Who this is for
You have done the work. Now the real work.
You have built something: a career, a company, a family, a name. You have read the books, sat the retreats, practised for years. And still there are parts of your power you keep at a polite distance. Your anger. Your desire. Your grief. Your wildness. Your hunger for more.
The Tantric tradition does not ask you to transcend these forces. It asks you to know them by name, and to let each of them become a doorway.
Daśa is for women who want depth without dogma, philosophy with a pulse, and a practice strong enough to hold a full life. It is not a wellness programme. It is an initiation.
Śrī Yantra · the form of the Goddess
She is everything.
Nine interlocking triangles, two lotus rings and a single point at the centre: the Śrī Yantra is the Great Goddess as pure geometry. The ten Mahāvidyās are her faces. This is her body.
yā devī sarvabhūteṣu śakti-rūpeṇa saṃsthitā
namas tasyai namas tasyai namas tasyai namo namaḥ
To the Goddess who dwells in all beings as power: salutations, again and again. Devī Māhātmya
The Daśa Mahāvidyās
Ten goddesses. Ten powers.
In Śākta Tantra, the Great Goddess shows herself in ten forms of wisdom. Some are tender, some are terrifying. Together they are a complete map of the feminine psyche, and of the power you are here to embody.
01 · Kālī
Time · Truth · Endings
What must end so that you can live? The power to let go, cut through illusion and stand in naked truth.
02 · Tārā
The one who carries you across
Crisis as passage. The fierce compassion that guides you through the storm instead of around it.
03 · Ṣoḍaśī
Beauty · Pleasure · Sovereignty
Tripurasundarī, the beauty of the three worlds. Pleasure and delight as a sacred path, not a guilty side note.
04 · Bhuvaneśvarī
Space · Leadership · Presence
The queen of the world is the space that holds it. Learn to lead by how much you can hold, not how much you can control.
05 · Bhairavī
Fire · Discipline · Tapas
The fierce heat of practice that burns away what is false. Discipline as devotion, not punishment.
06 · Chinnamastā
Life force · Radical self-offering
The most shocking image in the tradition and one of its deepest teachings: on giving, energy, and where you end.
07 · Dhūmāvatī
The void · Loss · Solitude
The smoky one, the widow, the one no one invites. The wisdom hidden in disappointment, ageing and being alone.
08 · Bagalāmukhī
The power to stop
She who seizes the tongue. The power of stillness and silence, and of stopping what should not go on.
09 · Mātaṅgī
Voice · Art · The outsider
The goddess beyond the rules, of inner speech and creative expression. Your true voice, especially the parts that do not fit.
10 · Kamalā
Abundance · Fulfilment
The lotus goddess. Wealth, beauty and fulfilment as the natural blossoming of a life lived in truth.

The journey · May 2027 – February 2028
Ten months. One initiation.
I.
One goddess a month
Ten months, ten Mahāvidyās. Each month you live with one goddess: her story, her practice, her power, and what she asks of your life right now.
II.
Live every month
A live session with me each month, recorded for you, plus practices, mantra and integration work to carry you through the weeks in between.
III.
Or go private
In the Private Journey, we meet one-on-one once a month, between the modules. You receive your personal sādhanā and mantra, chosen for you, not for a group.
IV.
A circle of seekers
Women from around the world, a private online space, and the kind of friendships that only form when you go deep together.
V.
Held beyond the journey
A printed workbook, a ritual box to begin, and one year of THE RITUAL included, so the practice keeps living after the ten months end.
VI.
Optional: Kāmākhyā
After the ten months, complete the journey at the source: an initiation pilgrimage to Kāmākhyā in India, 18–25 March 2028. Max 13 spots available. More below ↓
Every month
Philosophy with a pulse.
01 Teaching
A live session on myth, philosophy and symbolism, told raw and clear.
02 Kriyā & breath
A practice that awakens this specific power in your system.
03 Somatics
Where this force is held back in your body, and how to let it move.
04 Mantra & yantra
A daily sādhanā to keep the goddess close between sessions.
05 Integration
Journaling and one real-life act. The teaching only counts when it lands in your life.
Optional · after the ten months
Initiation in Kāmākhyā.
On Nīlācala hill in Assam stands Kāmākhyā, one of the most revered Śākta pīthas of India and the living heart of Mahāvidyā worship, where all ten goddesses have their own temples.
After ten months of practice, we travel there together to complete the journey where it comes from: temple, ritual, fire and initiation. Eight days in a small circle, deeply held.

Your guide
Alexia DaKSHA DAMINI
Raised on a farm in Southern Austria, I found myself in an Indian ashram at eighteen, for prayer, study and meditation. Years later I received śaktipāt initiation from Maa Gyaan Suveera in Rishikesh, who taught me healing and opened the path of the Goddess for me.
My home is Śākta Śaiva Tantra, the path of recognition: through practice and prayer, we remember who we already are. It lives in everything I teach, from Yoga, Kriyā and Kundalinī to breath, somatics and the Daśa Mahāvidyās.
Daśa is the journey I wish someone had offered me: rooted in tradition, honest about the body, direct about the mind, and big enough for a woman’s whole life.
“The spiritual path is the unlearning of fear and the acceptance of love.”

Questions, answered.
Do I need experience with Tantra?
You need a committed practice of some kind and real curiosity. You do not need to know the goddesses. Everything is taught from the ground up, with depth.
Is this religious?
The Mahāvidyās come from a living Hindu Tantric tradition, and I teach them with respect for their roots. You are not asked to convert to anything. You are asked to practise and to meet these forces honestly.
How much time does it take?
One live session a month, a daily practice of 20 to 30 minutes, and your integration work. All sessions are recorded, so you can follow from any time zone.
Do I have to come to India?
No. The ten-month journey is complete in itself and fully online. The initiation in Kāmākhyā (18–25 March 2028) is an optional completion for those who feel called, with max 13 spots available. We meet and part in Delhi; your international flights to Delhi are booked by you.
Why is there an application?
Because the circle matters. The application and a short conversation make sure this is the right journey for you, and that you are the right woman for this circle. Applications close on 30 April 2027; places are offered as applications come in, so applying early is wise.
Is this therapy?
No. Daśa is a spiritual and embodied practice. It can touch deep places, and it works alongside professional support, not instead of it.
Which language is it taught in?
Daśa is taught in English.
Applications open · Deadline 30 April 2027
