The fierce forms of the Goddess represent our capacity for radical change and unconditional love. Sometimes her iconography is misunderstood as dark or negative. Without understanding, we often fear this powerful medicine or try to avoid interacting with it. While darkness is a component of the Goddess, in her terrible form she invites us to evolve our relationship with what we consider to be "dark" and bring us back to a place of receptivity to all of life. The Goddess in her ferocious forms mirrors to us fearlessness, transparency, and powerful shakti. Learning from these Goddess energies helps us tap into our own inherent inner strength and courage.

We will discuss and explore the Goddess as:

• Kali

• Dhumavati

• Chinnamasta

• Durga

The medicine of these Goddesses ask us not to turn away from the truth, even if it is intense or outside of our preference. Even when it seems scary or dark. She asks us to observe : what do we turn away from in life and what do we turn away from in the self? Studying this and dissolving separation helps one experience MA in everything.
