Earth is birthing herself as you.
Gather wise women around you—
those who know you are neither crazy nor lazy;
those intimate with the currents beneath the seen;
those willing to stay with you in the discomfort of
mending the broken dreams of the modern world.
Your roots are deep and vast as the cosmos;
wisdom pulses through your veins.
Listen deeply to the knowing in your bones.
You belong here on this land, in this time.
Come closer…You belong.
Chameli Gad Ardagh
Everything in this splendorous creation vibrates with the wisdom and creative potential of our origin; how can we possibly “save the earth” without listening and observing the perfection of how She herself has done it for billions of years?
Her wisdom dances in every cell of our bodies. We are made of Her. We are sustained by Her. We are devoured by Her. Gaia’s intelligence is right here, beating our hearts in this very moment.
Nothing is more essential to our individual fulfillment and our common future than realigning with the root of this intimacy with our Mother, deeply honoring and guarding Her infinite source of guidance, resilience and nourishment.
Earth-based wisdom teachings and Goddess mythology from all over the world guide us to see nature and our bodies as the physical expression of the spirit world. In these traditions, spirituality is not somewhere else, away from Earth. The spiritual world permeates all things in the material world, existing in reciprocity with its physical manifestation.
When surface reality becomes imbalanced like we see on Earth today, rather than scrambling for solutions at the level of the problem, the yogini, healer, shaman, and wise woman expands her view and plants her roots in the spiritual world, where she resources wisdom, healing and vision for the benefit of all.
Take your seat, Sister, in this gathering of dream menders. We will be inspired by ancient Goddess mythology and practices of awakening. We will support each other in aligning our daily actions with our values and love for Mother Earth. In awakening from the numbing cycle of denial, shame and overwhelm, together, we will reclaim a human presence deeply rooted in the magnificent dream of Mother Earth.

“I have a deeper sense of belonging, stewardship, and devotion to the shimmering, sacred web of life”
I find no language for so much of what has transpired within me during sadhana. It will take time to integrate… I have a deeper sense of belonging, stewardship, and devotion to the shimmering, sacred web of life. I have a more keen understanding of discerning what is relevant and what is not. My heart has cracked wide open. For me, it feels as though sadhana has just begun… Forehead to the floor. I bow.

“What a delightful and deeply insightful retreat. My heart is overflowing with gratitude.”
This was my first Sadhana with Chameli. What a delightful and deeply insightful retreat. My heart is overflowing with gratitude. Thank you for the invitation to stay raw with the sensation of feelings. I am just unthawing and it has been painful…I am learning to welcome this process with curiosity and compassion. Infinite Blessings.

FAQ
BLANK
What is Shakti Sadhana?
Sadhana means spiritual practice.
Shakti is a Sanskrit name for the feminine creative life force of the universe.
Shakti Sadhana is embodied spiritual practice, where the Goddess is the portal to awakening. In this practice, you consciously engage with both your inner and outer life, your darkness and your light, essentially seeing all of it as part of the unfathomable wholeness you are made of.
Shakti Sadhana is not a seclusive spiritual practice; it is a path that permeates every aspect of our lives.
The Yogini Circle is a timeless field of wisdom. Our online 21 Day Sadhana immersions are gatherings of women from all over the planet, when we come together with a shared intention of awakening, the power of the circle is activated, providing each of us with a powerful transmission of guidance and empowerment.
What will I learn in a 21 Day Sadhana?
In ancient Goddess mythology, we find maps supporting us in this awakening process, and you will be initiated into practices from this alive lineage of women’s embodied spirituality that Chameli and the Awakening Women community are dedicated to.
Will I have the time to do sadhana in the midst of a busy life?
You participate as much as is possible for you. To do some practice is better than no practice, and many of the practices are done in the midst of your life, as it is for you.
Once you enter the sadhana, you enter a mandala of Shakti, of transformation. The practices and teachings will, independent of how much you “do”, unfold in unexpected ways.
How does it work?
For 21 days you will receive an email with a practice, poem or short sutra of awakening. You will also be given access to our online platform we you can access the daily content at your convenience.
Who is it for?
If you feel called, a pull, a sense of YES inside…then claim your seat in the circle.
All levels of experience are welcome. Our focus in embodied spirituality is on direct experience.
YOUR experience is the authority. Always.
“I experience a profound level of trust and commitment amongst my sisters that is unlike any other circle.”
With each sadhana, I experience a profound level of trust and commitment amongst my sisters that is unlike any other circle. I’m carried into an ancient yet familiar heart wisdom that cracks open a river of love within me and flowers the depth of my creative force in the world.

“Chameli is a vibrant flower with a sweet aroma that fills me with happiness…her voice, wisdom, presence is pure nectar.”
Being invited into the sacred circle where hundreds of awakening women held a seat for me was deeply moving. I was welcomed with open arms, and drank from the elixir of sisterhood’s love and beauty. This connection infused my practice of exquisite self care with grace and inspiration. Chameli is a vibrant flower with a sweet aroma that fills me with happiness…her voice, wisdom, presence is pure nectar.

“Chameli Ardagh is masterful at illuminating the ancient Goddess teachings.”
Many of us are inspired by spiritual teachings but to actually embody them, in a daily practice of breathing them in and sweating them out, is a radically different proposition. Chameli Ardagh is masterful at illuminating the ancient Goddess teachings in a way that is supremely tangible for modern women, without sacrificing their depth, creating a kind of frequency that sparks awakening.
