Born in Jerusalem, Israel, and descended from a long line of spiritual healers, Parashakti moved to the United States, where she spent two years studying yoga and living at the ashrams of Integral Yoga. Her yogic lifestyle drew her also to the study of Native American healing arts, whose inspiration led her to develop the powerful, life-changing process known as Dance of Liberation®. The Dance of Liberation integrates shamanic journeying, hands-on healing, drumming, global music, sweat lodges and fasting to dissolve participants’ physical, mental, emotional and spiritual blockages to joyful life.
Parashakti has worked with over 10,000 dancers from around the world and led workshops and retreats at some of the world’s leading holistic centers including: The Tree of Life (Arizona), Esalen Institute (California), Jivamukti Yoga School and the Omega Institute (New York), Alexis Zorbas Retreat Center (Greece), Zorba Festival (Israel) and Hermecillo (Mexico). Currently, she is co – facilitating One World Spirit Dance at the Tree of Life in Arizona and in Israel with Dr. Gabriel Cousens, her teacher and mentor.
