The sun is love. The lover,
a speck circling the sun.
A spring wind moves to dance
any branch that isn’t dead.
Something opens our wings
something fills the cup in front of us
we taste only sacredness
RUMI
The universe and all of its rasa is fruit of the divine union between Shiva and Shakti. The universe is in a constant state of love making. The eternal lover when found within us transforms our relationships with others. The incessant hum of divine union is the the experience which leads us to dance like intoxicated lovers to the drumbeats of the world.
IN THIS ONE DAY WORKSHOP EXPLORE
Tantra – myths and facts
Yoga practice – as the union of Shiva and Shakti
Meditation and chanting – tending the sacred fire
Food and herbs – the aksh (sacred offerings) to feed this instrument we call the BODY.
COST: $108
TIME: 7.30 A.M. – 6 P.M. (food and tea breaks will be included)
Tanyate vistaryate jnanam anemna iti tantram
(tantra is the scripture through which the light of knowledge is spread)
Eating right, sleep, and appropriate use of sexual energy are the three “Pillars of Life.” According to Ayurveda and yoga, they are intertwined in their relationship to our “ojas” (vital life force) which protects the body and mind from illness. If any one of the pillars is compromised, as can so easily happen, it affects the balance of the other two and the way we navigate our lives through the world and its ways.
Contact me for this day long workshop of sensuous movement, meditation and food to learn how to enjoyall this “rasa” (sap/juice) of life!!
with love from the heart of the beloved,

“Of the seasons, I am flower-bearing spring.” – Lord Krisna (Gita)
Spring! That magical, dynamic time of the year when the pulse of life quickens, the first buds get ready to blossom, the rays of sun get stronger and brighter, the womb of the earth begins to warm up! To help this transition, the ancient sages in India came up with different rituals and festivals to celebrate the changing seasons so that as we danced, sang, and prayed during the festivals we would inherently know it was time to change the foods we ate, the way we dressed, and how we went about our daily life.
To stay in balance during this transition, which is organic and flowing for nature, we humans must synchronize our song with the dance of nature.
Join us for a day-long celebration welcoming the spring!

The source of all life is ananda.
The world and all its raga is the product of two opposites:
In this class series we will try to reach an expanded state of consciousness where we will aim to draw all experiences of the physical body together through rhythmic asana, music mantra, and meditation, learning that the essence of the highest union is honoring our own sacred sexuality.
