Jai Maa Sadasyas,

With the budding and blossoming of Spring, there is an abundance of opportunities within our kula for in person study with Acharya Shunya ji. April 17-19, Acharya Shunya ji will be hosting a workshop titled; Awaken Your Abundance with Goddess Lakshmi. I will be joining this in person event and I look forward to be the assistant teacher. I was fortunate to assist Acharya Shunya ji two years ago at Kripalu. Her Goddess teachings at the nation's largest retreat center are still alive in me.

The transmissions that I received from her during my time at Kripalu imprinted so much shakti. Kripalu has such a solid foundation and accomdations in place, with a delicious Ayurveda inspired cafe serving fresh and nutritious food. Despite the travel, I was able to rest, feel nourished and inspired during my time. The surrounding land and geography is beautiful and the environm…

Jai Maa & Jai Guru Deva Sadasya's,

As we find ourselves at the beginning of a new month, during Chaitra/ Spring Navratri, I am honored to share another sesssion of Atma Dance with you all, tomorrow, 4/2 from 12-1pm.

The theme for this month of April is Awaken Your Inner Abundance with Goddess Lakshmi! In synergy with Acharya Shunya ji's in person event at Kriplau later this month, Maa Lakshmi is calling us forward to value ourselves and to treasure the blessings in our lives.

As we celebrate the onset of Spring, Mother Nature's rebirth and renewal, Goddess Lakshmi is inviting us all to take the sacred time to explore and align with the beautiful depth of our inner landscape. We will connect with Goddess Lakshmi's energy and celebrate the joy and prosperity within us all!

We are deeply honored to invite you to a transformative gathering with Nina Rao, Vrinda Sheth, and Acharya Shunya where we will dive into the sacred wisdom of Sita’s Gems—an exploration of the radiant embodiment of the Divine Feminine within each of us.

​

Sita’s story is not merely the tale of a mythic heroine, but a profound reflection of the sacred feminine energies that reside in all of us. Through the lens of the Ramayana, we will journey into Sita’s path—her strength, her grace, her unwavering devotion, and her ability to rise above adversity. Nina will guide us through the essence of Sita’s divine nature, revealing how her Shakti, resilience, and compassion can anchor and empower us on our own journeys.

​

This gathering is an invitation to honor the feminine spirit, to deepen our connection to the eternal power of the Divine Mother, and to recognize Sita’s story…

Jai Maa Sadasya's,

Blessings to you in the beginning days of March! I am very excited to be hosting Atma Dance online tomorrow, 12-1pm PST where we will be exploring the Ayurvedic Panchamahabhutas: The Five Great Elements that are within us all. We will explore each element and how it is alive within us and around us. It will be a lovely way to move your body, connect within and bring some joy into your day!

Currently we are transitioning from late Winter to early Spring, and this transitory phase is known known as ritu sandhi. Atma Dance is a beautiful way to move your body and shake off the Winter heaviness, just as Spring suggests us to do. Here in Northern California, it's so amazing to witness Mother Earth gift us blooming Magnolia and Cherry blossom trees, and golden daffodils at this time of year. We are ready…

Jai Maa Sadasya's,

What an absoultely heartwarming and soulful celebration that we had earlier today ccelebrating Baba Ayodhyanath's 125th arrival on earth! I look forward to the second session honoring Baba very shortly. I was in complete awe and reverence while hearing Acharya Shunya ji, Baba's family members and long time sadasya's personal reflections on his long lasting legacy. The love and Bhakti shared felt so pure and true.

I am bringing these heart enhancing frequencies to our Atma Dance companion study tomorrow at 12pm, PST. Together, we will continue to celebrate the great fortune of being spiritual seekers illuminated by the knowledge of the Truth! We will harmonize our body, mind and spirit radiance together in sacred sangha! Here is the information to join, JAI MAA!

Jai Maa Sadasya’s, 

I’m sharing the amazing news that there is a new opportunity to be in person with Acharya Shunya ji this Summer!  She is accompanying the legendary kirtan artist Krishna Das and other luminary teachers in Boone, North Carolina, August 15th-19th at the Ram Das Summer Mountain Legacy Retreat IV!  

Sadasyas could join together as a traveling kula to be with our Guru/Teacher amidst beautiful settings.  I’ve had the great honor of traveling with Acharya Shunya ji to Omega Retreat Center and Kripalu, and each trip felt like a very auspicious transmigration where the teachings and experience imprinted profound wisdom and peace unto my being.  Sitting at the feet of our Teacher in person and receiving her wisdom directly into our heart and mind is always an life changing experience full of joy, gratitude, and inspiration!

This retreat will be a wonderful opportunity to be in person in…

Jai Maa Sadayas!

As we wrap up the end of 2024, and begin a New Year in 2025, I’m filled with so much gratitude!  During this Yule/Winter Solstice sacred time, I’m sitting in the darkness and contemplating on what 2024 illuminated and brought into my life~The growth of our sangha Kula, the depth of Bhakti Yoga teachings, the jewel of Bhaja Govindam teachings, companion study classes of Samsara Surfers and Nirvana Shatakam, another Navratri 9 day and night journey, a Vedic Study Circle Kula meet and greet, and more!  Welcoming so many new students and hearing your shares and experiences has illuminated more light and has deepened our commitment to leading a sattvic life!

What a wonderful community Kula Sangha session yesterday. It never fails to amaze me that we can gather from all over the world in different lands and time zones and yet create community. Thank you Acharya Shunya for making this time for us and for everyone who helped to create it and who attended it. I learn so much from everyone’s journeys and insights. I felt uplifted in Maa and the energy has followed me into today as well. Blessings!

Jai Maa Sadasya's! I'm looking forward to tomorrow's first ever community Kula Sangha session from 8am-10am PST!
