International Women’s Day Celebration ~ Oxford
Book NowWonderful Women, you are warmly invited to join us in celebrating your feminine heart and the joy of being a woman!
This year, on International Women’s Day, Tara Oxford will host an event rejoicing in the different aspects that encompass femininity. The intention of International Women’s Day is to celebrate women, and this intention is greatly aligned with the principles of Yoga and Tantra, inviting all women to come together. Part of bringing that sentiment alive is to explore and honour what it is to be feminine in all aspects of life.
The Tantric path venerates women as an embodiment of the Great Feminine Energy in the Universe, known in the Tantric tradition as Maha Shakti.
On this special day, we have the opportunity as women to shine as the goddesses we truly are and can be, through simply being together, learning from each other and enjoying all that it is to be feminine! This day is aimed to nourish your feminine Soul with creativity, heartful connection, sensuality, beauty and joy!
Through the numerous wonderful ways we can connect to our feminine nature, we come to realise that all women are unique – the many parts that make up a beautiful mosaic of femininity.
We look forward to being together and celebrating with you!

Meet the teachers
Edrisa began her spiritual journey in 2016, following an intuition that there is much more to life, and by curiously applying the Tantric and yogic teachings she quickly and profoundly transformed her life. After a year of intense daily practice, Edrisa began to feel a strong desire to help others discover their own spiritual revelations. She has organised spiritual theatre groups, and women’s circles that focused on awakening femininity and the art of initiatic dance. Edrisa is fascinated by the potential each one of us holds within, and she is keen to help others find the spiritual meaning in their life. She enjoys both stepping into the intensity of life and savouring it in all its nuances, as well as retreating into silence in nature, where she can contemplate the essence of creation in its utmost simplicity.

Iulia discovered yoga relatively early in life which comes across in the strong sense of spiritual purpose, positive attitude and joyfulness she radiates. Since that beginning in 1993 she has travelled extensively while maintaining a rigorous practice of Yoga and Meditation, enjoying and demonstrating the benefits of such a practice for women everywhere. She is overjoyed to now call Oxford home and is doing her bit to warm the hearts of academics from all over the world, teaching yoga there.

Elizabeth has always been fascinated by different aspects of spirituality, and found the courses at Tara answered many of her questions, put everything into perspective, and provided a comprehensive understanding of many spiritual ideas. She started with Tara in 2005 and began teaching five years later. She co-runs our Centre in Oxford, and very much enjoys welcoming new students to our community and seeing their inspiring transformations.

Journeys of Awakening Shakti (podcast)
A vital part of a woman becoming her true, authentic self is to embrace the gift of Shakti, and connect with the creative life force inside her being, that is waiting to be activated.
For many women there is a moment when the desire to fully awaken becomes powerful and insistent. The question then is, what to do next?
Tantra provides many answers, many techniques to support and maintain this awakening, including the opportunity to be in a community of women who are learning to open their hearts and indeed their whole beings, to Shakti; learning to see what is beautiful in others.
