Monika Nataraj leads tantra retreats and women's transformational teacher trainings in 22 countries worldwide.  ​She weaves a holistic model of sacred empowerment, incorporating wisdom practices of dance, yoga, philosophy, meditation, ritual and inner work.   In 1999, Monika left her life in New York City, as corporate executive by day and professional dancer by night, to follow the call of her soul - she’s been studying and practicing with masters of Indian Tantra, Tibetan Buddhism, and Sufism for the past 18 years.    We talk:  

• Being a corporate executive by day and a belly dancer by night
• ​Following the inner voice that told her to quit her job and travel 
• ​Mystical Dance as experiencing spirit 
• Finding her root Tantric Teacher 
• Dance movement as a path of awakening 
• The Feminine principal of Surrender and why it can be so helpful 
• Spiritual Path as a personal path (no right and every person is different)
• Bringing dance and movement practices to nuns ​​

Monika has several retreats and teacher trainings coming up! Check them all out here. http://www.monikanataraj.net/
