The ancients knew fire as the first guru – our original teacher – the spiritual ancestor of all life forms, all beings across all continents. They honored the fire through ritual and practice, aligning themselves with the cosmic movement of light and consciousness in the dance of creation.

In this course, we tend to the invincible fire within us, as expressed through the bija (source or seed) mantras AĪM, HRĪM, and KLĪM in alignment with the lunar cycles and the seasons. Through group practice and sacred study, we deepen our relationship with mantra, our guide – a shared experience from which we bravely explore, discuss and contemplate scriptures, ancient myths, and creation stories as a means to uncover and remember our connection to the awakened Feminine energy of the cosmos.

The Three Sacred Fires: Curricular Rhythm

The Fire of Self-Knowledge

The Fire of Self-Knowledge is the awakened Feminine cosmic energy of the bija (seed sound) "AīM" practiced at the third eye. In the harvest season of autumn, we enkindle the seed of inner wisdom, re-sourcing and replenishing the clarity of mind.

The Fire of Self-Worth

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, reclaiming the fullness of our inner richness.

The Fire of Self-Trust

The Fire of Self-Trust is the awakened Feminine cosmic energy of the bija (seed sound) "KLīM" practiced at the navel center. In the richness of spring, we enkindle the flame of intuition deep within our bellies, the seat of our invincible inner fire.

Autumn:

The Fire of Self-Knowledge

Awaken Jnana Shakti & The Self-Luminous Mind

The Fire of Self-Knowledge is the awakened Feminine cosmic energy of the bija (seed sound) "AīM" practiced at the third eye. In the harvest season of autumn, we enkindle the seed of inner wisdom, re-sourcing and replenishing the clarity of mind.

In alliance with Matangi – the Cosmic Feminine Energy of Unconditional Love + Acceptance – we bravely explore how the shakti (power) of Self-Knowledge acts as both the goal and the means to reveal and understand our fears, dis-ease and limiting beliefs. As we illuminate our karmic shadows, we reclaim our own unique power to see, know, and transform the stories of past, present and future. We remember and re-cognize the brilliance we have otherwise forgotten or hidden away.

Each Group Practice + Study session will focus on a particular mantra and melody for chanting and include satsang "being in the company of truth" wherein we dive deep into Tantric philosophy, break down scriptural teachings and examine how to nourish and heal the forces of mind, re-sourcing our spiritual sovereignty from a place of inner unity, peace and equanimity for ourselves as well as the collective. Open Office Hours will allow for additional questions, practice guidance, and one-on-one support.

Winter:

The Fire of Self-Worth

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.

Spring:

The Fire of Self-Trust

Awaken Kriya Shakti & Courage In Action

The Fire of Self-Trust is the awakened Feminine cosmic energy of the bija (seed sound) "KLīM" practiced at the navel center. In the richness of spring, we enkindle the flame of intuition deep within our bellies, the seat of our inner fire.

Allied with Durga – the Cosmic Feminine Energy of Fearless Fullness – we will bravely explore how the shakti (power) of Divine Courage illuminates our capacity to act from Source, strengthens our "gut" knowingness, and empowers us to choose freely and joyfully from the full field of possibility. Reconnecting to our power as the invincible light of the Goddess, we hold the brave space of unconditional acceptance and align with the forces of change to reveal and heal the stories of past, present and future. Together in practice, we reclaim the brilliance of our collective power to shed the illusion of separation and illuminate a new reality – one that holds us in greater resonance with Divine Mother Nature.
