It is your chance to bring out the sacred beauty, meaning and purpose in your life, to welcome the gifts of true sisterhood and the endless reservoir of magic and love.
Our hearts are full of excitement and joy to welcome you during the 9 Nights of the Goddess Festival in Navarātrī!
See you soon!
The 9 nights of the goddess, where each night is dedicated to one aspect of Durgā Devī, she who removes pain & sorrow. She is known as the great mother, who is fearless, bestows courage, strength & helps her devotees to face any challenge in life. Turning every difficult situation into a blessing, an opportunity for spiritual growth.
During Navarātrī, the goddess that we call Devī, is worshiped as Durgā the first 3 nights, as Lakṣmī the next 3 nights and as Sarasvatī the last 3 nights.
Mother in all Her Forms
This year we decided to dedicate an extra Sacred Space to the Mother in all her forms.
The mother is probably one of the most… if not the most important archetype that women are brought to their core to question their human existence; What am I if not a Mother? Am I a woman if I don’t have Babies? What is wrong with God that has taken away my baby? Do I not deserve to be a Mother? What if I fail as a Mother? Why couldn’t my Mother give me what I needed the most? Which Mother would do that? How dare you as a Mother? Mothers don’t do… Mothers are here for… it goes on and on and on…
The pain of failing as a mother, the pain of not being a mother, the pain of being a mother… often no-one talks about.
We also don’t talk about how orgasmic and ecstatic being a mother can be…. How it can support our spiritual journey or how I can be a Mother in other ways to support not only a child but the Whole Universe.
And this is why we have created 3 Special Women’s Devī Circles during the Goddess Festival led by women who have experienced loss of pregnancy, researched and studied this taboo topic… by women who are mothers and raise their children with Universal Values and see motherhood as a means for Spiritual Growth and by women who have made a decision not be a mother to a child but in and of the Universe.
Join us for one, two or all of these sessions and meet your mother in all her forms.

Love Note from Shāradā Devī
It is deeply moving to be able to invite you all again to our beloved Navarātrī Online Goddess Festival. This is the 3rd year that we have the honour to organise this festival, where world class women that are truly “a Living Goddess” are setting examples of old yet new healthy dharmic orgasmic empowering artistic ways of living while guiding others that are ready to follow the calling of the Goddess.
We are so grateful to be able to welcome you all and invite you to join us again this year in this Sacred Celebration dedicated to the Goddess that is as you, as me, as all of us.
It is a time where we reflect and have an opportunity to face the truth, let go of the old that is not serving our highest purpose, invoke strength for a dharmic honouring abundant pleasurable way of living, and seek wisdom that frees our hearts from suffering.
It is a time to forgive, to say I am sorry, to acknowledge the priceless gifts of life and the true purpose of human embodiment.
It is a time to invoke a Himalayan amount of Spiritual Wealth that cannot be taken away from anyone and will truly support one in abiding in abundance, prosperity and love.
It is a place where you can know your true self, the whole and complete self… that self that cannot be improved upon because it is better than the best already, unique like a snowflake.
It is a place where you can know others as yourself and discover that comparison, competition and jealousy has served its purpose and can be converted into admiration, support and collaboration.
It is a place where you can know the Goddess that is always here… never not here… ever available to celebrate your journey of life.
May these 9 nights and 10 days dedicated to the Goddess bring us closer, resolve conflicts and untie the most dense knots of the heart so that we can abide in the unconditional Love that we are, that IS.
With love and infinite gratitude

Trauma Informed Sacred Sexuality

Sacred Sexuality & Desire as a means for healing, growth & expansion. This aspect of life is often covered with mystery, shame, and pain, both for women and men.
Intimacy can touch our deepest core wounds, our most vulnerable secrets, our heart-wrenching attachments and addictions. Intimacy also brings out our most noble, heroic selves, our most caring, inspired, and beautiful actions.
We open up to the erotic essential flavor of life, śṛṅgāra rasa, and caring sensuality. Through sacred sexuality, we wake up to really being in the body, and having a felt-sense experience of life which means we are capable of meeting all flavors of life from deeply painful, to profoundly pleasurable, and expansively ecstatic.
We will be incorporating ancient Vedic & Taoist tools, modern science & life experiences from 1000s of women to provide the depths, safety and foundation to inspire you to reclaim your orgasmic adorable & lovable being.
We come together as sacred mirrors … to celebrate this precious gift that we all have been given;
Our Vulva! Our Yoni! Our Vessel! Our Home! Our Life!
Preparation
Prepare your sanctuary where you can be completely undisturbed. Light candles. Offer flowers and burn incense.
Come in comfortable clothes, wrapped up in a sarong or simply in your birth suit. Bring skin friendly organic oil.

The next 3 nights/days are dedicated to Lakṣmī Devī, the goddess of abundance & wealth. We will invoke her to bless us with health & wealth on all levels.

We will honor the gift of being a woman & having a sisterhood & all other gifts that we have been given in life.
Night/Day 7, 8, 9
Sarasvatī Devi

This day marks the day where Dharma wins over Adharma, where the Value of Values reigns supreme in leading one’s life. Also known as Dussehra, the tenth day reminds us of reverence and devotion for the shining Self as Devī or Brahmātmā. We return home and own up the powerful, shining Being who goes beyond even the phenomena and powers of sattva, rajas, and tamas, deified as Durgā, Lakṣmī, Sarasvatī in days 1-9. It is the day when the hero Rāma returned home to Ayodhyā after vanquishing Rāvaṇa, an inspiring model for each of us on our own heroine’s journey of true Self Discovery and power.
With this closing of Navaratri, we commence our third Heroine’s Journey, a magical and sacred dive into sisterhood, healing, integration, empowerment, Vedic traditions, and Self-Knowledge. Will you join us?

Has been such an honour and privilege… I am so grateful to be taking part in this festival full of love, sacredness and sisterhood … much love to Shāradā, Sylwia and the whole Be Woman Project Team for organising this beautiful online event with such love, grace and dedication, Jai Ma!! ~ Carolyn Sivaram
Thank you for this lovely nurturing festival. I feel so much more open and blessed. Beyond Grateful. It touched me in the right places. I have been crying, laughing and singing. Warm hugs to you Shāradā & Devīs. ~ Virkerskan, 2021 Festival Participant
I don’t have enough words to express how many blessings I’m receiving through this Navarātri Festival. It reaffirmed the power that devotion and sisterhood had on our journey. I attend so many courses and yet there is no wisdom like the one that comes from the inside. A real validation that we already have all the knowledge we seek, we just need to go within and not outside. So many emotions came to surface to be released, layers of shame, wounds… and I’ve been receiving so much love, light and wisdom. Thank you Devis for holding this space in my transformation, for holding space for my sacredness with all that I am… all my light and all my shadows. Lots of love ~ 2021 Festival Participant
I am currently basking in the resonance of our final Pūjā. Thank you so much Shāradā Devī for sharing your beautiful essence with us. Thank you to all who attended and shared and listened… as we held each other. Feeling so connected <3 ~ 2021 Festival Participant
“Song of the Wind” Hello Beauties, this came through today to celebrate the last day of Navarātri! We made it! Woman and men all over the world coming together online, invoking and honouring Devī, Goddess. Thank you Be Woman Project for birthing this! Infinite Blessings. ~ Aida, Sweden
“When you think about nature, she doesn’t hold back. She does beauty in an outrageous way” ~ Clare Dubois, Navarātri 2021 … with gratitude ~ Paula
I deeply appreciated all of the incredible powerful content, very profound and deep knowledge share, in a very personal and vulnerable way. It strikes me that the most touching part for me was to be able to listen to each teacher/speakers personal journey, to ask questions and to relate to my own journey. I felt supported, seen and empowered to keep walking my path my way taking the steps to my own healing followed by my intuition. ~ 2021 Festival Participant
This Festival has an endless worth to me <3 ~ Lena, 2021 Festival Participant

"It was fantastic and filled with great knowledge & peace. It was during the work week so it was difficult to participate in all of the sessions during the day, but the ones that I did participate in were lovely, very warm, caring & inspiring. Thank You!"
I feel like we are connected like a web all across the Earth ~ Natty, 2021 Festival participant
I feel so safe in this container of ongoing rituals. I had a “wake up” week and met with shadows. Coming into ritual here, tapping into Women’s Wisdom and Teachings here has been really supportive and Divine in timing for what I am experiencing in daily life right now. Thank you Shāradā & Team <3 ~ Kirsty, 2021 Festival Participant
I feel so much lighter today! Thank you to this Sacred Moment. Yesterday was a strong day… releasing a lot of emotions. Thank you. ~ Raquel, 2021 Festival Participant
Feeling grateful to be here with you all :) I have been wanting to go in the forest and ground all of this wonderful energy created these past 9 days. ~ Kiki, 2021 Festival Participant
I feel gratefulness, softness, inspiration, sensuality and community <3 ~ Arjan Erica, 2021 Festival Participant
