Alison, Intuitive Healer
"The Shakti Sessions have become such an important part of my life. The insights I’ve gained have brought me closer to myself and to actualizing my life path. Raphaela is a brilliant, warm, and engaging teacher who holds a grounded, powerful, and nurturing space for self-exploration and community connection with each goddess.
What sets these sessions apart is the depth of space held for transformation...I always leave feeling like a changed person. The beautiful balance of yoga, meditation, chanting/singing, and journaling allows the teachings to integrate through all parts of our being.
I am so grateful to Raphaela for offering her gifts in this way. I could not recommend these sessions more highly!"

"Raphaela’s ability to hold space and guide a group of women with grace and deep knowledge through movement, expression, and self-reflection was truly unique. The experience opened me up to more energy and greater awareness of myself."
Laura, Life Coach-Musician
"Raphaela brings her fully embodied beautiful goddess Self into her teaching. The combination of yoga, music, chanting, story, and small group sharing creates such a powerful experience. I love having Jessica’s live music as part of the workshop to deepen the experience through musical vibrations. Thank you, Raphaela, for your creative vision and for bringing women together to move, learn, and grow in community."
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.
