Summary

In this episode, David Yoss and I attempt the impossible task of explaining classical Tantra in a single conversation. Along the way, we explore its history, philosophy, ritual practices, and common misconceptions, while highlighting just how vast, nuanced, and often misunderstood the Tantric traditions really are.
