Welcome to The Sanctuary of Ananda!
Founded by Catherine Wood in 2006, The Sanctuary of Ananda is a peaceful retreat located in the foothills of Western Australia. Our mission is to empower individuals and couples to embrace their true selves through the transformative practice of Tantra.
What is Tantra?
Tantra is an ancient practice that blends sexuality with spirituality, helping you create deeper connections with yourself and your partner. It’s not just about physical pleasure but about experiencing life in its fullest form—spiritually, emotionally, and physically.
Why Tantra?
Whether you're looking to reignite passion, explore your sexuality, or enhance intimacy, Tantra offers a holistic approach to relationships and personal growth. It’s inclusive and transformative for everyone, no matter your experience or background.
Join us and rediscover the sacredness of intimacy through Tantra. Your journey to deeper connection begins here.
