Get Grounded in Puja & Mantra

Foundations of sadhana in March and April

Spring sadhana is coming. . . 🌱

Hello, Friend,

It’s freezing in Portland today, but spring is fast approaching. In March and April, I’ll be offering two foundational half-day teachings in Puja and Mantra. As usual, you’ll get all the practical how-tos and the esoteric nuances. For beginners and those who want to deepen their existing practice. Both teachings are live in PDX and livestreamed.

Lots of love,
Shambhavi
