Foundational Work

The opening preparation time for this program will introduce the themes and some core practices of the program, and will set the stage for our month of manifestation.

We’ll explore the flowing feminine path of manifestation, and how it can work in harmony with the more linear masculine path for maximum benefit.

In this time, you’ll:

• Gain a basic understanding of archetypes and how they can be used for manifestation
• Discover how to harness the power of the elements and co-create with them
• Hone your skills for building an altar that you will continue to use throughout this program
• Explore how using sound and mantra can help bring your desires into fulfillment

During the beginning of this phase, you’ll align with the Darkness of the New Moon — starting with silence and a space of deep receptivity and allowing yourself to be still, empty out, and enter the cosmic void of the Great Mother. Next, you’ll start to seed your intentions for this lunar cycle (and beyond), clarifying your soul’s vision and opening to the feminine archetype of Tara, the Goddess of Compassion, to help fuel your manifestation powers.

You’ll close this phase with a dive into the Priestess archetype, where you’ll discover how to cultivate a “stillpoint” within yourself to live from a place of stability and groundedness. From here, you’ll learn to more easily activate your intuition for use in manifesting your intention.

During this time, you’ll:

• Encounter the archetype of the Great Mother, with her unconditional, loving presence and gentle guidance
• Open yourself to the flow of the Universe, allowing it to offer you wisdom from the cosmos
• Learn the keys for setting intentions that can manifest with grace and ease
• Allow yourself to dream into a greater-than-imagined reality, without feeling constrained by money or time
• Open more deeply to your intuitive guidance and pay attention to the synchronicities occurring in your life (as they relate to your intention)
• Connect with the archetype of the Priestess and utilize her energy to fuel your manifestation

As the moon waxes and grows, you’ll discover how to use Her energies to expand your soul’s vision. You’ll clearly define your goals so you (and the Universe) are clear on what you desire to accomplish. You’ll also look at inner and outer obstacles that will inevitably cross your path — and how to skillfully navigate them using the energy of Goddess Kali.

As the Moon approaches fullness, you’ll learn to engage the archetype of the Muse, who invites you to be creative, spontaneous, and playful, bringing a lightness of being to this work and making room for the unexpected.

During this time, you’ll:

• Create clear goals and action steps for your objectives that are SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Related)
• Discover practices to help you dissolve inner barriers to manifesting your potential
• Experience a powerful visualization and sound practice to aid in the fulfillment of your intentions
• Gain deeper wisdom from nature — especially from trees — and listen to Her wisdom about your intentions
• Use your powers of expression to magnetize your intention, through writing, drawing, painting, collaging, singing, dancing — whatever self-expression you feel drawn to
• Start talking about your dreams and how you imagine them being fulfilled — our visions becomes more real as we share them with others
• Work with the goddess archetypes of Kali, Artemis, and Saraswati (the Muse) and harness their energies for your manifestation

Under the Full Moon, you’ll start to explore the archetype of Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love. You’ll learn practices that will help you focus on how you want your soul’s vision to make you FEEL (instead of what you want to accomplish) …. as well as what brings you JOY. From there we’ll begin exploring the archetype of the Primal Goddess, who can help bring passion and vitality into the manifestation of your intentions. She can also help you learn to set appropriate boundaries, allowing for time and space to focus on your deepest desires.

As the moon wanes, you’ll start to explore the archetype of the Initiator, which is inherent in the Goddess Isis. As you call in this powerful energy, you’ll explore what you may be avoiding or are not being honest about within yourself, which could be getting in the way of your manifestation.

During this time, you’ll:

• Learn a beautiful mantra to the Hindu Goddess Lakshmi to support the graceful fulfillment of your desires
• Lift your frequency through self-anointing with essential oils
• Explore what new boundaries you may need to set in your life — empowering you to say No! in some areas so you can say Yes! to what matters most
• Discover how you can evolve your intentions, so they are truly aligned with the greater good
• Explore how the process of manifestation is asking you to grow and expand so you can fully embody your soul work
• Receive feedback about what may be holding you back related to your intention

In the further waning moon, we move into the archetype of the Wise Woman, who relishes simplicity. Here you are invited to distill your intention to its quintessential essence — your intention’s creation.

You’ll also be invited to explore self-doubt, and where in your life it may be creeping in, as it relates to the fulfillment of your intention. You’ll explore the archetype of the Dream Weaver, discovering how to weave your personal dreams and intentions into the wider matrix. You’ll also explore effective ways to gather important insights from your Dreamtime.

As the moon becomes a sliver once again, you’re invited to open to the archetype of the Queen of Death… to stillness, letting go, and the feeling frequency of black. You’ll release your intention to the Universe to receive that which serves the good of the One.

During this time, you’ll:

• Hold your simplified intention in your heart… and see it as DONE!
• Create a symbolic representation of your intention — a symbol, image, sound, etc. to be used to help connect your intention to the larger matrix
• Explore who in your network is best positioned to help you manifest your intention, and set up key meetings to connect with these allies
• Pay attention to your nighttime dreams and the important insights they can offer to all that’s unfolding
• Let go of your attachment to specific outcomes, opening to the wisdom of accepting “what is”
• Practice working with the mantra, I trust, I release, and see what emerges

In this final time together, which holds all phases of the moon and all Earth elements, we’ll enter into the archetype of the Alchemical Goddess — an ever-changing source and our portal to ecstasy and freedom.

During this time, you’ll:

• Celebrate the manifestations and transformations you’ve experienced
• Explore your relationship to change and what, if anything, you may need to change to fulfill your destiny
• Clarify what’s next for you in your soul’s journey

Even if you know intellectually that you are blessed compared to so many in the world, you may feel a sense of lack, as if you’ve not quite received what you need to deeply relax and feel satiated and at peace.

Overly ambitious or driven by the compulsion to try to fill your “holes” with over-eating, over-shopping, or busyness, you may keep seeking while never finding true fulfillment.

In this session, you will be initiated in the Maha Lakshmi mantra, an ancient Vedic practice for opening to the Grace that ends any sense of lack or unnecessary struggle in your life. The focus is on allowing a deep relaxation of any residue within you of inner agitation or not quite being able to access what you need to flourish and enjoy life. You’ll:

• Journey into your sincere heart’s desire — both in your inner life and in your practical life circumstances
• Receive initiation into the Maha Lakshmi mantra that makes you receptive to infinite blessings upon your sincere heart’s prayer
• Discover how to work with this practice to awaken the felt sense of being blessed by life

Do you want to be the kind of woman who has that magic sparkle and wows others with her deep presence, profound accomplishments, and passionate love for life? Are you ready to design your life as an expression of your soul?

In this bonus, you’ll receive audios and transcripts from three 90-minute sessions where Devaa will show you how to cultivate key elements for living an inspiring life as a modern woman.

Clarifying Your Soul’s Vision

• Unleash more of your true visionary potential that moves you towards being an inspired woman leader
• Allow yourself to dream into a greater-than-imagined reality for yourself — without feeling the constraints of money or time
• Practice being free, fluid, and creative, and apply these qualities to your projects and work

Manifesting the Life You Were Born to Live

• Discover how to embrace the paradox of intention and surrender — harnessing the power of the masculine, while still embodying your feminine core
• Learn embodied practices for moving through fear and other obstacles as they show up on your path, so you can feel strong and free
• Identify the pieces you can joyfully and skillfully handle on your own, and who you might invite in to co-create with you

Transforming the Hidden Barriers to Your Soul’s Intentions

• Identify the ways that you may be sabotaging your own success and what you can do to shift these subconscious patterns
• Reclaim your confidence in your own abilities and self-worth
• Create practices that ensure you are creating from joy and abundance rather than lack

In this special bonus, you’ll receive a downloadable 56-page full color guidebook that describes and illustrates every key archetype that we’ll be working with through the lunar cycle. Each archetype offers you the opportunity to heal specific soul wounds and to more deeply embody your gifts, so you can live a full spectrum life. The more you can learn to access universal, archetypal qualities and energies and the more you plug into the Source that supercharges all of our worldly work, the more your journey will be filled with greater grace and ease. As a result, you will experience an enhanced ability to manifest your destiny and be of deeper service to our planet.

Join Gangaji as she speaks about women as spiritual leaders and addresses the direct connection between ending our internal war and ending the external war playing out across the globe. “I can sense an urgency in the world to fix the horrors, to do something to help, but these noble efforts are ultimately useless unless each of us is willing to stop adding to suffering by ending the war within ourselves. When there is a desire to end that war and a responsibility to end that war is felt, then our lives can be truly used in service to this earth and to each other.” – Gangaji, ONE the Magazine

Gangaji was born in Texas in 1942, and grew up in Mississippi. After graduating from the University of Mississippi in 1964, she married and had a daughter. In 1972, she moved to San Francisco where she took Bodhisattva vows, practiced Zen and Vipassana meditation, helped run a Tibetan Buddhist Meditation Center, and had a career as an acupuncturist. Yet, despite her successes, she continued to experience a deep and persistent longing for fulfillment. In the wake of her disillusionment, Gangaji made a final prayer for true help. And in 1990, the answer to that prayer took her to India to the banks of the river Ganga, where she met Sri H.W.L. Poonja, also known as Papaji, who helped her open the floodgates of self-recognition. Today, Gangaji is a teacher and author, who travels the world speaking to seekers from all walks of life about her own experience of awakening and that it is really possible to discover the truth of who you are and be true to that discovery.
