In Ayurvedic philosophy, summer is known as the pitta season and is characterized by heat and dryness as the summer wears on. This can lead to excess heat in our bodies and fiery emotions.

Feminine-form of spiritual expression is a big par Feminine-form of spiritual expression is a big part of Ayurveda too. Because even though the Ayurvedic texts were written by men, it was the women who largely practiced and developed the tradition on the day to day, down in the trenches of life. These women were busy taking care of their families and villages with Ayurveda – they didn’t have time to sit and write or meditate for hours.⁠
⁠
And that’s who Tantra is for. The householder, not the monk.⁠
⁠
Are you a monk? Probably not. ⁠
⁠
If you’re a woman who wants to enjoy her life in all the earthly, sensual, spiritual ways, Tantra and Ayurveda offer THE theoretical marriage that can help you get there. ⁠
⁠
Tantra is integrative, and the way we teach it in The Shakti School allows the practitioner to love her life, her partner, and her mess of a house, without feeling less-than a perfect yogini, A Divine Mother, or an Aphrodite Goddess of Love.⁠
⁠
Oh, and the best part? Tantra embraces ALL religious traditions, or none at all. ⁠
I believe Tantra is one of those philosophical systems that we have so much still to unravel and learn from. It's mysticism for the woman who wants it all in her modern life: spiritual fulfillment, worldly success by her own terms, a loving romantic partnership AND a life outside of her romantic partnership.⁠

📚 How are women using their Ayurveda certificat 📚 How are women using their Ayurveda certifications in the real world?

We get this question a lot. This is purpose + practicality, soul meets paying the rent. :-) And yes, we love helping women make money with meaningful work (if that’s what they want to do).

Here are the top real ways our grads are using their Ayurveda Health Coach training:

🌸Private 1:1 Coaching. Support clients with digestion, hormones, stress, sleep, nervous system health and seasonal rhythms. Deep, transformational work.

🌸Women’s Health & Hormone Support. Menstrual health, perimenopause, menopause, fertility, adrenal fatigue and burnout recovery, helping women feel at home in their bodies again.

🌸Corporate Wellness & Burnout Prevention. Lunch-and-learns, workshops and nervous-system education for teams and leaders. High demand, high impact and often well paid.

🌸Group Programs & Online Courses. Scalable 6–8 week offerings like digestive resets, seasonal cleanses, nervous system repair or feminine vitality.

🌸Retreats, Immersions & Women’s Circles. Ayurveda + food + ritual + rhythm + rest = life-changing containers.

🌸Integrative Health Clinics & Wellness Centers. Work alongside functional medicine doctors, acupuncturists, chiropractors and more, filling gaps modern medicine can’t.

🌸Content Creation, Writing & Education. Blogs, Substack, social media, books, podcasts and workshops. Teaching is a powerful healing path.

🌸Postpartum, Caregiving & Recovery Support. Supporting new mothers, caregivers and those healing from illness or long-term stress. Tender, needed work.

🌸Spiritual & Personal Development Coaching. Ayurveda also supports energy patterns, emotional digestion, purpose and rhythm, often blending with yoga, meditation and trauma-informed work.

🌸Building a Conscious Business or Brand. Wellness brands, product lines, education platforms—Ayurveda as the foundation of a bigger vision.

The deepest truth? This wisdom is deeply needed, and there is real demand for it.

Whether you want to make this your career or simply do it for yourself (about half our students do), our program begins Wednesday. This is your time.

This is not Tantra for monks.⁠ ⁠ This is Tantr This is not Tantra for monks.⁠
⁠
This is Tantra for women with real lives.⁠
⁠
Women who love, work, mother, create, rest, desire, fail, succeed…and begin again.⁠
⁠
In this free 1-hour class, Katie Silcox and The Shakti School team reveal Feminine-Form Tantra, a spiritual path that does not ask you to leave your body, silence your desires or renounce your life in order to be spiritual.⁠
⁠
Instead, it invites you deeper into it.⁠
⁠
Tantra teaches us how to experience the sacred:⁠
⁠
Inside relationships⁠
Inside emotions⁠
Inside pleasure⁠
Inside the mess and the magic of being human⁠
⁠
In this complimentary live workshop, you’ll learn:⁠
⁠
✨What Tantra actually is (and what it is not)⁠
✨Why spirituality that excludes the body eventually fails women⁠
✨ How emotions, desire and discomfort become sacred fuel⁠
✨The link between Ayurveda, Tantra and the embodied nervous system⁠
✨ Why pleasure and beauty are forms of spiritual intelligence⁠
✨How to stop separating your “spiritual life” from your real one⁠
⁠
This is mysticism for women who want it all.⁠
⁠
Depth without dogma.⁠
Spirit without renunciation.⁠
Truth without shame.⁠
