Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast focuses on various themes within Tantra, with specific topics like semen retention, intimacy enhancement, and the spiritual aspects of sexual practices; for instance, Episode 1 addresses how semen retention can transform intimacy and enhance emotional connections by separating orgasm from ejaculation.
Welcome to Tantra Talks, the ONLY tantra podcast rooted in lineage and served with sass.
Our tantric insight is raw, real, and at times, raunchy! If you can navigate the minefield of F-bombs in every episode, you might just learn a thing or two! Our insight and advice are based on almost two decades of dedicated Vajrayana Tantra practice, and… we live with our Root Lama, Lama Tashi Dundrup of the Shangpa Kagyu Lineage.
Join us every Thursday as Devi and Dr. Chris Erickson answer your questions about Tantra and holistic sexual healing, from the lens of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism and Tibetan 5 Element Tantra. Too legit to quit!
For the FINAL Episode of Tantra Talks, we are spilling the tea….
The Institute of Authentic Tantra Education has changed our DBA to The Institute of Holistic Sexology. Here’s Why…
IATE was established in 2017 to lay the groundwork for the Authentic Tantra Certification Program, to become the first government-accredited school for Tantra, and the first and only government-accredited Tantra Certification Program.
And guess what? We did it! From 2018-2019, the Authentic Tantra Certification Program curriculum and the IATE underwent an extensive, year-long government review, which determined us to be a valid vocational training institution, offering legitimate credentials in the field of Holistic Wellness and Natural Healing.
In fact, our Classification of Instructional Programming (CIP) Code is 51.3301 – Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, and graduates of our certification programs function under the National Occupational Code (NOC Code) 3232 – Practitioners of Natural Healing.
This is an amazing accomplishment that has yet to be achieved by any other Tantra or Holistic Sexology Institution.
IATE has offered the 12-month curriculum for Phase 2 of the Authentic Tantra Certification Program since 2016, and our last class of 2026 will complete a decade of providing this transformational tantra healing curriculum as a government-recognized, vocational training credential.
The IATE has been a trailblazer in the field of sexual wellness.
The ATCP was the FIRST Tantra Certification program to offer:
- First year-long Tantra Certification Program
- First Multi-year Tantra Certification Training
- Government-accredited credentials
- Additional sexology certification with the American Board of Sexology (ABS)
- ASSECT approved credits
And now, we are thrilled to announce a new pathway of certification in the field of Holistic Sexual Wellness.
On October 1st, 2025, registration will open for the world’s first—and still only—government-accredited Holistic Sexology Certification, which is also pending submission for AASECT accreditation.”
This program offers government-reviewed and approved education and training for sex educators, coaches, and healers, enabling them to achieve essential core knowledge credits to become AASECT-certified sexuality counselors and ABS-certified Holistic and/or Clinical Sexologists.
Authentic Tantra is a path of evolution and transformation. After a decade of offering the most highly accredited and cutting-edge Tantra Certification training program in the world, we are excited and delighted to share our growth and evolution with you in any way that is congruent with our deeply held values, ethical views, integrity, and alignment with our spiritual practice.
