Sweeny vs Bard S03E10: Western Tantra? - with Thomas Hamelryck Can Tantra flourish in western society that is predominantly Christian and Moslem? What are the historical roots of Tantra? Is Tantra a religion? Is Tantra sexual technique or a spiritual practice? A wide ranging discussion on all things Tantra, from Vajrayana Buddhist tantra to neo Tantra. A boisterous conversation that Alexander says is the best one we have had yet. (And Thomas H assures us that he is pretty indifferent to the 80’s synth band Depeche Mode. You be the judge).
