The Institute
A place to share concepts, insights, wisdom, tools within the divine FEMININE universe ❤
Born from the desire to empower ourselves and all the amazing Women who crossed our paths for the past 20+ years working with self development and healing.
We, Paula & Liana, joined our abilities and decided to take AWAKENING SHAKTI RETREAT’ contents further & wider.

SHAKTI ~ शक्ति ~ ŚAKTI
“Energy, ability, strength, effort, power, capability", is the primordial cosmic energy and represents the dynamic forces that are thought to move through the entire universe.
‘Shakti is the personification of the energy that is creative, sustaining, as well as destructive, sometimes referred to as auspicious source energy.’
“Shakti, the feminine aspect, is constantly creating and destroying forms. Externally, she acts through the elemental deities. She appears as the processes of nature and as the activities of your body and brain. In meditation, she manifests as our visionary experience, our inner intuition, as mantra, and as the guiding force behind the journey itself. Shiva is the witness of the great game. Shakti is the actress who plays all the parts. Our human consciousness contains both polarities: each one of us is both witness and player. But our lived experience is almost entirely an experience of Shakti.” @sallykemptonofficial
