Overview:
I explore how Neo-Tantra merges ancient wisdom with modern psychology. Reflecting on my 20 years in Tantra, I describe how this modern approach evolved from the teachings of pioneers like Osho and Margot Anand. I emphasize that while classical Tantra is rooted in ancient rituals, Neo-Tantra introduces embodied, body-centered practices that address trauma and liberate our erotic energy—especially resonant within our community.

Neo-Tantra brings together ancient wisdom and modern psychology. Over my 20 years in Tantra, I’ve observed that many of us begin our journey with this modern form of Tantra, developed from the 60s through the 90s. I see Osho as the grandfather of Neo-Tantra, and pioneers like Margot Anand helped create frameworks that merge the ancient with the contemporary.
Tantra emerged from both human awareness work and advances in psychotherapy. Over the last decade, I’ve witnessed transformative work around understanding trauma—work that has made our practice both safer and more profound. While classical Tantra has its roots in ancient rituals, I believe Neo-Tantra fills an essential gap by integrating the body through practices that awaken deep states of self-knowledge. This is especially important for our community, where sexual energy is a vital force for liberation and joy.
