Drawing Inspiration From The Feminine Divine, Devadasi and the soul memory of The Temple Dancer Rites

Get Started On Your Journey

The Modern Priestess Awakens to the Remembrance of embodiment of the goddess as within and without. Now is the time of the great feminine rising in our collective truth. We are here to do this great work together by honoring our planet, our bodies and the goddess of a thousand names that resides in all things. Intentional movement gives us a vehicle to move out of our heads and into hearts and bodies.

We can then experience our authentic feelings; both our dark and light selves. This enables practitioners to attain awareness and inner stillness in motion, creating a more grounded center. These offerings are created for heart centered souls who want to expand their understanding of healing feminine arts as a form of medicine.

Awaken the codes within you of your full potential as healers, priestesses and medicine women as we honor the lineages of these teachings.
