When most people hear the word “Tantra,” they often think of mysticism, exotic rituals, or sexuality. But Tantra is far more than that. This talk offers a fresh perspective reframing Tantra as an ancient, embodied system of self-awareness, ethical discipline, and human empowerment.
Exploring its roots beyond mainstream religious traditions, the presentation highlights how Tantra reflects the values of Indigenous Humanism: lived experience, relational ethics, critical thinking, and a deep respect for life. Far from superstition or spectacle, Tantra is revealed as a transformative path for navigating human challenges, with clarity, presence, and integrity.
