Purna: Embracing the Nine Forms of the Divine Feminine
In a world that feels increasingly chaotic and disconnected, many of us yearn for a deeper understanding of ourselves and our place in the universe. The ancient wisdom of Hinduism offers a path to self-discovery and spiritual growth. Its true essence, however, is often lost amidst popularized notions and oversimplifications.
The Hindu tradition dedicates 9 days to the Divine Feminine during the Hindu festival of Navratri. These 9 days bring our attention to the nine principle versions of the divine feminine, as well as the interdependence of the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine. Take a pause with Preeti and Margot as they present the opportunity to tend to the divinity within ourselves, as conveyed at the heart of the Vedic teachings. Explore Vedic culture in its practical, psychological, philosophical, spiritual and mystical dimensions.
Margot and Preeti will introduce Purna Pilgrimage, A Journey into Wholeness, Embracing the Nine Forms of the Divine Feminine, a retreat with Ubiquity University during the Hindu Festival of Navratri, from 21 September through 1 October 2025, in the primeval and untouched heart of Goa, India.
