You'll meet the nine Indian goddesses who embody the essential facets of divine feminine power—courage, creativity, intuition, rejuvenation, transformation, and more—and discover simple spiritual practices to honor each of these divine energies within ourselves.
Inspired by the nine-night fall goddess festival of Navratri from the ancient Vedic spiritual tradition that gifted the world Yoga and its sister science Ayurveda, The Way of the Goddess is an invitation to embark upon your own sacred hero's journey.

Along the way, you'll meet nine mythological Indian mother goddesses who represent each superpower within your own being. Their stories, along with Ananta's personal experience of overcoming sexual abuse, codependency, betrayal, eating disorders and narcissistic abuse will spark your own fire of transformation and healing.
