Presentation

Presentación:

More than a class, this gathering is a theoretical and experiential exploration of the feminine principle as a force of transformation and psychic balance.

Drawing from her background in Hindu studies, sacred art, and transpersonal psychology, Shamti Ruiz Nambiar offers a symbolic reading of the feminine power as an active energy in the processes of integration, healing, and the development of consciousness.

Through the integration of Goddess archetype studysymbolic reflection, and a guided meditative practice, this session invites participants on a journey into the heart of Devi (Sanskrit for “goddess”): the cosmic feminine energy that sustains, destroys, and renews all forms of life.

But why does the Divine Mother, or the essence of Shakti, play such a vital role in the process of purification, release of negative psychological tendencies, and inner transformation?

In this session, we will reflect upon this question through the lens of Hindu philosophical traditions and Puranic texts, supported by the symbolic study of feminine archetypes from the perspective of Pneuma Studies.

From this integrative vision, the Divine Mother not only represents the matrix of all creation, but also the force that enables the purification of the psyche and the restoration of inner order — an essential role in the process of human evolution and the awakening of consciousness.

“I am the Mother of the universe. From Me all things are born, and in Me all things rest.”

Content and Foundations

Free Special Class – November 2

In the Hindu tradition, the feminine energy, or Shakti, represents the dynamic force of the universe — the conscious power that gives shape to existence and transforms it.
It is the vital current that manifests through three sacred acts: creation, preservation, and dissolution.

During this class, we will explore the main expressions of this energy through the archetypes of Parvati, Lakshmi, Saraswati, and Kali, understanding how each reflects the psychological and spiritual dimensions of the human process of transformation:

Parvati – Willpower, discipline, and union with the Divine.
She embodies spiritual determination and the inner strength that drives growth.
Egyptian parallel: Isis, symbol of love that restores wholeness and brings life back.

Lakshmi – Harmony, abundance, and inner grace.
Her energy promotes balance between matter and spirit, as well as emotional stability.
Egyptian parallel: Hathor, goddess of joy, fertility, and beauty.

Saraswati – Wisdom, knowledge, and the creative word.
She represents clarity, creativity, and the conscious expression of the soul.
Egyptian parallel: Maat, the principle of order, truth, and cosmic justice.

Kali – Elimination and purification.
She embodies the power of time and transformation — the energy that dissolves illusion and liberates the essence of Being.
Egyptian parallel: Sekhmet, the solar lioness who purifies through inner fire.

“The feminine principle is the mystery of creation itself: the womb from which all forms arise.”
— 
Joseph Campbell
