Unleash the Love Goddess within
 
 
 
Love Goddess
ALL women of ALL ages and types can benefit form this confidence building workshop. Using dance and other mediums we will look at what is stopping us from expressing our sensual nature and techniques and meditations to look feel and believe we are the goddesses we were born to be.
The Goddess says,"Ye shall dance, sing, feast, make love, all in my praise. For mine is the ecstasy of spirit and mine also is joy on earth."(Farrar 1974)
 
Love GoddessThe worship of the great powers of life has many names; Venus, Ishtar, Freya, Shakti, Tanit, Innana, etc. Find out how the sexual is the spiritual. This workshop will focus on us channelling the vibrant, sexy and life enhancing energy of the goddess of love. Goddess worship has always been linked to sensual dance.
 
Love GoddessWe will learn how to dance with intention to harness these powerful euphoric energies. With practice they give vigour and youthfulness and a special allure. Together with the connection with image and ritual we will learn how to reach ecstatic heights and make our energy fields more charismatic and sexually alluring.
 
Love GoddessWe all know people who are sexy despite not being conventionally attractive. This energy is available to all who want it. It is something we can learn to be, or more correctly tune into too.
During this workshop we will look at Tantricism and the Goddess associated with this.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Becoming the spiritual Warrior Woman
 
 
Warrior Woman
There are energies we can connect to that will help us to not be afraid of life's challenges. Women have been using the techniques taught in this workshop to become connected to powerful feminine energies for thousands of years.
So many of us get trapped in destructive behaviour patterns which lead us to chaotic and negative realities.
 
The dark goddess of destruction like the Hindi Kali or the Celtic Morrigans can help us to destroy the things that are no longer useful and that are hindering our progress. We can use dance and ritual to reprogram ourselves using goddess energies.
In this workshop we explore Goddess myths and archetypes that will enhance our lives. We will look at strong, powerful Goddesses from Middle Eastern, Asian and Celtic mythology.
We are all diverse individuals with our own unique personalities; we are also many different women in one person.
This day is about connecting with the strong dynamic and powerful aspect of the self that is IN ALL WOMEN. Using a variety of Goddesses handed down to us through myth and legend, we will have loads of fun as we work on our inner selves. Using various transpersonal techniques such as meditation, visualisation, creativity, movement, costume and ritual.

Dancing 12 Middle Eastern Archetypes
 
In this workshop, I give a talk and slide show of twelve Middle Eastern Goddess archetypes.
I instruct the group in suitable Middle Eastern dance techniques. The mythological stories are enacted through dance psychodrama.


Through the movements, participants can connect in a very powerful way to the metaphysical and transformative meaning of the movements. I use trance and creative visualisation to produce a life changing, inspiring and magical experience for those involved.

Dancing 12 Middle Eastern Archetypes
 Dance of the seven veils
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Based on the myth of Ishtar we will learn a choreography and technique that will be both sensual and spiritual. Special attention will be paid to fluid movements such as various undulations of the torso and feminine and gentle hand/arm movements. We will examine moves that are serpentine and archetypal . This dance will show how to reveal the inner goddess that lives in all women. The veil is a symbol of what we choose  to reveal and  conceal about ourselves, we will use the veil to illuminate our most shining dancer self. This is the ultimate seduction dance. The number seven has mystical properties in many cultures it is also the number of energy identities (Chakras) In the human body. This workshop will teach technical details to achieve the movements described as well as psychological  and mythic information that is meant to empower as well as entertain.
