Summer 2010 News!

I’m looking forward to a full schedule this summer of classes, workshops and book readings throughout California and the Pacific Northwest.  Please join me if you can – or help me organize an event in your area!

I’ve enjoyed giving my Awakening Shakti workshops at the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn, and have booked summer dates for 6/26, 7/17 & 9/25. At home in the Goddess Garden Sanctuary I’ll be offering the Solstice Serpent of Light (Advanced Somatic Tantric Dance Workshop) on June 19.

I’m working on dates for workshops and book readings in Ashland, Seattle and Vancouver during late July and early August. Everything is a bit in flux, but with the grace of the Goddess, it will all work out and I’ll be able to share my gifts with students and friends in that beautiful part of the continent. If you’re interested in attending a class or workshop, or helping to arrange book readings or other events, please email or call me!

And the latest news: Conscious Dancer Magazine just published a fabulous review of my memoir in their June 2010 issue – see this page!

Book Launch at Open Secret - a fun evening!

My book launch event at Open Secret bookstore in San Rafael on November 28, 2009 was a wonderful event, exhilarating and exhausting (at least for me). It was a great opportunity to look back on my life and work (so far!) and perform, read from my book and share videos and slides.

Here are some photos taken by John Kalb of the evening:

Thank you to the many people who made this evening a success!

Spring Equinox

Equal Day, Equal Night- First the Darkness then the Light!

At last time to throw off the cloak of winter and shed our skins for spring. I am loving the green growing energy of grass and plants and buds on the trees accompanied by birdsong.

To celebrate this  season of renewal I am teaching a half day workshop Ancient Secret Mysteries of the Dance of the Seven Veils on Saturday March 21 from noon to 4 pm. 

donnabea-veils

I am delighted for this unique opportunity to offer  the esoteric principles behind this sacred (and often misunderstood) dance which honors the lineage of  Mary Magdalen, Salome, Ishtar and Innana. Come and luxuriate in your Feminine Divine self . Silk veils provided along with hand-outs and discussion of the secrets of the seven seals. Meditative dance to awesome music will inspire and uplift your spirits in an alchemical union with the Goddess!

I look forward  to the sweet embrace of sharing my gifts and knowledge with you. Call me for further information and to register. 415-479-3892

In joy,

Welcome to my new web site and blog!

I’ve been wanting a new look for a long time.

Eric finally got around to setting something up, new and fresh. I can even write my own blog, so I’m excited. I’m just getting started!

Check out the page with my Sacred Feminine Somatic Series class – it’s almost full. We’ll be doing some wonderful explorations of body, mind, spirit and art.

My trip to Malta is going to be amazing. We’re working out the details. Contact me if you’re interested.

Recently we began posting video clips of many of my dance performances on YouTube. We linked to them on the Dance Videos page. It’s so nice that they can live again, online, for all to see.
