Join Laura (Ambika) in an exploration of several awe-inspiring emanations of the all-powerful and fiercely loving Kali Maa! Kali IS the medicine we need in these dissolving, heartbreaking, and too often terrifying times. Kali guides us through states of deep transformation. She illuminates our ignorance about the Nature of Reality. She gives us strength to stay present with whatever is happening—no matter if the ground is shifting, breaking, or dissolving under our feet! *NOT FOR BEGINNERS*
