the Professional Certification journey from the beginning.

This option offers a streamlined path for individuals who feel ready to dedicate themselves fully to the study, embodiment, and transmission of this work.

 

Level 2. Professional Tantra Facilitator & Intimacy Coaching Certification (12-Month Advanced Apprenticeship)

For those who feel called to share this work with others, the Apprenticeship continues into the Professional Tantra Facilitator & Intimacy Coaching Certification Track.

This advanced stage prepares students to become Tantric practitioners, facilitators, and intimacy coaches capable of guiding individuals, couples, and groups through transformational intimacy work.

Students develop both facilitation mastery, coaching skills, and leadership capacity, learning how to transmit Tantric principles in a safe, ethical, and powerful way.

Students learn how to:

• facilitate transformational sessions for individuals and couples

• guide clients through relational healing, polarity dynamics, and intimacy challenges

• lead Tantric embodiment practices, bodywork, and energetic exercises in both private and group settings

• hold safe and trauma-informed spaces for emotional, sexual, and relational exploration

• develop professional intimacy coaching skills and relational guidance methodology

• design transformational programs and facilitate Tantric workshops, salons, and retreats

• build a sustainable Tantric coaching or facilitation practice

  • embody energetic leadership and relational presence as a practitioner
    • build their own Tantric Intimacy coaching business
    • participate in the leadership and expansion of the Ascension of Intimacy School

Additional areas of advanced study include:

• Tantric Wealth Consciousness and Sacred Economy

• Sustainable Intimacy and navigating common relationship challenges

• Ethics, boundaries, and the shadow of the modern coaching industry

• trauma-informed intimacy facilitation

• Tantric teaching methodology and facilitation skills

  • Mycelial Leadership and the paradigm of Sacred Union leadership

Graduates of the Professional Track may go on to:

• offer private sessions and coaching

• guide couples and individuals through relational transformation

• facilitate Tantric salons, retreats, and workshops

• collaborate within the expanding ecosystem of the Ascension of Intimacy School of Tantra

The complete Apprenticeship Curriculum includes a detailed progression of modules, experiential practices, and mentorship support.

Full curriculum details are shared with prospective apprentices during the application process.

 

Two Pathways into the Apprenticeship

The Ascension of Intimacy Apprenticeship offers two ways to enter the training, depending on the depth of commitment you feel called to.

Option 1. Personal Tantra Track (6 Months)

A six-month immersive journey devoted to embodied Tantra, relational intelligence, and personal transformation.

Participants who complete this track receive a Level 1 Certification in Personal Tantric Practice from the Ascension of Intimacy School of Tantra.

This path is ideal for those who wish to deepen their own experience of Tantra, intimacy, and conscious partnership.

Option 2. Full Apprenticeship Path (Level 1 + Level 2)

For those who already feel called to share this work professionally, the full Apprenticeship includes both stages of the training:

Level 1. Personal Tantra Track (6 months)
Level 2. Professional Tantra Facilitator & Intimacy Coaching Certification (additional 6 months)

Students who complete the full path receive:

Level 1 Certification: Personal Tantra Practice
Level 2 Certification: Professional Tantra Facilitator & Intimacy Coaching

Participants may either:

• begin with the Personal Tantra Track and later upgrade to the Professional Certification, or
• enroll directly in the Full Apprenticeship Path from the beginning.

 
 
 
 

Certification Retreats

Each stage of the Apprenticeship concludes with an in-person Certification Retreat.

These immersive gatherings are a central part of the training and serve as a rite of passage where apprentices integrate their learning, embody the practices in community, and step into the next stage of their path.

During these retreats, students experience a deeper level of Tantric embodiment, relational exploration, and leadership practice within a supportive field created by the Apprenticeship community.

The retreats provide opportunities for hands-on skill development and experiential learning, including:

• in-person energetic practices and embodiment work
• Tantric bodywork demonstrations and supervised hands-on practice
• relational exercises and polarity work in live interaction
• role-play and facilitation practice with individuals and couples
• group leadership and community facilitation skills
• learning how to design and lead transformational workshops and retreats
• ceremony, integration processes, and community-building practices

These in-person experiences allow apprentices to deepen their confidence, refine their facilitation abilities, and embody the teachings in a real relational field.

Completion of the retreat is required to receive certification for each level of the program.

Level 1 Certification Retreat

(Personal Tantra Track)

At the end of the six-month Personal Tantra Track, apprentices gather for a three-day immersion devoted to embodiment, integration, and community.

This retreat offers the opportunity to deepen Tantric practices in a live setting, strengthen relational awareness, and celebrate the transformation that has unfolded throughout the program.

Participants who complete this retreat receive:

Level 1 Certification in Personal Tantric Practice

Retreat Investment: $1500

Level 2 Certification Retreat

(Professional Tantra Facilitator & Intimacy Coaching Certification)

Students completing the full Apprenticeship path participate in a second retreat dedicated to professional integration and leadership embodiment.

This retreat focuses on facilitation practice, energetic leadership, and the transition from personal transformation to guiding others in relational and Tantric work.

Participants engage in supervised facilitation exercises, leadership development, and advanced embodiment practices designed to support their emergence as practitioners.

Graduates of this retreat receive:

Professional Certification as a Tantra Facilitator & Intimacy Coach

Retreat Investment: $2000

Retreat Logistics

Certification retreats are held in carefully selected retreat venues that support focused learning, embodiment practices, and community connection.

Retreat locations are chosen based on the size and needs of each cohort and will be shared with participants well in advance.

Retreat Investment Includes:

• accommodation in a retreat venue (typically shared or basic lodging)
• dedicated retreat space for group training and experiential practices
• three daily meals during the retreat
• all retreat facilitation, training sessions, and group exercises
• certification evaluation and completion process

These retreats are designed to provide a focused immersive environment where apprentices can deepen their learning, practice facilitation skills, and integrate the teachings in the community.

Possible upgrades may include:

• upgraded accommodation options (such as private rooms when available)
• additional one-on-one sessions, consultations, or bodywork
• optional healing or integration experiences

Details about retreat locations, accommodation options, and available upgrades will be shared with apprentices well in advance of each retreat.

*Travel to and from the retreat location is not included.

 

The Power of Gathering in Person

While much of the Apprenticeship journey unfolds through guided study and online sessions, the in-person retreats offer a unique dimension of transformation that cannot be replicated virtually.

Gathering in a shared physical space allows apprentices to experience the deeper field of Tantric practice through embodied interaction, energetic presence, and authentic relational exploration. These moments often become some of the most meaningful and memorable parts of the journey, where insights deepen, connections strengthen, and the teachings come alive through direct experience.

Many apprentices describe the retreats as the moment when the community truly forms and the principles of Tantra become lived reality.

Community & Lineage

The Ascension of Intimacy Apprenticeship is not only a training program.
It is the beginning of a living community and evolving lineage.

The Ascension of Intimacy School of Tantra was founded with the intention of restoring the missing intelligence of intimacy in modern life in relationships, leadership, sexuality, and community.

This Apprenticeship gathers individuals who feel called to explore intimacy not only as a personal journey, but as a force that shapes culture, relationships, and the future of human connection.

A Living Community

Students enter a supportive field of apprentices who are walking a similar path of personal growth, relational exploration, and conscious leadership.

Throughout the program, participants build meaningful connections through:

• group practice sessions
• communication and relational exercises
• retreats and in-person gatherings
• ongoing dialogue and peer support

Many apprentices form lasting friendships, collaborations, and partnerships that continue long after the program ends.

The Lineage of the Work

The Ascension of Intimacy School of Tantra integrates multiple streams of wisdom:

• classical Tantric philosophy and embodiment practices
• trauma-informed somatic and psychological approaches
• relational intelligence and conscious partnership frameworks
• modern leadership and community-building principles

Rather than replicating any single tradition, this school carries a living synthesis that evolves through practice, experience, and the contributions of the community itself.

Apprentices Become Leaders

Graduates of the Professional Track may continue participating in the ecosystem of the school through:

• facilitating Tantric workshops
• supporting retreats and training programs
• coaching individuals and couples
• contributing to the growth of the community

Some apprentices develop their own practices and businesses while remaining connected to the broader network of the school.

A Shared Vision

The deeper intention of this work is not only personal healing, but the emergence of a new relational paradigm.

When individuals learn to embody intimacy, truth, polarity, and conscious leadership, the impact naturally extends outward into relationships, communities, and culture.

The Apprenticeship is one step in building a community of people devoted to living and transmitting these values in the world.

 

Who This Apprenticeship Is For

The Ascension of Intimacy Apprenticeship is designed for individuals who feel a genuine calling to explore Tantra, intimacy, and relational intelligence as a path of personal transformation and conscious living.

This program is for people who:

• feel drawn to embodied spirituality and the integration of sexuality, intimacy, and consciousness
• are willing to engage in honest self-exploration and personal responsibility
• want to heal and transform patterns in relationships, intimacy, and emotional life
• feel curious about the dynamics of feminine and masculine polarity
• value depth, authenticity, and meaningful human connection
• are interested in developing relational awareness and emotional intelligence
• wish to participate in a supportive community of people devoted to growth and conscious living

Some participants join primarily for personal transformation, while others feel called to eventually guide others in this work as facilitators, coaches, or leaders within their communities.

Both paths are welcome.

Who This Apprenticeship Is Not For

This program is not designed for individuals who are looking for quick fixes, purely intellectual learning, or casual exploration of Tantra.

The Apprenticeship may not be a good fit for those who:

• are unwilling to engage in personal reflection or emotional growth
• expect Tantra to be purely sexual entertainment or performance
• are not ready to take responsibility for their own healing and development
• seek validation, status, or spiritual identity rather than genuine transformation
• are unable to respect boundaries, consent, and ethical relational practices

The work we do in this program requires maturity, self-responsibility, and respect for the vulnerability of others.

Participants are expected to approach the work with sincerity and integrity.

Disclaimer:

Because this work touches deep emotional and relational territories, participants should be capable of self-responsibility. This program is not a substitute for medical or psychological treatment.

 
 

How to Join the Apprenticeship

Enrollment into the Ascension of Intimacy Apprenticeship happens through a personal conversation.

“Lana’s process required me to peel layers of behaviors, patterns, emotions, and desires to understand myself much better. I’ve had to get out of my comfort zone and explore areas we don’t usually think about. Along the way she’s given me the tools to communicate and interact better with men and people in general. Men’s learning and thinking process is very different from women, and that’s one huge thing I was doing wrong!”
— -Kathryn Rustad, Salt Lake City, Utah

All these changes make me feel so proud, strong and happy.”
