Practically Profound and Profoundly Practical.

The Sakta philosophy, or the Way of the Goddess, offers a refreshingly unique and practical approach to spirituality that can help you live your best life. Rather than rejecting the physical world or viewing the body as a hindrance, the Sākta philosophy embraces all aspects of the self in service of the divine. Here are five ideas that set this approach apart:

  • One: Embrace all of yourself. The Way of the Goddess recognizes the importance of your physical body, emotions, intellect, and spiritual essence. By integrating all parts of yourself in service of the divine, you can experience profound spiritual growth.
  • Two: Celebrate paradox. The world is complex and contradictory, and the Sākta approach celebrates the interdependence of both aspects, both sides. By embracing paradox, you can navigate life’s complexities more easily.
  • Three: Recognize the divinity of your form. The Way of the Goddess emphasizes embodied spirituality and the power of the body to facilitate spiritual growth and awakening. Four: Go beyond duality. Ultimate reality encompasses both the unmanifest and manifest aspects of the universe, and the Sākta tradition recognizes the sacredness of the manifest world and the importance of the Divine Feminine in all forms.
  • Five: Enjoy the journey. By embodying goddess archetypes through mythology, ritual, symbolism, and visualization, you can connect with the divine and experience profound spiritual growth. This path is engaging and lively, offering greater purpose and meaning in your life.
