What is the Tantric Dance of Feminine Power?
bronze dakini
The Tantric Dance of Feminine Power is a deep and sensual moving meditation for Women. This spontaneous yet highly focused practice connects us to the wisdom of the subtle energies of the body through constant presence to sensation, natural breath, heart-opening devotion and reverence for the Divine Feminine. Prior dance experience is not necessary. The work itself is not aerobic but it is "high energy" in terms of internal focus and exploration. We work specifically with the infinite resource of our feminine bodies which includes deep inquiry and feeling into the power source and intelligence of our wombs. This moves us beyond self- expression into the realm of "wisdom". Surrendering to the "wisdom impulses" of the subtle body is like salt dissolving into the ocean, becoming one. This ocean lies within your body, held in the sacred waters of Womb. Moving beyond concepts, the Dance teaches us viscerally what it means to embody the Goddess, to be in our Power and experience the Bliss of the Mother. This Bliss is not dependent upon any external factors, or sense of "other" but inherent in woman's capacity to feel pleasure from her own receptivity and union with the subtle energies which are considered the Goddess Herself. A woman's deepest desires and pleasures are beyond measure when freed from the "patriarchal gaze". It is this freedom that relieves us from making fear-based choices to making choices that vibrate and resonate with our well developed subtle body, born of trust, compassion, reverence and receptivity.

Since each class is 3 hours in length, there is time for personal exploration as well as group work which we call "reclaiming the female shamanic group".

Greetings!

This has been a year of such amazing lessons and I am in huge gratitude for my harvest this year. I was able to spend Fall Equinox in Big Sur with 11 amazing women. We did ritual outside on the land between ancient trees and the churning ocean. As the sun went down we did an inner journey to meet the dark mother and the dark time of the year.  It was rich and deep. I noticed the following morning how light and jubilant everyone was. This was so interesting. It dawned on me that by preparing ourselves to meet each season with reverence is to fully embrace the mystery of our connection to life and its cycles. To embrace is to empower. I knew this before, but this last experience in Big Sur deepened the reality and integrated it into deeper spaces in my body. To read more about this experience please visit my blog by clicking on the image below.

The Ganesh puja and the Sarasvati puja in Venice were a great success. I am now bringing the Sarasvati puja to Orange County and hope you can make it. These are wonderful evenings in which we experience the celebration of the deity from a tradition over 5,000 years old.  By utilizing the specific mantras and mudras during the worship we are actually illuminating the energy pathways of that deity within. These evenings also include some information of the matriarchal and tribal origins of these deities of which I am passionate about sharing.

Then there is the Dance! As I have continued my studies of Tantra I am more and more grateful of the gift of the Tantric Dance of Feminine Power. Whatever I approach to learn or study, the Dance always offers the power of direct experience through the body. Everything becomes a mystic experience as the logical mind is able to let go and the essence of the teachings are experienced and integrated. I hope to see you in class for this powerful, feminine way of worship.
