1. THE SHAME GAME - Ready to unshame yourself? Shame anchors the belief that there is something wrong with us, which leaves us unworthy of love. In this workshop we will rewrite that pattern and come back to reclaiming what was once ourse: love and self worth. Deeply rooted in our cells. Keywords: Emotional healing, open to anybody.
2. ORGASMIC EMOTIONAL WAVE - Ready to step up your emotional maturity game and move from raw emotional states to a softer, orgasmic-like wave? We will work with raw and subtle layers of emotional release from the pelvis, psoas to the rest of the body. Unveiling a softer flow of release, expression and action. Keywords: Solo and pair work, no nudity.
3. SHAKTIPAT CEREMONY - Shaktipat is a traditional, mystical, Tantric ceremony. In Sanskrit, Shaktipat literally means descent of grace. Through ritual and intent we invite awareness of life energy (Kundalini) into our bodies.Resulting in a more flow, bliss and ease. Shaktipat is a solo meditation, supported by collective energy. You will be ‘touched’ by water of the Ganga river, sacred ash, Kumkum and a third eye blessing of the Siddha lineage. Indian Vedic chants will support you into deeper meditation and prayer. A Shaktipat can be a deeply transformational experience. Keywords: Intense energy work, meditation, solo practice.
4. LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS - In a soft, grounded and rooted way we will explore the darkness within. Rich as the soil, honest as our shadows. This is not a touch, interaction or pleasure oriented workshop, yet offers more of a solo, silence and inwards structure. Keywords: Bring your own blindfold, meditation, integration.
