As the spring weather oscillates between cold and warm, wet and dry, it’s no surprise that many of us experience confusion in our lives, relationships, and careers at this time. However, we can find clarity by discerning what to let go of and what to let in! In this episode, Katie chats with author and friend of the Shakti School, Lisa Marie Rankin, about how to navigate the spring season with more ease.

This is the time to rededicate yourself to what matters most to you! Learn how to tap into the lesser-known, subtle qualities of the spring season to prepare for the year ahead!

We created Level 2 quite honestly for two simple r We created Level 2 quite honestly for two simple reasons:⁠
⁠
1. Something magical occurred in Level 1 and our students didn't want it to be over ⁠
2. Neither did we⁠
⁠
Level 2 is the outcome of knowing, deep in our hearts, that our journey together was only the beginning. This upcoming year together is so much more than just learning more Ayurveda  theory. It is about deepening our relationship to ourselves and one another. ⁠
⁠
And If there is one core goal that we have at the Shakti School - it is to provide a place where women can have the space, time and tools to be able to contact their own inner healer. ⁠
⁠
This deepening of our first year together was also created to hone in with a more intimate group of women who truly wanted to dedicate themselves to another year of deep, inner and outer study. ⁠
⁠
Simply stated, Level 2 students are the ones who REALLY get it. They want to expand upon the most important concepts in feminine form Ayurveda both intellectually and through their embodied lives. This includes honing in on the deeper purpose and meaning of why we practice and study. ⁠
⁠
Think about it like this - there was probably at least one big idea that you came across in Level 1 that had the potential to be MASSIVE -  a mind blowing, heart shattering concept that was presented. But, like all of us, sometimes we can't hear the big idea. ⁠
⁠
We skip over it. ⁠
We run from it because it asks us to reorganize our reality.⁠
We aren't ready.⁠
We are subconsciously afraid of what it may ask of us.⁠
⁠
Or maybe the dog just barked and you didn't hear it! ⁠
⁠
And so we don’t integrate it. It doesn’t penetrate us. It can’t change us. ⁠
⁠
I know this has been true for me in every step along my journey. I need repetition. ⁠
⁠
And so, Level 2 is about giving you the space to review some of those big ideas that may change your life forever - offering you more space and time to be able to hold it and to let it sink in. Like the waves of the ocean onto a coral reef.⁠
⁠
See you in THREE DAYS with some BIG ideas,⁠

Want my Ayurveda-inspired springtime ice cream rec Want my Ayurveda-inspired springtime ice cream recipe? It’s fruit-only sugar. A powerful protein and healthy-fat punch. As well as chock full of mind-tonic herbs that will keep you sharp all day. ⁠
⁠
The secret ingredient is that it replaces the dairy of ice cream, which is super heavy and mucus producing with a wonderful Kapha-reducing replacement. Cauliflower! And I don’t even like cauliflower. 😉⁠
⁠
Comment “SPRING ICE CREAM” below for the recipe! 🍨✨
Oh, you’re wondering why your kapha friend can’t go out tonight? She’s busy… watching her plants grow, rearranging her garden statues and whipping up an herbal tonic or two. 

Kapha types are the builders and tenders of life, the ones who create beauty, stability and a little bit of magic in the spaces they call home. Once they’re in their rhythm… they’re probably not leaving. 🌿🌎🌊

Level 1 Graduates—don’t forget that Level 2 begins this coming Tuesday, and we’re still welcoming our last-minute ladies in! If you have any questions at all, reach out to us. We are here to support you. 🌺
