Feb 22nd 2021 - A Brief Bio (For media use)

I’m passionate about creating pockets of creativity, possibility & emergence through subtler & deeper levels of embodiment & awareness in the individual & group body-mind.

More Expansive Bio

I’m an International Educator, Facilitator, Sexuality & Internal Arts Coach, Speaker, Dancer & Creative.  

I grew up in India & lived there till the age of 23. I have spent the last 15 years facilitating, teaching, & living in Europe (Belgium, Sweden & UK amongst other countries), Asia, & South America.

I’m also:

  • Faculty at the International School of Temple Arts (ISTA) 
  • An Internal Arts Coach (Sexual Shamanic, Taoist Internal Arts, & Esoteric Embodiment modalities)
  • Co-creator & Co-Facilitator of the residential & online experiential intensive Master Your Pleasure created by the well-known Educator  Elaine Yonge
  • A Native, Classical, Non-Dual Tantrik  Educator, Scholar, & Practitioner
  • A Somatic Sexual Educator

I speak 7  languages including Swedish, Spanish, Hindi, and also Sanskrit, the source language used in root Tantrik texts.

I am fascinated by the paradox of using language to verbalize & describe embodied experiences & on the other side,  reinforcing the potency of using bottom up (i.e body to mind) language approaches, listening to body, giving time & allowing the body to unwind pain, anxiety, stress or micro-traumas in complement with top down approaches (i.e mind-to-body).

 

I’m passionate about the transformative capacity of embodied self-inquiry to profoundly affect the interbeing of the human condition. Exploring the liminal (“limen” in latin meaning  in between or transition) spaces of the human condition bringing resistance into resonance, honoring the beauty in decay, and finding wisdom in nature’s forms. Engaging with multi-dimensional embodiment itself as study, student & inner guide.

You are welcome to download & experience a recording of a live session, or join me in an in-person container, or read more about my work, approach & experiences below.

Since 2015. I have facilitated, (co) – created, & produced over 40+ in-person, containers integrating Spirituality, Sexuality, Shamanism, and Soul Awareness (Trainings, Experiential Intensives & Group Sessions ) in over 15+ countries across Europe & Asia sharing space with over 1000+ beings.

 

I look forward to walking the path alongside you, if you feel drawn too.

Spiral of Enquiry & Approach

’Diverse embodied fields, often in source language (Classical Non-Dual Tantrik traditions; Somatic Sexology; Trauma-informed Neuro-Transformative Embodiment; Nervous System Health, Dance, & Movement; Shamanic & Soul Awareness; Mystery Traditions, Temple Arts, & Taoist Internal Arts) inform my line of enquiry and work.

Beginning with fostering more intimate, bottom-up, body-to mind dialog. For example to begin with, tuning into the potential of subtler conversations unfolding between aspects of our being – Heart, Belly, Genitals & Mind.

Then deepening the “breath & touch” of inquiry to engage with subtler layers of body & being – Physical, Mental, Emotional, Energetic, Animal, Soul, and more.

The vulnerability & courage of taking a quantum jump into the ocean of not-knowing in our own being. Giving permission to ourselves to allow vibration to arise from the body. The un – choreographed sound of movement & the movement of sound spontaneously unfolding. 

Accessing the life-affirming, creative, erotic potentiality with awareness to reveal deeper places of shadow, life-force energy, freedom, & power waiting to be revealed.  

 Creating enough safety & trust within & without to surrender to the grace of life-force energy called by so many names across different, embodied non-dual  traditions – Kundalini and Qi for example to vibrate, ascend & descend through our being. 

Fostering dialog between instinct & intellect. Allowing forms that reveal themselves from inner structures, In-formation to suddenly, simply arise. Supporting In – tuition or learning from the inside to unfold. 


In my work, I have deep gratitude for observing human beings moving from self-limitation to uncovering deeper levels of authentic self-expression. Growing the capacity to energetically hold more personal responsibility & power. Emerging as unique expressions  of love, freedom, purpose & power and spirit individually & together across diverse fields of enquiries & communities.

Informed by my own journey, observations, & experiences living & working around the world, I’m especially fascinated by the embodied inquiry of places of seeming tension, opposites, paradoxes & seeming polarities of the human condition; body & mind, east & west, soul & animal; sexuality & spirituality; masculine & feminine; logical & mystical, spirit & matter; personality & soul.

The exploration & dance of dualities with the seemingly endless paradoxes of this human experience is what I love & loves through me.

 

 

 

Listen to Bynoi

Recorded July 2020 – If you’re curious about the many traditions of Classical Non-Dual Tantra, suggest listening to this podcast. In this wide ranging conversation, I share my sense of the soil in the Indian subcontinent between 7th & 13th century AD that fertilised the many lineages of the “Tantras”, esp Kashmiri Shaivism.

Also why it is important to understand the history of pivotal figures involved in the development of Tantra in the Indian sub-continent, drawing parallels with current quarantine+activism times.

Bynoi's background

I grew up in Bombay, India in the 80s surrounded by a syncretic, collective consciousness in which the mystical is interwoven with the logical. I was fascinated by the places of synergy and separation between the mystical and the rational, which would emerge as a continuing theme in my life, building bridges & facilitating embodied synthesis between seemingly opposite polarities.

My aunt Cerena Desouza was a pivotal influence early on in life. She was also a  pioneer of blending eastern & western energetic self-cultivation arts in Bombay in the 80s. My mother Dr Prof. Flory D’souza, a professor of Indian history was another pivotal influence.

I also had a sense that the collective shame, guilt & fear that surrounded the use of this exotic & also fierce word Tantra in India may have been misguided. It fueled my enquiry into the liminal aspects of the human condition.

At university, I completed a degree in Electronics & Telecommunications engineering, specializing in technical communication & human factors design. I worked for more than a decade as a consultant to startups & global corporations in Sweden, Belgium, India at the intersection of human behavior, technology, psychology, & business.

I continued my tantric practice & studies, becoming increasingly fascinated by similarities underlying foundational practice of different wisdom traditions originating in the Himalayan Mountain range – Tantric Buddhism, Shaiva Tantra especially Kashmiri Shaivism, Kaula Shakta Tantra, Bon Shamanism, Trans-Himalayan Shamanism, and also Taoist Internal Arts. Many of these wisdom traditions have cross fertilized with each other to create potent individual embodied practices to experience reality skillfully and totally.

I’ve spent the last 15 years immersing in different countries & cultures (Sweden, Belgium, Argentina, India & the UK to name some places) learning, speaking & immersing in  7 languages, including Swedish, Spanish, Sanskrit & also the dance language of Argentine Tango.

I also studied, practiced, and facilitated modalities of dance, movement, bodywork, sexual shamanism, somatic sexology, and trauma intervention. The process of learning, practicing, teaching, and forming practice community around Argentine Tango that began in 2006 shaped my line of enquiry into the embodiment of paradoxes in movement & stillness.

    Testimonials from participants

    My heart led the way and I knew I had to be on this workshop.

    Bynoi is a powerhouse facilitator who really knows how to get his participants juices flowing with exercises that support emotional release and energetic shifts.

    The whole weekend is experiential. I felt so safe to do them all and uncover deeper layers of myself.

    The body is so wise, I have started to develop more trust in listening to the wisdom it speaks, the psychological mind seems to have taken a vacation for now which feels really lovely.

    I signed up to the workshop with my partner and we got to do the excersises together.

    Its been such a blessing and has brought us closer together I feel. I am excited to keep on cultivating orgasmasticity together and alone.

    I FEEL FULL TO THE BRIM WITH LIFE FORCE.

    So grateful
