Cultivating the ground for Traditional Tantric Sadhana
A hallmark of a living wisdom tradition (lineage) is that it is enlivened by the teacher-student relationship. The teachings of a tradition remain consistent through thousands of years and yet are enlivened by the experience of the teacher and their ability to give relevant teachings to the student at the right time. It is not enough to “parrot” information but to fully live it and Be it for lineage to flow forward to future generations. Teachings are also enlivened through a student’s practice and “tastes” unique on each person as the intelligence of the practice begins to flow out into daily life. When a sangha (spiritual community) is fully participating together in this way there is a living field of support and joy.
Sadhana is a daily approach to engaging with the Wisdom Consciousness (Deity) through mantra, yantra, rituals (such as pujas, homas and tarpanams) and how to be a student. These sadhanas are encompassing and will affect us at every level. Psychologically, emotionally and Spiritually.
Engaging with a living wisdom tradition allows the transformation of a limited mind entrenched in habitual suffering, to a mind creatively inspired by a global and ultimately a Universal point of view. This is the mind in Union with the Heart.
Kālī Sādhanā
Starting September 20, 2025
Details coming soon
Kālī is one of the most powerful and revered goddesses in the Hindu tradition, especially within the Śākta path, which honors the Divine Feminine as the supreme reality. For beginners, she might first appear fearsome: bloody, wild-haired, adorned with a garland of skulls and a skirt of severed arms, holding weapons and a freshly severed head. Yet beneath this fierce imagery lies a profound realization. No one is outside the field of Love.
Kālī is the raw, untamed power of dissolution. She is both time (kāla) itself—cutting through illusion, ego, and everything impermanent as well as what is beyond time. Her appearance is not meant to frighten but to awaken. She dissolves what blocks us from recognizing the field of love
This sādhanā offering is for experienced or current students Nita. Please click through for more details and information.
The Dakini Mandala of Mind & Emotion
coming late Fall of 2025
A year long program to work with the Elemental Dakinis to liberate obstructed emotion.
Awareness is the uncontrived, unattached recognition of the experience of movement- the movement of the arising and dissolving of thoughts in the continuum of Mind, the appearance and the disappearance of phenomena in the vastness of intrinsic space. There is only the sheer exquisiteness of this movement.
This is what we actually are.

Ganesha sadhana
February 4th & 5th, 2023
One of the most prominent qualities Ganesha is known for is the Removal of Obstacles. He is often invoked at the beginning of any endeavor for this purpose. He is also known as Ganapati which translates as “wedded to the senses.” His qualities of discernment allow us to be in the material world but helps us to keep our eyes on the Divine Mother. We will learn more depth teachings on Ganesh from the Shri Vidya orientation, learn his mantra and have guidance for a daily practice. For more information....
the importance of lineage in Tantra
Without the context of the lineage or an authorized teacher to illuminate these wisdoms for us then we run the risk of taking these teachings and trying to make them fit to our current capacity and worldview. Thus we run in circles and create even more tension to fit into a spiritual perfectionism. With the careful guidance of an authorized teacher to help us dismantle our current limiting identity constructs, the wisdom begins to shine through our direct experience and is integrated and digestible into our daily life. Action is effortless.
Nita Rubio is an initiated Yoginī in the Śrī Vidyā and Kaula schools of Tantra, traditions that honor and emphasize the living presence of Śakti in all aspects of life.
Her path is rooted in direct transmission and deep sādhanā, and she holds authorization to teach and transmit these sacred practices from Yoginī and Śrī Vidyā adept, Uma Parvatīnatha Sarasvatī. With unwavering dedication, Nita continues her studies under the guidance and grace of Uma Parvatīnath
Nita's areas of specialization include the sādhanās of the Daśa Mahāvidyās—the Ten Great Wisdom Goddesses—with particular emphasis on Chinnamastā, Bagalāmukhī, Mātaṅgī, Bhairavī, Durgā, Vārāhī, and the Ḍākinī Maṇḍala of the awakened mind.
These practices are not only devotional but alchemical, transforming body, mind, and subtle awareness through mantra, ritual, meditation, and embodied practice.
With a deep respect for the integrity of these living traditions, Nita approaches her teaching with great care and often large doses humor (stick around for that). Her classes are intimate initiatory spaces that invite sincere seekers into the heart of Śakti through the precise application of traditional techniques, while also honoring the modern practitioner's unique needs to bring practices into daily life.
Rooted in humility and reverence, Nita's work is an invitation into the radiance of one's own innermost essence.
Nita works primarily with private sanghas and occasionally schedules public teachings.

Having been a practitioner and master teacher for over 20 years of subtle body energy and embodiment through the vehicle of The Tantric Dance of Feminine Power founded by Vajra Ma, Nita’s focus always includes deep context for embodiment and Devotion. All are welcome.
May the Wisdom Streams of the Yoginis remain!
