Tantra is often thought of in American culture as an exotic and mysterious sexual practice from a foreign land. Or something hippies do. We wanted to get down to the bottom of this ancient mystery, so we invited tantra expert Kamali Minter into the studio to enlighten us on what this practice entails for both men and women. And somehow all of our tits came out in the process.
In this episode I was joined by fellow tantra instructor Kamali Minter and had the profound honor and privilege of co-creating a verbal vision board for a harmonious tantric future. It was a blessing to have her share wisdom and offer guidance that can help humanity peacefully and lovingly integrate and overcome the shadows of race and gender politics. We also discuss what personal, cultural, and ecological “tantra makeovers” might look like as divine feminine consciousness continually expands internally and externally. Please visit her website at: http://www.spaceforlove.com/ About Kamali: Kamali’s passionate about transformation through art, movement, breath, and sound. She fuses her knowledge of Tantra, Taoism, Yoga, Relationship and filmmaking, to create opportunities for us to experience the Love that we are. She is a trained Tantra teacher and Reiki Master, and has been certified through Tao-Tantric Arts and Embody Tantra. She did her 200 YTT with Shivakali Yoga. And is learning more classical lineage practice from Nita Rubio. Other influences include Alison Armstrong, Marianne Williamson, Kathleen Dayvolt, and many more. Her approach to healing is about making ancient wisdom relevant to our modern lives by guiding practices that have been used for thousands of years to reach enlightened states, in ways that are accessible and fun.

Kamali was having a hard time connecting with her partner in bed. She wasn't getting the intimacy, connection and depth she wanted, and she wasn't able to find a way through it. She heard a tantra teacher speak about how tantra embraces everything, including sexuality, and something unlocked in Kamali - she knew this was something she wanted to pursue. She started with a home study course, learning the tantric meditations and practicing them at home on her own. She started feeling the changes in her body and she knew she wanted more. She and her partner learned practices they did together, and were able to break through their personal blocks to connect more deeply to themselves and to each other. Life got challenging and Kamali came to see all the strengths she had gained from these practices: the strength to stay with her challenging emotions, the courage to become more of her authentic self, and the trust that nothing wrong was happening. After learning and living these tantric practices, she is now stepping to the role of tantra teacher herself, holding space for others to return to the love inside themselves. She continues to use her tantric practices to support herself as she grows and expands to take on this new, more authentic life.
