P.S. Sending you a warm hello from Tantra Festival Switzerland, where I had the joy of teaching three workshops – beautiful, deep, gentle, and playful experiences.

What a beautiful surprise and success for this collective project !

Here is the translation of the article released in French :

«What’s new?

Lalita Academy: a space for body and soul

In Lutry, a bold project is coming to life: Lalita Academy, a new space dedicated to conscious and sensual arts, to the awakening of body and holistic well-being. Conceived as a school of personal and collective transformation, this academy will bring together creativity, spirituality, and education in a place that is both modern and deeply human.

Its founder, Leela Stephanie, a holistic therapist, artist, and facilitator, has envisioned this sanctuary as a safe space where one can explore aspects often considered taboo: sacred sensuality, intimacy, body awareness, ritual dance, and inner wisdom. Through workshops, ceremonies, circles, individual and collective guidance, Lalita Academy invites everyone to reconnect with their true essence, with the heart, the body, and the soul.

The project carries a strong social vision: transforming our relationship to body and sexuality by moving away from performance and dogma, and instead opening to art, presence, and sensory experience. It’s about creating a space for a new kind of integrative education, blending tantric traditions, somatic practices, and contemporary psychology.

To bring this vision to life, a crowdfunding campaign is currently running on the WeMakeIt platform. In just a few weeks, nearly 90% of the goal has already been reached, a sign of the strong enthusiasm surrounding this truly pioneering initiative in French-speaking Switzerland.»

If you’re someone who adores my spark of madness and has the capacity to read one of these bursts of joy — keep going!

If you’re more traditional, or of the opinion «Oh, let’s not overdo it now,» or simply don’t have the capacity — it’s probably best to stop here. ;)

⛲️ Fountain () Woman ⛲️

Between myth and reality, the fountain woman attracts, arouses, and disturbs.

A symbol of youth, abundance, the feminine, fluidity, and life itself.

And what if, within each of us, there was a fountain woman?

Yes, you read me right — including within masculine bodies.

I’m not about to write a thesis on the subject here — rather, I wish to tease, splash, and insinuate.

My news?!?

I’ve found the fountain of my dreams — a stunning piece that deeply embodies the sacred feminine in her abundance, surrender, and purification.

💦 Why a fountain?

Water is life.

A woman holding a jar-fountain (symbol of goddesses such as Venus, Aphrodite, and many others, but also of the Temperance card in the Tarot) would be, for me, a powerful visual and energetic anchor in the Lalita space.

A fountain to welcome, nourish, inspire and celebrate beauty, sensuality, and our connection to our inner source.

This fountain costs €1,399.

I am looking for someone who wishes to contribute further to the creation of this pioneering place — in a way that is symbolic, powerful, detached yet fully embodied, in fluidity and matter, like water itself.

✨ This is an optional / next level call: If you feel the call to sponsor this fountain — in full or in large part — I warmly invite you to contact me directly per e-mail or WA message.

Your gesture will be honored with deep gratitude and may be inscribed in the space as a living symbol of your support. From my heart, thank you already for every step, every gesture, and every vibration that makes this dream possible.

With love and gratitude,

Leela Stephanie

With all the changes and upheavals flowing through my life these past days, it was only yesterday that I was finally able to…

🔥 Discover who you are, dear contributors to this project! Wow!

What joy, excitement, surprise, and emotion to see your names and to realize just how much each one of you is making a difference.

I have received contributions ranging from 15 to 999 CHF!!!

From people I know well, dear ones to my heart — whether family, friends, participants of my workshops, members of my community, colleagues — and also… people I’ve never met and even anonymous donors!

This moves me deeply, because yes — the reality of being an independent woman dedicating herself body and soul to this project is not always easy. Your support is, and has been, indispensable to me. For that, I hold immense appreciation and gratitude.

Together, we are bringing the Academy to life.

✨ And the extra surprise… I have just returned from a beautiful and intense stay in Belgium. And… when I opened the door to Lalita Academy, I found it already transformed! 🦋

During my absence, Lauric, with the help of Olivier, moved forward with preparing the space!

The room now has a cloakroom (built from scratch!), curtains (which were quite the logistical challenge ;-p), yoga mats, shelves, and even two small armchairs to welcome you with care and warmth.

I can’t wait to continue this adventure with you… and especially for you to discover Lalita Academy with your own eyes.

Take good care,

With love, Leela Stephanie 💛

P.S. The details of your rewards will arrive with the start of the new season — they are, of course, guaranteed.

A huge thank you for this campaign, which has been — and continues to be — a great success!

I’m currently in Belgium, just a few hours away from officiating a sacred wedding, and honestly, all this energy, your support, and your participation are deeply moving to me.

I’m so excited to continue this adventure with you!

In a few days, I’ll send you a message so you can receive your reward.

I look forward to seeing you at the Lalita Academy on August 24th for the Founding Ritual (www.vivvauthentica.com).

Wishing you a beautiful Lion’s Gate Portal, dear ones.

With love, joy, and passion,

Leela Stephanie

P.S. Here’s a video I just recorded today to celebrate this moment: a song I love — «Step by step, breath by breath» — followed by… a musical improvisation to thank you!

P.S. A little extra bonus dream of mine ✨ To have a water fountain made from local stones and minerals. Not just for beauty and wellness, but to enhance the energetic flow of the space. This dream would cost several thousand francs… If you have ideas, connections, or feel called to contribute, I’d love to hear from you!
