WHY INVOKE DURGĀ’S POWER…


“Perhaps the greatest lesson Durgā teaches is for us not to turn away from our suffering, but to learn to confront it and walk through it, no matter how terrifying reality may seem.
…Durgā takes us right to the centre of the chaos that is upsetting our lives and shows us that no matter how harsh reality may seem, we can survive and come through feeling more empowered and more alive.”

Join Satya of Vedic Priestess Temple for a sacred immersion into yogic practice, storytelling, workshop, contemplation, and ceremony – calling on the transformative power of Durgā – the deity Satya’s maternal lineage has been devoted to since time immemorial.

Our retreat coincides with a rare alignment of celestial energies; a partial solar eclipse, the New Moon, and Spring Equinox. This is a powerful time for turning inward, releasing old patterns, and gaining clarity as we prepare for new beginnings. It also marks the start of Navratri – the bi-annual nine sacred nights devoted to Durgā in all her names and forms – participants will carry forward practices that align with this deeply auspicious time.
