SENIOR HOST
Sharron Rose
Looking across the landscape of today’s societies, one can easily see that the definition of what is feminine is mired in deep confusion. Rather than helping us to discover ways to heal and empower ourselves and our world, too often we have been taught to look outside of ourselves for answers to our problems, to medicate and numb our emotions or forget our deep-seated concerns and intuitive knowing by losing ourselves in the superficial worlds presented to us by the media. Yet the key to health and happiness is to look within. And when one looks deep enough, when one lifts the veils of trauma, one discovers the healing, nurturing, power of the sacred feminine current, the Shakti, the Yin the Goddess within.
Drawing upon her lifetime of research and experience in the performing and healing arts, Indian Classical Dance, yoga, alchemy, women’s mysteries in cultures throughout the world and qigong; teacher, filmmaker and author Sharron Rose takes you on an introductory journey to perceive and experience the power of your essential feminine nature.
