The Art of Everyday Ecstasy is a transformative personal development program created by Margot Anand and Gopal, based on Margot Anand's bestselling book, The Art of Everyday Ecstasy.
For the first time, a program will deeply explore the techniques behind each of the Seven Tantric Keys presented in the book, which delve into the secret alchemical process of our energy centers.
As a pioneer in this field, Margot Anand’s teachings have inspired generations of readers and practitioners. However, many struggle to integrate what they have learned—or even what they teach—into their daily lives.
This intensive summer retreat invites participants to embark on a journey of personal transformation. By making a heartfelt commitment to living an ecstatic life now and mastering these techniques, participants will enrich all aspects of their lives.
By incorporating these keys into their daily lives, participants will experience firsthand the higher levels of awareness available through these processes. As Margot says, “Ecstasy is a skill we can learn.”

The Greatest Journey:
Waking up to Ecstasy
Waking up to Ecstasy
The journey from energy to Ecstasy, from unconsciousness to awakening, is the most profound journey one can undertake.
✨ When energy flows unobstructed through the body, enhancing our sensory experiences and deepening our connection to life, we experience pleasure.
✨ When pleasure is accepted in trust, it expands our perceptions and transforms into delight.
✨ When delight arises through a mind free of negativity, consciousness awakens in clarity and we discover the lightness of being.
The art of SkyDancing® Tantra teaches that our true nature is revealed not by renouncing the joys and pleasures of ordinary and sensual life, but by immersing ourselves in them with such acute awareness that the bliss of our natural state becomes evident in our own experience. We can find it in our jobs, our homes, our kitchens, our partners, and our bedrooms.

#4 Tantric Key: Unity
WE ARE ONE
When we are present in this moment with open hearts, we begin to appreciate ourselves and welcome each other. We fall in love with life. We become alive, enthusiastic with expanded possibilities. We are flying! We are SkyDancers!
#5 Tantric Key: Creativity
YOU ARE THE CREATOR AND THE CREATION
Our voice, our Truth is the doorway to the wonders of self-manifestation and creativity. Truth is erotic. When we speak our Truth, we become bold, exciting, and attractive. By speaking our truth, we ignite our creativity and authenticity blossoms as our unique flavour.
#6 Tantric Key: Intuition
LOOK WITHIN – YOU ARE THE LIGHT
All our thoughts, visions, and mental creations occur in a boundless space: our Sky Mind. There, the clouds of our moods, thoughts, beliefs, and perceptions come and go like changing weather, but the sky remains, containing all. When our third eye opens, the Witness arises, and we look within to achieve clarity and insight in our life.
#7 Tantric Key: Freedom
GO BEYOND – YOU ARE FREE!
Our bodies, lives, and circumstances do not stand between us and EveryDay Ecstasy. They are the materia prima, the humble vessels of living joy. When we accept this—when we relax, surrender, and let out of our own way—our consciousness expands and rises, and Ecstasy becomes the natural expression of our being, the heartbeat of our Spirit pulsing through us.

Gopal
Gopal is a certified SkyDancing® Tantra teacher. His path starts in Italy, where he develops an interest in Indian philosophy, spirituality, ritual magic, and meditation since his early years.
The meeting with the world of Osho in the 90s offers him the opportunity to grow and transform his skills as a facilitator, bodyworker, and a more complete human being.
After graduating in Shiatsu, OSHO Divine Healing Arts and Meditation with Prashantam in Portugal, he starts working on the connection and the interaction between the Mind and the Body in combination with the Magic tradition.
After moving to Berlin, he lands as a facilitator at Osho Studio, leading regular classes and workshops. The city has inspired him to create Dynamic Tantra, a playful, soulful way to practice Tantra in the urban jungle, successfully welcomed by plenty of participants in many workshops, collaborating with many teachers, including his partner Mallika Paritosh.
He becomes a certified SkyDancing Tantra teacher, after attending a seven-year training at SkyDancing Tantra Institute in Montpellier, France.
The proximity with Margot Anand and the opportunity to work together in several workshops around the world has given him a more complete and integral understanding of SkyDancing Tantra and its practices, but also a closer insight into psychology, bioenergetics, physiology, opening his work to a full spectrum of creative possibilities.

The Venue
Quinta São Jose dos Montes, Tomar, Portugal
Extending over 20 hectares, Quinta de São José dos Montes lies at the heart of the largest maritime pine forest in the Iberian Peninsula. There are stunning views from the porch, from where you can observe various animals in their natural habitat, as well as farm animals, and a glimpse of Castelo do Bode Lake.
The main building is arranged around a courtyard with an outdoor saltwater pool, a cozy lounge, a large dining room and a porch with a barbecue for moments of pure leisure and fun in contact with nature. The Gardens are another magical area, well tended and pruned by Edward Scissors Hands.
You can enjoy the farm’s animals, such as horses, donkey, cattle dogs, cats, and so many birds that fly over the hills and all over the surrounding area.
The Quinta belongs to Tomar, a Templar city, former headquarters of the Order of the Templars, full of artistic and cultural wealth and mysteries. Currently, there are those who claim that Quinta São José dos Montes may hold the key to the Holy Grail, hence the growing demand for mystics and explorers who pass through this space.
THE FOOD
Quinta São José dos Montes serves vegan and some gluten-free dishes, seasoned with care and love. They work with unprocessed, fresh and preferably local food, organically produced in their own gardens.
Bread and jams are home-made and olive oil and honey are supplied locally. The chef prepares balanced menus, providing all the nutrients required for good health in inspiring and creative dishes.
However, in case you are following a special diet, or have any allergies, you are invited to bring your own food and you will have the possibility to store it and prepare it in some areas of the venue.
Just inform the organizers about it and they will tell you the options.
