Tao Tanmaya
Co-facilitator at IMAP, general manager, course translator
Tao Tanmaya (Iryna Matveeva) is at the heart of IMAP as the general manager, course translator and co-facilitator of IMAP's Love, Sex & Tantra courses with Sāmudro. Many participants thank her for her presence in the courses, as she is a role model as a wise woman, a mother and a grandmother.
Born in Budapest in 1967, with Belarusian-Polish-Tatar roots, she graduated from Kharkiv Polytechnic University. After many years of Christian and Buddhist studies, she came to the paths of Advaita, Tantra and Oshō.
When she met Sāmudro, she knew that she had not only met a teacher she respected with all her heart, but also a life-partner to whom Existence, in its highest manifestation, had led her.
She has trained with multiple tantra teachers for over 20 years, including Taoist Sexual Alchemy with Mantak Chia in Thailand and Tantra Massage at the Tantra Essence School in Bali.
Since 2021, she has been co-leading all IMAP tantra themed courses, as well as translating for Sāmudro from English into Russian for most IMAP courses.
Her spiritual name Ma Tao Tanmaya means "Dissolved in the Path."
