Arisika Razak is a midwife, healer and spiritual dancer who has led healing workshops for women for over twenty years. Her work is dedicated to reclaiming the power and sacredness of the female body and her dance celebrates the faith of the ancestors, contemporary struggles for liberation, and the transformative gifts and challenges of embodied female existence: menstruation, sexuality, childbirth, menopause, aging and loss. An Associate Professor of Women’s Spirituality and Integrative Health at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, Arisika is a contributor to several books, and presents at numerous conferences on the subjects of women’s health and healing, embodied spirituality and movement, and multiculturalism and diversity. Rashani Chandra Alexandre, PhD, MBA, is the founder and executive director of SHARANYA, a nonprofit dedicated to the reclamation of the Divine Female. A hereditary witch and priestess of the Old Religion, Chandra received her introduction to women’s mysteries from her grandmother. Since 1998, she has explored the embodied spiritual traditions of India and received diksha (initiation) in India into both dualistic and non-dualistic forms of Tantra. She continues to bridge east and west in her life and practice, helping reveal the relevance of Devi for our time and aiding westerners in respectfully approaching the living goddess traditions of India. |
