In this deeply honest and grounded conversation, Aaron and Shashi explore what is really happening for men beneath the surface. We speak openly about the quiet suffering so many men carry, the pressure to perform, provide, and stay strong, and the devastating reality that male suicide rates continue to rise worldwide. At the heart of this conversation is a truth that is rarely spoken to men directly: Self-love is not weakness.Self-love is power. Together, we explore: Why so many men feel disconnected from their bodies, emotions, and sense of purpose How men are conditioned to abandon themselves in order to survive socially The hidden cost of suppressing vulnerability, grief, and emotional truth Why traditional models of masculinity are failing men, not strengthening them How Tantra offers men a practical, embodied pathway back to wholeness Aaron shares how Tantra for men is not about performance or technique, but about learning how to be present inside your own body, to feel without collapsing, and to meet yourself with compassion rather than judgment. This conversation is for: Men who feel exhausted, numb, or disconnected but cannot name why Women who want to understand the inner world of men more deeply Facilitators, coaches, and space holders working with masculine energy Anyone who cares about the mental, emotional, and relational health of men This is not a polished or theoretical discussion.It is real, grounded, and deeply human. Because when men learn how to love themselves, not conceptually but somatically and truthfully, everything changes: their relationships, their vitality, their capacity to stay alive, present, and engaged with life. A necessary conversation.A compassionate invitation.A return to embodied masculinity.

Most men have been put off by dark masculinity that in unconscious...the abuse and domination of our world. As a result, many good men develop the "Nice Guy" persona. But what if this is at the expense of their sexuality and power? How can a man with heart activate his dark masculine without being "toxic" or harmful? (and the irony is, most women WANT this) Shashi Solluna chats with men's facilitator Ori Dahan.

Why do so many people feel unable to be sexually expressive? Freya Mc Farlane, Tantra Facilitator and ex-midwife, talks about the inhibitions she witnessed at numerous births, and how this is linked to sexual expression.

Do we currently have a porn problem? According to Tyson Adam's estimation, this problem is biggest than we estimate, and is causing havoc to men's sexuality and couple's relationships, as well as being a huge loss of life force energy, Join Shashi Solluna in this interview to explore the issue and how to move out of the grips of an addiction, and towards buukding a healthier sexuality.

It is a common phenomenon that many women do not enjoy sex as much as they would like to. Many suffer from numbness or pain, and do not know why, nor how to heal themselves. As a result, there are women who just endure intimacy as a way to connect with their partner, and others who just avoid it. Laura Walter is an expert in this topic, because she herself used to suffer from numbness and pain. Through Tao Tantra tools she began to heal and turn around her situation. Now she coaches many women to heal the same issues, and reclaim their right to pleasure. Join Shashi Solluna and Laura Walter in a conversation about this issue and the steps required to move through it. If you want to go on a deeper journey with Laura, she is offering her guidance and tools on a 4 week live course: https://livetantraacademy.com/p/from-pain-to-pleasure

This episode is exploring the field of Conscious BDSM, renamed BDSI (bondage, domination, submission and impact) by Jonathan Beger. This field of exploration is becoming increasingly popular, even in mainstream society, and yet still the depths of which are often misunderstood or indeed misused. Several facilitators have been creating a new field, they call Tantric BDSM/BDSI, which works with trauma healing, shadow work, energy awareness and cultivating higher states of consciousness. I chat with Jonathan to find out more about it. Find Jonathan at www.consensual.eu.

https://live-tantra-academy.teachable.com/p/tantric-massage-for-couples Tantric Massage is a way for couples to enter into deep intimacy and union together, as well as a way to totally transform their love life. I chat with Maria Sky about how a couple can use Tantric Massage, what it is, the difference between healing and pleasure, the triggers that can arise and how they can enter this world together.

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 boundaries between facilitators and students (most schools do not allow this, but a few believe it should be allowed). Today I talk to Buster Radvik, who is both a Tantra facilitator and a professional psychotherapist, and we explore the question: can we heal trauma with Tantra?

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 then, is that the way we channel energy can be a choice. A choice that is open to everyone, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation or preference. I chat with Kamela Love about Queer Tantra, and the experiences available. In this conversation, we explore how it is for same-sex couples to explore Tantra. But also beyond even that...Tantric practices can give us all the opportunity to step out of the box. We chat about the new term: "pansexual" and how many individuals find that there is a meeting point beyond identification...an experience of letting sexual energy flow that is not limited by who we think we are or who we think we are relating with. ***** Kamela Love (you'll find her on facebook as Kamela Peace) is a lifelong student of mysticism & Sufism, a devoted sacred sexuality practitioner and EFT/tapping practitioner, a Senior Love Coach, a skilled facilitator of sex-positive workshops and play spaces, a community harmonizer through family mediation and restorative justice work… she/they particularly love curating spaces for the queer community! Kamela is on a mission to open hearts, bodies, and minds deeply to healing powers within sexual expression and to empowerment through aligning our sexual energy with the Sacred. www.TransformIntoLove.com

Margot Anand was very much at the beginnings of Neo Tantra, as she was asked to teacher Tantra by the mystic Osho. She has been a huge part of the development of the modern Tantra scene. In this interview she chats about the changes she has seen in this scene and the future of Tantra in the world. Hear her juicy stories and an incredible perspective on the evolution of Neo Tantra.

We are drawn to relating so that we can enjoy giving and receiving...the very foundation of what makes a relationship. And yet, these are areas that we are not taught about in our education, and indeed there is a lot of confusion about it all. One of the leading voices on this topic is Betty Martin, who created the Wheel of Consent. This is a practice and a model for exploring the intricacies of true giving receiving, both as the "doer" and being "done to". Once we start to takes these pieces a apart, only then can we begin to understand all of these dynamics. In this interview, you will learn: * Why doing and giving are not synonymous * Why being done to and receiving are not synonymous * Understand more about how to take pleasure * Why receiving is so challenging * How to learn what you really desire * How to activate your senses to really take pleasure from touch * Why even long term couples can benefit from consent and agreements Find out more about Betty here: https://bettymartin.org/ and her book here: https://wheelofconsentbook.com/

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 secret and not revealed until the practitioner has attained a certain level of personal achievement. Today Shashi Solluna chats with Jampa Stewart, who has dived deep into Tibetan Tantra as well as the Tao Tantric Arts. The intention is to explore what are the difference and similarities of the different paths. https://valleyspiritcoop.com/jampa-stewart/

What is the connection between kundalini rising, the energy body, energetic sex and astral sex?

Dating is something that is constantly evolving. It used to be picking her up and taking her for dinner. Over the last decades we have seen online dating simply soar in popularity, and speed dating and other such live events to facilitate connections.  But what about in the world of Tantra? Surely a field so focused on sex, love and connection should be full of dating options. And how do facilitators merge tantric practices together with dating? Plus, with recent lockdowns, how can Tantra teach us to create the experiences that fulfill us? Today I chat with Eleanor Rutman who runs her own Sensual Speed Dating night in Switzerland. She is a trained tantra facilitator and merges tantra with dating! (Plus, she tells me, had a lot of personal experience with dating in her time!).

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? Ignore the feedback and label it all as projection? Crumple in guilt and give up all trance of masculinity? How is a man to date in a post-#metoo era? Can a man still approach a woman and ask her for a drink without being the "toxic masculine"? Is it actually safe for men to try dating as they used to? What does the world of Tantra and Men's work have to offer men struggling to find their way in current times? I chat with Paal Christian Buntz, creator of the Wildman Project, to find out what men are going through and what ways they can move forward. We chat about #metoo, boundaries, tantra and polyamory, porn addiction and relationships. Want more?
