The Tantric Dance of Feminine Power is movement modality which connects us to the subtle energies of the body. By cultivating deep surrender and sensitivity to the sensations and impulses always present within us we begin to follow these sensations back to their source. That source is Shakti, the tremoring, alive, wisdom movement of the cosmos. Shakti is both immanent and transcendent. By resting deeply in the subtle movement of Shakti we are able to dissolve deep habitual patterns held in body and mind.
The movement is not codified, yet very specific guidelines are introduced to keep the experience internally referenced rather than outwardly defined. This is a powerful re-orientation for women today.
The
Tantric Dance of Feminine Power also helps us explore our relationship
to our own sexuality and life force. Releasing the patriarchal lens on
our sexuality is a powerful experience and crucial
for the transformation towards a life affirming planet. This is not
done through sexual intimacy techniques in this tradition but through
very deep communion and exploration in how this energy expands,
circulates and expresses itself through the nadi's, pathways and central
channel of our bodies.
There are many layers of the Dance to explore including sound work, the female shamanic group, and opening the devotional heart. The specific mix of women and the energy present in class dictates the focus for each class.
