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 ten 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. |

These
years of research and experience in the sacred
science of the ancients provided her
with a great deal
of knowledge and understanding of the role of woman
and the Goddess in ancient civilizations; the sacred
dance
and music, yogic, tantric and alchemical practices
and rituals, myths and symbols of these civilizations
as
well as a body of knowledge known as Women’s
Mysteries. Due to her knowledge and expertise in
these ancient arts,
as well as her ability to assist in developing programs
to foster harmonious dialogue between people of diverse
cultural and religious backgrounds, she has served
as consultant to the National Endowment for the Arts,
and

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. |
