This course is for men and women interested in exploring intimacy, the sacred polarity of Shiva and Shakti and communing in a deep and meaningful way. Come if you’re curious. All are welcome. Take the leap! Enrollment in this course requires a commitment to transformation and a responsibility to the self and group. Therefore an expectation of 100% attendance is requested in order to maintain the integrity of the group trust. However, each student will be allowed a maximum of two absences. Due to the nature of this work ~ any student exceeding two absences ~ will be required to forgo both attending the remainder of the course, as well as the funds committed. We hope you will join us wholeheartedly in a full commitment to this process of transformation.
