DANGA(tm) - is a blend of both Goddess Yoga & Temple Dance. It combines core yoga postures and womb breathing to balance the ovarian palace and strengthen the seat of creation and its connection to every other part of the body. DANGA adds womb dancing and sounds that bring out the music in you. There are sacred ritualistic, prayerful & meditative movements; Griot dance - telling and expressing through movements, all with the undercurrent of sensuality and spirit of tantra. Mother earth can be your partner at times, grounding and plugging you into the force of the divine feminine goddess. The boundaries between mind, body & spirit are slowly erased with each stroke of your body's movement.

DANGA(tm) is soul-fully, heart-fully and womb-fully healing; it leads you to experience the goddess beauty as it moves and lives within you. It connects you with your woman-ness, and brings out the inner and outer radiance of your femininity!!

Surya is available for performances, workshops and classes.
Let the GODDESS TEMPLE come to YOU!!
Bring DANGA to your Goddess sistah circles and gatherings!

Dance, when you're broken open.
Dance, if you've torn the bandage off.
Dance in the middle of the fighting.
Dance in your blood.
Dance, when you're perfectly free.

WOMB LOVE WORKSHOP

"CULTIVATING HIGHER WOMB CONSCIOUSNESS"

Our WOMBS are in a STATE of EMERGENCY! This is a declaration to suspend abnormal functions and activities around the womb and to change our destructive and disempowering WOMB habits, attitudes & behaviors. Our wombs are imbalanced - cold, stagnant, blocked, polluted, wounded and in need of replenishing. The conditions of the waters of the earth, the weather patterns, the disharmony between the masculine and feminine energies - all these are mirroring the consciousness of our WOMBS. This is infecting and poisoning our RELATIONSHIPS, our CREATIVITY, our CAREERS, our ability to LOVE our selves and each other and it's destroying the universal WOMB and that of our EARTH MAMA!! YES, YOU carry the WHOLE WORLD in YOU!

The "CULTIVATING HIGHER WOMB CONSCIOUSNESS" Workshop gives you the tools and resources to BE in & LIVE from a Higher WOMB Consciousness so that you can LIVE & MOVE from your WOMB POWER; be the CHANGE that is required, live more freely within your own body, CREATE abundance through the WOMB - creative center, MANIFEST our dreams and pave the way for our children & future generations to live in love, wellness and peace on earth. After all....YOUR HEALTH IS YOUR WEALTH!!

This workshop will heighten your perception and deepen your awareness of the sacred bowl and divine space within you, it will help you explore the many dimensions of the WOMB that remains a mystery; you'll learn of the womb's connectedness to the MOON, the EARTH and ENVIRONMENT, your RELATIONSHIPS, your CREATIVITY, your overall HEALTH & WELL BEING. You'll learn hands-on techniques for SELF-CARE, PREVENTATIVE HEALTH & WHOLE WELLNESS. You'll unleash the treasures that are hidden inside your magical WOMB world which lies deep within the SOUL of your body!

Afrikan Orgasmic Alchamy Healing on E-SENSUAL LIVING!

Wombn healers have always managed to find ways to offer their healing gifts to others in need and want throughout time – from their own families, friends, loved one, communities and country. Sometimes they are rewarded with authentic appreciation, soul-stirring transformations and love-sent income, yet more and more healers are feeling the heaviness of the potent energies that are moving in place for the grand event of the TRANSFORMATION of HUMANITY. Yes, women are able to keep the “face” and even the appearance of “having it together”(the internet/technology can make colorful what is gray in real life) even though they are falling apart inside. Why is this so?


HEALERS ARE IN DIRE NEED OF HEALING!



This week we are joined by special guest, Nubian-Khamite Priestess & Internationally sought after Healer’s Healer, Nut Tmu-Ankh Butterfly Dreaming, creator of The Temple of Wombn and Afrikan Orgasmic Alchamy Healing. We take a keen look at the sexual trends and history of Africans (all over the world), their sexual expressions from ancient times of being enslaved to the ways they have become enslaved by their own sexuality in modern times.

Join us on - E-SENSUAL LIVING! -Wednesday, August 25th at 4pm for tips and secrets to living ORGASMICALLY and unleashing YOUR own inner DIVINE DIVA!! This is a show that you will be a bit lost without! TUNE IN!!

My Contribution: The Food & Sex Link
by: Angelique Shofar
Edited by: A. Breeze Harper

The book is finally out! 5 years ago Breeze Harper, whom I met online through the Sistah Vegan network, asked me to contribute to her anthology. At the time I was "The Sexual Griot", still am except that I've added the sensual element to my title making me "The Sex-Sensual Griot". My focus was and still is on healing through pleasure and the sacredness/spiritual aspect of Loving, Relating and Sexuality.

I had no idea that the details of this journey would turn out the way it did. As you know, we all grow (well at least some of us do) and years later, earlier this year to be exact, I got an email from Breeze requesting my bio as well as a note stating that the book would be published first part of March 2010. It was somewhere around the end of January or February when the publisher, Martin Rowe of Lantern books sent me an email with my contribution attached asking me to edit my portion. Can you imagine how much more juicy stuff I wanted to add after having grown and even expanded over the years since the conception of the book. Well, I was disappointed when the response was no.

This book has inspired me to write even more and to further expand on the topic "The Food & Sex Link!" So I will keep writing, experiencing and share as I go along because food does have a direct and profound impact on our sexual health and sensual wellness. What's even more amazing is that I am about to make a major lifestyle change to the RAW side and this alone will take me to a sexual sphere that is beyond this lifetime. (wink)

Let me add that I am only a small part of this book. Breeze Harper has done a phenomenal job at the attempt to begin to convey the political, economical, social, and racial ramifications around food consumption and who we were and who we have become today as people of African descent. So many beautiful vegan sistahs have shared their path, their start to more wholeness through their contribution. It is their story that I want you to read, as well, because together our stories will open up a new world to you whether or not you practice veganism or not. Know that this book will change you forever. But don't take my word for it, read it yourself.

So to all my friends, associates, followers, those who truly believe in me and my creative healing works and those who have just stumbled across my playbook and my world.... I ask that you purchase the book here through my site. It's easy! And it's worth the investment of $21.00

Oh yes, and after you've read it, do share your reviews and comments here.

Thank you for being YOU!!

In joy, love & light!
