209 | Roar Like a Goddess with Acharya Shunya

Join Angela and guest Acharya Shunya in this episode: Roar Like a Goddess. In this conversation, Shunya discusses what it means to be a feminist teacher shattering norms in a largely patriarchal tradition, and how and why archetypes of popular Hindu goddesses Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati theory can be foundational wisdom for all female-identifying people seeking authentic empowerment. In this episode, learn more about: • the inspiration for writing about goddesses • what goddess power is and what Acharya Shunya means by roaring • goddess rage - what it is, what it is not, and what it looks like • the importance of recognizing and having conversations around irrational feminine guilt • where to find the stories of goddess mythology • why goddess temples in India were destroyed AND MORE The first female lineage-holder of her distinguished Vedic tradition, Acharya Shunya is an internationally renowned scholar, teacher, author, speaker and scholar of nondual wisdom (Advaita) from India, and a classically-trained master of Yoga and Ayurveda. She is the Founder of The Awakened Self Foundation and the nonprofit Vedika Global, Inc., platforms headquartered in Northern California, that empower, educate, and inspire a global community of students through online courses, workshops, and retreats.
