Shakti Malan

click for Dragon's Nectar Tantra workshop - 11 - 13 June 2010

I was raised up in Afrikaans Protestant culture, and am grateful for parents who raised me with significant freedom in my early years. My first immersion into meditation practice came through the Christian Mystical tradition, for which I have deep appreciation. Tai Chi and yoga taught me the beauty of presence in the body, and how to follow the wisdom of the body-mind. Dancing, and particularly Biodanza, really opened me to the passion that flows through our cells, and that enables such deep creativity. Life also brought me significant work with Shamanism (Native American, Celtic and African traditions), which opened my eyes to the multi-dimensionality of our world, and the worlds beyond.

At the end of 2001 I had a series of experiences that made is clear to me that my life I about only one thing: awareness, awakening – and that catapulted me into my path as a Tantrika. Through visions I was told that my real name is Shakti, and that this name carried the direction of my work in the world*. Then followed four years of deep immersion in spiritual practice. Like the old Christian desert fathers, I went to live in the desert for a while, and went through a significant dissolving of self. Here my Tantra practice started. In 2003, I met Leslie Temple Thurston**, an Advaita*** teacher whose processing and meditation techniques have radically changed my life.

My attention kept being pulled back to Tantra work, and I had the opportunity to work with several teachers – from the Healing Tao tradition of Mantak Chia, and from the Neo Tantra tradition of Osho. Finally I met Rahasya, who has been my master in this field, and the one who initiated me into the practicing life of a Tantrika. From the day I started seeing clients and running workshops, a new blossoming occurred in my life – a deep knowing that I am following my dharma, and a gratitude for the totality of presence that this work brings. I have a Ph.D. in Social Anthropology, practice also as a social sustainability specialist, and am a trained teacher and process work psychology facilitator.
