But, in this time of great let go, of redeeming our
natural state ofinnocence and playfulness, Tantra acquired a “bad reputation”. Of course!!!! But

relationship woes. About 25 years ago, Skydancing Tantra, a path originating from Buddha PadmaSambhava and his consort, Yesche Tsogyal,

one word, our oh so very important personhood?
