The Institute for Ecstatic Living
The Institute for Ecstatic Living was founded in 1999 by Steve and Lokita Carter, pioneers in Ecstatic Living and Tantra teachers who have taught thousands of people art of ecstatic living and loving. Based just north of the Napa Valley Wine Country in the San Francisco Bay Area, the Institute's mission is to -
- promote ecstatic living and the tantric lifestyle;
- expand our awareness for acceptance, love and appreciation of who we and those around us truly are;
- make the many facets of Tantra available to everyone;
- change the world into a better place.

- taking groups on delicious Tantra Vacations to Costa Rica & Mexico;
- coaching couples in the tranquil and relaxing setting of Amrita Springs, our 47 acres of paradise 2 hrs north of San Francisco where we offer private Tantra Retreats for Couples;
- promoting workshops with other facilitators we consider influential and important in their field, such as Margot Anand.
