Create an internal space to explore, enliven and empower your own inner divinity, through the practices of creativity, ritual and reverence.

“Know which altar to pray to” -Ginette Paris, Ph.D.

Lakshmi, Durga and Saraswati are the three wisdom goddesses; when we begin to build a relationship with them they in turn teach us about ourselves—amplifying the bond to the goddess within. We will use creativity, ritual and reverence to explore pathways in enlivening those tools each goddess offers us. Archetypal images represent something that is not entirely understandable yet, signal to the possible meanings. This course will explore the archetypal symbology of each of these goddesses in order to realize a greater understanding of ourselves. In this way we gain the support of the goddesses as a mirror to look deeper within our own divinity.

Your Guru - Chanti Tacoronte Perez 

"Creativity is a ritual of self awareness that unfolds the portal of Divine Love. When we learn to sharpen and aim our creative force we have abundant opportunity to step confidently into our own personal essence. Exploring and weaving the practice of daily ritual, creative expression and reverence have taught me how to look at my self more deeply— as that portal of divine love has begun to blossom within me, it calls me forth to share the inherent wisdom we can all cultivate from forming a relationship to creativity."
