TantricShaman's Personal Masseur Interview

Last Updated: Jan 17, 2020

- I honor 'soulful sharing' and I like to write, that's one reason I've been keeping my blog "Neo-Tantric Leather Shamanism [for Men who Love or Fear Ass]" since 2011, and if you have a copy of the PrEPostEROS publication, you will find my work there in print. Writing allows me to communicate the experiences, research materials, anecdotes and stories about the path I have taken, one I'm deeply committed to, and I'm proud and grateful for it.

- On-going training and being open to new ideas and different ways of thinking to approach life are necessary for anyone, I think. I for instance, have been training and learning all things Shamanic from the Shift Network, at the NY Open Center, Omega, One Spirit Alliance and others. It is in becoming conscious of what is not known where the power of transformation lies.

- Living in New York City is a luxury and a responsibility. I have always been drawn to pushing my own limits and looking beyond the horizon. NYC's the kind of place where such things are possible, but it demands constant work, a close relationship to one's passions and a sense of silliness, for the city is crazier than one thinks. So, my 'spare' time is full: I treasure my 'alone' time chilling on my couch reading or daydreaming looking up at the sky, and when I'm feeling creative, you will find me shooting, editing or composing visual works, recording podcasts or going to concerts. I love NYC because of its cultural generosity. This is the ideal city for a Rock n' Roll kid like myself interested in Experimental work and different art forms. Needless to say, I love going to museums. And while my intellectual passion is in Cinema, I love the Opera as well as Classical music and Jazz, performance art and theater. Enough reasons to love living in NYC.

- Revitalized, relaxed but looking forward to rest of the day (or evening), and optimistic about life.

- I love to travel and certainly looking to get out more. If you're not in NYC, please tell me where you'd want me to go meet you and take care of you.

Having said that, when it comes to sessions themselves, because of the environment I like to create, first-time sessions are best carried at my space. I can come to you on a case-by-case scenario.

- I will never forget my first client. Even though massage in itself is not the reason of my practice, I did get into tantric healing work through massage. What was most memorable about that first experience was the realization that focused attention on someone else, via touch and intention, has healing capabilities for the client AND the practitioner. My own healing process regarding issues with male to male dynamics started with that first session back in 2010.
