Shakti Sessions:Embodying The Goddess™ Mini Retreat
Lakshmi: The Goddess of Abundance

Facilitated by Raphaela Fritz

with special musical guest Jessica Zoller 


Sunday, June 14
 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Nectar, Barnardsville, NC

Self Investment: $99 

Five years ago we birthed Shakti Sessions: Embodying The Goddess™  intimate half-day temples where women drop out of the mind and into the body, where stories of the Goddesses become living, breathing medicine.

The Goddesses never left. They were simply waiting for us to soften, open, and invite them back in.

This early summer, they are returning.

We begin with Lakshmi — Goddess of Inner & Outer Abundance, Beauty, and Grace. She who teaches us that true wealth flows when we embody radiance, enjoymen, and unapologetic receptivity.

 

On Sunday, June 14 from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM at our mountain sanctuary in Nectar, Barnardsville, NC, we will:

  • Awaken her qualities through sacred storytelling

  • Embody her energy with slow, devotional yoga, meditation, music, and free dance

  • Journal, reflect, and share in a safe, heart-opened circle of sisters

  • Close with an organic lunch outdoors, letting the earth hold us

 

Space is intentionally small so the container stays intimate and potent.

The Shakti Sessions: Embodying The Goddess

Dive into the transformative power of the divine feminine. In the Tantric tradition, the ancient seers embodied this sacred vibration as an expression of Shakti…the divine feminine power. Following in this ancient tradition (& with a modern twist), each month we will meet to learn, embody, connect, and connect within.

 

Embark on a journey where we explore what it feels like to embody life-affirming qualities of ancient deities within the modern-day context of all that you are.  Inspired by stories, myths, and teachings of the divine feminine, you will reconnect to your powers through aligned yoga asana, breathwork, mantra, contemplation, relaxation, and meditation. Each month we will explore the powers that these wisdom keepers hold, and learn how we can incorporate these attributes into our lives. The essence focused on merging aspects of the ancient wisdom of the divine within you...here and now. 

 

Experience the protective powers within you, shift the way you view the world, and cleanse the mental, physical, and emotional bodies through the practice of deity yoga.  Most importantly, this work presents the opportunity to shift the way we see ourselves, seeing the divine qualities we already hold.

What a gift to gather in this intentional way to deepen our own individual connection with the goddess in community.

Each workshop will consist of story,  yoga asana, visualizations, mantra, journaling prompts & small group shares.  

We will meet at our new sweet location which is about 30 minutes north of Asheville; in

Barnardsville, from 10am -1pm.
