FAMILY PRACTICE - July Drop In

Sunday 12th - Family Practice (open to all practitioners)

10am-12.30pm, 5 Florence Street

We're very excited to welcome the legendary Collette Davis back to Glasgow!

The Power of Shakti - an introduction to working with the Goddess 

Join Collette Davis, senior Yoga Teacher, Tantrika and founder of the Samãveśa School of Tantra, Somatics and Embodied Yoga, for a special session exploring working with Shakti or Goddess through the lens of the Shakta Tantric traditions.

Shakti is the name for the primordial creative energy of the universe which is personified as a great goddess who takes many incarnations - each incarnation having their own mythology, practices, potency and energy. This practice will involve meditation, mantra, movement (primarily somatic / free movement) and satsang - lecture, discussion and sharing - to meet Shakti via her goddess incarnations.

About Collette:

My offerings are an ongoing inquiry into embodied liberation and I facilitate intuitive moving meditations that guide students into the liminal and imaginal realms of the somatic unconscious.

These can be psychedelic experiences that awaken the inner artist, heal the parts of Psyche that have been cut off and open up the channel for a Graced life. I live and breathe the teachings of Tantra and am constantly learning, practicing, forgetting and remembering how to get out of the Way so life can lead.

​

An Embodied Flow™ facilitator, senior yoga teacher, tantrika, devotee, and certified Wizard, I am also the humble shepherd of the Samāveśa School of Yoga. I’ve been a devoted student and practitioner of Non-Dual Shaiva Tantra since 2010, and have over 2000 hours of teacher training experience. I have two Masters degrees, the most recent in Interdisciplinary Psychology where I carried out a piece of academic research on the Embodied Flow School. I am forever grateful to my teachers Tara Judelle, Scott Lyons, Leila Sadeghee, Bridget Luff, Zeenat Cameron, Hareesh Wallis, Adyashanti and the luminous lineage and living stream of Kashmir Shaivism.

​

I don’t get down so well with hierarchical systems of power and am interested in disrupting the teacher-student binary. I advocate for circular communities where we get to co-create a brave and kind space, weaving trauma informed practices so we feel held and supported. I’m all heart so you can expect a big generous holding field and a healthy, tender friendship that honours boundaries on both sides.
