The Story of the Universal Mother as told through these divine expressions over three days.
Oct 9th, 6pm-9pm: The Flow of Wisdom - Saraswati
Saraswati is the embodiment of vac, the primordial sound that births the universe. She is not merely a guardian of knowledge; she is Knowledge. Not the accumulating, hoarding kind, but the liberating kind. Whatever is crisp, refined, discerning, or beautifully articulated is considered an expression of her current. In the spiritual lineages of India, it is said that the scriptures, particularly the Vedas, did not originate from human authors. They are śruti, “that which is heard.” Saraswati is the one who opens the inner ear. She is the force that makes revelation possible.
In this workshop, we’ll awaken Saraswati’s creative current through mantra chanting, fluid movement, intentional mudras, and mythic storytelling. Together, we attune to our inner vibration and open the gateway for authentic expression and intuitive wisdom.
Oct 10th, 12pm-3pm: The Attitude of Abundance - Lakshmi
Lakshmi doesn’t simply symbolize abundance; she embodies the cosmic joke that everything you seek, you already are. Her presence invites us to relax our grip, soften our gaze, and rediscover the beauty woven into even the simplest corners of our lives. In this workshop, we enter the philosophical heart of Lakshmi, the recognition that prosperity is an attitude before it becomes an outcome. Through storytelling, imagery, chanting, and warm-hearted reflection, we’ll explore how gratitude refines perception, how beauty reorganizes our energy, and how generosity magnetizes the very support we long for. For the physical portion of this workshop, we’ll move through heart-opening shapes that invite us to choose love over fear, remembering that fear narrows our capacity to enjoy the blessings already present in our lives. Through expansive backbends and spacious upper-body sequencing, we will soften the grip of old grief, the looping “what ifs,” and the quiet “shouldn’t haves,” allowing them to dissolve back into presence.
After all, Lakshmi is the beloved consort of Vishnu, the Preserver, the one who teaches us to cherish what is here now. This practice is an embodied reminder to love the moment you’re in, return to the present time, and let abundance arise from your willingness to stay open.
Oct 11th, 12pm-3pm: The Love that Lasts Forever - Durga and Kali
In this workshop, we step into the unflinching presence of Durga and Kali, the final liberators on the spiritual path. They are the fierce Mothers who stand at the threshold of our deepest shadows, calling us to confront the illusions that bind us: shame, guilt, grudges, fear, clinging to past memories, and fantasies of what might have been. These are the chains of the ego, subtle, persistent, and deceptive, that keep us from resting fully in the eternal space of love.
To encounter Kali is to encounter the true death of the ego as we know it. Yet this death is not annihilation, but liberation, the shedding of false identities and the dissolution of limitation. With the unwavering strength of the Divine Mother, we are held, stripped bare, and reborn; like a child emerging for the first time, we are returned to existence free, radiant, and unbound.
Through storytelling, mantra, meditation, and embodied practice, we will move into the spaces where these illusions live, deep twists, internal investigation for the mind, and devotional chanting for the heart. This workshop is an invitation to surrender, to release, and to be reborn into a consciousness that no longer mistakes limitation for truth. Illusions fall away, remember who you truly are.
