Saundarya: A Beauty Filled Tantra Yoga Sadhana:

Sunday, November 17, 2024

3pm - 6pm

Dragon Academy of Martial Arts | 8807 Annapolis Rd., Lanham, MD 20706

Saundarya in its simplest form means beauty. The feminine Nature is always closely associated with beauty and the very essence of beauty is Goddess. Tantra asks that we seek the very source of beauty, allowing it to draw us closely to the Goddess Herself. 

During this Tantric Sadhana, we will gather together in the ancient way of woman, as a sacred community of devotees walking the Way of the Mother, to draw close to the source of beauty and awaken a heart of devotion, sensuousness and love. 

Together we will soften into the ways of walking in beauty, grace and ease, opening to life as love making through the feminine form practices of Tantra Yoga, Temple Dance, Mantra, Poetry & Sacred Beauty.

Ceremonial Tea + Sacred Feminine Ayurvedic Elixirs + Prasadam will be served to help facilitate the opening of the heart, nourishing the womb and nervous system + increasing Ojas (Our sacred life nectar/ radiance/immunity.)

“Oh, Supreme Divine Mother,
Whatever action of mine, may it be intended for and dedicated to Your worship:
may my speech become recitation of Your name as prayer (japa),
may all my actions become gestures of Your worship (mudras),
may all my movements become a circumambulation around Your form (pradakshina),
may all my food and drink become offerings to You as oblations to divine fire (havan),
may all my resting and sleep become prostrations to You (pranam)
may all my worldly pleasures and enjoyments be transformed into acts of devotion to you (seva),
(May “I” become “Thine” and “Thou” become “mine”,  O Mother,)”
