What is Tantra?
Tantra is an ancient body of practices and philosophy that chart a path of personal transformation and spiritual attainment. It is sex and body positive, honoring the physical along with the spiritual.
Emerging from the mists of prehistoric South Asia, it has, over the millennia, woven together threads of the highest and most abstract of Vedic wisdom with the magic and earth-based intuitions of tribal shamans.
About Pǎo Shan
Păo Shan is enthusiastically committed to integrating life energies. He spent two and a half years living full-time in a Zen Buddhist Monastery in Michigan, and was lay-ordained as a Sotō Zen Monk in 2021.
The mind-training Păo Shan received throughout his time at the Monastery allowed him to discover a clarity of negotiating with his existence as consciousness, simultaneously experiencing both itself and the mind and sense perceptions of the human vessel it hosts. He discovered his practice also needed to include this innate, human, sensual and erotic life-force energy and joy.
Pǎo's direct connection with Indic (Himalayan) Tantra began in 2020, when he met Swami Ravi Rudra Bharati (formerly Rudolph Ballentine, MD), founder and spiritual leader of Dancing Shiva Tantra Monastery & Healing Center in Black Mountain, NC. Pǎo became a student of Swami Ravi in 2022, and is currently completing a three-year Tantra Teacher's Training Program.
Dancing Shiva Tantra Monastery & Healing Center
Dancing Shiva Tantra Monastery and Healing Center is the home of Pǎo Shan's teacher, Swami Ravi Rudra Bharati. It is nestled in the misty Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, just east of Asheville. Its focus is authentic classic tantra, emphasizing the inner marriage between each person’s inner Shiva (“masculine”) and Shakti (“feminine”).
The Himalayan Tantra Men’s Healing Tribe is an international group of men who are interested in cultivating and exploring erotic energy, understanding the spiritual dimensions of their sexuality, and enjoying connection and camaraderie with other like-minded men. We host daytime, evening, day-long and extended weekend gatherings. Events and sessions are offered both in-person and online. Pǎo is the founder and spiritual guide of the group.
