NAVARATRI 2026
Celebrating the Incandescent Goddess
11–20 October 2026
With Shakti Durga & Gayatri
Australia & UK | In Person & Online
This year we will be celebrating the victory of light over darkness with a special look at the vast light and incandescence of the Divine Mother.
Just what does that light show us?
And how can we best merge into the delicious ambrosial bliss of this font of creation?
JOIN NAVARATRI 2026
As well as our usual journey with the 9 Navadurgas, we will be looking at some
of the less well known aspects of the Divine Mother such as Bhalastha, Matangie, Meenakshi, Aditi, Lalitha and Maha Prabha. Through this glorious communion with the divine we will be giving thanks for all the good in our lives and also seeking blessings with their specific colours and flavours that will enliven your spirit and delight your heart.
We will also be looking at the Divine gift of having someone to help.
Seva is part of any authentic spiritual path and is an opportunity to overcome karmic burdens as well as bringing happiness and contentment to the heart and soul of self and others. Known as Karma Yoga in Vedanta, seva is dharma, dharma brings wisdom, wisdom enables miraculous grace, and grace earned in our lives pays dividends not only in this life but in other lives to come.
You can expect radiant transmissions, the presence of the Divine Mother through Shakti Durga and Gayatri (who will be co-hosting from London) and a fabulous experience of awakening. Live music, mantra, daily ceremonies and time to be with our amazing community are some of the ingredients of a life changing, uplifting Navaratri 2026.
