> Vivi Devi Dasi
http://www.vividevidasi.com/
I am passionate about the expression of spirit through body, rituals and music. This inspired me to begin a deep search of self-knowledge and connection with the Being. Throughout my travels to different countries, I studied: Kundalini and Vinyasa Yoga, Shakti Dance®, Feminine Empowerment, Tribal Belly Dance, 5 Rhythms®, Mystic Dances, Ritual Dance, African Sacred Dance, Indian Sacred Dance, Dances of Universal Peace, Reiki, Meditation, Womb Blessing and Shamanic Dance.
As I was integrating knowledge, I felt a call for service in order to share what I had learned in each place. Since then, I have been teaching classes and workshops on deepening self knowledge through a variety of techniques. From my life journey, the project ~ Círculo de Diosas ~ was born, a space for support, inspiration and empowerment for women through the deepening of ancestral healing techniques. This pilgrimage has brought me many benefits, such as cultivating patience, flexibility (physical and mental), compassion and above all, a connection with the Divine inside.
These practices have taught me to trust the universe with the certainty that EVERYTHING is in DIVINE order, and they have awakened in me the desire to serve from my heart.
I hope to plant a seed of curiosity and love, and to inspire everyone who shares their practice with me.
