What we’re about
This is an invitation to an embodied prayer dance form informed by both Kashmiri Shiva Dance or Tandava Tantric Dance as taught by tantric scholar Daniel Odier and Tantric Dance of Feminine Power out of the northwestern US.
This is an opportunity to come together with a small group in a cozy intimate setting and discover and embody your intentions and prayers together around each new moon in 2025. This is an invitation to drop more deeply into your body and somatic experience to discover and express your authentic intentions and desires in a prayer dance form for personal and collective healing. This is an opportunity to witness and be seen and heard deeply and to learn to channel divine angelic frequencies through your body for healing yourself and the group.
Tantric Dance is a deep and slow healing movement form that takes time to master and to learn how to channel divine healing frequencies and prayers through your physical form. I would like to gather a small group of five or so people to come together and commit to showing up each month in 2025. The cost for drop in for this offering is $35 and I highly encourage you to pay in advance for several evenings for 3 months for $75. Please paypal Amber to reserve your spot at Amber@EmpressUniversity.Coach. The event may be canceled if there is not enough pre registration so please register now and set this time aside for yourself and to connect in a deep sacred way with community.
Tantric Dance of Feminine Power is a dance form created by Vadjra Ma and taught by Nita Rubio out of the northwestern US. Tantric Dance of Feminine Power is a prayer dance form that works with channeling various Goddess and Divine energies. Many others teach Tantric Dance in various forms in Ashland Oregon and surrounding areas. In addition to studying with Vadja Ma, my main teacher of Tantric Dance was Felice Laurel who also mentored me in Family and Systemic Constellations and Inherited Family Trauma Healing. Felice Laurel’s Source Dance worked with prayer dance channeling angelic and divine energies and spirit animals. Besides studying with several other Tantric Dance Teachers, I have studied traditional Kashmiri Shiva Dance also known as Tandava in the himalayas with the Scholar and prolific author of many books on tantra Daniel Odier.
I also have a background as a professional dancer and earned my undergrad degree in Modern Dance and performed and traveled with several well known belly dance troupes including Domba out of Tempe Arizona and Baraka Mundi out of Asheville NC. I also did prayer-formance art with Liquid Fire Mantra out of the northwest and performed at large festivals such as Beloved Festival and Lightning in a Bottle in southern CA. I have taught Tantric Dance for many years including at large festivals such as multiple years teaching at DevaDasi Sacred Dance Festival out of SF and Earth Dance Festival in northern CA. I have studied with Zoe Jakes and been influenced by her Modern Fusion form of Belly Dance as well as Barefoot Flamenco.
After many years of learning, performing and creating choreography, I really appreciate the authentic creative and spontaneous movement form that is Tantric Dance and its ability to be used as a healing art form. As a Therapist MA MFT and Coach with a focus in Somatic Therapy and training in Expressive Art Therapies and a background in professional dance, the healing aspect of Expressive Arts is important to me.
