Liberation, Kali Awakening and Embracing Shakti with Achal
In this episode I interview Achal who is the founder of Daughters of Kali. She is a force of inspiration for south asian and women of color who are decolonising their hearts, roots and spirituality from the age old westernisation of indigenous and ancient ancestral wisdom of the vedic, yogic and tantric lineages. She is a teacher, coach and space holder for temple spaces for BIPOC women specifically 'brown sisters' ready to reclaim their shakti, "feminine power" and confront fear and shame instilled by a capitalistic culture, patriarchal society and colonial mentality of both those that colonise and those that have been colonised.
To connect with Achal and Daughters of Kali head over to her instagram @daughtersofkali.co and find her current offers Kali Awakening, Return of the Devadasis and 1:1 Ancestral & Energetic Support before she departs for her pilgrimage and on the grounds project in India to make the mission of DoK even bigger and grander than ever.
