  • 3 McCormacks Bay Road Christchurch, Canterbury, 8081 New Zealand (map)
*EARLYBIRD PRICING FINISHES 11:59PM 29/01/23

Join Rachel Hunter for a one day workshop focusing on the Dance with the Devi - Grace of the Goddess. This workshop will be held on Sunday March 12: 2023 from 9:30am-3:30pm at the Mount Pleasant Community Centre.   

Here is what Rachel has to say about this amazing workshop:

“This Dance with the Devi or Goddess is extremely personal, what is one’s experience, is different to another’s. There is no defined expression of how divinity comes or whom may be within the inner most sanctum of self.”

This workshop will be with one or more of the Hindu Goddesses. During this time together let’s discover, explore, and experience, speak, share the qualities of divine feminine.

Archetypes have long been a part of many cultures in different expressions, so this is nothing new.

We will connect through:

  • Breath

  • Mantra

  • Kriya

  • Asana

Allow this space to unfold during the class as the divine is an intuitive process.

𝐹𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 of the 𝐷𝑒𝑣𝑖

  • Shree Lakshmi , Goddess of Prosperity Beauty Love and Abundance.

  • Shree Saraswati - knowledge, wisdom, speech the arts

  • Shree Durga - justice, protection, love.

  • Shree Mata Kali - truth and transformation.

Look at the possibilities of shedding and creating that inner truth to who we are.

Please arrive with openness and fluidity. The Divine Feminine is a personal journey.

With this experience you can connect to the teachings, sometimes not—this is all personal experience. So, there are no expectations either way.

Goddess may change depending on the energy of the day.

  • Opening ceremony

  • Meditation invoking the elements / goddess.
