With roots deep in ancient consciousness and a lineage of worship that has lived for millennia in the hearts of humanity, we honor She who facilitates the spiritual journey by taking us to the root of our yearning, beyond our fears, beyond our ego, beyond our attachments and into liberation. This is the work of Sha'can, our practice, and our devotion. Ours is truly the path of the <i>bhakta</i> (devotee) of the Divine, who treasures the temple of this world as vehicle for spiritual blossoming, healing, and bliss. Ultimately, we believe an integral and (r)evolutionary approach to spirituality will best help us achieve our mission.<br><p><p>

Sha'can is an authentic lineage tradition passed on through initiatory blessing. It is a Shakta <i>marga</i> (way or path of Goddess-worshiping Hinduism), that expands Tantric mother worship and sanctifies earth-based, embodied spirituality by bringing Devi to life with relevance for our circumstances today on Western shores. In our tradition, we celebrate the commonalities of thought and practice that bring the marginal to center. From here, we hold that everything is possible.<br><p>

Sha'can is at once groundbreaking and what has always happened with goddess worshipers in and beyond India. Shakta Tantra at its core and as articulated through Sha'can is a rooted category of challenge to the dominant culture in which it is found and from which it comes. The tradition is helping to build self-worth and positive identity frameworks for practitioners; is fostering the development of participatory and engaged spirituality; and is providing tools for the affirmation of shakti in the world. It is a new tradition born from and honoring of the old, relevant to the circumstances of today, and grounded in the potentials of tomorrow.<br><p>
