Emily: Welcome Honeybee! To start off, could you tell us what the practice of tantra is really about at its core?
Honeybee: There’s a huge misconception that tantra is only about sex, but it’s actually a beautiful pathway to self-realization that begins with waking up your senses. At its core, it’s a spiritual awakening through your body that helps you find love in the most ordinary moments and reconnect with your true self. You’ll learn to activate your pleasure potential — discovering what truly delights you — as we open your body’s energy centers one by one, from the foundational root to the enlightening crown.
Think of this as your gateway to liberation. You can finally peel away the old habits and patterns that cling to you like stubborn barnacles, revealing the immense freedom that’s already inside. Having been a student and teacher of this art for over 25 years, my goal is to show you how to flow with your energy and live a life that feels vibrant, freer, and expansive.
Emily: Is this something we should do with a partner, or can we go through this journey solo?
Honeybee: This course is honestly for everyone, whether you’re single or in a relationship. Because tantra is really about your relationship with life itself, it helps you show up better with partners, friends, and even strangers. It builds a profound self-awareness that allows you to see the "beloved" in every soul you meet. As for experience, it doesn't matter if you’re a total beginner or an advanced student; every time you meet yourself in these practices, the experience is brand new.
Emily: What’s the biggest aha moment you hope we walk away with from your course?
Honeybee: It’s my hope that you gain deeper insights into your being. I want you to nurture your curiosity and dive into the realms of what brings you immense pleasure, all while cultivating the courage to vocalize your needs. My prayer is that this course acts as a catalyst for a profound exploration of your true essence, leaving you more liberated and freer.
This course offers you a glimpse into the transformative potential of tantra within your daily life. You have the freedom to pause, start anew, or revisit practices as frequently as you wish, knowing this space is always here to support you. The practices aren't laid out in a strict linear manner, but they intricately build upon one another. With each practice and each passing day, expect to feel a buoyant lightness and an expanding sense of yourself.
Emily: You’ve been teaching this for over 25 years. Can you share how tantra personally transformed your own life?
Honeybee: My journey began in the aftermath of childhood sexual trauma. In my quest for emancipation, I explored an array of spiritual practices. Yet, a persistent question echoed within me: How could I embody these sacred principles into the tapestry of my everyday life? More profoundly, how could I attain a sense of liberation within my body, relationships, and existence? Tantra was the answer I was seeking. This is the genesis of the course: to impart the wisdom of integrating these ancient practices into your daily lives.
This course isn't just for you — it's for me too. Within these practices, there's an endless journey of depth to explore. I've carefully woven a systematic teaching path for you to delve deeper into your essence and journey toward greater freedom, fluidity, and liberation within every fleeting moment. Living tantra is a fusion of sacred principles, neuroscientific insights, and the dance of movement, both ancient and unrestrained.
