Sasha Lessin, Ph. D. (U.C.L.A.).  I'm a poly psychotherapist and relationship counselor since the 1970s.  Janet and I counsel relationship choice--making you the chooser.  We lead polyamory training groups at conferences and our home in Maui, Hawaii.  Counseling, teaching in workshops and now, in our book, More Loving Loving More: Synergistic Sacred Sex & Reverential Relationships for Three or More Lovers, we share the tantric and psychospirital techniques we use to create, nourish and celebrate poly pairs, triads, moresomes, networks and lovenests.

Janet Kira Lessin, P.T.S., President & CEO of the World Polyamory Association has been philosophically polyamorous all her life.  When she was 12 she read The Harrad Experiment by Robert Rimmer and Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein.  These two books focused her on multiple relationships and she thought she, like Rimmer's and Heinlein's protaganists, had been born too soon; here world was conservative and monogamous.

Janet knew she could love more than one person with great depth, intensity and intimacy and then she could be who she really was.  She gave in, however, to societal pressure; she married monogamously twice.  She struggled in these marriages and within herself.  Both her marriages ended in infidelity.  Frustrated with this pattern, Janet devoted herself to the study of human nature, sexuality psychology and relationships.  

     In 1995, Janet became an internet relations counselor on AOL (planetsexy@aol.com).  The spontaneity of IMs (Instant Messages) and the anonymity of the internet led to thousands of "true confessions" from those struggling with unhappy relationships, infidelity, unfulfilled desires, sexual frustration and dysfunction. She did the best she could to help. She knew there had to be more she could do. 

In the summer of 1997 her life road led her to Sasha Lessin, a leading polyamory spokespersons, tantra educator and relationship counselor.

Sasha and Janet married in 1997 at the Celebrations of Eros Conference at Harbin Hot Springs, CA, which was led by renown polyamory leader, Dr. Deborah Anapol.  Sasha and Janet began teaching their diverse healing, spiritual and relationship paths together and further developed the synergy of tantra and relations counseling to its present form, All-Chakra Tantra, the guiding framework for the School of Tantra and for the Poly Tantric Lovestyle.  All-Chakra Tantra includes the study of relationship diversity and  sexual orientation honoring personal choice as it is made in each moment of one's life.

Based in Maui, Hawaii, Janet and Sasha counsel people who are monogamous, polyamorous, bisexual, gay, straight, singles, couples, moresomes, swingers and groups, both in Hawaii and all over the globe. They have adapted methods from Holotropic Breathwork, Tantra, Voice Dialogue, Gestalt Therapy, Existential Analysis, Hypnotherapy, Pastlife Regression Therapy and Imago Work.
