The chakra system is a beautiful, holistic framework for exploring human energy, health, and experience.  Although we often associate the chakras with yoga, through the chakra lens we can investigate everything from how we hold ourselves physically, to our thought and emotional patterns, to our work, to our relationships, to the food we eat, to the songs we sing, to our visionary experiences.  Through chakra learning, we gain greater understanding of our energy makeup, develop skills to help ourselves and others find balance, move towards healing old and cultural wounds, and enrich our lives immeasurably.  This apprenticeship, rooted in the body's knowing, the deep intelligence of the psyche, and the truth of the natural world, will shift your perceptions, widen your understanding, and support your growth and healing.

What We Do

Throughout this apprenticeship, we explore our lives with depth, clarity, and compassion.  We learn the energetic anatomy of the seven primary chakras, but more importantly, we experience it, and the chakras transform from an esoteric idea into a living and practical reality.  We engage in physical, lifestyle, and plant practices that support each chakra's health and development.  We look honestly and gently at our lives and how we show up in them.  We build a community of women who share similar language.

Why We Practice

The goal of this apprenticeship is for participants to find their lives richer and fuller, with more of a sense of the sacred and more of a sense of the magic of the ordinary.  You are invited to move at your own pace.  This apprenticeship is open to all women.  You do not need to know yoga to participate.  You do need a strong sense of commitment and a capacity to self-motivate.

How It Works

Each month you receive weekly lessons, and there is reading, writing, and personal exploration involved.  You are asked to take walks in nature, take care of your body, sing, record your dreams, write your memories.  You source your creativity, and you meditate.  You have the opportunity to explore flower essences and divination.  You share as much of your experience with the group as you care to, through personal inquiry and confidential group discussion.  You bring your own wisdom and gifts to our community, so there is a sharing of interests.

​How To Participate

The course transpires via email and through a booklist.  Occasionally there are videos, but it is ultimately a fairly low-tech situation.  What you get from the apprenticeship is what you put into it, how you choose to explore, and how you choose to share of yourself.

The cost of the apprenticeship is $125 per month.  Size is very limited -- please apply early.  Some scholarships may be available. Please send letters of intent to Debra at seedandlegend@gmail.com.
