About our Initiation Program
The final stage of our Curriculum is not another course, but a sustained period of guided practice, mentorship, and initiation. Open only to students who have completed Foundations of Tantra and The Path of Shakti (Parts I & II), this six-month journey is an initiation into the highest practices of our lineage and integration of the teachings into daily life through continued practice, personal guidance & deeper immersion in our ancient tradition.
The Divine Feminine lineage & the practices of the 64 Yoginis
The Yogini tradition completely rejects the idea that the physical body, sexuality, or messy human emotions are obstacles to spiritual awakening. In this lineage, the world is the playground of the Goddess, and the body is her ultimate temple.
Every emotion—whether it is rage, grief, ecstatic pleasure, or fierce love—is viewed as a specific frequency of divine energy. By entering the circular mandala of the Yoginis, you stop running from your shadows and instead learn to seat them in their rightful place within the cosmic circle, transforming raw instinct into pristine wisdom.

Important things to know:
What will I eat?
We recommend a healthy yogic diet for the duration of your study. There are plenty of Ashrams nearby where you can get your daily meals at an affordable price.
We do not provide food, but we will give you a list of places to eat at during your stay.
Where will this course be held?
Depending on where we are within the country of India at the moment, your accommodation & stay will be arranged. We do spend most of our time in the Himalayas, sometimes in Rishikesh, sometimes in the state of Himachal Pradesh. We will communicate this to you in advance.
Why 6 months?
As one goes deeper into the study of Tantra, one realizes that although it is a very direct approach to self realization, it is not a system which unfolds itself in a single day. More and more practice is required to reach ever-increasing heights of consciousness.
For those aspiring to adopt the Tantric way of life, we recommend a minimum of a 6-month long intensive study. This time-frame allows one to truly immerse oneself in the system, allowing time to fully relax, integrate and appreciate the intricacies of the teachings. As the body and mind are brought into harmony, the student is able to move past limitations, resulting into a full and meaningful life.
These courses include study of the original ancient Sanskrit texts of Tantra, and ends at the highest of practices which are only transmitted directly from a master.
Where will I stay?
We will arrange your stay at a nearby place of your choice based on your budget & what you feel is affordable to you.
Our school does have associated rooms, which you can choose to stay in.
Why are there no scheduled dates for the initiation course?
Because the Initiation program is 6-months long, they run side by side with other scheduled courses. Part of being initiated, also includes learning the art of teaching new students. As such, when you enroll in a initiation course, you are also given the responsibility to assist with new students and teaching them various practices.
