Yogini InitiationFebruary17 March 1, 2019

A Yogini is a woman devoted to a life lived with totality of heart,with fierce truth, with compassion and unconditional love.She is an instrument of awakening in the worldby her fearless commitment to show up authentically and generously,for her own radiant embodiment of loveas well as for the healing of all sentient beings.

Earth is home and so is infinity.

~Chameli Ardagh

Perhaps you have felt it for a while, that it is time.Time for that leap of no return. Time to step into the Real.Time to let Her have you.All of you.

Perhaps you have felt it as a call, a whisper, a roar.As an undertow pulling on you from the inside of the inside.We are many who hear the call, sister.We are many being pulled at from the deep.

Perhaps also you have felt the pain of holding back,felt the skin hardened by doubt.Felt the unbearable pain of turning your back on Herachingly beautiful face.

In February 2019we will gather once again, in the Yogini circle, in the sacred foothills of the Himalayas,to honor Her, to love Her, to sing to Her, to celebrate Her in all the ways she creates Herself through us,as living, embodied, warmblooded women ~ as Yoginis!

You can come for all21 days, or come for just one of the retreats. There will be two parts. The first 9 days will be a journey Into the Heart of Durga, open to Yoginis with some experience with Awakening Women and feminine embodiment practices.The second retreat will be a 12 day Yogini Initiation Retreat, open for more experienced and committed practitioners within the Awakening Women Yogini circle.

Every living being perceives subject and object,but the Yogini resides in their union.~ Vijnanabhairava Tantra

Follow the trail of rose petals,follow the scent of the mountains and water.Follow the sounds of ecstatic prayers,of roars of truth, of tears liberated at last.Follow the calling from the deep warmth of you,and take the seat that has been prepared,that has been waiting ~ for you.

Let me wash your hands in rosewater.Let me hold your shoulders until they relax a little.Exhale, amazing one.It is retreat time.

With infinite love,

The rest is here:
