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.

…when you’re in a love affair with your own in …when you’re in a love affair with your own inner best friend, healer or parent and realize that you have a presence within you that offers the guidance, love and acceptance you really long for. 💞 

When you meet this inner companion, the need for outside validation begins to fade. You realize that the most powerful healing force you’ve ever known lies with your relationship to your Higher Self or personal connection to Divinity.

Or maybe you’ve been lucky enough to have one of those few special friends in your life who serves in this role for you—tag someone below who makes you feel this way. 🤝🏽
On the summer solstice, the earth is closest to th On the summer solstice, the earth is closest to the sun. Solar energy reaches a peak, and we can experience this solar energy within us on a subtle level if we pay close attention.⁠
⁠
The solstice is a time to let our UP + OUT energy flow, experience the higher frequencies of celebration and bask in the abundance of light.⁠
⁠
P.S. Go deeper with us into an elemental study of nature and your body’s innate wisdom in our free Women’s Wisdom and Ayurveda mini-course. Comment WISDOM below to get access now. 🌼🌿
Nature always knows how to help us stay balanced, Nature always knows how to help us stay balanced, and Mama Nature is always offering us her health-giving gifts in the form of seasonal produce! Ayurveda teaches us to eat with the seasons—in summertime, that means letting our food nourish and cool us from the inside out.⁠
⁠
Here are my go-to summer fruits and veggies to keep that Pitta calm, your digestion happy and your skin hydrated and glowing:⁠
⁠
🥒 Cucumbers: The ultimate Pitta soother, hydrating and cooling.⁠
🍉 Watermelon: Sweet, juicy and the perfect antidote to summer’s heat.⁠
🍓 Strawberries: Antioxidant-rich, sweet and a little astringent—the optimal light pick me up.⁠
🍑 Peaches: Hydrating and satisfying: Is there anything better than a fat, juicy summer peach!?⁠
🥒 Zucchini (and all your summer squashes): Moist, cooling and easy to digest.⁠
🍒 Cherries: Sweet and astringent goodness with heart-loving benefits.⁠
🌽 Sweet Corn: Grounding and satisfying, a perfect addition to your summer salads.⁠
🫐 Blueberries: Cooling and cleansing, while also supporting overall digestion. Their antioxidant-rich profile is just a bonus!⁠
🍇 Grapes: Grapes are kinda like nature’s perfect summer candy, amiright!? ⁠
⁠
A few little tips I’ll leave you with:⁠
⁠
~ Fruit is best enjoyed on its own (not with heavy meals).⁠
⁠
~ Keep it seasonal and local if you can, even if it doesn’t match this list perfectly!⁠
⁠
~ Mid-morning or afternoon is the ideal time to consume fruit while honoring our agni’s rhythm.⁠
⁠
Ayurveda helps us balance our mind, body and spirit from the inside out with ancient (yet timeless) healing spiritual principles. ⁠

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. ⁠

When you try to delete your shadow work instead of When you try to delete your shadow work instead of actually doing it… 🫠🗑️

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. ✨
