The concept of Shiva and Shakti, Samanthabhadra and Samanthabhadri, Consciousness and Energy appear in Hindu and Buddhist philosophy from the ancient times. Shiva (male) – embodiment of awareness and consciousness. Shakti (female) – life-force energy To be able to integrate we must first understand the masculine and feminine aspects of ourselves. The union of these forces leaves us feeling balanced, enriched and nourished. As we begin to understand the dual nature that resides within ourselves we can move towards the dissolution of duality. The cosmic union of these two forces makes us experience life as an equanimous whole. In the 3 hour workshop we would be exploring the divine union and understanding the role of chakras in relation to duality; through meditation, authentic movement and art.
