There’s a place inside of you that is both wild and steady, focused and untamable, brilliant and fragile.

There is a school on the planet that is currently training tigers to become wild again.

This school teaches us how to magnetize and evolve on both the worldly and spiritual realms. There is a radiant splendor to your personality that has the capacity to draw and melt all hearts.

That place longs to be birthed. Shakti School is the birthing ground.

Let us midwife you into the next stage of your love-evolution with a community committed to telling the truth. Join a school based on the premise that your soul’s longing to be and become are crucial to the future of humanity.

Awaken the inner lioness of fierce compassion and sensuality. Awaken the lost warrior who has forgotten how to remain committed to her own inner roar.

Our students form a global collective of visionary change-makers who use the sacred technology of inner wisdom to uncover and fearlessly offer their unique gifts to the planet.

Through the commitment to this education platform, we share the common goal of personal self-mastery as the starting point for bringing more healing, pleasure and freedom to ourselves and our communities.

Our Mission

The Shakti School’s mission is to uplift and nurture feminine-form movement and healing arts, and the rise of women stepping into their spiritual and creative authority.

This is important to us because when women truly step into their power, they use that power for the greater good. We are a 100% women-owned and operated small-business offering a creative, spiritually-inclined space for Divine Feminine Flow.

The Shakti School’s offerings are an amalgamation of lead teacher and founder Katie Silcox and the team’s journey through yoga and the holistic health movement.

We prioritize personal health and the health of our beloved planet Earth. At The Shakti School, we understand that changing the world and healing the planet starts with the integration of the individual first.

We believe in the interconnection of personal and collective evolution at all levels: spiritually, intellectually, sexually and emotionally.

We understand life as a long-term journey of learning, and value dynamic dialogue and evolutionary partnerships.

We cherish traditional wisdoms like yoga, Ayurveda and folk herbology, and enjoy integrating emergent wisdom from contemporary neuroscience, somatic psychology and functional medicine.

We are deeply honored and delighted to be sharing these teachings with you.

No matter your dreams or obstacles, you have the power to change your life and change the world. We know these teachings and methodologies, and the work we do together, will help you do just that.

The heart chakra is where we get a second pass at The heart chakra is where we get a second pass at our emotions—the sacral chakra says, “How does this make ME feel?” The heart says, “How does this experience affect EVERYONE?”⁠
⁠
When we allow our emotions to rise into the heart, we can hold our own feelings alongside an awareness of the collective.⁠
⁠
We begin to understand that we’re all touched by the same moment in different ways, because we’re each seeing through a unique lens and set of past experiences. ⁠

Join us on June 26th from 10am-12pm ET for our next Spirit Sessions deep dive into the Heart Chakra! ⁠

Healing doesn’t happen in one meditation practice (or even one therapy session). True healing is actually a lifetime of learning to love and accept who you really are.

Authentic self-compassion isn’t about deleting our darkness or getting rid of our shadows. It’s about developing our capacity to hold it all. ✨

Whether you already have a spiritual practice or you have no connection to any tradition, this program is for women from all paths. Shakti Ayurveda School is about exploring what works for you and discovering how ancient wisdom can meet your real, modern, everyday life.⁠ 🪷⁠

The coolest part—we can now measure the electromagnetic frequency of the heart up to three feet away from the body (and the ancient teachings hold that this frequency extends infinitely, and we can grow it by working with the heart center).⁠
