The Mahavidyas: The 10 Great Wisdom Goddesses

09:00am, Sat 6th Jan 2024 - 01:00pm, Sat 6th Jan 2024

Tantric mythology offers an alternative narrative to the male creator god and its subsequent patriarchal lens. This is a “story” where the very pulse of the entire cosmos is... Feminine.
She manifests through time and beyond.
She is guardian and protector, overseers, creator and destructor.
She is fierce and she is Everything.

In this workshop you will be introduced to the 10 Great Wisdom Goddesses of India.

Kali: Devourer of Time
Tara: Guardian of Wisdom and Compassion
Tripura-Sundarī: The beauty of the 3 worlds
Chinnamastā: The Self- Decapitated Goddess
Bhuvaneśvarī: Earth and Nourishment
Kamalā: The “Tantric Laksmi”
Mātaṅgī: The outcaste poet (Saraswati’s twin sister)
Bagalāmukhī: The Paralyser
Bhairavī: The fierce truth speaker and provocator
Dhūmāvatī: The Crone and teacher of forgetting

Understand what they are about, why they are here and what we can learn from them.

We will cover mythology, iconology and symbology, as well as their relationship with a woman’s initiation into Woman hood at various life stages and times of change, challenge and uncertainty.

The workshop includes a diverse presentation, self-enquiry, discussion and ends with a closing yin yoga practice, to weave in some of the central themes of the day.

Come ready to be inspired and in-awe!
