The rope is close, it is soft, it is a ritual and that is the biggest part of it. In the way I teach it, surrender is the first part - Andy Buru

Join us in the Strawbale House at Ängsbacka where we, throughout the summer of 2021, recorded a series of podcasts from the heart. Meet different teachers, musicians, and emblematic Ängsbacka figures sharing about their journeys and walking us home to ourselves.

In this episode, Robin Christoffer Hallsten sits down with Andy Buru to explore Tantra, BDSM, the concept of polarity and rope bondage.

Are you curious what Ängsbacka is all about? Each week we meet with another key-person in the spreading of the Ängsbacka magic.
