Embodiment


They try to say what you are, spiritual or sexual?
They wonder about Solomon and all his wives.

In the body of the world, they say, there is a soul
and you are that.

But we have ways within each other
that will never be said by anyone.
 (Rumi, translated by Coleman Barks)

In this 3-hour long Group Experience, we explore methods or technologies within tantric traditions that are intended to transform body and self, looking at the different levels of practice that we can bring into our lives. Using a combination of methods and techniques, we reconnect our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies. We keep one-sided talking, or instruction, to a minimum, allowing maximum time for  interactive exercises using music, breath and movement. The evening finishes with a question and answer session during which we will particularly concentrate on ways to use the life transforming practices developed within tantric traditions.
If you are interested in finding out more about tantra, or body-based healing and transformational practices, this Group Experience is for you. Those who are on a path of exploration and who have some expertise, will be able to enjoy the experience to greater depth. In short, wherever you are a sincere immersion into the practices offered will take you exactly where you need to go!
This Group Experience is the first in a series of 4 evening sessions leading up to the Tantric Touch Session on Friday 16 December 2011. Participants wishing to attend all, or more than one, of the evening sessions will receive a discount.
Dakini Shekina will be assisted by Dakas Don Dreaming Eagle and SynJyn. Together we will create a safe space for your exploration and experience.
Cost: R300 per person (speak to us about discounts offered)
If you feel strongly to attend, but have financial constraints, please talk to us.

Dare to Be: Group Experiences in December 2011


tantra cannot be understood because tantra is not an intellectual proposition: it is an experience
(Bhagavan Shree Rajneesh)
I looked up from my own journey to find that December is upon us. The teachers, Dakinis and Dakas are either setting off for Cape Town, or are already there, preparing to enjoy a delightful immersion into meeting, sharing, practising, teaching and learning with their peers. Most of them, that is: a few of us remain.
In response to a question: “What about Johannesburg?” we offer a series of evening Group Experiences covering a variety of topics around Tantra, sexuality, relationships and love. Each Group Experience includes a short, informative talk; the opportunity for questions and answers; and an interactive exercise using breath and movement. We can promise that it will be fun, but warn that it may lead to serious inquiry (at best), or catalyse shifts (even better).

Dakini Shekina conducts explorations (sessions) for individuals, couples and groups. Currently these are offered at Shakti Gardens in Franklin Roosevelt Park, Johannesburg and at her country retreat in the Cradle of Humankind near Krugersdorp and the Sterkfontein Caves. Shekina also does extended explorations (2-3 days) and retreats.
