GODDESS IMMERSION COURSE

FEB 2024

The intention of this course is to recognise, integrate and embody the qualities that the rich symbology of each Goddess expresses, providing you with a steady, practical foundation for you to flow with life as it shows up during these times of great change.


It is mainly a transmission based, practical course with yoga philosophy & psychology woven through each meeting, giving space for you to have a direct experience of the topics and universal principles discussed.
This course draws on wisdom teachings from Hatha Yoga, Tantric Yoga, Nada Yoga and non-dual pointers. Each month we will delve into the rich symbology of a new Goddess and her Consort where appropriate (not all the Goddesses have consorts), through discourse and applied practice, ensuring you are demonstrating the integration of the practices as we flow along and how this wisdom can be applied through your daily lives.


The course runs from 4th February through to the closing circle on 1st September 2024. Content is delivered live in Margam and/or online via Zoom, with the option to attend monthly course days in person. Recorded online content will be available to those on the course. Every month, you will receive live teaching / guidance, this is a 60 hour contact time course. You will be fully supported during and after the course for this deep dive into these wisdom teachings. Each month you will receive personal guidance and support for the process you will be going through.

Dr Helen Sparrow-Watkins

“The Goddess immersion course has been one of the most, if not the most, powerful courses I have ever attended. The immersion into the symbology of each Goddess through meditation, asana and kirya practices was incredibly enlightening with each Goddess having their own unique wisdom to share. Being able to directly access such ancient wisdom in a practical way was a joy and sharing this within a group context felt like a great honour.
Although the journey over the 6 months was not always an easy one I feel I am now in tune with my body in a way I have never been before and I am enormously appreciative of this. I know that the learning from this course will be lifelong and I’m grateful to have these practices and the wisdom of the Goddesses to turn to in coming years. None of this could have been achieved without Michele’s deep wisdom guiding us along the way in a steady and heartfelt manner- I’m excited to continue on the journey with her and the Ma’s yoga family.”

“I want to express my deepest gratitude for you and your sharing of this life changing immersion. I feel ten feet tall…..life is unfolding and as it flows I feel so very alive, able to feel intensely the multitude of emotions we can experience. 
Thank you, doesn’t quite express. You have been a mirror and I see at times when I have been hiding but I feel free, free to express free to explore the beauty of this life with strength, resilience and so much love. 
May you continue to shine so we too can shine.”

“The Goddess Immersion course was offered to me at a time when I was looking for some extra yoga practice to support me as I was returning to Education studying Person centred counselling aged 60. Michele Used the beautiful symbology of the goddesses to bring awareness to and see through the illusion of our conditioning and self-concepts inviting us to live in the truth of our authentic self. Her rich use of language and extensive knowledge brought the deities alive in the practices and we came to recognise them in all aspects of ourselves during daily life. 
 Michele held an incredible space in which to explore, challenge and the same time nourish ourselves through a journey of six months immersion of self-awareness. Michele offered many different practices during the course that were tailored to suit individual needs. Michele amazingly, is able to support a class of very diverse needs and levels of yoga experience.
Through working with Michele alongside my studies I have been able to find the link that brings the yoga to life in my work. The course has enabled me to feel safer in accessing my emotions more deeply enabling more understanding of the patterns I hold that play out in my life. Michele as always provided a safe and supportive environment for this to happen organically. After experiencing all this on our journey with Michele I feel more able to work with my emotions with self-acceptance and curiosity with the intention of showing up in the world authentically.”

“This course has taken my practice to another level and enabled me to develop a regular and fulfilling home practice in a way that I have not been able to before. The course covered a wide range of practices from pranayama and meditations to asana and kirtan, great variety with excellent recordings and handouts to support you. Michele has put so much love and care into the content and flow of the course to safely guide us through the process and any challenges faced along the way, creating a safe space where all can contribute and be heard. Completing the course has resulted in a lot of changes for me such as patterns of behaviour falling away, better discernment, greater resilience and an ongoing feeling of connectedness and love. Michele invests a lot of time and care into every aspect of the course to give personalised advice and guidance for your process as well as the group sessions. All of her advice and feedback has been spot on and is delivered sensitively and with care. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone looking to deepen their practice, it’s been an amazing experience that will stay with me always.” – Carla Connolly “On this Goddess Immersion course Michele fully channelled the energies of each Goddess, with her direction and guidance via Asana, Mantra and Meditation helped me embody each one. Every month was a different journey some not easy which has helped me either strip or notice conditioned patterns of behaviour so that I can become my authentic creative self. Female energy is so important to all genders, to bring back the balance of life, to embrace the power of creativity and Michele whole heartedly developed this course to illuminate the significance of this. Thank you Michele, I look forward to whatever comes next.”

“Ma’s yoga course was a journey of self-exploration with each Goddess offering different qualities to evoke deeper understanding of self. Ma shared a variety of tools to help support deeper connections and insight. While some techniques were more challenging than others, Ma guided me through these difficult times.
The course has opened my mind to new ways of being and acceptance with “what is”. I have greater awareness of who “I” am to continue developing this further. It was truly a magical course shared with special friends. Thank you Michele, for your constant love and commitment to us all.”

“Thank you, Michele, for another truly wonderful course.  I wasn’t sure what to expect with The Goddess Immersion other than an opportunity to deepen my practice and learn more about the goddesses who, until then, were just stories to me.  What you delivered was, as ever, beautifully authentic – your transmission of the goddess energy, the divine feminine.  Your skilled guidance brought the goddesses to life, and I now see how their qualities are reflections of our human nature. 
Through a range of immersive practices (asana, meditation, pranayama, kirtan and mantra) I have experienced their energies directly.  Although sometimes challenging, you were always on hand to support and guide us.  You ensured we learned how to navigate these ‘difficult’ experiences safely and could transform them into healing and growth.  I also love how you fostered the supportive community spirit in the group, which continues in our regular classes despite the end of this course.  For anyone wishing to delve deeper in their practice, I would highly recommend this course – I can’t wait to hear what your next offering will be!”

“Feels like I can live in a different way. Open less restricted in mind and body.

Ahh that’s what the frozen does, restricts, binds, holds.

Everything is the same and yet everything is different, 

Lighter

Fresh

Free

The delights of practice! 

A difference that makes a difference

I WAS SEEN AS IF FOR THE FIRST TIME.

A gift of tears as I recognise something.

From my heart to your heart with love and boundless gratitude.

Something about the significance of sharing, trust and allowing and the truth and recognition of patience in practice.”
