Creative play to reconnect with your inner Goddess
Your Own Navaratri Sādhanā October 11–19, 2026
At Home with the Goddess Nine Days of Navaratri October 11–19, 2026
For thousands of years, Navaratri has been a celebration of the Goddess — nine days devoted to courage, renewal, transformation and grace.
This year, you’re invited to celebrate Navaratri in your own home, in your own way, guided each day by your beautiful new 65-page Navaratri Workbook.
No Zoom timetable. No group you have to keep up with. No need to know Sanskrit, Hinduism or how to meditate.
Just you, the Goddess, and nine days set aside for something sacred.
Each day, you’ll meet one of the Nine Faces of Durga through story, mantra, reflection and simple practice — then take her with you into your ordinary day.
Your home. Your practice. Your pilgrimage.
From October 11–19, women around the world will be celebrating Navaratri.
You can join this ancient rhythm from wherever you are — privately, simply and in your own time each day.

Nine Durgas. Nine Mantras. Nine Days with the Goddess.
Your specially created 65-page Navaratri Workbook is your guide for the nine sacred days of Navaratri, October 11–19, 2026.
Nine Durgas. Nine Mantras. Nine Days with the Goddess. Each day, open your workbook, create a little space for yourself to meet a different face of Durga.
You’ll discover her story and the quality she awakens in you, explore the hidden pattern or obstacle she invites you to recognise, chant her mantra, and take that awareness with you into the rest of your day.
For each of the Nine Durgas your workbook includes:
🌺 Ancient myths — Goddess wisdom for everyday living
🌺 Her mantra — words you can chant aloud, whisper softly, or sing your heart out
🌺 Durga Bhakti — a simple devotional practice to invite the Goddess into your day
🌺 Sacred inquiry — reflection questions that may take you somewhere you weren’t expecting
🌺 The Shadow Keeper — a little decluttering for the mind, making space for something new
🌺 Devi Doodles — because your art supplies know something your thinking mind doesn’t
🌺 Yantra colouring — a creative practice for when you’re out of words
The Little Rituals of Everyday Life
Ritual doesn’t have to be elaborate.
You may already have little rituals woven through your day without even thinking of them as sacred — lighting a candle in the morning, making tea in a favourite cup, placing flowers beside a photograph, pausing before a meal, or noticing the moon.
During Navaratri, I invite you to become a little more conscious of these moments — and perhaps create a few new ones.
Light a candle before chanting your mantra. Place a flower on your altar. Drink your morning coffee without doing anything else. Wear a particular colour. Sit outside for five minutes.
Nothing has to be done perfectly.
The invitation is simply to notice how easily an ordinary action can become a ritual when you bring your attention to it.
And perhaps, by the end of the nine days, a few of these little rituals will have found their way into your everyday life.
Completing Your Shadow Keeper Ritual
Nine days. Nine Goddesses. And quite possibly a rather messy little collection of things you’re ready to stop carrying.
Take your Shadow Keeper in your hands. No judgement. No fixing. Just a little compassion for the human being who has been carrying all this around.
Then choose how you’d like to let it go:
🔥 Fire — burn it safely and watch it become something else.
🌱 Earth — bury it and plant something over it. Old stuff out. New life in.
💧 Water — if it’s completely natural and biodegradable, let water carry it away. Otherwise, use water symbolically.
Or invent a ritual entirely your own.
And then… a great big sigh.
You don’t have to understand everything, resolve everything or become a completely new woman by Day Nine.
Just notice what feels a little lighter.
Let it go with love. Make room for what comes next.

10-Day Navaratri Retreat October 11-21, 2026
with Amanda Ahern
The Way of the Goddess — Transformation, Devotion & Divine Feminine Power
For thousands of years, Navaratri has been a sacred celebration of the Goddess — a festival of renewal, courage, and grace.
In India, these nine nights (and ten days) honour the Divine Feminine in all her aspects — protector, creator, destroyer, muse.
This retreat is your invitation to bring that same sacred rhythm into your own life — to awaken the Goddess within and reconnect with your invisible power, your Shakti.
About the Retreat
Over ten sacred days, Amanda Ahern — artist, author, and spiritual teacher — will guide you on a journey through the faces of the Divine Feminine.
You’ll explore the courage of Durga, the grace of Lakshmi, the wisdom of Saraswati, and the fierce compassion of Kali, learning how to embody their qualities in your own life.
Each session is a living practice — a blend of myth, mantra, meditation, and creativity — designed to help you:
✨ Reclaim your inner strength
✨ Let go of limiting stories
✨ Awaken your creativity and joy
✨ Cultivate peace in the midst of change
You’ll emerge with a renewed sense of purpose, connection, and courage — anchored in devotion and inspired by the living Goddess within you.
We follow the tradition as I have experienced it with the Johari family. They have even created a book which explains what Navaratri is about, and stories of each of the different manifestations of Durga Maa. The mythotherapy is an important part of the experience.
Please download the Kindle version of the book from the link below for participation in Navaratri Online.
Retreat Schedule
Day 1–3:Kali — The Courage of the Heart
Day 4–6: Lakshmi — The Flow of Abundance
Day 7–9: Saraswati — The Voice of Truth and Creativity
Day 10: Dussera— Turning the demons
Who It’s For
This retreat is for you if you feel called to:
reconnect with your feminine power
feel grounded yet inspired
awaken creativity and intuition
live with more meaning, flow, and joy
No previous experience is needed — only a willing heart to meet yourself wherever and however you are.
