Navaratri Practice 

Myth, Mantra and Meditation

2nd-13th October

Join Amisha for a 10 day practice during the auspicious festival of Navaratri, 2nd-13th October, from the power of your own home.

You are invited into a brave and sacred space, with a global community of warriors to harness the transformational energy of this time. We will journey to awaken and deepen our relationship with the Divine Feminine and to integrate both our personal experiences and the collective challenges alive in the world right now.

The practice (sādhanā) is designed to create a powerful container with the offering to draw into a deeper personal retreat space with guidelines and suggestions around diet and daily rhythms and commitments. The main practice is chanting mantras daily along with an opening and closing circle.

Navratri is the festival of nine victorious nights, in devotion of the many faces of Durga and in celebration of the victory of good over evil.

Durga means The invincible, The inaccessible or The fortress and She is the great Warrior Goddess and the power or aspect of consciousness and of the Divine Feminine that protects.  She represents the fearless heart and awakens the courage we need to meet our fears and challenges, whether they be living external challenges or inner fears and limiting beliefs. She empowers us to listen to our Truth, to trust the process and to rise up in Love and Service for the Greater good.

This is an invitation to direct energy towards the areas within your life that you seek support, transformation or a radical shift in thought or structure – in service to our personal growth and the collective healing of our planet.

Through our practices and journey together we will awaken and celebrate the spirit of Durga, as warrior Goddess. We will tend to the flame of the heart and focus our energy and commitment towards amplifying our power and wisdom and remembering our worth.

We will be in devotion to many aspects of the goddess, including the form of Ma Kali who sharpens our intuition with her sword of discernment allowing us to cut through any distortion. 

This festival begins on the New Moon in Libra and as the moon waxes with the energy of the Goddess, the power of Shakti within is illuminated and magnified throughout our lives. It is a potent time for inner work and we hope that you will join us.

We will be offering this practice to those effected by this war and the chaos of these times.

ABOUT YOUR HOST:

Amisha Tala Oak has celebrated Navartri since she was a child. In her cultural tradition, the women gather for nine nights of dance called Garba, where they dance with special sticks and celebrate. This is celebrated in this way by Gujaratri women and the name is derived from the Sanskrit term Garbha (“womb”) and Deep (“a small earthenware lamp”). A lamp and statues of the goddess are placed in the centre as the dancers circle around. It’s always been a special time of celebration, being with women of all generations and wearing her favourite saris. As a yoga and meditation teacher, Navaratri took on new meaning as she felt the power in the subtle fields of this time of year, as a time of renewal, courage and empowerment. Amisha loves sharing the myth of Durga and this battle as the awakening of the inner activist in all of us, that is powered by love. This is a time for the slaying of our inner demons, and for rising up in our personal lives and the way we contribute to the collective. For spring Navarati 2020 which was just after lockdown was announced in the UK, Amisha went offline and into silence for the whole of the festival and wrote the nine principles for her book, Intuition. It is always a potent time. Amisha is an intuitive therapist who works with energy and subconscious patterns with her clients which she supports with sessions and beautiful leadership mentoring.  She is also the author of the collaborative book The Future Is Beautiful and host of the globally acclaimed podcast, All That We Are.
