Practices for a mind in Union with the Heart
Traditional sādhana is a path of Beauty, courage, and fortitude. Each of these qualities is essential to engaging the transformative practices of Tantra, where Śakti is both the conduit and the power through which transformation unfolds.
Tantra is a living tradition, with many streams of practice, each bringing its own particular emphasis to the ways Consciousness expresses, experiences, and "tastes" itself. One of the great Mysteries within the heat of transformation is the dissolution of our habitual grasping, allowing us to experience more directly how Consciousness comes to know itself as us.
Yet this process can easily become contrived, or even performative, without an architecture or map to guide us. The paradox of this path is that it calls for profound surrender while simultaneously awakening our capacity for empowerment. This is why the map of lineage within traditional Tantra is so essential.
Through the teachings and lived experience of practice, we establish a context that brings coherence to both mind and body, allowing transformation to unfold as something embodied rather than merely conceptual.
Beauty becomes the Way.
Cultivating the ground for Traditional Tantric Sadhana
A hallmark of 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. The intelligence of embodied practice begins to flow out into daily life.
Sadhana is a daily approach to engaging with the Wisdom Consciousness (Deity) through mantra, yantra and rituals (such as pujas, homas and tarpanams) 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.

The Dakini Mandala of Mind & Emotion
Registration for live classes is closed and there will not be another program until 2028. If you are interested in working with the recordings for in-depth study at your own pace please email [email protected]
A dedicated program to work with the Elemental Dakinis to liberate obstructed emotion and taste freedom of a creative Self.
Awareness is the uncontrived, unattached recognition of the experience of movement as it ebbs and flows in it's natural state of rest.
Both obstructed and liberated experience have the same source. Space. Rather than fixing the situation in which we are caught, we look to the Dakinis and elements as guides to bring us home to a more liberated and content state of Being.
When we can be with and as 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. Instead of doing, we are becoming.
Kālī Sādhanā
Starting September 20, 2025
Registration open Registration Closed
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 and re-routes us to action that serves this living field of the Totality rather than actions that create more and more karma.

Ganesha sadhana
Registration Closed. Please join our email list for information when the course is next scheduled.
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....
