The Three
Sacred Fires

TENDING TO THE FLAME OF DIVINE SPIRIT


MANTRA, TANTRA & DIVINE FEMININE WISDOM
with Stephanie Chee Barea

The ancients knew fire as the first guru – our original teacher – the spiritual ancestor of all people of all races and continents. They honored the fire through ritual and practice, aligning themselves with the cosmic movement of light and consciousness.

The Three Sacred Fires is a seasonally attuned course of study and practice that will unveil and illuminate both the uniqueness and fullness of your spirit – your sovereign nature – your birthright – your highest expression sourced from inner wisdom, clarity and power. We do this for ourselves, and the collective.

Tune into the lunar cycles, co-create community, and joyfully strengthen your connection to Source with Stephanie Chee Barea as your guide.

“When we participate in such special or sacred fires, particularly at key transitional points of sunrise and sunset, full moon nights or the solstices, we enter into the universal order of light. We become part of the day, the month and the year. The universe begins to stir inside us and work its magic of growth and change. Time becomes a process of transformation, nourishing our inner light and ripening our souls.” - American Institute of Vedic Studies

IN-DEPTH STUDY + PRACTICE + COMMUNITY

For many of us the learning process, and even our spiritual practice can feel linear and lonely. While alone time to immerse ourselves in practice and contemplation is necessary, it’s also beneficial to engage with a community willing to support. 

Each week we gather in the virtual temple for group practice and sacred study, to chant mantra and co-create a luminous vibratory field for us to then explore, discuss and contemplate scripture, ancient myths, and creation stories as a means to uncover and remember our own connection to the awakened Feminine energy of the cosmos.

Let's honor and strengthen our individual powers of illumination by gathering our light around the sacred fire of Source Knowledge, that same primordial spark that lit the cosmos from which we came. This offering is scheduled in rhythm with Nature and Her Cycles as determined by the phases of the moon.

“WE LIVE IN A VIBRATORY UNIVERSE. WE CREATE, SUSTAIN, AND AMPLIFY THE FREQUENCIES WE HOLD AND FEED.

By choosing to feed higher vibrational thoughts and emotions, we elevate our own frequency. When we elevate our own frequency, we contribute greatly to the elevation of the planetary vibration, and we open ourselves and the world around us to greater creative possibilities.” – Sherri Mitchell Weh'na Ha'mu Kwasset

AUTUMN
THE FIRE OF SELF-KNOWLEDGE
AWAKEN JNANA SHAKTI + REPLENISH THE SELF-LUMINOUS MIND

FRIDAYS, 10:00A - 11:00A PST /1:00P – 2:00P EST

October 1 – November 19, 2021

Gather with Stephanie on Friday mornings this autumn for The Fire of Self-Knowledge – an immersive progression of practice and study in the vast field of Tantra, Mantra and Divine Feminine Wisdom.

The Fire of Self-Knowledge is the awakened Feminine cosmic energy of the bija (seed sound) "AIM". In alliance with Matangi – the Cosmic Feminine Energy of Unconditional Love + Acceptance – we will bravely explore how the shakti (power) of Self-Knowledge acts as both the goal and the means to reveal and understand our fears, dis-ease and limiting beliefs. As we illuminate our karmic shadows, we reclaim our own unique power to see, know, and transform the stories of past, present and future. We remember and re-cognize the brilliance we have otherwise forgotten or hidden away.

Each Group Practice + Study session will focus on a particular mantra and melody for chanting and include satsang "being in the company of truth" wherein we dive deep into the more contemplative aspect of mantra practice, to cultivate our own relationship with sacred sound and Source Wisdom. We will work with each mantra as a vibrational modality to heal and nourish the forces of mind, and to re-establish a balance of sacred energies for ourselves as well as the collective. Open Office Hours will allow for additional questions, practice guidance, and one-on-one support.
