Shantam BFA, CMT, Master Hynotherapist & Internationally renowned, WABA certified Aquatic Bodywork Therapist and Instructor was asked by her spiritual teacher, Adyashanti, to share with others on the path of Self Realization in the Non-Dual tradition. She exudes a kind, compassionate Presence and a profound love of Truth. In combination with warm water therapy, she shares meditative Self-Inquiry, encourages Feeling-Awareness within the body and endorses the embrace of Life AS our greatest teacher.

Subsequently, Shantam has created Fluid Presence®, an integrative, holistc water and land based approach to spiritual mentoring and conscious embodiment. She recognizes that the sentinece of the water itself carries teachings that can actually support and nurture extraordinarly deep relaxation, which naturally invites a direct experience of our Essential Nature.

With a gentle, intuitive ability to communicate from the heart, Shantam offers encouraging support, insight and a wealth of personal experience in service to the intrinsic wholeness that we already are.

Imagine a warm, liquid world where your body is gently floated, listened and attended to.... an invitation to dive deeply into the experience of your own unique rhythm and experience the ultimate in relaxation. Where time suspends amid effortless weightlessness and dynamic movement while guided by safe, supportive and loving arms.

The deep freedom which can be experienced here is an ideal state to become compassionately intimate with any holding patterns, whether physical, emotional or mental and open to the precious, present moment reconnecting with the joy of your essential nature. Shantam will guide you on the journey that is right for you. Whether this is to stay at the surface of the water, or to explore going underwater, great care is taken to sensitively introduce you to this profound modality.

"I am honored to share Fluid Presence® with you and to assist you in exploring the grace of Presence through the fluidity of the water: inviting you to embrace the continuous unfolding of the 'mysterious moment' fully present with your mind, body, emotions and breath; Awake to all that is from the stillness within. From this place of loving acceptance; physically, mentally and emotionally, you can access your own innate wisdom and ability to love, heal and live from a place of wholeness and completeness. From here, you can experience the deepest connection on all levels to all aspects of your life. Through this connection, your life, your purpose, and your work - everything - becomes an inspired practice of being rather than one of doing. This is a return to the heart, a return to the innocence of who is underneath whatever beliefs you may have held about yourself. Remembering who you truly are is rediscovering the freedom to live and embody the ease and joy of your true nature."
