Host Samantha and co-host Anthony kick off their new series by welcoming their very first guest, Dala, a Tantra facilitator and embodiment coach. They believe we can't really create community without hearing from the community itself and explore why hearing from different teachers matters.

So, who is Dala? He actually leads a team of data scientists in the corporate world, satisfying the analytical part of his brain. But his true passion is sharing transformative practices.

Anthony asks Dala to share his "origin story" with Tantra, and wow, it's a good one. It all started with a chance encounter with a friend from Burning Man. When Dala asked what Tantra was, his friend decided to show him rather than tell him. What Dala witnessed next involved a deep meditative state, a practice called Yab Yum, and an energy that was simultaneously the most sacred and most erotic thing he had ever experienced. It completely blew his decade of yoga and meditation practice out of the water.

For Dala, Tantra became the unifying framework for all the spiritual puzzle pieces he had been collecting from Christianity, Buddhism, and other traditions. He explains how yoga made him calm but a bit disconnected, like a "stone Buddha." Tantra, however, helped him find that same calm center but also feel filled with life, energy, and deep connection.
