Come join us for the convergence of International Day of Yoga, Full Moon and Summer Solstice with a Gāyatrī Vedic Fire Ceremony! You are so welcome.In the study of yoga, Goddess Gāyatrī is the power behind the sun and mother of the universe. She is also the giver of wisdom, protection, and strength. She supports us to access our deepest knowing and illuminates Truth within us.
We will chant the Gāyatrī Mantra x 108 – one of the most ancient and powerful yogic mantras – that is believed to contain the knowledge (Truth) of the universe. It is a yogic prayer dedicated to illuminating our intellect, so that we may gracefully make discerning choices that support love, truth and unity – cutting through fear, illusion and separation. The Gāyatrī Mantra is the giver of bliss, cultivates immense wisdom (of our True Nature), and supports liberation.
This mantra also helps to remove toxins from the body, improves concentration and deeper breathing, dissolves negativity, reduces stress and anxiety, calms the mind and balances the nervous system, while keeping the heart and respiratory system healthy.
Bring your sankalpa (intention) and make offerings and prayers to the fire of wisdom. You will hear stories of Goddess Gāyatrī, and we will utilize the Gāyatrī yantra (yogic sacred geometry) and mudra (yogic sacred seals) to enhance our practice. Participants will leave with an anointment of sacred ash and Ganges water from our ceremony, and prasad – which represents the sweetness of the ritual and the blessings it carries. You are so welcome.
Here is a translation of the Gāyatrī Mantra:
We meditate on that wondrous spirit of the Divine Solar Light
which shines in every dimension of life.
May that Light inspire and guide our inner vision.
We will explore further translations during our time together.
This offering is centred in the roots of yoga, traditional yoga, and bhakti yoga. Yoga is rooted in the Vedic lineage of Satya’s ancestors.

FROM CEREMONY PARTICIPANTS:
"Satya’s milk and honey voice is thoroughly dialled in to her topic, and I’m deeply affected by the ceremony, and the effects are ongoing for several days after her events. I will prioritize attendance each and every time Satya comes to MĀ. Thanks again for the exceptional ceremony."
~ WENDY D
"Thank you for sharing the wisdom/traditions of your lineage, Satya. I appreciated the chance to participate in a ritual that is outside my culture and spiritual background. I appreciated the sense of sacred community and sharing, the joining of voices in chanting - and the beautiful space."
~ SHAWNA K
“I most appreciated it was culturally/spiritually authentic. Your knowledge, study and lineage was important to me, to attend.”
~ LEILA R
"I very much appreciated the depth of learning and the connection of ritual and ceremony to learning about the Goddess. I had some great ’a-ha’ moments. I was very moved by the inclusion of your own lineage in the ceremony, Satya. It’s an incredible gift."
~ CHRISTIE R
"Thank you for providing our community with such a beautiful ceremony. You have a gift! And I felt like I was in India. I am still feeling the effects of the ceremony with a kind of wild goddess energy. It was very special that you brought water from the Ganges River."
