Hello my beloved sisters,
and welcome to the Reverent and Ratchet portal!
I am creating this space because I feel we are in a time of letting go of internalized dogma.
Especially dogma that we unconsciously hold ourselves & others to. For example, the good girl, the bad bitch, or any other limiting box in between.
The thing about unconscious holding patterns is that the only real way to access it is, make it conscious, & integrate it is through the soma...
the mysterious place where the body, the nonverbal and the expressive meet.
As women today, our full essence is NEEDED more than ever.
And it's up to each of us to go into our soma to uncover, rediscover and LEAD from that place of wholeness, compassion and appreciation for our FULLNESS.
From there we can offer others the same respect, reverence and allowance. With true integrity of knowing ourselves, we are able to lead others.
As a womxn today, have you felt...
A desire to stop judging, hiding or bouncing between different parts of yourself depending on the situation?
A desire for deeper embodied peace by knowing and loving all of you?
A desire for more dynamic expression in the women’s work available to you? Perhaps, wanting it to be more inclusive of all of you?
Have you wanted a place to express your fullness, your rawness, and your authenticity?
Or support in accessing it, especially through your BODY, your MOVEMENT and your DANCE?
Do you desire more play, sexiness, and sacredness in your life, all at once?
If so, join us for this transformational journey.
More than anything I want to see womxn respected, revered and remembering we are the REAL leaders of energy.
And to receive this rightful respect, we need to be in our AUTHENTIC expression. Our fullness. Fully owning it. Not playing down some parts of us to get by. Not exaggerating other parts of self to be accepted or get the job.
To be in our essence, which by nature is
reverent, ratchet, raw, eloquent, & everything in between.
The more we claim this as our birthright and personal power, without backing down, apologizing, or over-explaining, the more we can unite, mutually support one another, and LEAD.

It is time to hold ourselves in our sexual, sensual, creative yumminess,
without loosing ourselves to another or others or faking it!

In this 5 week journey, we are using DANCE, PARTS WORK & PLAY to unravel the stigmas we have unconsciously
internalized.
M O D U L E S
I - UNWINDING DOGMA
Sometimes we just need to get the story off our chest and move it through our body. In this opening circle, we will share some of our sticky incidents where we felt judged, disconnected or stuck for being in our fullness. After each share, we will have a chance to dance together to move it through our body; learning how to ground yourself into your power through the body and breath so projections and stories can’t stick to you any longer. (modalities: shaking, somatic dancing + dynamic neuromusclar breathing)
II - DANCING W. ANGER & SHAME
Lets look at how history has shaped our society to groom women into categories such as sacred or profane. Lets look at our own upbringings and our familial lineage to see what patterns we’ve continued, where we took hard 180’s from, and how it’s influenced our life. And then lets write a new script. In this session we will embody the most ratchet and the most reverent aspects of ourselves. We will give them a VOICE, we will give them MOVEMENT and we will allow them to speak with one another to feel their fears, upsets, and desires. (modalities: dancing parts work)
III - MOVING SHAKTI'S SPIRAL FOR JOY & EASE
Landing in our strong pillar, and giving space for more of our expressive essence to blossom forward, we will dance our way to our cores. In this call we begin to explore how to channel shakti desire into prayer and holy devotion into our everyday street smarts. Imagine the two DNA coils beginning to spiral around one another. The easiest way to activate this double helix is through PLAY. (Modality: Dance of Self Touch, Group Choreography & Kundalini Meditation.)
IV - SECURE ATTATCHMENT & SELF LOVE
While we want to leave behind the compartmentalized versions of ourselves and welcome in our fullness of expression, we want to ensure that our explorations are rooted in a Secure Attachment to Self. Without it, we run the risk of our freed up shakti and open heart attaching with people, situations, projects, etc. who aren’t right for us. This is an important topic! Expressing our fullness means understanding how we relate to another fully, how we communicate our yes’s and no's, and ultimately how we love ourselves first. (Modality: Attachment Theory, Journaling, Partner Dancing in breakout rooms)
V - THE TRUE YOU & NEW VOWS
It’s like the afterglow of an orgasm! Ultimately after we welcome in ALL of us, we can also find the true us. Now that our operating system is upgraded to hold all of us in self love and compassion, what is left to be who we REALLY are? Beyond any ideas, wishes or programs, all that is left is the realness. On this closing call we look forward to how we want to share ourselves with the world, where we feel more confident being ourselves, and how we want to lead with this sense of fullness. A sacred celebration. (Modalities: Authentic Movement & Vow Ceremony witnessing each other)
I believe that everything that happens on the macroscale is in some way representative of the micro aka our personal data, beliefs and operating systems.
And it’s up to us to clear these systems within ourselves, our DNA, our relationships
so we have the energy to sustain changing them on the external.
And guess what?
We are stronger together
so lets do this together.

There’s so much more life to life beyond our traumas and patterns.
There are people who want to love you. There are forests that want to frolic you. There are songs that want to sing you. There are kind, deep, passionate friends that want to hold you. There are ears that want to hear you. There are sunrises that want to see you. There are orgasms that want to have you. There is dirt that wants to digs you. There is a flower that wants to smell you. There is a mouth that wants to taste you. There is wine that wants to sip you. There is a floor that wants to dance you. There is a heart that wants to know you. There is an ocean that wants to swim you. There is, I promise, there is. There is a life that wants to live you. A god and goddess that want to show you. There is a purpose that wants to breath you. Can we let it in, let it in , let it in? Open are cages, set down our protections and Let it in, let it in, let it in. Forget our stories, make peace with the pain and Let it in, let it in, let it in. A life that wants to live you. A family that wants to have you. A tribe that needs you. A bird that flies you. A love that guides you. Let it in, let it in, let it in. - All my love, Ashtara |

"I had the pleasure of participating in Ashtara's classes recently. I am left feeling very fulfilled, in my Bones & Muscles, as well as my Heart & Spirit. There was so much more than just education happening, adventure. For 6 weeks, the Anticipation of being with this group was the highlight. The sheer fun and camaraderie kept building. Each class was masterfully arranged, executed professionally and one of the most memorable classes I've ever participated in. Mahalo so much!" - Cougar, December 2022
"Ashtara's series has played a significant part in achieving a new level of movement resulting in; further physical and psychological well-being. Throughout the series there was a sense of intention and reason into what was being taught and, the order as well seemed well thought out. She's in tune with her students pace and progress! I never felt lost unlike with many other movement teachers. Classes always made sure to check everyone’s pace and include everyone. I really loved the balance of learning techniques and playing to see what happened!" - Marina, December 2022
"The most rewarding part of dancing together in this container was the human connection. It just felt great to interact with new people in wordless play and feel the conversation of our bodies as we moved and responded to each other’s movement. I felt shy at first, but Ashtara's frank, real attitude, and the environment of acceptance inspired made me feel at ease. The levity in the group helped me to laugh through the sometimes uncomfortableness and focus on fluidity and movement." - Jesse Sky, December 2022
“This was my first container of this type and I had a very fulfilling experience. I felt a heart opening experience happening throughout the entire workshop. I experienced a feeling of playfulness and bringing back good memories of childhood. I highly recommend dancing with Ashtara.” - Harold Barrero, December 2022
"I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to be a student again. I’ve been teaching so much dance before moving to Maui, to have space to explore and deepen my own practice and not only that but strengthen my dancing with others has been so needed and healing. Especially love the way the container is held-no judgment zone, felt less like I had to be a trained dancer type like in other spaces, low stakes, and all the play:) This container supported me trusting my internal judgment, going slowly, listening to the other body with curiosity and allowing play. I would absolutely recommend working with Ashtara. She is making dance a healing modality.” - Becca Loevy
