It was through Tantra that I became revitalized […]
So You Say You Want a Revolution: Introduction to the New Edition of Urban Tantra
As I began the first draft of the first edition of Urban Tantra, I wrote, “I want a revolution!” Not only did I want a revolution in cultural attitudes about sexuality and spirituality, I wanted a revolution in Tantra: the only spiritual practice I’d ever found that welcomed sexuality as a path to spiritual freedom.
