Hello Friends of the Dance,
Hope this newsletter finds everyone well and staying cool! New classes and series are starting soon, including new offerings of Moon Lodges, pujas and more. By the way, there is one more spot for Big Sur in September. I cant wait to get there to offer our Dance and healing energy to the land. Our prayers are with our friends and loved ones facing these fires. May all beings be free from harm. Namaste.

Moonlodge in Venice
9 women, including myself, have just completed our first 6 month commitment to meeting together once a month as near to the new moon as possible. It has been a lodge of stories, healing, re-claiming of power, shedding of shame, health, mystery , rejuvenation and rest. Although I have honored my moontime for many years, the experience of coming together once a month with the same group of women has healed something ancient and old inside myself. Something I did not even know was missing until I tasted the fruits of being in community at such a sacred time, for such a sacred purpose.
There are 2 spaces available for the next 6 months of moonlodges. These spots are available only to women who have taken a series of the Tantric Dance of Feminine Power with Nita. Our first meeting is Sunday August 3rd. We meet from 4-8 p.m. in Venice.. Dates are planned through December. Please contact Nita for more information

A Night of Chakra Cleansing and Ganesh Puja!

I hope you will join me Tuesday evening July 29th from 7-10 p.m. for an evening of meditation, mantra, and puja. We will begin with learning and experiencing an elemental mudra and mantra practice that is an incredible support for any practitioner , then segue into a beautiful puja for Ganesh, the remover of obstacles. This puja is particular to Haridra Ganesh, the healing aspect of Ganesh. We will also have some discussion on why we worship Ganesh in a Goddess focused tradition and some of the tribal origins of Ganesh. Finally, we will allow the rich tapestry of energy woven, take us into the Dance! Women only for this first evening. Later, these one evening events will become open to everyone.
It is a must to reserve your spot as space is limited. $40 Please contact Nita for more information or to register.

Bleeding with Chinnamasta
Here I am, 18 days into my sadhana to Chinnamasta. Been seeing Her
blood spouting out of her neck for 18 days now. The upward moving flow
of regeneration piercing my 3rd eye creating vision so acute it hurts.
Her upward flow feeding the ida and pingala, Dakini and Varnini.
Cleansing out my lunar and solar channels. Bringing to the surface all
of the "ugly" I have hidden. Her translucent red body ornamented with
skulls and dark gray lotuses flash like lightning ,vibrating and re-
calibrating my nervous system. Making me breathe deeper, making me
slow down just so I can breathe deeper. I'm in love with Her.
Now comes the downward flow of my blood. Blood of life and blood of
death. The same blood. Which is top? Which is bottom? Which is yoni?
Which is 3rd eye? Perceptions altered and re-organized in a luminous
chaos. Exposing my own categories I have placed things in. The places
I have boxed myself in. I open both mouths in a simultaneous mudra of
offering, yet I receive.
I pour out to others, yet I drink. The inner sanctums exposed to all
that would touch them and in turn be devoured in Her bliss.
Chinnamasta flashes her dark luminous eyes, laughs, and Dances.
