An analogy I'm playing with is that of the human being compared to a battery. Batteries have both positive and negative poles and do not function without them. The power, or potential (from the Latin word for power, potent), exists as the energy released when there is flow between these poles. While nothing flows a battery is only potential and otherwise effectively dead.
Almost the eve of Shakti's departure for her UK/America trip and she asks if I would facilitate her dance class. An instinctual body reflex drags in a lungful of air as though I've just met with a bucket of ice-cold water. I have no training in facilitating a dance class. Absolutely nothing. And, for many who attend this weekly event, it is a sustenance almost as vital as the air they breath. This would be a Huge Responsibility and so of course, I say YES!
A request to men and women for input - your contribution is valuable and greatly appreciated.
Scheduled for November are two-day men's workshops in Durban, Johannesburg and Cape Town called On Being Man. These events are an invitation to men interested in their personal development as men, deepening connection to inner-strength, vitality and masculine presence in life and love. It is an opportunity to fill gaps from early development, providing an introduction to and direction for a masculine potential men are willing to strive for and are proud to be.

My one-year process of bringing awareness and focus to the life I live has begun. There is a small group of us doing this, scattered around the globe, and we were asked to do something to mark the beginning of our journey together.

The Tantra Foundation courses, designed by Shakti, provide an opportunity to practice the fundamental principles of Tantra systematically over time with a group of people. This will considerably deepen your learning and the integration of Tantra practice in your life.
The three courses are based on the seven main objectives of Tantra practice and follow a logical progression. The first starts with processing and enactment of what is in the unconscious (Course I) and then continues to the integration of masculine and feminine within us (Course II). Only when this work is done, are students ready to approach the sexual meditation of Tantra (Course III).

Stephen is available for sessions to those on a path of self-awareness and seeking the support offered by a Tantrika.
Listening to Niall Campbell and Nicola Robins in Rain Only Falls into Beauty reminded me of an adolescent awareness I'd forgotten. The energy of chaos held an excitement, an anticipation of something to come. When things appeared stable and orderly, going well, I sensed a possible complacency, of becoming unaware.
