April 19th through May 10th, 2026, we will explore the Siva Purana, filled with opportunities for Self-discovery and an invitation to utterly reframe the way we experience destruction. The prerequisite for this unit is being a Vedic meditator. (If you'd like to join but have not yet received your practice, please feel free to email me directly.)
To help support your personal relationship with Siva, you'll be guided on a journey of Self-discovery through weekly prompts to find images, take photos, or make art that helps orient you to this majestic aspect of yourself. You'll also be given:
- Weekly points to ponder and challenges.
What happens during our live calls?
During our 1 hour calls we will discuss the assigned reading. Then:
The group is presented with challenges
We engage in show and tell
We uncover the gems of meaning together while enjoying the events in the story
We apply what we discover to our own personal experience
What if I miss a live call?
A day or two after each Zoom meeting you'll receive an email with the link to the recorded meeting (available for a limited time). You also receive:
Brief notes on key takeaways, plus
Any quotes, book recommendations, images, new challenges or anything else relevant that comes up during our session.
How it Works
1. Get yourself a copy of Siva: The Siva Purana Retold by Ramesh Menon
2. Beginning a week before our first meeting, you will be sent a link to our private password-protected BOX account. In it you'll find the reading assignment for that week, and all support materials. Weekly reading is no more than 80 pages (and often it's quite a bit less).
3. On 4 Sundays from mid-April through mid-May, we'll meet over Zoom for an hour of lively discussion.
4. A day or two after each Zoom meeting you'll receive an email with the link to the recorded meeting (for a limited time), plus some key takeaways and notes from the session.
