THE TANTRIC TEN

Seema Anand
12 MAY 2024, 2.30PM

How can meditating on a goddess who has cut off, and is now holding, her own head, which is feeding on a stream of her own blood, whilst standing on the bodies of a young couple as they make love on a funeral pyre, lead us to the path of ultimate wisdom?

Mashing up performance, lecture and storytelling, Dr Seema Anand, journeys through cremation grounds, yogic practices, and death rituals, to decode the mysteries of the most fierce and most feared of Hindu goddesses - the Mahavidyas.

Expect life, death, creation, destruction and sacrifice, all in search of cosmic truth...
