ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Diana Richardson
was born in KwaZulu, South Africa. She holds a law degree (B.A.LL.B) from the University of Natal, Durban, South Africa, and has taught therapeutic massage since 1978. In 1979 she became a disciple of Indian mystic Osho and began a personal inquiry into tantra—the union of sex and meditation—inspired by Osho and tantric master Barry Long.

Through the integration of these different sources in her own experience, a unique body of work on “generative sex,” or “cool sex,” has emerged, which represents an evolutionary step for the human being. The essence of the teaching is encapsulated in the simple, practical, and highly effective “Love Keys.” Since 1993 Diana has led “Making Love” seminars for couples with her partner, Michael Richardson.

Michael Richardson
was born in Germany and attended the Academy of Music and Performing Arts in Stuttgart. He teaches tantra and t’ai chi—yang style as taught by Master Chu—as well as the Gurdjieff sacred dances, practices shiatsu, and is a musician. In 1985 he became a disciple of Indian mystic Osho. His thirty years experience of meditation in movement through the practice of t’ai chi planted the roots of his perception of energy within the tantric dimension.

Couples travel from different parts of the world to participate in Diana and Michael’s informative and life-changing workshops in Switzerland. They are pioneers in the sphere of human sexuality and among today’s leading authorities on the subject. They have published several books about the essence of tantra—the union of sex and meditation—and the practical ways a person can experience a more fulfilling love and life.
