On my Awakening Shakti Online Group Programme, we spend 9 months re-birthing ourselves into a deeper embodiment of the Divine Feminine. Over these 9 months we focus on one theme per month, with a workbook, live zoom calls, video practices, weekly online yoga and more.

Who’d have thought that in a workshop about Deepening into Love & Community, I’d end up making out with a tree, but that’s exactly what happened for me yesterday. I’m here in Greece as a Facilitator in Residence at the beautiful Alexandros centre: one of three holistic retreat and educational venues on Mount Pelion that form the Kalikalos community.

So many people I meet express an interest in knowing more about tantra or comment upon my radiance and positive vital energy. “I want what YOU’ve got” they say.

I don’t believe in co-incidence, so when I was walking home from the park today and felt a stone in my shoe, I knew it was time to write this blog.
