Embody Your Divine Feminine—Alchemical Dance and Ritual
A 3-Day Women’s Workshop
with Antoaneta Gotea
June 8-10, 2023
Presented in English in Longeval, France
Awaken Your Sacred Creative Power
This Tantric workshop is an invitation to awaken your sacred creative power. By connecting to the Divine Feminine, you’ll dissolve suffering, traumas, and difficulties and begin to embody the true jewel that you are.
The basis of Tantra Yoga is the glorification of women, with the understanding that every part of the female body is Divinity incarnate. This wisdom infuses the workshop. Through heart-opening practices, techniques from Tantra and yoga, and the power of dance (including Alchemical Dance, a special practice created by Antoaneta to guide energy through the chakras), you’ll experience a restored sense of unity between feminine creative power, love, and sacredness.
Therefore, dear woman, this is a call to meet yourself where you are right now. Accept, embrace, dance, sing, and worship whatever is in this moment. Dance your happiness or sadness, your gain or loss, your light or shadow, and let dance raise you above yourself.
The poetry that you are will be written by your moving body. And then, we can sit together and talk about love and worship. You already know that ritual is deep within you. Just let this journey remind you…
This workshop will happen in parallel with the sacred masculine workshop and will end with a mixt group ritual (no nudity involved) of mutual worship.
