Aaron Ullrey attended Michigan State University where he studied English, Religious Studies, and Education, intending to be a High School teacher. Accepted to University of California Santa Barbara, he moved to the west coast in September of 2001. There he studied under David Gordon White on Hindu polytheism and magic, and also the history of Buddhist Tantra (Vesna Wallace) and Tibetan Buddhism (Jose Cabezon). He studied Sanskrit, Hindi, and Tibetan at UCSB but also at UW Madison via the South Asian Summer Language Institute. In 2006 he filed his MA thesis, “The Power Before the Thrown: The Role of the Purohita in Indian literature,” and he also advanced to doctoral candidacy (the same week!). His dissertation research and field work were funded by Vanderbilt University, Fulbright-Hayes, and the American Institute of Indian Studies, enabling several long stays in South and Southeast Asia, including Nepal, India, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. Throughout graduate school Ullrey taught many at the University of California Santa Barbara and several summer courses with TIP at Duke. In 2016 he filed his PhD dissertation, Grim Grimoires: Pragmatic Rituals in the Magic Tantras. He may be reached through his website www.ihsociety.com
Michael Perin Wogenburg is the protector of an esoteric spiritual teaching from the left-hand path of Tantra. Spirituality, art, the mystical, and the occult have always been a fascination for Michael, even from his childhood in Villach, Austria. He received his “Forbidden Yoga” after an agonizing journey that started with his wife’s death in 1998. His grief drove him to search the whole world for insight into the human mind. Finally, he found it in secret India. Michael inherited a hidden teaching from an ancient line of Tantric gurus. His Forbidden Yoga is cryptic and arcane. He only reveals it to select initiates. The centerpiece of Michael’s practice is the Sensual Liberation Retreat. SLR combines elements of performance theatre, psychoanalysis, animist rituals, and Tantra for deep, psycho-spiritual healing.

Today, while Maya proclaims no specific discipline or lineage, she sees the essence of Tantra within our present societal transformations.
