Private teacher of ancient tantra and the archaic mysteries. Ritual initiation retreat in historic Bath near travel links to London and afar. 

My initiation into tantra began with great reluctance. I had an inexplicable aversion to India and her vast, seemingly contradictory, mystical heritage. Although I was surrounded by acquaintances who had a love affair with the culture, I remained unmoved. My interests were partial to the mysteries of pre-classical antiquity, their myths, sacred sites and ecstatic chthonic rituals of the Goddess and her dying-and-rising immortal lover.

And yet, when I discovered, amid my awakening process, the archetypal and cultural parallels in the erotic ritualised deity worship of ancient tantra, I had to surrender my prejudice and resistance. I appreciated the irony — how could I have trusted my kundalini metamorphosis had it been instigated by only a tradition I had envisioned for myself? I would have believed it was wishful thinking at best. Instead, I had to open myself to the study and practice of the unfamiliar, the rejected and the taboo — how fitting for tantra.
