“The classes that Dawn taught about the goddesses were so amazing. Personally, Kali and Saraswati were the two that touched me, literally. I could feel their presence so vividly when I would recite their mantras and they were both presented to me at times when I needed them most. Kali was there for me at the beginning of the year when I realized that I needed to let go of thoughts and feelings that were weighing me down. I had never experienced anything like it until I learned about Saraswati. She gave me back my writing which I lost for some time. I had sat down to mediate the next day and upon finishing immediately started to write. It felt so freeing and liberating. I have such gratitude for having met Dawn and being able to attend her workshops, with hopefully more to follow.”

“Rebecca’s classes are a great combination of strength and flexibility. She’s instructive, encouraging and tailors classes so new students feel welcome to participate alongside long-time practitioners. Rebecca’s instruction made a quick and lasting impact on all my daily activities; I encourage everyone to work with her!”
