Desire, Fear & Taboo
A live 7-week online experience exploring sexuality, embodiment, self-trust, and liberation from shame.
starting 2 september 2026
Desire, Fear & Taboo is facilitated by Valentina Leo and Swami Rahasya, two experienced Tantra teachers who bring together decades of embodied practice, spiritual study, and a shared passion for helping people develop a healthier relationship with their bodies, sexuality, and desires.
Drawing from the wisdom traditions of Tantra, embodied sexuality, and lived experience, they create a learning environment that is nurturing, accessible, and deeply transformative. Their teaching balances profound spiritual insight with humour, compassion, curiosity, and practical integration.
You are not necessarily going to like what you see here. But if you are willing to have an honest look at yourself as you read this, your honesty will begin to set you free.
