Rewilding Educational Retreats

Do you feel that you may not be seizing all that this amazing life has to offer? Did you ever look around you and think “I am more than this!”
It is time to remember who you truly are, to travel to places that stoke your authentic creativity and remind you of your purpose.
It's time to connect with your people—those with whom you feel most at hOMe—who make you feel alive.

​Our educational retreats will help you root deeply so that you can soar inexhaustibly...​ and actually FEEL yourself rewilding into your most authentic freedom. 
"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; she moves and breathes through even the most challenging of life's experiences with such grace, surrender, and openness.

Her teaching style is deeply engaging. Shakti's child-like innocence and bubbling curiosity brings an ever-evolving freshness and aliveness to everyone who is blessed to have her as a teacher and a friend. I am so blessed and so grateful to have her in my life as both."  
— Dhyana Masla, Stanton Street Yoga, New York NY. ​
​“I just wanted to express my gratitude towards you for sharing your story so openly. I came across an article you wrote in elephant journal and then went on to read your bio on your website and was amazed to see that you have gone through the same EXACT things I have and have overcome them so beautifully. Thank you so much. ♥ You are inspiring and now whenever I feel sad I try to think of you and how you have overcome and turned all the bad things into creative, healing energy.”
— Ashley Carone, Santa Cruz CA.

"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..."
​— T. Morick, Angola IN.​
"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 prayed for color. ...I received a vision cast for yoga & music... Google took me to yrp & that led to Erik & then to you. I'm living my life in full psychedelic color and you, Goddess, your poetry, vision, all of it, I'm so grateful for!!!"

"R.R. Shakti speaks with such clarity that she simply dispels those nagging little consequences of stress in the modern world. My trust in myself is absolute, my love for others is limitless. She turned my life in a new direction, and all in 45 minutes."
—Jonathan Catmur via Shakti Yogi Journal
"A journey like no other and I continue to learn from my friend and teacher Shakti."

​Thank you for passing along your gifts!  It is so amazing to me that the universe brought us together, so that I could discover my inner power and awaken...LOVE coming to you."  
— Kathy Baird, Rockville MD.
"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.
One of the coolest things I’ve learned from Shakti
is that everyone embodies all archetypes.
I’m also a sucker for a great story.
It’s hard not to fall in love with the soulful and heart-filled way in which Shakti shares the stories of the gods and goddesses"
—Talaya Thomas, Unity Productions Steamboat Springs CO.

Why Now?

If there has ever been a time for the reconciliation of opposites, it is NOW. 
 
Human survival relies on seeing and receiving the "other." Reclamation of the God/dess invites you to remember your unique and creative soul-making potential as an ever-evolving sacred dance of duality:
ego and shadow, masculine and feminine, dark and light, heaven and earth Self and other.

​God/dess invites you to experience the sacred union within. She invites you to your deepest soul's purpose.
She calls you into your strongest courage, deepest compassion and most creative clarity.

Soul Story Catalog

Awaken the Guru Within as you encounter demonic scoundrels, epic heroes, ascetics, aesthetics, and ritual. These are some of the stories behind the practice, history, and alchemy of yoga. 
 Confront and transform what limits you with profound Courage and Compassion. Prepare to expand beyond even your greatest fears! 
Chakra stories illuminate and clarify personal myth. Let them inspire you to step into the infinite potential of your daily choices and live fearlessly awake in the present moment. 
Goddess images and archetypes address some of the most significant challenges of the world today—social equality, sustainable engagement with Earth’s resources, and the somatic healing of emotional wounds. ​
