ZOOM Friday Night Goddesses
with Rachel Dewan

The Yoga tradition is replete with the myth and folklore of the Goddesses. In her beautifully written and thoroughly researched book Awakening Shakti, Sally Kempton gives a rich guide in connecting with and utilizing the energy of the many faces and facets of the divine feminine presence that exists within and around us all. Using the brilliant wisdom in Sally’s book, this discussion group will meet monthly to discuss a particular chapter and its corresponding Goddess, exploring how her energy is already showing up in our lives, and ways of harnessing more of her power to inspire us in work and in play. 

This is a sadhana (spiritual study) group and we will not practice asana during these sessions.  We will utilize meditation, mantra, chanting, journaling and discussion to deepen our understanding of how we can awaken Shakti in our own lives.
