Dancing with the Divine Masculine
Teleseries was held Wednesdays, April 3, 10, and 17, 2013
In this class, the two great yogic models of the divine masculine, Shiva and Krishna, are explored. Through imagery, meditation, story, and skillful self-inquiry, discover their archetypal qualities as sacred heroes, lovers, ascetics, and above all, as models of true freedom.
Shiva is the ultimate outsider-deity, both a self-controlled yogi and an erotic lover. Krishna — statesman, strategist, and polyamorous lover of a thousand women — models the skill of living an enlightened life in the world. Both Shiva and Krishna offer profound teachings about yoga and life. Each of them connects us to a different quality of sacred masculine presence.

Dancing with the Divine Feminine
Telecourse held Wednesdays, January 18, January 25, & February 1, 2012
The tantric goddess traditions offer us a profoundly integral view of the divine feminine, both in women and in men.
When we connect with the divine feminine, we come in tune with inner powers of self-actualization, divine love and liberating wisdom. This 3-week teleconference explores the goddess-energies as they manifest in the world, in ourselves, and as personified archetypes of wisdom and grace. Sally offers unique insights into both the dark and light sides of our relationship to the divine feminine. The teleconference is layered with her powerful transmission of inner meditative states.
We’ll approach the mystery of the divine feminine from three perspectives: 1) the feminine as the Shakti, the creative power that animates our bodies and guides our liberation; 2) the feminine in her archetypal forms as the goddesses and yoginis of the wisdom traditions; particularly the archetypal goddess energies of Kali, Laksmi, Saraswati, Mary and Kuan Yin; 3) the feminine as the protective power that guards the life of the planet itself.
Working with meditation, contemplative practices, psychological processes, mantra, myth and self-inquiry we’ll look at how the goddess-energies express themselves through our personal and emotional energies. And we’ll practice connecting ourselves to the divine feminine in her protective and liberating forms.

What is My Dharma?
Telecourse was held Wednesdays, November 2, 9, & 16, 2011
“A person who follows his own dharma, attains perfection…Better your own dharma, performed badly, than the dharma of another well discharged…”–Bhagavad-Gita
To follow your dharma means to live the life that is uniquely suited to who you authentically are–and to live it with ethics and skill. When we know and follow our dharma, we are living in full alignment with our highest potential. Everyone’s dharma is unique, but certain universal principles apply even to the most individual life path.
In this teleseries, we’ll use key verses in the Bhagavad-Gita and the Mahabharata to explore the subtleties of personal and collective dharma. We’ll work with contemplations and inquiries to look at how you can make decisions on personal dharma, and to understand more deeply what right action is for you, in any given situation. We’ll also explore what it takes to navigate a genuine life dilemma, through the essential principles of right action.
It will be a powerful and illuminating experience for all of us, as we look at what it means to chart a life path.
