Lokita Carter

Until 2015 my beloved husband Steve and I had a great life enjoying each other and teaching Tantra, together for 17 years. Then everything was ripped apart. Receiving the diagnosis of a rare, aggressive and life-threatening breast cancer, followed by harrowing treatment, and concurrently the tragic and violent loss of Steve in a murder spree.
