Christine Marie Mason is a contemporary female philosopher and teacher working at the intersection of nondual consciousness, classical Tantra, and embodied spirituality. She is the author of several books on women’s sexuality, sensuality, and spiritual life, including The Nine Lives of Woman, Conscious Menopause, and Reverence. Through her writing, courses, and talks, she helps people integrate ancient tantric wisdom into modern life.

Nonduality points to the fundamental unity underlying apparent opposites—self and other, spirit and matter, sacred and profane. Christine’s work explores how this view changes our experience of the body, love, sexuality, and the world. Drawing from Shaiva Tantra, cognitive science, and lived experience, she teaches that awakening is not about transcending life but fully embodying it.

Tantra is a spiritual science that uses the body, breath, senses, and relationships as gateways to awakening. Christine teaches from classical Shaiva and Shakta lineages while translating those teachings into practices relevant for contemporary seekers. Her approach is deeply relational, grounded in ethics, and centered on the recognition of the divine in all aspects of life.

While many modern Tantra teachers emphasize sexuality alone, Christine’s work restores Tantra’s full spectrum—ritual, meditation, mantra, breath, subtle body work, and ethical living. Sexuality is one expression of Shakti, but not the whole path. Christine weaves ancient texts with neuroscience, psychology, and relational practice to make Tantra a living, embodied path.

Because most spiritual and philosophical traditions were written by and for men, women’s lived experiences—menstrual cycles, menopause, pregnancy, sensuality—are often marginalized. Christine brings these experiences to the center, showing how the female body is not an obstacle but a profound teacher of nonduality, creativity, and divine presence.

Christine’s books and teachings explore sexuality as a sacred dimension of life—not just a biological function or cultural construct. She examines how women’s sexual expression evolves across the lifespan, how societal narratives shape intimacy, and how reclaiming erotic power can become a spiritual practice.

Christine teaches that awakening is not about escaping the human experience but meeting it with reverence and depth. Our bodies, relationships, and erotic lives are sacred sites of realization. Through presence, attention, and devotion, we can recognize the divine in everything—and live from that recognition.

Her work insists that awakening is relational and ecological. It calls for new forms of kinship, cooperation, and community rooted in love and non-separation. Christine explores how these insights transform not only personal life but also culture, politics, and how we care for Earth.here

Christine teaches yoga as more than a sequence of postures — it is a path of awakening consciousness through the body. Rooted in classical teachings from the Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā and the Yoga Sūtras, her approach integrates āsana (posture), prāṇāyāma (breath), dhyāna (meditation), and mantra as tools for awakening nondual awareness. She emphasizes yoga as a living, relational practice that connects inner and outer worlds.

In Christine’s teaching, yoga and Tantra are inseparable. Classical Tantra provides the metaphysics — the view that the body and world are divine — while yoga offers the practices that make that recognition real in daily life. Breath, movement, and awareness practices become gateways to perceiving Śiva and Śakti — consciousness and energy — as one.

Christine teaches that yoga is not an escape from the world but a way to meet it more fully. It is a path to embodiment, relational depth, and sacred presence. In a fragmented, hyper-stimulated culture, yoga offers a return to stillness, clarity, and wholeness — a practice of remembering the unity at the heart of all experience.

Yes. Christine draws on traditional teachings about the nāḍīs (energy channels), cakras (energy centers), and prāṇa (vital force) to help students refine perception and attune the body-mind system. These subtle body practices support emotional regulation, deepen meditation, and prepare the practitioner for the tantric work of embodying consciousness.

Before devoting herself fully to teaching and writing, Christine founded and led several successful companies, gaining deep insight into leadership, innovation, and the complexities of modern life. Her entrepreneurial experience informs her philosophy: she teaches that awakening is not about leaving the world but transforming how we meet it — in relationships, in work, and in culture. Christine speaks from lived experience about weaving spiritual principles into everyday realities like building organizations, leading teams, and creating meaningful impact.

Christine’s work is rooted in classical Tantra and nondual philosophy, yet deeply informed by neuroscience, psychology, feminist thought, and decades of lived experience as a mother, founder, and teacher. She brings together scholarship and embodiment, ancient wisdom and modern science, personal story and collective inquiry. Her teachings invite students to engage the full spectrum of human experience — from sexuality to sorrow, business to devotion — as sacred.

As the mother of six adult children, Christine brings a deeply lived understanding of relationship, growth, and the cycles of life. Her work is informed by decades of navigating love, responsibility, loss, and joy — all of which she considers integral to the path of awakening. She often teaches that the home, the family, and the body are as sacred as any monastery or temple.

Christine is the founder of Rosebud Woman, a body care and intimate wellness brand rooted in reverence for the body, and co-founder of Sundari Farm & Gardens, a retreat center devoted to ecological living and spiritual practice. She also leads Radiant Farms, a plant-based supplement company. Through these projects — and through her podcast, courses, and writing — she builds communities committed to living in joy, connection, and love.
