The essential ingredient for creating Yaga Circles and nurturing community
Inner Yaga Training
The Inner Yaga Training draws a group of women from many different backgrounds who share the common goal of enriching and healing their relationship with themselves, with others, and with the world. The doorway into our community, and into the evolving inner work that we do, is the beautiful Inner Yaga Training, a two day journey of exploration, introspection, and connection. This experience offers the opportunity to witness the untapped power within yourself and to consciously imagine and direct the possibilities of your life.
This training is staffed by experienced leaders and dedicated Yaga sisters who have facilitated this work for many years.
