Taste of Love Taster Workshop:

When Shakti Meets Shiva: A Journey into Kundalini Awakening & Embodiment

Join us for a deeply immersive journey into the realms of Kundalini awakening, embodiment, and the sacred union of the divine masculine and feminine. This workshop is designed to activate, balance, and integrate these primal forces within you, allowing for greater self-awareness, vitality, and connection in your life.

Kundalini, often referred to as the dormant life force energy, resides at the base of the spine, waiting to be awakened. When activated, it rises through the body's energy centers (chakras), dissolving old blockages, igniting passion, and awakening a profound sense of presence and bliss. The dance between Shakti (feminine energy – fluid, creative, emotional, and intuitive) and Shiva (masculine energy – stillness, awareness, structure, and consciousness) is an eternal interplay that, when consciously explored, can lead to deeper harmony, empowerment, and wholeness.

In this transformational workshop, we will use a combination of bioenergetics, breathwork, movement, somatic meditation, and tantric embodiment practices to help you:

✨ Awaken & channel Kundalini energy safely and consciously.
✨ Recognize & release body blockages that inhibit full self-expression.
✨ Balance dark & light aspects of both the masculine and feminine within.
✨ Cultivate deeper presence, pleasure, and energetic flow in relationships.
✨ Explore the polarity of giving & receiving to create more fulfilling connections.

We invite you to fully embrace your authentic self in a supportive, gender-balanced environment. Whether you are single, in a partnership, or simply curious about deepening your self-awareness, this space is crafted for you to explore your sensuality, your inner power, and the dynamic interplay of energies within and around you.

This is more than just a workshop—it is a sacred journey into the depths of your being, where the mind quiets, the body awakens, and the soul remembers.

Spaces are limited, purchase your Early Bird Ticket to avoid missing out.

When Shakti meets Shiva

Shakti meets Shiva. She lives in everything— in the sky, the bliss of air. And so does Shiva live in her, in the earth, as his division.

Shakti and Shiva are always connected— in life and in death, in matter and in ether, in thought, in pure awareness.

She is the bliss. My body is a temple, a child of Shakti and Shiva, a child of vision, filled with bliss.

A child of matter, nurtured by the fruits of the earth, fed by the waters of the ground below, energized by the fresh air of the winds and mountains.

I am a child of the universe, in life and in death. This sacred union keeps on— moving, changing, dancing.

I am here as its witness, worshipping in reverence. Eros lives in my body as an expression of the divine life force in matter.

Bliss lives in my body as an expression of the divine life force’s vision of me. Both am I to bear, to listen to, to hold, to respond— not to control, but to be their humble servant.

Here I am, standing free, liberated from any thoughts, chores, or jobs to do.

Moved and unevaded, animated, listening, available— a servant of love and surrender. In this place, I find you, over and over again: plant, animal, sunshine, man, woman, lover, friend, child.

You are my family. I can be the silent witness— expanding beyond borders, limitless, free, without boundaries. I can be in conversation with my body, my heart, my soul.

I can be met in awareness— or I cannot. Either way, it doesn’t make a difference, because creation was and is always one.
