Sherri Mitchell Weh'na Ha'mu Kwasset
Awaken Iccha Shakti & The Radiance of the Heart
The Fire of Self-Worth is the awakened Feminine cosmic energy of the bija (seed sound) "HRīM", the resonant vibration of the heart. In the cocoon of winter, we enkindle this seed deep within to nourish our highest desires and reclaiming the fullness of our inner richness in alliance with Lakshmi – the Cosmic Feminine Energy of Abundance + Inner Radiance.
Together will bravely explore how the shakti (power) of Divine Intention both illuminates and this reveals and heals our ability to know our inherent worth and the unique gifts we have to bring to this world. Reconnecting to our power as the keepers of heart-based wisdom, we learn to hold sacred space and unconditional acceptance for the full field of our emotional landscape, illuminating our ancestral shadows and transforming the stories of past, present and future. As a collective, we remember and reclaim our wholeness – the brilliance we have otherwise forgotten or hidden away.
Each Group Practice + Study session will open with group meditation and chanting, followed by satsang "being in the company of truth" wherein we dive deep into Tantric philosophy, break down scriptural teachings and explore how to de-colonize, nurture and empower the radiant power of our heartfelt desires, for ourselves and the collective. Open Office Hours will allow for additional questions, practice guidance, and one-on-one support. No experience is necessary - these teachings are tailored for both new and experienced practitioners.

The Three Sacred Fires Course tends to and strengthens my connection to the highest source of wisdom that is deeply embedded in my being. Thank you, Stephanie, for creating this container of support that focuses on illuminating the power of my soul and spirit. I feel blessed to have you in my life!

Before beginning my studies Stephanie, I wasn’t even aware there was a reality of the Divine Feminine. I love mantra, and am in awe of the mysterious way it is creating a sense of ‘enoughness’ in me that I’ve only hoped for over many years. The depth of knowledge, the language, and perfect word choice that Stephanie somehow always seems to find opens me. I begin to melt into who I truly am. I feel such gratitude to have somehow been guided to this ongoing course and to Stephanie as a teacher.
