THE GODDESS AND THE ŚRĪ CHAKRA PRACTICE
A 4-day Workshop Retreat with Swami Chetanananda
Thursday, April 25 – Sunday, April 28
We are pleased to announce that Swami Chetanananda will lead a workshop retreat in Portland this April on the topic of The Goddess and The Śrī Chakra Practice. Swamiji will present a discussion of the Goddess and how She relates to our lives and our human body. From the ancient tradition of Śrī Vidya, Swamiji will transmit the daily practice of the Śrī Chakra puja, complete with the worship sequence, mantras and mudras. This is a rarely given teaching, and we encourage all those interested to take advantage of this opportunity to receive these teachings now.
“We make offerings of beauty into beauty for the sake of beauty,
so that we come to realize this beauty as the center of ourselves.”
—Swami Chetanananda about the Śrī Chakra Puja
Topics which will be covered as part of Swamiji’s workshop teaching:
The Goddess and Our Lives
The Structure of the Śrī Chakra
The Human Energetic System and the Śrī Chakra

“These are special mystical teachings, delivered by one who has studied deeply and intensively. All should attend this workshop that have any interest or feel they have the capacity to carry this wisdom. It is profound and you will have a profound experience.”

“The Śrī Chakra practice, which Swami Chetanananda transmits is the most beautiful practice. I felt as though I was awakening my divinity in every inch and crevice of my body. The teachings have profoundly carved the course of my life. Swami Chetanananda has spent his life dedicated to this practice, so that when he teaches its vast array of knowledge to you, it is transmitted in an energetic way alongside the practice work he gives you to take away. Pure magic is the energy of Swamiji, pure magic!” — Autumn Rose, Yoga teacher and student
