Teachings & Sadhana practice with Nita Rubio
(Nalika Anandanath)
Traditional sadhana is a path of Beauty, courage and fortitude. All these things are needed to engage the transformative practices with Shakti as the full conduit and power to facilitate this transformation. It is an "alive" tradition with many streams within it. Each stream brings a particular emphasis on a certain way Consciousness can express and "taste". One of the great Mysteries in the heat of transformation is the dissolution of our habitual grasping so we can experience how Consciousness "tastes" and experiences itself as us. This can become contrived and sometimes performative if we do not have an architecture or a map to approach this transformation from a truly surrendered (yet paradoxically empowered) approach. We need the map of lineage in traditional Tantra. Establishing a context through the teachings and lived experience of the practices brings a coherency to both mind and body. Beauty becomes the Way.
Cultivating the ground for Traditional Tantric Sadhana
A hallmark of a living wisdom tradition (lineage) is that it is enlivened by the teacher-student relationship. The teachings of a tradition remain consistent through thousands of years and yet are enlivened by the experience of the teacher and their ability to give relevant teachings to the student at the right time. It is not enough to “parrot” information but to fully live it and Be it for lineage to flow forward to future generations. Teachings are also enlivened through a student’s practice and “tastes” unique on each person as the intelligence of the practice begins to flow out into daily life. When a sangha (spiritual community) is fully participating together in this way there is a living field of support and joy.
Sadhana is a daily approach to engaging with the Wisdom Consciousness (Deity) through mantra, yantra, rituals (such as pujas, homas and tarpanams) and how to be a student. These sadhanas are encompassing and will affect us at every level. Psychologically, emotionally and Spiritually.
Engaging with a living wisdom tradition allows the transformation of a limited mind entrenched in habitual suffering, to a mind creatively inspired by a global and ultimately a Universal point of view. This is the mind in Union with the Heart.
The Dakini Mandala of Mind & Emotion
Beginning February 2026
Registration now open
A dedicated program to work with the Elemental Dakinis to liberate obstructed emotion and taste freedom of a creative Self.
Awareness is the uncontrived, unattached recognition of the experience of movement as it ebbs and flows in it's natural state of rest.
Both obstructed and liberated experience have the same source. Space. Rather than fixing the situation in which we are caught, we look to the Dakinis and elements as guides to bring us home to a more liberated and content state of Being.
When we can be with and as the appearance and the disappearance of phenomena in the vastness of intrinsic space, there is only the sheer exquisiteness of this movement.
This is what we actually are. Instead of doing, we are becoming.

Kālī Sādhanā
Starting September 20, 2025
Registration open
Kālī is one of the most powerful and revered goddesses in the Hindu tradition, especially within the Śākta path, which honors the Divine Feminine as the supreme reality. For beginners, she might first appear fearsome: bloody, wild-haired, adorned with a garland of skulls and a skirt of severed arms, holding weapons and a freshly severed head. Yet beneath this fierce imagery lies a profound realization. No one is outside the field of Love.
Kālī is the raw, untamed power of dissolution. She is both time (kāla) itself—cutting through illusion, ego, and everything impermanent as well as what is beyond time. Her appearance is not meant to frighten but to awaken. She dissolves what blocks us from recognizing the field of love and re-routes us to action that serves this living field of the Totality rather than actions that create more and more karma.
This sādhanā offering is for experienced or current students of Nita. Please click through for more details and information.

Ganesha sadhana
February 4th & 5th, 2023
One of the most prominent qualities Ganesha is known for is the Removal of Obstacles. He is often invoked at the beginning of any endeavor for this purpose. He is also known as Ganapati which translates as “wedded to the senses.” His qualities of discernment allow us to be in the material world but helps us to keep our eyes on the Divine Mother. We will learn more depth teachings on Ganesh from the Shri Vidya orientation, learn his mantra and have guidance for a daily practice. For more information....
