In this conversation, Shashi Solluna sits down with Bibi Brzozka to explore one of the biggest misunderstandings about Tantra and lovemaking.

Tantra is not about following a fixed script of how sex should look. Instead, it is a...

Both classical tantra and neo tantra have always been known as being controversial paths, diving shamelessly into shadows such as desire, lust and longing. Recently there has been a growing awareness around trauma, and participants are often looking to Tantra as a place to heal traumas. Others report that the Tantra field re-traumatized them with its confrontational practices, or questionable boun...

Tantra is sometimes seen as a pretty heteronormative field, with its teachings on masculine and feminine energy. But once you start to dive into it, it becomes clear that these terms are about how energy flows, and is not limited to the physical body or gender. In fact, we could rename masculine and feminine energy as "Yang" and "Yin", or as penetrative energy and receptive energy. What we can see...

Tibetan Tantra is probably the path least known by Westerners. Most of us in the modern Western world follow NeoTantra and dive into Taoist Sexual Arts and some classical Indian Tantra. This might be partly due to the fact that Tibetan Tantra is much a monastic path, practised largely by monks. This may be one of the reasons it is not so seen in Western culture. Also many of the teachings are secr...

Dating is something that is constantly evolving. It used to be picking her up and taking her for dinner.

How is a man to find a healthy way to be in his masculine in today's world? When we hear so much about the "toxic masculine", the backlash of the #metoo movement paints a very dismal picture of men and masculine energy. So what is a man to do?

Power dynamics can be one of the biggest causes of conflict and harm in a relationship. Commonly, women give their power away to men in various ways, although this can also be the other way around. In this podcast, I talk with Sonja Shradha Devi about unhealthy power dynamics that result in a woman devaluing her own experience. This might be a personal relationship but is also seen in student-guru...

Something that I feel we all need to learn about if we want to have harmonious relationships is trauma healing.

It affects our emotions, our nervous system our ability to relate with others...and this all comes out...

With his experience of Tantra, Taoist Sexual Arts and...
