Hello Beloved, I am so excited to have recently arrived here in the GV/NC community and have the opportunity to share in The Dance with you!!
I have served as an embodiment mentor, movement instructor, ceremonial priestess and women's empowerment coach for the last twenty years. I believe that our movement opens the way to magic and our bodies are our most powerful transformational instrument.
I have been dancing for a lifetime. Since my first performance at age 4, dance has always been my biggest source of joy, creative self-expression, empowerment and healing. In 1998 I graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, the first performing arts academy in the United States. After graduating from The Academy my desire to deepen in the movement arts inspired two decades of study, travel, research and immersion. My discovery of Yoga, Bellydance and Classical Indian Dance were all monumental.
Each of these forms inspired me deeply with their rich cultural essence, supreme beauty, empowered embodied expression and encoded spiritual wisdom. I have been so lucky to have had the opportunity to study with incredible teachers and lineage carriers throughout the many years whom include Rehka Tandon, Aida Nour, Colleena Shakti, Suhaila Salimpour, Ra Lalita Dasi, Prajwal Vajracharya, Swami Ramananda and Swami Satchidananda.
It is one of my deepest joys to gather in community and guide others into the power and potential of their bodies and The Dance! In addition to my dance studies I am an initiated 13 Moon Mystery School priestess and continue to deepen in my priestess studies with the Priestess Presence and Rosa Mystica Temples.
I marry both my dance and priestess studies into my own style of ascension artistry and strive to create safe, affirmative, inclusive containers that others may enjoy the many benefits of intentional embodiment, experiencing both their bodies and their dance as tools for personal empowerment.
I have had the good grace to perform and teach internationally sharing the The Dance with so many wonderful souls through this time. I am a teacher on the online global dance studio Datura Online and am the author of and visionary behind the Cosmic Dancer Oracle Deck.
I am looking forward to integrating into this new community and raising up the Shakti together!!
In devotion,
SWAN
