Mirabai Starr – Live the Sacred Blessings of the Women Mystics & Goddesses

Enter a sacred sanctuary, set down your fears and challenges, and allow inner strength, love, and healing to arise organically through the transformative energies of the Divine Feminine.

No matter our age or who we are, there are times we long to be held in the loving arms of a Great Mother to lay down our burdens, feel the peace of having no worries, the nourishment of deep connection, and the acceptance and warmth of unconditional love.

As a seeker on the path, you know these qualities are within you, yet oftentimes they’re far from reach — buried by patriarchy’s expectations of what a woman should be or do tamped down by cultural mores… fear-struck by global crises… or hidden in the darkness of childhood traumas or a disconnect of our own making.

A part of you also knows that the “mother” you long for is your connection to the Sacred Feminine… innate energies calling you to go inward to tap into your own reservoir of courage, quiet, and self-compassion.

This potent medicine — which many of us have forgotten — is the remedy for our anxious minds and weary hearts, inviting us to take refuge in stillness and open to the spaciousness of the moment and the unity of all things.

It also calls us to live fully… the wild, sacredly sensual, untamed dance of life.

In this 12-module online course, author, mystic scholar, and interspiritual teacher Mirabai Starr invites you to enter a virtual sanctuary a refuge where you can set down your daily challenges and allow solutions to arise organically — out of the brokenness, wisdom, and love of the Feminine.

In this safe and loving container, Mirabai will encourage you to yield to a compassionate deconstructing — in which you let go the imprints and energies of others, including collective unease, religious dogma, preconceived notions of service, and self-limiting ideas of personal power.

Through powerful guided meditations, deep listening, relaxation practices, chanting, writing and creative project prompts, and more you’ll experience the fierceness and tenderness of the Hindu Goddess Durga, the courage and passion of 16th-century Spanish mystic Teresa of Avila, the healing energies of the mysterious and sacred field of the Dark Mother, and much more…

You’ll connect deeply with the potent healing energies of ancient traditions’ feminine mystics and goddesses as wise, empowering, and compassionate allies you can turn to during challenging times and throughout your life journey.
