This philosophy extends to her use of technology, which she views as a natural extension of human innovation.

Religious historian and Tantric practitioner Sravana Borkataky-Varma will lead experiential sessions largely stemming from Hindu Goddess Tantra practices. Award-winning author and scholar Erik Davis will then guide the group in reading and writing exercises, developing skills and techniques that will help us creatively express our embodied experiences. Exercises and opportunities will include: Chakra and subtle body meditations. Reading short texts to understand how writing engages subtle embodied experience. Using elements of writing, including metaphor, poetry, and spontaneous language, to capture and express your own inner work. Techniques to develop an ongoing writing practice that supports a deepening engagement with meditation and embodied life. Over the days, we will collectively cultivate a feedback loop between writing, discussion, and inner work. Through this alchemical process, participants will learn to more intimately and poetically clarify their subtle experiences, while at the same time using the power and energy of such practices to fire up and inspire their writing life.
