Facing the Shadow, Claiming the Crown: Teachings of Kali with Karen McGovern

  • The Healing Hive at Folkmoot USA 112 Virginia Ave, Room A-2 Waynesville, NC 28786 United States (map)

A Transformative Journey with Goddess Kali

Enter the fierce grace of Kali, the great goddess of liberation and transformation. She is the dark mother who cuts through illusion, dissolves fear, and awakens the power of truth within us.
Through her dance of destruction and renewal, we are invited to face our shadows with courage, release what no longer serves, and reclaim the crown of our true sovereignty.

In this circle, we will call upon Kali’s shakti—her primal, untamed energy—to help us stand fiercely in our authenticity and love. The Celtic Morrigan, a sister archetype of shadow and sovereignty, will accompany our exploration as a mirror of inner strength and rebirth.

🌺 What to Expect:

  • Sacred Storytelling – Discover the transformative myth of Kali and her relevance in our modern search for freedom and wholeness.

  • Mindful Movement & Mudras – Engage in gentle, flowing movement and sacred hand gestures that connect with the chakras, awakening the body’s energy centers.

  • Mantra & Meditation – Invoke the fierce compassion of Kali through chant and guided meditation to clear, protect, and empower the heart.

  • Reflection & Journaling – Time for quiet contemplation to integrate insights; please bring your journal if you wish to capture your experience.
