Shakti Shen At age fourteen Shakti Shen began her tantric initiation which led her to study tantra with Osho in India.  Through her richly textured and exotic life she has developed a meditative, ecstatic and intelligent synthesis of the erotic language of the soul. She has initiated both women and men into their ecstatic erotic awakenings eventually opening a tantric temple that served many seeking the sublime blend of spirit and eros.  Shakti developed an approach to tantric erotic massage that synthesizes her deep awareness of the connection between spirituality and sexuality.  Her unique approach goes right to the core of how spirit lives in erotic arousal. Shakti is a musician, dancer, healer and lover of life. She offers her gifts with magic, song, humor, and deep inner awareness.
