Embracing Trauma with Tantra ~ Buster Radvik
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).
