Embody the Goddess: Transformation Through Movement, Sound and Breath

July 9–11, 2021

with Shamini Jain and Kirti Srivastava

Are you ready to become your most inspirational and co-creative self, and bring forth the Divine Feminine in your fullest expression?

Through guided exercises in vocal expression, movement, and breathwork, combined with Eastern spiritual practices of mudra, mantra meditation, and devotional dance, you will learn how to:

  • Connect with the goddess and her many qualities to empower your spiritual development and unleash your soul’s vibratory purpose
  • Improvise more easily with words, sound, and movement
  • Explore elemental energies through the chakras, to integrate and transform places of disconnect into a sense of union
  • Invoke various forms of the tantric goddess through mantra, mudra, meditation, and other simple exercises to empower your healing and the healing of others

This workshop is open and applicable to all ages, abilities and gender! Come liberate yourself in community.
