Primordial is held by a circle, guides, ritualists, apprentices, and builders, who were each taken by this work and stayed to carry it. The school brings together what usually gets kept apart, eros and death, earth and spirit, the body and the old sciences of the soul, and works them as one, on real land, over years.
Some of us came through the esoteric and initiatory lineages. Some came through the body, the nervous system, the life between two people. No one here teaches what they have not lived, and the circle keeps growing.
Carries the initiatory and esoteric stream: the Trans-Himalayan teaching, the medicine, and the deep work of eros and death. PhD in social psychology, and a decade of close work with individuals, couples, and groups.
atilla.life →Guide, facilitator, and writer at the threshold of soul, sex, and death.
For more than a decade, I’ve held individuals, couples, and communities in the rooms where love stops being polite, where shame, grief, eros, and power finally have room to move, and what’s ready to die can compost into new life. Most of what I do is permission: to stop performing, and let the hidden thing finally come into the room.
The work asks for range, and I’ve trained across it: attachment repair, parts and shadow work, somatic experiencing, sacred sexuality, grief tending, and a long apprenticeship to death. When the truth in the room gets hard, I don’t look away. You leave more able to stay, in the hard conversation, in your own body, in the love that’s actually available to you, in the grief you’ve been outrunning. Not fixed. More here.
Before any of this, I lived in the other world: a PhD in social psychology, years spent designing large-scale systems for human flourishing, work measured in data and defended in print. The rigor never left me. It turned toward something closer to the bone.
PhD in Social Psychology. Tantra, kink, medicine & dance.
ISTA, AVATARA, Highden. Co-founder of Dance Meets Tantra and of Emergence Brotherhood, an initiatory men’s community.
I remember that I was born, and that I will die. Between those two facts, I’m devoted to helping us live and love as fully as a single life will hold.
Carries the somatic and relational heart of the work: the body, the nervous system, and the bond between two people. She holds the couples’ path of ’Till Death and keeps the school rooted in the matter of real life.

We are convening a circle of mentors and lineage elders behind the school: teachers from the Trans-Himalayan, Bwiti, and Mesoamerican streams and beyond. Each month one of them sits for a public conversation. Their counsel carries real weight here, including the standing invitation to correct our course.
