Behind a paywall, but there's ways around that. An important article about the so-called International School of "Temple Arts", a kind of pay-per-play sex cult with mounting accusations against it. I've read other accounts from ex-teachers of the group and it ain't pleasant reading #ISTA #NeoTantra
