Tibetan 5 Element Tantra is...

Healing & Transformation

A system of healing & transformation anchored in the Pre-Vedic roots of Tantra tracing back over 17,000 years, incorporating the Indigenous roots of authentic tantra –Animism and Shamanism.

Liberation from Suffering

Tibetan 5 Element Tantra leads to liberation from all forms of suffering by healing and transforming emotional, psychic, spiritual, and sexual wounds.

The 4 Pillars of Healing

Incorporates meditation, movement, connection, and pleasure, drawing upon the regenerative power of sexual energy to fuel and enrich the process of healing and transformation.

The origins of Tibetan 5 Element Tantra pre-date the Vedas, pre-date the Caste system in India, and pre-date the rule of Patriarchy.

Our Mission...

THE INSTITUTE OF AUTHENTIC TANTRA EDUCATION IS AN ANTI-RACIST ORGANIZATION COMMITTED TO DISMANTLING INTERNALIZED RACIAL OPPRESSION

We are dedicated to providing ethical and effective Tantric instruction to ALL individuals and communities who are seeking a healthy, balanced, and sacred approach to sexuality and holistic healing.

Unlike many styles of yoga and meditation, Tibetan 5 Element Tantra embraces human sexuality and its innate potential for healing, when it is honored as sacred and practiced with awareness, compassion, and loving-kindness. In accordance with our lineage and root Lama, we dedicate the merit of our authentic tantra practice to the benefit and welfare of all sentient beings.
