MARCH 28/2025.
I am delighted to announce
the newly updated, 25th anniversary edition
of Fire Serpent Tantra
is now accepting
applications for membership.
Why an application process?
Over the 25 years the school was open to anyone, the number of members who were removed for not being compatible was very small: perhaps 1.5%? Even so, it was always uncomfortable.
I am using an application process, to have an opportunity to get to know people a little bit, before they become members.
The application process takes a little time.
1.) Applications will be reviewed weekly.
2.) Successful applicants will get a response with tuition payment instructions.
3.) Successful applicants who have paid tuition, will be added to the member list on the first day of each month, and get a confirmation email with login instructions.
If you would like to get a head start, visit my other site kundalini-teacher.com. Learn to get grounded, and read the pages about Karma.
If your application is accepted, only your :
- username
- encrypted password
- email address
- membership activation date
... will be added to hidden, secure files on the server for the purposes of member access, and email notifications.
Yes, I am filtering for patience. I prefer your decision to follow this path to be considered, not impulsive. There are Zen places in the East, that make a prospect wait outside the temple for a week! This inspired a scene in the movie "Fight club."
Many students have told me, it was years before first discovering this path, and their guidance telling them they were ready to start. I appreciated their respect for themselves, their guidance and the power of this art. One told me, his guidance pointed him in this direction but he resisted joining for years, until finally one day his guidance spoke up to question his priorities, spending habits and self worth.
I thought that very funny but the important thing is, this path is about learning to turn your life over to the will of your inner, Divine self, how ever you define it and even better if Divine Grace led you here.
Canadian law gives me a disclaimer: "for entertainment purposes only," and I am ok identifying as artist. Art can be powerfully transformative.
About the Application
The application form asks a lot of personal questions. I want to get to know you a little bit, to know your challenges, goals and experiences to be able to support you better.
Mysticism and Kundalini awakening are non-denominational and Kundalini tends to speak through your existing cultural framework. Knowing more about it, helps me to communicate with you more clearly.
I collect home addresses for the rare occasion of sending gifts, and the even rarer possibility of needing to send emergency services to your address. (Has not happened yet!)
Fire Serpent Tantra is truly global. I plan to make an anonymous map of the member locations: any location with a population of less than 200,000 will be hidden, showing country only, to protect member privacy.
I have no other purpose in gathering this information, and do not use it for anything else. Habits of Priestess discretion. Your privacy is sacred to me, a cosmic law. I do not disclose the member list, but you are free to tell anybody that you are a member. Referrals are the best promotion!
Security and Privacy
I am sending the application form via email autoresponder because direct email is very private and secure. More security for you, less spam for me.
Web forms always want to save everything to a database. I looked at hundreds of them. I have no reason to store your responses and personal information online. No database means, nothing to hack. There is really no way to protect web forms from every kind of spam. One form I tested got 10k spam in two days! What a mess.
Direct to email, your responses are securely saved on my home computer, behind two firewalls, with all the usual antivirus. I use a vintage email client that does not open any attachments automatically, and saves email folders to a rare format, not targeted.
My VPS and email server are secure, with professional grade security, and all emails are sent encrypted.
Autoresponder
Please send your email as plain text only: my email client is vintage and if you are successful I will need to copy and paste your user info, plain text into the member manager.
To have the application form sent to your email, click this link to open your email client to send an email to the auto-responder: 
Be sure to edit, un-munge the email address before sending. so it looks like the image above.
To download the application form as a plain text file, right click on this link and select 'download' or 'save link as.'
You can also click on the link to open the text file, and copy-paste the form into your email.
Note: The address of the autoresponder and the address to send the completed form to, are not the same. The autoresponder is 'apply' and the response goes to 'contact' + @this domain.
If sending your completed form as an attachment, please save as a plain .txt file. My computer may not be able to open some document file types.
I prefer to just get it as a plain text email.
Fire Serpent Tantra Membership
Committed couples living together may share a membership, both members must apply.
Tuition includes:
- 56 chapters with an insightful essay, related urls of member experiences, practices, off site links and tips.
- Six hours of video, hosted on Vimeo, with written transcripts.
- Support through the Tea Room: private, members-only bulletin board.
- Searchable Tea Room archives going all the way back to 2000, when the school opened.
- Members only chatroom- Chat parties, classes and events.
- Fire Serpent Tantra in Secondlife.com. Immersive, energy charged art.
There is also, opportunity for private consultations. These are paid separately but included in the Patron level memberships.
I originally designed FST to be a one year course, but most people take three, or more to fully integrate the content. Your pace through the first 53 chapters is controlled, limited to one or two per week to avoid overload. I recommend making a folder and bookmarking chapters as you go, for easy review. Your access to the last three chapters and the graduation rite is dependent on sending me an essay about your experience so I can assess whether you are ready for it.
Note: You get access to the content, not the rights to copy.
Tuition Cost
I have adopted a sliding scale for tuition fees:
Prices are in Canadian Dollars.
USD and Euros are also accepted, at current exchange rates plus fees.
