New Telecourse: The Path of Life and Death: Wisdom and Practice for the After-Death Journey
The true test of our practice is the moment we face our own death. In the eastern traditions, death is seen as a time of powerful spiritual opportunity. If we are prepared and conscious, the illusions of our life can fall away, and we can liberate ourselves from suffering and open to the highest truth of the Self.

Awakening Shakti and Shiva
This weekend offers a radical reorientation of our relationship to the sacred archetypes, both feminine and masculine. Bringing together the inner masculine and feminine polarities is essential both for true awakening and for your evolution as a human. This closely guided workshop explores archetypal god and goddess energies of the yogic pantheon and how they appear to us through practice and contemplation.
Saturday, February 2: Awakening Shakti
When we connect with the divine feminine, we come in tune with inner powers of self-actualization, divine love, and liberating wisdom. This day-long exploration brings forth the goddess-energies as they manifest in the natural world, in our personal psychology, 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. Working with meditation, contemplative practices, psychological processes, mantra, myth, and self-inquiry participants look at how the goddess-energies express themselves through our personal and emotional energies in addition to practicing connecting to the divine feminine in her protective and liberating forms.
Sunday, February 3: Awakening Shiva
Discover how the divine masculine can expand and empower hidden aspects of your own inner world. This day long workshop explores facets of the sacred masculine archetypes through key practices, myths, and teachings of the Indian yogic tradition. Understanding deity archetypes such as Krisha, Shiva, and Ganesha can transform your experience of both masculine and feminine consciousness. They embody facets of the sacred masculine that are crucial to our transformation as individuals and as a culture. Each of them is both a divine personality, and a portal into absolute Consciousness. Each of them can give us the direct experience of our own embodied divinity.

Awakening Shakti: Meditation, Kundalini and the Opening of the Heart
This workshop unfolds an approach to meditation that harnesses the alchemical inner energy called Kundalini Shakti. Kundalini — the evolutionary energy that connects us to our highest potential — is also the secret of dynamic meditation. Using closely guided meditation practices based on the tantric tradition of Kashmir Shaivism, as well as mantra, visualization, and inner journeying, we’ll connect to our own meditative energy, discover how to empower meditation through devotional practice, open the core channels in the body, and explore how to invoke the sacred feminine within the body and mind. Based on Sally’s deep, practical understanding of inner meditation energy, and her 45 years of experience in applied tantric meditation practice, this workshop is designed to help you explore an energetic approach to meditation so that every session can be a transformative inner experience.

The Path through Life and Death: Finding Your Authentic Truth on the Spiritual Path
The great yogic sages tell us that the true test of our practice is the moment we face our own death. In the eastern traditions, death is seen as a time of powerful spiritual opportunity. If we are prepared and conscious, the illusions of our life can fall away, and we can liberate ourselves from suffering and open to the highest truth of the Self.
What does it mean to be prepared for dying? How do our karmic patterns affect our life circumstances, and how can we make our practice an antidote to our suffering by unlocking the secrets of transcending karma? Are there methods of moving beyond hte ego that we can learn and practice in meditation?
Above all, what are the most effective practices we can use right now that will not only make our lives better, but also protect us at the time of death?
In this retreat, led by Sally Kempton and Andrea Boni, we’ll look into the deep secrets of karma and the techniques and understanding that helps us move beyond our illusions about ourselves.
