Shakti is Nature: How the Divine Mother Hides in Nature and Whispers to Us

With Raja Choudhury

June 27 - July 2, 2025

One of the key teachings of Sri Vidya Tantra or Shaktism is that the Divine Mother, in whose womb we exist and who acts through us, speaks to us all the time, whispering in our ears through plants, animals, the water, the air and through all the people we meet. It is we who have forgotten how to hear her sweet song.

When we speak, chant, hum, and sing her name through Mantras, we begin to vibrate once again with her essence, and in that resonance, we find our true selves. We will sing together to Mother Nature.

Learning Outcomes

  • Discover the advanced breathing techniques and Mantras to Shakti that let you resonate with Nature and your deepest Self;
  • Experience the Awakening of Shakti in your body and allow yourself to dissolve into nature around you;
  • Become intuitive to the sacred message of The Divine Mother coming to you through Nature and everyone you meet.

What to Expect

  • Early Morning Energizations and Pranayama
  • Group Chanting of Sacred Mantras to the Divine Mother or Shakti
  • Holotropic Breathwork
  • Chakra Dancing to Shiva and Shakti
  • Toning of Sounds and Mantras to Nature and your Higher States
  • Receiving Shakti Transmission and Kundalini Awakening with Rajada
  • Experiencing Turiya or the Enlightened Witness State and Pure Ananda or Bliss

“It is incredible to experience the power of Raja’s live transmission, the collective vibration of the kula, and Sedona’s own energy. Those three days generated a strong, positive vibration that is still rippling through my life.” – Alex
