Hi friends hope you are well, wherever you are.
Today, thousands of Shiva devotees are celebrating Maha Shivratri — the sacred night of Shiva and one of the most significant festivals in the Hindu calendar.
For me, Shiva represents the profound symbology of creating space. Through His form as Nataraja, the Cosmic Dancer, He stirs a whirlwind within the depths of our being, allowing what no longer serves our journey to be processed and released.
What remains is a field of stillness — a spaciousness where we can almost touch His presence, our own highest consciousness. It is the Shiva within us, the purusha that yogis speak of, the quiet strength of our inner masculine energy.
I invite you to take some time to be in your own presence — the part of you that is still, steady, and clear. Go for a walk, connect with nature, or play music that moves you to dance. And when the movement settles, simply sit and listen… listening to the rhythm of stillness.
Today I have been going through the dance sequence that I am sharing at Clayton Village Hall next Sunday (22nd Feb), refining the workshop content to give a nurturing yet energising experience to the participants.
There are a few more spaces open for those of you who would like to join this workshop and experience an amazing morning.
