The world of modern Tantra has changed. This is a new tantric education experience, that allows tantric practitioners worldwide to meet hundreds, and soon, thousands of teachers, friends, men and women who are equally committed to deepening their knowledge, experience and living of Tantra.
For the first time ever, there now exists a loving, accepting, exploratory, fun, edgy and bold place where anybody curious about, or on the Tantric path can meet, learn, grow, deepen, play and love more fully. The doors were opened last week. We made it free to walk in and try it out. If you've been waiting for the ultimate Tantra learning community, you will be blown away by the depth and spiritual beauty of the people who have already joined.
And it is also an unprecedented learning community, where you will have the opportunity to learn from the most talented and passionate Tantra teachers in the world -- at whatever level of intensity you want.
OneTantra aims to be the largest, most inclusive and varied Tantra community in the world. We look forward to live retreats -- on land and at sea! The founders expect Tantra to go mainstream over the next few years, as Yoga and Tai Chi has. OneTantra will be the vanguard of this next spiritual and sexual revolution -- and you are at the vanguard, as a founding member, of OneTantra.

A New Vision for Spiritual Interactivity
Written by Moses Ma, co-founder of OneTantra

My day job is being a technology futurist, and over the years, I've developed a keen sense for detecting significant new technologies on the horizon. Using this sense, I was able to predict the emerging trend of Internet games, and founded a company that developed the world's first commercially successful Internet computer game, Spectre for the Macintosh. After this, I joined a thinktank which predicted the commercialization of the Internet, and I helped invent the concept of Internet e-markets and to propel the use of XML for business. And most recently, I've detected a new communications technology that is as powerful as the Internet, but this technology is one for the bedroom... tantra.
Tantra is technology for people, not for packets and pixels, and it's not only for the bedroom, but rather, its true nature is to serve as a discipline for developing loving kindness, awareness, presence and to better see the intrinsic joy of life.
Last week, we brought together the technologies of tantra and the Internet, by hosting our first interactive video-enabled tele-intensive, using some really nifty new technology. Our brave cybernauts, joining us on our inaugural journey into cyberspace, participated in a workshop taught by Charles Muir, the father of modern tantra and founder of the Source School of Tantra Yoga. Students and practitioners from all over the world joined and interacted with Charles and his teaching partner Leah Alchin. Here are some comments from some of our inaugural participants:
The other night I participated in a new kind of tele-workshop on OneTantra... and the 21st century is here. The seworkshops are going to blow your mind. This software allows you to see the presenter on video, watch a slide presentation, listen to audio and watch video clips. Definitely check out the workshops offered at OneTantra. This is am amazing opportunity to participate in the cutting edge, where technology meets consciousness. - Crystal M., Arizona
"I just attended a tele-intensive last night and was blown away by what the future of teaching looks like. I can say I learned a lot last night, not just about the beautiful topic but also about how revolutionary this webinar/teleseminar technology is! The One Tantra community is at the leading edge of a profound "edge"-ucation revolution." - Claire R., California
"I just can't get over how cool it is to have an enlightening, interactive tele-intensive while I sit at my computer, in my pajamas if I choose, eating meatloaf and mashed potatoes, at a fraction of the cost of what it would be to travel to a workshop. That is HUGE for me! And the caliber of the training is top notch!" - Robin T., Arizona
And here's a video from Charles Muir sharing the teacher's side of the tele-intensive experience:
I believe that this was one small step for our cybernauts, but actually one giant leap for tantra. What's more, I predict that this is the first rumblings of the next major trend for planet Earth - the spiritualization of the Internet. The Internet has already begun to foster the development of emotionally connective applications, that begin with social networks, and will evolve into a Big Bang of new and exciting interpersonal experiences and social applications. What's more, with this infusion of Internet technology, "tantric innovation" has accelerated. This week, we hosted Dr. Sasha and Janet Lessin from the School of Tantra on Maui, Hawaii. To demonstrate that tantric innovation is alive and well in Maui, Sasha and Janet actually demonstrated the techniques to produce amrita - or female ejaculation - live, on air, during the tele-intensive. One student remarked, "I've read about amrita, but I could never have learned this much without actually having seen this."
And next week, the renowned Master Mantak Chia will teach Taoist techniques for meditation and sexual alchemy in a special OneTantra tele-intensive, and as part of this, he will perform the first transmission of Healing Tao energy over the Internet. Master Chia will be followed by another 22 nationally recognized tantra instructors during the balance of our 2009 semester... who knows what they'll come up with!
Join us soon to experience the future of spiritual interactivity!

Talking Tantra?
Written by Moses Ma
Tuesday, 07 July 2009 09:54
Whatever interest you have, around tantra, relationships, shamanism, ecstatic poetry, tantric art, kundalini awakening, tantric travel, raw and slow food, bodywork and somatic healing, skydancing, non-violent communication, fitness, sexual healing, meditation, ecstatic dance, polyamory, life coaching, firewalking, taoism, tai chi or qigong... from amrita to zen... you'll find people to chat about it here.
All in an environment where respect is foremost, and play and creativity is honored.
Here's a glimpse of some of the discussions currently underway...
From The Discussion Group: Shamanic Tantra: "How I find Tantra and Shamanism so similar is in the expansive energy that is possible. In both practices we go between worlds, into the ecstatic, inducing trance in order to access transformational and healing states of being. We can be connected into those mythical and archetypal energies as we embody god/goddess, master realms, power animals, guides, past and future self that can be tools and tickets for our return to the one true essence, the ascended self." - A.S.
From The Discussion Group Osho, Reich, and the Sexual Revolution: "Some of you may be familiar with the work of Dr. Wilheim Reich, a brilliant protégé of Sigmund Freud and major architect of the Sexual Revolution, whose work is the basis for most mind/body therapies in use today. Most people have forgotten that Reich's theories and practices for enhancing orgasmic potency and sexual freedom were PART of a larger vision for returning humankind to a more natural state. While Reich's theories have not yet been the subject of scientific research, if Reich is correct, those of you who've been working on your own sexual liberation for years now, should be prime candidates for leading the next wave of change. If this is a conversation that interests you, please join me in continuing it here! It is the subject of one of the books I'm eager to write." - D.T.A.
From The Discussion Group, Being: "There's no 'doing' to get to BEing. So minding the breath isn't about technique or form -its about following the breath and letting it lead the awareness to deeper states of "stillness" and presence -I feel it similarly to the way a pendulum swings closer to 'center' -with each breath I am more firmly rooted in stillness and presence, deeper connection to all that is and more expanded in my feeling and awareness. BEing feels as if I'm rooted deep in the center of the earth." - S.S.
You can deepen your connections and expertise in so many areas. The creativity of this community is already blowing us away! Here is a small sampling of the scores of powerful and intimate discussions now underway inside our private social network:
