“A life changing experience of self examination and growth while learning and understanding my masculine qualities and embracing them unapologetically. The whole experience handled with real love and care. The Shiva gods are so so so good!!!” (Pam)

​

“Learning and being with each male archetype has taught me all he has to give me and has brought my walls down and opened myself up to learn of all that is in me and all that I have to give. Blessed and grateful to have been apart of the transformative journey” (Dani)

​

“The Shiva Sequences have been a catalyst for healing the wounded masculine aspects of myself and my life experience. I have felt held and seen by both Anneriek and Robbie, who are beautiful facilitators and space holders. I felt safe to go to really deep in some of the practices and so supported by the group. This is the healing salve us as humans so desperately need.” (Jooles)

​

“I loved the Shiva program, it helped me explore and understand myself and others as well, It has helped me confront things in my past, no matter how small, face them and understand them. It has helped me be more free within myself and have a better outlook on things.” (Jeremy)

We live in a masculine world where we generally consider masculine qualities to be associated with ego, power, strength, and toughness, but that is not what masculinity is about. When the masculine energy is balanced and integrated, it has the incredible ability to create equanimity and space for both ourselves and others to feel safe to be authentic.

Balanced masculine energy is active, expansive, purposeful, protective and outward. In its wounded form tho we see dominance, aggression, misuse of power, and competitiveness. In many young boys it is easy to see the balanced masculine qualities, they are strong and active and extremely loving and tender at the same time.  Through pressures of society many of us get lost and forget. We think that being strong, contained and emotionless is the only option we have. Terry Real mentioned in his book ‘Fierce Intimacy’, “Girls lose their voice growing up. Boys lose their heart.” The balanced masculine is able to express compassion, empathy and deep feelings of love and care with ease. It presents itself within our discernment, displays in our courage, and thrives on structure, discipline, focus, and direction.

We all have masculine and feminine qualities, finding the balance is key to Wholeness. As women we need to develop our masculine powers and as men we need to keep this energy balanced and our heart connected.

​

In The Shiva Sequences you will work with 7 Hindu god archetypes, each representing a different aspect of the masculine. You already have all these qualities within you, however with some you feel more connected than with others. You might feel judgements or fear towards the ones you have not recognised yet within yourself.  Using these archetypes you can learn about your balanced masculine qualities, bringing contentment, compassion, courage and purpose into your life.
