This weekend offers a radical reorientation of our
relationship to the sacred archetypes, both feminine and masculine. Bringing
together the inner masculine and feminine polarities is essential both for true
awakening and for your evolution as a human. This closely guided workshop
explores archetypal god and goddess energies of the yogic pantheon and how they
appear to us through practice and contemplation.
Saturday: Awakening Shakti
When we connect with the divine feminine, we come in tune
with inner powers of self-actualization, divine love, and liberating wisdom.
This day-long exploration brings forth the goddess-energies as they manifest in
the natural world, in our personal psychology, and as personified archetypes of
wisdom and grace. Sally offers unique insights into both the dark and light
sides of our relationship to the divine feminine. Working with meditation,
contemplative practices, psychological processes, mantra, myth, and
self-inquiry participants look at how the goddess-energies express themselves
through our personal and emotional energies in addition to practicing
connecting to the divine feminine in her protective and liberating forms.
Sunday: Awakening Shiva
Discover how the divine masculine can expand and empower
hidden aspects of your own inner world. This day long workshop explores facets
of the sacred masculine archetypes through key practices, myths, and teachings
of the Indian yogic tradition. Understanding deity archetypes such as Krisha,
Shiva, and Ganesha can transform your experience of both masculine and feminine
consciousness. They embody facets of the sacred masculine that are crucial to
our transformation as individuals and as a culture. Each of them is both a
divine personality, and a portal into absolute Consciousness. Each of them can
give us the direct experience of our own embodied divinity.
