An Urban Devi event with Citi-Śakti Devi Dasi

""All trauma causes some destabilizing of our sense of identity.

Our everyday experiences have the potential to be a source of trauma, as we are bombarded by images and information at fibre optic speed, and many of these are troubling. We don't have to directly have experienced distressing situations for them to traumatize us. In this session, we will find out how we can transform and rise above everyday trauma to heal, grow, and deepen our connection with ourselves, others, and divinity.""
