"The dance is really when the dancer is no more." ~ Osho
Join Monika Nataraj in a magical celebration of the Goddess, through the art of Mystical Dance® and Shakti Spirit® techniques . Discover new dimensions to your femininity as you express the Joy of Being - embracing a spontaneous state of full awareness and full surrender. Incorporating sacred dance from many traditions and belly dance fusion, this residential workshop also weaves together tantric theory, chakra energy work, ritual and visualization to create a unique and inspiring Shakti experience for all women, regardless of dance level. Underscoring this will be inspirations from Osho on the beauty and power of the Feminine, and the mysteries of dance as a path of realization. We also delve deep into the inner dance through daily active Osho Meditations.

FROM OSHO
The dance is really when the dancer is no more.
If the dancer is still there then it is not a creative act, then it is at the most a skill. The technician is there but not the dancer – one who knows how to dance is there but not the dancer.
Because the dancer knows nothing; the dancer remains in a state of not knowing. He forgets all his skill, he forgets all the techniques that he has learnt, he forgets himself, he is utterly lost. He is in the hands of God.
He cannot even say ’I am dancing’ – he can only say ’God has taken possession of me, I am possessed. God is dancing in me. I am the field where God is dancing, I am the hollow bamboo and God is singing. He has made a flute of me.’
