A Nine-Portal Journey into the Wisdom of Ma

This course is  rooted in Mother-Line wisdom and drawn from oral teachings carried through matriarchal, Indigenous, non-binary lineages — teachings seldom translated with accuracy, tenderness, or lived experience. 

The Nav Durga are not decorative festival icons or mythic abstractions; they are sovereign embodiments of Shakta Tantra, each holding a complete teaching on subtle body anatomy, cosmic design, protection, empowerment, liberation, and the return to embodied human life. In this Temple, we restore them to their original brilliance — unbound by patriarchal reinterpretation and alive in their full potency as mothers, warriors, guides, and liberators.

Each session includes:
✨ A two-hour ceremony weaving Yoga Nidra, movement, ritual, and mantra
✨ A deep dive into one form of Ma Durga — her iconography, story, transmission, and empowerment
✨ A restful space to commune with the divinity within your own body
✨ A slow, experiential remembering of the cyclic path of birth, protection, destruction, renewal, and sovereignty
✨ A return to your intuitive knowing and the ancestral design encoded in your subtle body

We journey through the Nav Durga in their traditional ordering — from the youthful spark of Shailaputri to the radiant dissolution of Siddhidatri — revealing a step-by-step syllabus of awakening. Their teachings map the path from creation to Enlightenment and back again, guiding us through the portals of Durga Puja, Diwali, and Kali Puja with reverence and embodied understanding.

This is Tantra as it was meant to be practiced:
Rooted in Earth and ancestry.
Held by the Mother.
Transmitted through ritual, rest, story, and lived embodiment.

Together, we peel back the layers of distortion and meet these nine forms of Ma as they truly are: fierce, tender, protective, electrifying, compassionate, sovereign. As we honor them, we awaken these same nine potentials within ourselves.

Come remember your place in the lineage of the Nav Durga.
Come remember that She — Woman — Ma — is One.
Jai Ma!

A sacred immersion into the 10 Great Wisdom Mothers — the Dasha Mahavidyas — and the ancestral map of Tantra through the Mother-Line.

This course is a rare offering, drawn from oral teachings carried through matriarchal, Indigenous, non-binary lineages — teachings seldom found in books, translated here with care, reverence, and lived experience. The Dasha Mahavidyas are not distant myths; they are historical, embodied women, unbound by the patriarchal retellings that diminished their power. In this Temple, we restore them to their rightful place as guides, teachers, protectors, and initiators.

Each session includes:
✨ A two-hour ceremony weaving Yoga Nidra, movement, ritual, and story
✨ A deep dive into the iconography, empowerment, and transmission of one Wisdom Mother
✨ A restful space for communion with the divinity within
✨ A slow, embodied remembering of cyclic wisdom and the stages of womanhood (held through an Indigenous, non-binary lens)
✨ A return to your intuitive power, sensual knowing, and ancestral design

We explore these Goddesses in their traditional Tantric sequence — journeying from abundance to dissolution, beauty to death, shadow to liberation — awakening the map of consciousness that lives inside your own body.

This is Tantra as it was meant to be practiced:
Rooted in the Earth.
Held by the Mother.
Passed hand-to-hand, teacher-to-student, through breath, ritual, and lived embodiment.

Together, we peel back the patriarchal layers and meet these Goddesses as they truly are: fierce, fluid, loving, transformative, sovereign. As we honor them, we awaken the same potentials within ourselves.

Come remember your place in the lineage of the 10 Wisdom Mothers.
Come remember that She — Woman — Ma — is One.
Jai Ma!

Retreat with the Dasha Mahavidyas is an invitation to step into the sacred landscape of your own body and commune with the divinity that lives within you. We gather in a restful space—unhurried, devotional, and spacious—where your human form is remembered as holy, patterned in the universal design of all things sacred. Here, we honor, rejuvenate, and restore this gift of embodiment so we may live our lives in their highest, most luminous expression.

This retreat aligns with the portal of Basantika Durga Puja, the springtime celebration of Ma in her embodiment of love, compassion, and fierce protection. Guided by the Dasha Mahavidyas—the 10 Great Wisdom Mothers—we explore cyclic wisdom, the stages of womanhood, ancestral teachings, and the vast spectrum of Divine Femme expression.

Each session includes a deeply restorative yoga nidra, movement, ritual, discussion, and an immersive dive into one Mahavidya's archetype, iconography, and empowerment teachings. This is a living container for your questions, curiosities, and revelations about Tantra, the Goddess, and the Mother-Line traditions.

We demystify. We decolonize. We remember.
All are welcome in this sacred space. Jai Ma!
