“Being mentored by Rashani is like being mentored by Mahakali with her ten arms holding ritualistic tools to cut through suffering and illusion. It takes courage that comes from your deep wisdom well and yet, this time and space has been the most illuminating and joyful experience.

I have cried tears that have been stored in me, waiting to be invited out. I have laughed more at myself with compassion than ever and with her guidance I have located and disrupted patterns that were preventing me from living a beautiful life. This mentorship ripples out and touches not only you, but your relatives, your children, your lover, and your whole life. Being mentored by Rashani has helped me access my strength, my voice, and my metaskills that are here to be in service.

What has touched me the most is her ability to see the disavowed parts of each mentee. The pieces of us that have been blamed, shamed, or abused and she invites these parts back into our life with fiercely loving arms. There is no bypassing bullshit here. This is a true education on life and that means witnessing the totality of all experiences and expressions of oneself. Radical responsibility is a prerequisite.

I recommend this mentorship to those who are willing to risk it all. To those who have humility and can sit with their own reflection honestly or at least be open to beginning. I recommend this mentorship to those longing to find their way back home within themselves.

Thank you Rashani for your decades of seva. Thank you for finding and investing in yourself with all your profound teachers over the years. Through that and your own flare, this has assimilated into a sacred bundle that this mentorship is offering us, should our hands be open enough to receive.

In this three-month container I have uncovered how steady I am within the feminine volatility and fluidity. I move like a flower in the breeze yet my whole life I was trying to be a stone! I have uncovered how absolutely radiant and beautiful my essence is. I have uncovered all the things I thought to change are actually my super powers, my meta skills. I have uncovered that I truly cannot be harmed, and if safety exists, it is in this place. A place where no word or action or judgment could harm the essence. I had been identifying so much with the false self that I had never been able to feel safe within my own home, my own bodily temple. I have uncovered that I really am a wonderful mother to myself and I treasure this relationship between me and Me. I feel like I have been initiated into womanhood more than ever before. Just by simply allowing. I have become aware of the Wu Wei moving me and I honor that time and space as if it were the most important instructions, to move with spirit, because they are. I have uncovered stories that were longing to be addressed. The stories were accumulating like the compost bin on a kitchen counter, overflowing, and saying, "hey! Pay attention to me. I want to be put back in the earth so I may grow more life, in whatever form Mother Earth wishes." I can see now. I was trying to throw my processed stories like processed food into a landfill, to disavow, to combust and create even more toxicity when the more natural flow is to bring them, tenderly in your hands to the earth to rebalance the micro biome of your beingness—and by doing so, you become more alive than ever. You radiate love as you are meant to. This is what the three-month container has revealed to me. And forever I will cherish and grow my bounty of beauty from the replenished soils of my soul.

Thank you Rashani. For giving the gift of me back into my own hands."
