Shownotes  The moment Henika realized she was disconnected from her body The power of Tantra to guide you back home to yourself How worshiping the darkness of the Goddesses expands devotion The deepest gift Tantra gave to Layla Channeling your sexual energy into different areas of your life How to embody the energy of the Goddesses    Bio Henika is the founder of the School of Sensual Arts, which invites you into deeper sensuality and intimacy so you can experience more connection, aliveness and joy in yourself, your relationships and your life.  She creates experiences, community and education based on authentic Tantra and yoga philosophy from her lineage along with therapeutic art and psychology. This unique blend offers expression to all the unspoken parts of ourselves which long to be known, heard and accepted.  Henika is a first generation Indian Woman born in England who grew up in a household abundant in the ancient Indian arts and spirituality. After experiencing numbness and depression following a series of personal losses, she left the corporate world and returned to her roots, spending several years living and studying in Asia, India and the Far East.  She returned to England and began her studies in arts therapy and clinical psychotherapy for individuals and couples, and now creates spaces for deeper connection to self, sensuality and spirit through Tantra yoga, bodywork, embodiment and art. As an indigenous practitioner, she is also a thought leader on the topic of cultural appropriation of Tantra and yoga and provides education on driving more cultural appreciation in the wellness world through her workshops, programmes and social media.  Her book SENSUAL will be published on May 21st, 2024, by Hay House and is now available for pre-order from all major bookstores and online outlets.
