Devi Ward Erickson, a respected authority in Tibetan Tantric Buddhism, a certified meditation teacher, and a licensed reiki healer, is the visionary founder of the Institute of Authentic Tantra Education (IATE). IATE stands as the singular government-approved institution providing professional training in Tantra across the globe. With a specialization in Tibetan Five Element Tantric practices for complete sexual healing, Devi embarked on her path to spiritual enlightenment during the early 1990s. By 1999, her spiritual journey led her to embrace the name Devi within the Ishaya order, marking her identity as The Divine Mother Goddess. As a sexologist and Tantra expert, her contributions have graced the pages of Men's Health Magazine and have been acknowledged on CBS, NBC, and Playboy.
