Authentic Tantra® is medicine! Our lineage-based, trauma-informed tantric healing methods work holistically to awaken, heal and integrate body, mind, spirit, and sex. Our methods are rooted in Tibetan 5 Element Tantra from the Shangpa Kagyu Tradition. We are the ONLY government-accredited school for Tantric Healing IN THE WORLD!!!
We teach and practice Tantra with an anti-racist and social justice lens for the benefit and welfare of all sentient beings 🙂
We approach Tantra with the understanding that “the body is Buddha”, and that all knowledge, wisdom, and power are contained within the human form. The tantric methods we offer work directly with the autonomic nervous system to address, heal and repair the root causes of suffering while restoring the inherent wisdom of the body.
Tantra was created by the People of the Global Majority. We are committed to creating curricula, programs, and policies that reflect our deeply held values of anti-racism and social justice.
True, authentic tantric teachings will result in better health and wellness of body, mind, spirit, AND sex. Healthy, balanced sexual expression is an integral aspect of being a healthy, whole, and liberated human being!
Our programs are classified as instruction in “oriental medicine” and graduates are considered “Practitioners of Natural Healing” by the Canadian government.
IATE was founded by bi-racial Black woman, Devi Ward Erickson and is committed to dismantling internalized racial oppression.
Tantra is medicine and support is required for healing. We offer an unparalelled level of in-depth, on-on-one support for all of our Tantra coaching programs.

This is a bliss-filled way of life that transforms you!
“When I think about a transformative sexually healing and educational experience rooted in Spirit/Divine unlike anything I’ve ever seen before, I think about my beloved Authentic Tantra family. This is more than a program, this is a bliss-filled way of life that transforms you/me/we/us and offers healing for a lifetime! Trust the process and take the leap, your best life will catch you!”
Simply put, this program works!
“It healed somatic wounds. It resolved lifelong chronic pain. It helped me communicate and connect more deeply in my intimate relationship with my girlfriend. I learned what it means to connect to my own sexuality in order to engage more deeply with others. I was able to implement and expand the pleasures in my own life including and beyond the bedroom. Through the ancient practice of semen retention I gained more energy, focus, and drive. Work is better! And my play life is AWESOME!"
I am so grateful to be apart of IATE!
"The space created in this program for inclusivity and safety for me to unpack and heal has been the medicine my soul needed to take my sexual energy to the next level of empowerment. The retreat was a game-changer in teaching me to embody the practice of Authentic Tantra. I am excited and honored to share this practice."
The most extraordinary experience of my life.
"The wisdom and growth this program gifts to you is not only life changing, but is forever. I have learned to be more present, aware, and empowered throughout life, from the simplest day-to-day activities to the deepest sexual and emotional experiences with both myself and others."
This medicine works!
“The extensive training is absolutely rewarding and detailed with such clarity and understanding. An understanding of being able to incorporate powerful life changing practices into my own life and then take this modality and share with others so they have a chance of honoring themselves with love, awareness, and the ability to feel empowered by their Sexuality and embrace it."
Far more than I could have ever imagined
“On this journey, I have found peace, support, family, friendship, sisterhood, mentorship, health, and a much deeper purpose. I wish I could rewind and do all 6 days of retreat over again because I have never experienced anything like what I experienced during our embodiment retreat in any other program. My heart is so full and open. What a medicine."
