NEW OFFERING

A Celebration Of the Divine Feminine

along the Seven Chakras

OCTOBER 12th thru 20th, 2026

Across every age and culture, humanity has bowed to the feminine face of the divine, in ancient river goddesses, cave paintings of prehistoric mothers, in the many names by which the sacred feminine has been called and cherished. Much of the world has since moved away from that reverence. The turbulent times we now find ourselves in are an invitation to return to that worship, to turn within and invoke the powerful energy of the Divine Feminine once more.


Navratri is a nine-night tradition, rooted in ancient Indian culture, honoring the feminine energy in its many forms. This year, we shall celebrate it across our neighborhood, moving from studio to studio, using the framework of the chakra system.


Each day we will honor a different archetype of feminine strength as we move from the root to the crown. Each studio will bring its own magical offering, beginning with a short reflection and meditation tuned to that day's energy, led by Ramaa Krishnan (fullbloomedlotus.com). Then the hosting studio takes over, offering their own expression of the day's theme, in whatever form feels true to them. We close the arc together on October 20th to celebrate all we've moved through.​

What to Bring & How to Prepare

You do not need prior experience with meditation, yoga, or the chakra system to take part in these gatherings. Come exactly as you are.

  • Comfortable Clothing: Wear layered, comfortable clothes that allow you to sit quietly and move gently without distraction.

  • A Dedicated Notebook or Journal: We invite you to carry a single journal throughout these days to record quiet insights, subtle inner shifts, and reflections as we move through each archetype together.

  • A Mindful Arrival: Please aim to arrive 10 to 15 minutes before the start time to settle in, find your space, and begin the transition into quiet stillness before the studio offering begins.​

​

Because each hosting studio brings its own unique energy and space limitations, we ask that you reserve your place in advance for each location you wish to attend. You are welcome to join us for the full nine-day journey or step into individual gatherings as your schedule allows.

​

If you feel called to share this experience with loved ones, we encourage you to bring friends, family, or anyone in your life seeking a moment of quiet connection and sacred reflection.
