SHARANYA's Kali Vidya

Available Courses

• Unveiling Goddess: Practices at the Heart of Tantra

  • Course creator: Chandra Alexandre

    

  Once you have journeyed through our introductory course, having learned tools and absorbed the ethics and basics of the tradition, the next step in your studies lies here, in Unveiling Goddess. In this in-depth course, we will continue to explore the nuances of spiritual discipline and practice in the Sha'can tradition, learning additional methods of worship and delving more deeply into the Tantrick frameworks of the Shakta lineage carried from India to new shores.
  

  Participants in this collaborative forum will share experiences and receive feedback each week as they develop the techniques during sadhana (spiritual practice) and utilize them within their own devotional work, inclusive of ritual, prayer, meditation, ecstatic dance and other forms of worship. Emphasis will be on establishment of an invigorated daily practice.

• Devoted to Devi: Embracing Tradition, Walking the Path

  • Course creator: Chandra Alexandre

    

  We begin this introductory course at SHARANYA's Kali Vidya (Wisdom School) with creation of a Western framework that helps us build a respectful and appropriate bridge to the Eastern mysteries and understanding of Devi, Goddess, our Divine Mother...She Who Embraces All.
  
  Given our roots in the earth-based spiritualities of East and West, we start with a very basic introduction to the Craft as it is viewed and practiced in our tradition, Sha'can. Even if you are already familiar with the Craft, please consider yourself a beginner in our tradition. The first section of our course will give you an important introduction to and perspective on how we practice. The exercises given are also important keys for the rest of the spiritual homework provided.
  
  We then provide a brief background on what Tantra is (and what it is not) and how it fits within Sha’can. Next, we offer an introduction and overview of the Dark Goddess and why She is important, followed by a beginner’s look at Kali as the Great Mother and Four-Fold Feminine Force.
  
  This course, when all of the components are put together, creates a ritual through which you may approach Kali Maa, our Divine Mother, and gain understanding that will complement your sincere devotion. As you journey with us, know that our in-depth courses get more into the nuts and bolts of Tantrik sadhana (intentional embodied practice)...so if this introductory course leaves you thirsting for more, be assured there is much more to explore. We welcome you to our community of spiritual seekers.
