The Tantra Punk podcast is a forum that unites ancient arts and sciences of sacred sexuality with the righteous rage and fierce truth of the modern punk rock movement. With a mix of, news, interviews, instructional programs, guided meditations, music, and more we will be: reclaiming our sexual dignity, increasing our pleasure, accessing transcendent altered states of ecstatic bliss, dissolving egoic and materialist values into ecological and humanitarian values, and becoming leaders of our own inner transformational revolutions.
