Sitting at Cairo airport right now, unraveling the energies of the last 15 days. Flying home with a small group of students… the others have all begun their own journey home. Even after so many sacred journeys, I leave Egypt with a sense of both Gratitude and Relief. Relief because it’s done. As a space-holder, my work is complete. Gratitude because it went well. Of all the things that could have gone wrong — it all went right. You just never know. Especially the underground

Are you ‘electrifying’? Just as the 60 Pillars once guided me to leave my comfort zone and venture into the deserts of Egypt — it was the temples of the Nile that eventually guided me to Nepal. In a meditative vision then, I was shown how the alchemy of Fire churned with the subtle force of Air, and from the merging of the two, the element of Lightning was born. Within the land and temples of Nepal, the secret alchemy of Lightning and Tantra is held. It is no wonder their pat

After almost 8 months of planning and preparing — 4 days of intense 60 Pillars training went by just like that. I always wish I had an extra day. Some students waited 2 years for this class; some waited years to fly to Malaysia and attend a live training. Thank you for your patience, fortitude, and most of all, trust.   Trust is a humbling responsibility. I asked one student who flew in from Washington, how did she learn about me or my work? She said some years ago, a friend

The serpentine energy permeates all things… Life-force, like roots of a tree, does not move in a straight line — it meanders and curves and ‘slithers’. It is the same energetic life-force that connects all people, one generation to the next, one loved-one to another, and kindred souls to each other. It this coming lunar cycle, we are given the opportunity to clarify these energetic connections within ourselves, and heal those which are linked to us. Are your connections empow

RAHU, the ‘shadow star’ which eclipses the Sun, prepares to exit Mesha/Aries. In about 2 months, it moves into Meena/Pisces. Perhaps that is why, my sadhana has been unusually hard over the last few days. Crippling almost. Unmoving. Disenchanted. I found solace from this painting over the last few days. If you know the artist please let me know! Shiva as Yogeshwar, Master of Yoga; as Bhairava, the Fierce Protector; as Rudra, the Howling Storm. On good days, I find joy from my

In every lineage, there have been healers, physicians, herbalists, alchemists… often mistaken as strange, cursed, or mad. This rare Blue SuperMoon is a spiritual gateway to reclaim — and heal — these connections within our own ancestry. This circle also brought back many old familiar faces! It’s such a heartfelt delight to work with all of you again. I’m still reeling and grounding the massive influx of energies, as we slowly countdown to the eclipse AND Rahu’s shadow shift…

5-Day Alchemy Immersion अ॒ग्निमी॑ळे पु॒रोहि॑तं य॒ज्ञस्य॑ दे॒वमृ॒त्विज॑म् agnim īḻe purohitaṃ yajñasya devam ṛtvijam “I glorify Agni, the high priest of the sacrifice, who presents these oblations to the gods.” After 4 days of preparing — gathering the basics of Shakti Tantra, invoking the mantra of the Goddess, and learning to appreciate the wonders of Agni the Scared Fire — Day 05 culminates with a 3-hour Fire Puja to Karthikeya, the glorious God of War and Spiritual Discipl

天外有天 For every universe, there is another beyond… The human mind can be so vast, infinitely open like the sky; it is only unexamined human fears that limit one’s ability to see, perceive, and understand… Each day I hope that the work I do might help you see the world a little differently, and in doing so, give you a better idea of the divine that might exist inside of you. Stop wasting time running away; there are just too many wondrous things waiting to be discovered — or re

Perhaps it’s Mars retrograding in Cancer — aggression, fire power being internalized against the desire for peace and feeling protected — I’ve been hearing from friends and students about being ‘bombarded’ by others around them… For example, getting all sorts of strange and harsh news from others’ past; bombarded by messages or memes one after another — without being asked or acknowledged; or just getting unsolicited advise, saying ‘it’s good for you’. Boundaries are being te
