Meet Shakti.

Welcome Soul Artist! 

...that means you!  
You are a Soul Artist.
​Only you can create your most meaningful life.
I know this because I am a Soul Artist too.
Together, let's explore what it means to live a deeply meaningful, wildly peaceful and LOVE-soaked life.

There are no answers, only stories.
As a Contemplative Mythologist, I share soul stories–folktales, epics, alchemical works, and dream images–from throughout history and around the globe. Decode the mythic symbols and archetypes that provide inspiration and encouragement for your real-life  human experience.  

What you don't know can, indeed, harm you.
Treasures abound in the depth of your unconscious mind. As a Depth Psychologist, I help you navigate the deepest layers of your creative psyche. Recognize your personal mythology–the life stories that empower you...and the ones that limit you. Unpack the wisdom of your dreams. Break free from limitations to discover deeper relationships and fulfill your soul's unique purpose.

Nature is our greatest healer. 
As an Ayurveda & Vāstu Consultant, I offer solutions for living a holistically balanced life. .Attune with the rhythms of nature for healing and personal growth. Align with the divine beauty of the elements. Super-charge your food choices and living environment to realize your optimal wellness and create your sacred space. 

Yoga is relationship. 
I have served as a Yoga Teacher for more than two decades and, for me, the most impactful revelation of the practice is this: You are whole. You are the creative power of the universe*" You are the eternal witness within. When you know yourself as whole, you can truly see another in their wholeness, with courage and unwavering compassion.
As Jungian Analyst, Edward Edinger wrote: "When enough individuals carry this consciousness of wholeness, the world itself will become whole." This is the dawning of a new yoga, beyond the confines of East or West. This is yoga as relationship: the dawning of a Love beyond all opposites. 

My job isn't complete until you realize you don't need me. 
Once upon a time, I was an outdoor adventure guide, working for companies like the Colorado Outward Bound School. Today, I am a Spiritual Guide, I weave World Mythology and Depth Psychology with ecological awareness, wellness practices and embodied ritual, And I guide people, just like you, home to their deepest wisdom. My offerings present a Tantrik approach to personal empowerment and social action, to share a vision of deep peace and radical freedom. Together, we may explore the vast wilderness of the Rocky Mountain landscape. We may traverse the fields and caverns of your inner landscape. There will be challenges and triumphs along the way, as we discover what it means to live a deeply meaningful life. 

After living nearly 50 years on this planet, Earth, I have realized my soul's dharma:
  • to provide you safe and inspired passage on this journey. 
  • to  offer you psycho-spiritual insight and encouragement.
  • to point out the landmarks of miraculous beauty and mysterious shadow along the way
–until ultimately, you know yourself as a Soul Artist. Until you know that you are the one you have been waiting for. Until you have created the most wildly, epic, beautifully meaningful, soul-expressed life. 

​I am a story-hunter, a peace warrior, and a Soul Artist—a Mythologist, writing (and rewriting) my own story every day. 
​​I want you to realize your most empowering story...
​a story of unwavering courage, profound compassion, and your ultimate creative power.

​
—Jonathan Catmur via Shakti Yogi Journal
"Colorful, magnetic, creative, passionate, dynamic...
With such grace and optimism, Shakti always seems to tap into the deeper current of Truth beyond the surface waves of what is apparent...Her teaching style is deeply engaging. 
​
— Dhyana Masla | Stanton Street Yoga, New York NY. ​
"I was reflecting on the journey this morning in practice, and I remembered when my world felt grey. I would read your poem- "Goddess." It woke me up to something I knew but had forgotten. I'm living my life in full psychedelic color and you, Goddess, your poetry, vision, all of it, I'm so grateful for!!!"  
​
— Lora Mccarville Ranam | Pranam Yoga Shala, Omaha NE
"R.R. Shakti, has been, and is, an incredible inspiration. She has helped me to grow and broadened my understanding of how we are all connected—not only to each other but also to our planet, our universe, and the great divine that resides in all beings. 
—Talaya Thomas | Unity Productions Steamboat Springs CO.
"..She not only is an amazing wealth of knowledge, she also embodies the depth of yoga and lives it in all aspects of her life. She has cultivated an exquisite capacity to lead, relate, and transmit the wisdom of her studies through living it."
​
—Thomas Radtke, Sedona Arizona
"Being a student of Shakti’s for more than ten years has given me the tools I need to face my shadows and expose my true light. Her innate wisdom to teach from the heart coupled with her genuine love of teaching, constantly inspires me to want to live my life from its highest potential as authentically as I can. Her gift and ability to share through storytelling makes learning from her a unique privilege unlike any other student/teacher experience."

– Colleen Rose | Keeping Up with Colleen, Miramar Lake FL
"Shakti is the kind of teacher you can practice and study with time and time again. Her unique transmissions encompass a multitude of layers. She is infinitely interesting and interested. In just one encounter, you’ll feel enriched and the teachings, the breadth she is capable of imprinting, will continue to expand and reveal itself for many moments to come.”

– Erin Watkins | Ray of Light. Leadville CO
"The vast breadth and depth of Shakti’s wisdom and knowledge is perfectly matched and balanced by her expansive heart. She uses psychology and myth, holistic wisdom, experience, and the ancient texts and stories of yoga to infuse all of her teachings. Shakti is thoughtful, spiritual, and sage. She teaches with grace from the depth of her own eternal light and shines it radiantly on everyone she meets."
– Ingrid Sepahpur, Lincoln NE
"Studying under Shakti was an amazing spiritual awakening! She is the most studied individual I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. She empowered each of us to find our own path as an instructor by educating us with science-based information. I am more then prepared to lead others to the wonderful path of yoga!"

– Traci Rocho, Fremont IN
“Shakti has this unique joyously maternal intensity that provides a balance rare in practice. As she guides you through class, she leads you on a journey colored with myth, tantra, science, love, and likely many giggles—and you follow her every step of the way. She is the teacher who reminds you of your true nature and reflects that back to you: she offers you an experience of yourself as love...and patiently waits for you to take it.”

– Gretchen Fruchey | Gretchen Fruchey Yoga, Fort Wayne IN
“My life began feeling quite different after my first experience with Shakti. Her energy and teachings, I will take with me all through life. In a world desperately seeking love, Shakti has managed  to be an effortless and endless wellspring. I am forever grateful to not only be a student but as Shakti says “a student/teacher/friend."

– Casey McVay | Yoga for the Peaceful, Crested Butte CO
