Course Description
How much do you know about the divine feminine Hindu deities? Most of us know their names and some basic associations. Through these presentations, Douglas describes depictions and images that will draw you closer to the profound essence of who they are and what they are known for.  His goal for these offerings is to enhance your connection and relationship to these beautiful, sublime and powerful beings.
  • Durga – Warrior goddess
  • Parvati – Goddess of relationships
  • Kali – Destroyer of the unreal
  • Dumavati - Goddess of the Dispossessed
  • Bbhuvaneshwari – Goddess of space
  • Sarisvati – She who has flow; the divine muse
  • Lakshmi –She who leads to one's goal
If time allows, we may also review Radha – Passion for God through the beloved.

Awakening Shakti: The Transformative Power of the Goddesses of Yoga by Sally Kempton


How do you live a life of spiritual awakening as well as outer abundance, inner freedom as well as deep intimacy? How do you serve the world selflessly, yet passionately celebrate your life?
