Hey Friend,
This is such a difficult time for our world! Whatever you are experiencing, I send love, and I encourage all of us to find ways to express our shared desire to bring about more kindness and mutual caretaking among us humans. No gesture is too small.
When hearts are opened by tragedy, we can choose to walk through that gate into more capacity for compassion, clarity, skillfullness, and devotion.
Starting in January, I will be offering teachings that help to subtilize our sensitivity to life and bring about more practical understandings that we can put to use in our personal lives and to benefit others.
Please keep this for future reference, and check our calendar for more details about these teachings and others in our 2024 lineup.
with infinite love 💞,
Shambhavi
Experience Heart Darshan
STARTS SATURDAY, JAN 4 with Shambhavi Sarasvati
Live in Portland, no livestream
Shambhavi and students will play in the field of direct introduction, also called transmission. We will experiment with heart-based meditation, symbols, sound, movement, words, and more subtle methods.
Over time, we will train to become more familiar with and immersed in the natural state of wisdom using some of the methods most central to direct realization traditions.
A new 2024 teaching cycle!
STARTS SATURDAY, JAN 6 with Shambhavi Sarasvati

Kundalini Tantra is a 9-month teaching cycle with Shambhavi Sarasvati. You will be taking an experiential journey following the map of the chakras and nadis (subtle channels) as given in the Tantrik hatha yoga tradition. The purpose of this teaching is to open the gates of perception so that subtle energy body structures can be felt and become useful helpmeets in your process of unfolding.
