Tantra Talk Part 2

Tantra has a branding problem, and it’s costing a lot of us the exact thing we’re craving in midlife: peace in our bodies, clarity in our desires, and real connection that doesn’t require performing. I’m back with Rosa, founder of the London School of Tantra, to strip the topic down to its roots. Tantra, as Rosa defines it, is a tool for weaving and expanding consciousness, a path of liberation that includes sexuality without being reduced to it.

We talk about how tantra got popularized in the West through neo-tantra, why desire was treated as “bad,” and what changes when you stop shaming your wants. Rosa breaks down key concepts like Shiva and Shakti, kundalini life force energy, and polarity in relationships, with a grounded take that keeps it practical instead of preachy. If libido feels flat, intimacy feels tense, or you’re tired of leaking energy through people-pleasing, this part will hit home.

Then we get into Rosa’s framework: the 12 fundamentals of the human experience. We walk through the base fundamentals that create safety (boundaries, desire, rejection, emotional connection), the core that brings your magnetism back online (authenticity, presence, love, play), and the source tier that expands everything (surrender, intuition, sexuality, energy). You’ll also hear why real change takes work at the subconscious level, the nervous system level, and the behavior level, plus a guided foundation breath you can try today.

If you’re ready to feel more alive, more sovereign, and more you, press play. Subscribe or follow so you don’t miss what’s next, share this with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a five-star rating and review to help more women find the show.

Rosa Maxwell is the founder of the London School of Tantra, the UK’s largest female-founded Tantra school, and a leading voice in the modern Tantra movement

An international facilitator and sex magic expert, Rosa is the creative force behind the school’s visionary approach that unites science, spirituality, and sexuality. With over a decade of experience in psychology, coaching, and embodiment, Rosa bridges ancient wisdom with modern neuroscience to create world-class training for facilitators and profound transformation for her students. Her work helps people regulate the nervous system, awaken erotic energy, and experience true freedom—living, loving, and leading from authenticity and liberation.

When she’s not holding space, Rosa can usually be found with a cacao in hand, dancing barefoot somewhere warm, or dreaming up new ways to make spiritual work more accessible, inclusive, and deeply human.
