 This mini-course is based on the Basic Sexual Shadow Work book written by Shakti Malan, the founder of the Shakti Shiva Academy. Through this course you will be empowered to awaken and access the true power of your sexuality. Together we will delve into the dimensions of our sexuality that express themselves from our unconscious, or what Jung referred to as our shadow. This basic course is a satisfying (or tantalizing) overview of the 9 month version offered again next year. Appropriate for all genders and sexual orientations.

Recently did a super rich and fun interview with Emmi Mutale of the Feminine Revered podcast, discussing Feminine sexual awakening and the upcoming 9 month Sexual Awakening for Women course offered by the Shakti Shiva Academy. Watch the video or click here to learn more about this deep diving course that was developed by the late Dr. Shakti Malan.  Separating in the mind the moment between
the noticing and the meaning making, There is the space of, “I don’t know.” If I think about it, this space is somewhat scary; plunging me into the instability of a nebulous existence, no place to anchor or stabilize or get me perspective from. If I feel about it,  It's my honor to be part of the teaching team at the Shakti Shiva Academy for this 9 month held container of diving deep into the sexual shadow.

 I am angry.
I’ve been waiting for Permission. It’s been there Dangling just ahead of me On the maze of my own making. Always just ahead. I put it there, too Part of my Brilliantly designed maze. What would I do if I had it? I would take up space. Take up what space? There’s plenty of space. More than I could possibly use up. I caught up to the Permission. And it was just a little piece of paper Dangling from a stick. No authority behind it. But my own illusion. Baby, there are new rules in town.  photo by David Zawila I’m active in many groups on Facebook that are in constant discussion about relations between men and women. There’s “Tantra” and “Conscious” and “Enlightened” hoody-ha all over my inbox. I wade through it every day. After hours and days and weeks of feeling my own triggers and witnessing the triggers of others and feeling into the knot in my brain and the pain in my heart I’ve come to a phrase that’s the best medicine I’ve found: I’m curious about your struggle.  Consciousness is without gender. When we strip away the meaning making and assessment of experience, when we remove all the filters of “How am I being seen?” and attachments to identity (“I’m this kind of person. I fulfill this role and do these things in the world.”) then what’s left?
The pure presence of consciousness peering out of this human meat suit has no concern for gender or any other identity (feminist, queer, POC, trans, American, Republican). No care at all. Those are all constructs of culture, ego, relational dynamic, or geographical border. Do people in those identities have vastly different life experiences that have informed them? Yes! Absolutely. All that very real material of circumstance and personality can be carefully and consciously identified and is still different from the present and equanimous essence of consciousness.  I was in the process of moving into my new home when it happened...I was carrying a load from the back of the car into the house. Easily. Swiftly. I’d packed well. It was late morning and there were several workmen digging around the exterior of the house, hired by me to replace the drainage system. One of them was passing by on the driveway, precariously pushing a wheelbarrow overflowing with heavy, muddy tools. Upon seeing me he dropped it with a hurried clatter, already moving towards me as he called out, “Here, let me help you with that!”
