Since meeting the Wisdom Goddesses of Yoga, manifestations of the Divine Feminine in India many years ago. I visited a temple that had a special wing dedicated to the Goddess in all her forms...many of them would normally be considered socially unacceptable and even downright scary. Just the idea that there was a goddess dedicated to ageing and decline for example, or one wearing a necklace of human skulls, or one who was able to paralyse one's tongue!

I became so absorbed and inspired by the liberation these unusual divine personalities offered, I began an earnest study of their myths, meanings, practices, mantras and meditations.
The benefits of the practices were so visceral, enriching and uplifting, they overflowed into every area of my life. My perception of life completely changed...for the better. As I am not one who can contain such positivity for long, I naturally had to share my experience and its' source.
While preparing a research project, I reached out to my Yoga community with an invitation to join the first Goddess Study Group.
We met on Zoom every week for 12 weeks and worked through the wonderful book 'Awakening Shakti" by the inspiring teacher and writer Sally Kempton. The result of that research project is a beautiful book titled
"The Way of the Goddess" - a modern guide to ancient feminine spirituality.
At the end of the 3 months we decided that the experience was so uplifting, enlightening and inspiring that it should continue once the book is published. … so we continue our journey.
When you join a Goddess Study Group you join a sanga of fellow travellers who share stories, perspectives and experiences. It is a rich and rewarding experience.
