Awaken Live! Exploring the Divine Feminine: Wisdom, Power & Presence
Body as Temple
Across cultures and traditions, the Divine Feminine is honored as a force of creativity, intuition, and nurturing strength.
But what does it mean for us today?
In this session, we’ll explore the archetypes of the feminine in Yogic and spiritual traditions, from Shakti to Durga, and how they represent qualities within each of us regardless of gender. Together, we’ll discuss how embodying these qualities can bring balance, resilience and compassion into our lives, and close with a short practice to connect with this energy.
