Alex Akarta is a trauma-informed, transformational kink practitioner, certified through the Integrative Arts Institute. They hold a BFA in psychology from New York University.

They have held numerous events, workshops, and rituals as an independent facilitator, co-organizer of Decent Exposure, a wellness-focused naturist organization, and as an admin and local event organizer for an International School of Temple Arts (ISTA) graduate community. They are rooted in eastern and western Tantra, sacred- and ecosexuality, as well as esoteric and nondualist metaphysical traditions.

Blending clinical therapy with shamanic practices, sacred eros, and somatic sexology, Alex specializes in themes including:

• Sacred permission for embodiment/release of fear & shame
• Growth through vulnerability
• Healthy relationship with the body
• Inner aspect & shamanic journeying
• Erotic reclamation & soul retrieval

Alex is informed by their personal healing journey as a survivor of past trauma and abuse, and places a great deal of emphasis on generating safety and nervous system regulation. They identify as non-binary and welcome all gender expressions and identities to do powerful healing work in a safer, compassionately-held container, while offering a gentle push into vulnerable realms to support one’s growth edges.
