Trained
from childhood in the Classical Western arts of Ballet,
Opera and Theatre, after receiving a diploma
from the Peabody Conservatory of Music, a B.A. in Theatre
from the University of Maryland and an M.A. in Education
from George Washington University, Sharron became a member
of New York City’s vital dance/theatre/performance
art scene. She then moved to Boston where she became
known for her innovative multicultural dance/theatre/video
productions, which wove together the realms of psychology,
technology, myth, history and social criticism. This
work was supported by the Rhode Island State Council
on the Arts, the Boston Arts Lottery and the Cambridge
Arts Council. She began her studies in Classical Indian
Dance, Music, Yoga, and Mythology in 1978.
From 1983-1988, with the assistance of a professional development
grant from the American Institute of Indian Studies (1983-84),
and a Fulbright Senior Research Fellowship (1986-88), she
began extensive research into the art, culture and spiritual
traditions of North India. During this time she was accepted
as the first American disciple of India’s legendary
Kathak dancer and early Bollywood film star, Sitara Devi
and was initiated into a sacred tradition of the ancient
feminine Yogic Arts that had been handed down from teacher
to student for thousands of years. |

Since
that time of introduction and initiation she
has consistently sought out other remnants
of these teachings in traditional cultures throughout
the world. From Chögyal Namkhai Norbu, Tibetan
master of Tantra and Dzogchen, she was introduced
to the Primordial Tradition of the ancients and
learned the transformational practices created
to purify the mind and body and awaken one to
their true Divinity. With Dr. Robert Masters
she investigated
trance techniques, his Psychophysical Method
of Neuro-sensory Re-education, the realm of healing
and the Egyptian Mysteries. With Bengali tabla
master, Shashank Bakshi, She studied Indian Classical
vocal music and deepened her perception of the
effects of sound and vibration on the luminous
energy field. For the past thirteen years, together
with her husband, hermetic scholar and filmmaker
Jay Weidner, she has done extensive research
into
the Western Traditions of Alchemy, Gnosticism,
and the Kabbalah. |

I pay homage to my Guruji,
Sitara Devi, Queen of Kathak dance, who introduced
me
to the radiant path of the Temple Priestess. To my
teachers, Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche, Dr. Robert Masters,
Shashanka Bakshi, my husband
Jay Weidner, my parents, and to the goddesses, dakinis,
and ancestors who have allowed me to be a conduit
for
their sacred teachings.
May the lotus feet of
the great masters continuously walk upon the earth.
May all beings be filled with grace, joy, abundance
and bliss. |
