Welcoming you, beautiful human <3

What is Slow Serpentology?

Slow Serpentology is a guided, embodied interdisciplinary space where Deep Somatics (expanded upon below) & Nervous System Regulation meet Native Classical Tantra, Dance, and the Emotional & Energy Body (also sometimes called the “Subtle Body”). 

An experiential BodyMindSoul Temple & Laboratory of Slowing Down, Listening, Meditation, Breath, Voice & Sounding,  Dance, Awakening the Sensorial Body, Gravity, Touch, Awareness, & the Unknown.

An Energetic & Ritual inquiry through the Nervous System (PolyVagal Informed) into our inner Waters & the subtlety & vibration of feeling the fullness of our own “Energy” Body.

It is the curiosity & fascination of the possibility to RE-source from our own “Soma” (meaning “Body” in Greek)  And also “mystery Elixir” in Sanskrit (which is one of the languages I’m a long-term student of :-)).

Embracing Letting go, Softening, Listening, getting out of the linear mind, the Yin (Receptive), our Voice & Subtle Energy, Awareness, Dance, & Pleasure as tools for gentle self-inquiry.

Connecting with fertility of our inner tremors & vibration (Spanda),  the creativity & power of our inner Serpent, vital life-force energy (or Kundalinī).

Why Slow Serpentology?

Sometimes, instead of outward growth and upward climb, life at times must turn Inward & “Root”-ward, especially during times of inner & outer transition, in order to emerge in other ways.

To regulate our Nervous Systems.

To reconnect with our heart’s deeper longing. Or to shed skins that may no longer serve. To listen to the softer voices of our “Soul”, if you are so inclined. Or to root ourselves in the soil of deeper union with the constellation of inner polarities & the waters of sacred inner union. 

Bringing together powerful modalities that foster attuned &  resonant Embodied nervous system experiences & shifts bottom up (i.e from Body to Mind) in the Heart, Body, Belly/Womb, Root, Soul, & Mind including:

• Deep Somatics (PolyVagal Theory, Nervous System & Fluid System Embodiment,  Embryology, & NeuroScience)
• Classical Non-Dual Tantra (from a native perspective)
• Awareness of the Emotional & Energetic Bodies
• BioEnergetics
• BreathWork
• VoiceWork & Sounding
• Trauma-Informed Neuro-Affective Embodiment
• Meditation 
• Sexual Shamanism & the Temple Arts
• Soul Awareness
• Dance (Argentinian Tango, Sacred Dances, & Movement Improv)

What happens at Slow Serpentology?

“Serpentology” means the study of “snakes”. In the context of this experiential, it is curiosity & permission, & recognition that when we slow inwards & “root-wards”,  connecting with our life force energy (Kundalini or Chi) is our birthright. 

The keystones of this experiential are about developing healthy boundaries, empowered consent, and choosing to participate experientially to the level you choose to lean in or out.  You are ALWAYS at Choice to choose your level of participation.

We will:

• Explore regulating the Nervous System (Polyvagal -informed).
• Explore the Emotional Body & Energy Body
• Dive into our inner Waters & Fluid Systems (for example, CerebroSpinal fluid (CSF), Blood, Fascia, etc)   
• Subtle inner massage + voice + meditation + fluid energy consciousness process.  You will experience liquid, subtler, deeper states of consciousness & the capacity of the nervous system to self-heal.
• Explore the inter-connection between Trauma (with a big or small T) ,  the Tools (BioEnergetic Emotional Express & Release), & cultivating your own practice. There will be opportunities/invitations to participate in consensual touch to explore the Sensory body and you can choose to lean in or lean out.

What will I take home?

• Simple Tools (see next) to embody & regulate your own Nervous System
• Active (Yang) & Yin (Receptive) BioEnergetic Emotional Express & Release Tools to access more life force energy, aliveness, & embodied states of flow.
• Understanding the value of using Tools to access spontaneous “Recovery Responses” (some of which are colloquially called Glimmers) in the Body to unblock or nourish the Nervous System 
• Identifying “Glimmers” – spontaneous, usually nonlinear “Recovery responses” from body to mind
• Awareness of the Emotional Body & the Energy Body 
• Opportunities to increase the pleasure ceiling of your body to be more in the present
• Ability to expand & deepen your intimacy in relating with yourself and/or your partner/s or wider community/ecology.

About Samantha Ananda (Team)

Rudely awoken in 2010 since then I’ve been on a conquest for truth, unlearning everything that I’d known that deep down never sat comfortable within my soul. I’ve travelled through the darkness to reach the dawn of light, learned alot of lessons along the way & I’m so grateful to be here on earth in this Avatar body realising that life is even more magical, more powerful & more supportive than I could of ever have even dreamed of as even a child.
