From Shame to Ecstasy: How Urban Tantra Empowers Healing for All

Real Stories and Rituals That Help You Reclaim Your Body, Pleasure, and Power

For many, sexuality has been a source of shame, pain, or exclusion. Urban Tantra, by Barbara Carrellas, offers a radically different path—one where healing, empowerment, and joy are possible for everyone. The book is filled with compassionate rituals and exercises designed to help readers reclaim their bodies and pleasure, regardless of their history. Carrellas’ approach is trauma-informed, queer-affirming, and deeply body-positive. She encourages readers to move at their own pace, trust their instincts, and celebrate every step of progress.

Urban Tantra’s healing practices include breathwork for calming anxiety, conscious touch for rebuilding trust, and affirmations for releasing shame. The book also shares stories from workshops where participants found community, acceptance, and transformation. Whether you’re healing from trauma, seeking more pleasure, or simply wanting to feel more at home in your body, Urban Tantra provides a roadmap to ecstasy and empowerment. Carrellas’ message is clear: your body is sacred, your pleasure is your birthright, and healing is always possible. 3 4
