Tantra Talks – Episode 4 with Devi Ward Erickson & Dr. Chris EricksonIf you’ve been anywhere near spiritual Instagram lately, you’ve probably seen it:
Aubrey Marcus, polyamory backlash, and hot takes galore.The ongoing conversation around non-monogamy has made one thing very clear: People are craving more nuance around love, sex, and spiritual growth.
Which is exactly why this episode of Tantra Talks couldn’t have come at a better time. In Episode 4, we dive into one of the biggest myths in the Western Tantra world:
Do you have to be polyamorous to practice Tantra?
Short answer: No.
But we go way deeper than that.Here’s what we unpack:- Why Tantra is not inherently polyamorous or monogamous
- The real danger of “poly-f*ckery” masquerading as spiritual awakening
- How non-monogamy can become another form of trauma reenactment
- Why intentional monogamy can actually be a radical spiritual strategy
- How to make relationship choices from presence—not pressure or performance
- Our personal journeys navigating polyamory, swinging, and monogamy in a Tantric container
The monogamy vs non-monogamy debate isn’t just a spicy trend—it’s a deeper call to examine your intention, nervous system, and patterns when it comes to how you love and connect.
While the internet is yelling over who's "doing it right," we’re offering a quieter invitation:
What does your body, your heart, and your spirit need right now?
Because whether it’s one partner or many, Tantra is a practice of liberation—not lifestyle branding.
