Kali: Dance of Rage and Desire

This presentation explores Goddess KALI in her unknown avatar of the dancing goddess who holds passion and desire. Along with her fierce destructive form, we explore how she holds the projection of the human shadow that has the untamed capacity for violence and darkness.

A short video of the KALI festival from Kerala, India, takes you on a journey to the heart of tantra, bringing alive the archetypal image of the goddess, and how she lives in the human psyche today – unknown and untouched. The Hindu mytho- cultural frame presented, opens a bridge for one to access their desire as you hear the story of love and war and how she embraces the inner lover in the dance of desire.

KALI today becomes an image for the collective to ponder as she holds the polarity of being a dark void that evokes terror, holding the projection of the unending greed, lust and destruction and at the same time becoming a container that can hold the darkness like a womb to create life. Join me in this evocative journey which brings alive the oral tradition from India through myth, art and poetry.
