“My first encounter with Shakti was a hug that was more than just a cursory embrace. Being held in her arms and ultimately in her heart, was a welcome home…Shakti Shiva Academy feels like an expression of Shakti’s heart continuing to invite all of us home.Shakti's laughter was contagious as we pranced and pounced and played during Blissdance. I know Rhianne to also bring this delicious joy that is simultaneously bold, exuberant, fine and delicate.Shakti used to ask me uncomfortable questions so we could explore the edges of where my stories end and where new realities were waiting to be born. These excavations are embedded in the courses that are core to Shakti Shiva Academy; so we can unmask, unravel and unleash all that wants to be lived.”

“Shakti Shiva Academy has truly been a balm for the soul as I feel the safety of accessing places and expressing in a way that is so intimate and real. Words can really not express the depth of my gratitude.”

“What a monumental journey! So much appreciation and love to all. To the facilitators - you are bold as brass to pioneer this important body of work which is so taboo, and so triggering, yet vital for the evolution of our souls. The course was led with such grace, wisdom, softness and gentleness and incredible containment for healing and transformation. This work is so needed in the global shift in consciousness, that is happening right now on our planet. Opportunities are constantly being presented to us, to discard layers of our constructed identities and biases that no longer serve us. To everybody that signed up to do some deep-diving - not only are we healing ourselves, but healing the world as we integrate into this new way of being.”

“I’ve taken all of Shakti Shiva Academy’s courses and I’m excited to be a participating student on this new Fundamentals of Facilitation Training course. Each course has allowed me to explore my sexual desire, encounter cultural taboo’s, integrate trauma and transcend duality. The journey has opened my eyes to the beauty of life.”

“The Shakti Shiva Academy opened-heartedly invited me into the folds of magic, discovery, ecstasy and responsibility. What an intense life shift to a new orientation to the world, my body, my mind, and my spirit. Slowing everything down has become a guide and a frequency I continue to turn to. Trauma responses from past patterning tend to be fast and automatic. The body can become obsessed with the submerged remnants of past traumas and tap our energy resources. Learning to catch the pace and my breath, has allowed me to access the playful dance between distress and ecstasy. To me, it feels like a remembering of something quite natural and primal. A net of trust holds me now instead of the desperation to find answers and resting into the folds of the unknown universe leaves me with endless beautiful questions.”

“When I discovered Shakti Malan, I felt an immediate YES. I'd been involved in the study of sacred sexuality, Taoism, and Tantra for over 15 years. I was certain that I'd finally found a teacher that could take me deeper into my work - both personally and professionally. Unfortunately, she passed a few months later. The world lost an extraordinary spiritual teacher and wise woman. Gratefully Shakti passed her work on to her team - a handful of sincere practitioners and gifted teachers who embody this work entirely. Shakti's work lives on and the team that continues her work is impressive.”

“Shakti Shiva Academy’s courses invite a deep dive into the intimacy you don’t dare to touch. You will encounter every desire, every taboo, every forbidden dream buried under the sheets of your youth, unchaining the wild beast of pleasure within. You will finally see yourself for who you are - you will drop the story, the fear, the shame - you will fall in love with yourself exactly as you are.”

“Shakti Shiva Academy offers true tantric courses built upon a deep understanding of sexuality. The facilitators are trustworthy professionals that have done thorough shadow work related to their own sexuality. A true jewel in the tantric / spiritual marketplace - you can’t go wrong taking a course with them.”
