I’m Karina Guthrie.

Once upon a time, there was a girl (me) in a jungle in Bali. She was rational. She thought spiritual stuff was for suckers and she had her emotions and behaviour under control.

She (as many of us do) had a self-image built around what others thought of her. Based on that image, she had a story about what she was allowed to feel and experience, and also what she wasn’t. Holding the image in place took a lot of energy because this girl, and that image, didn't match.

One day she picked up a book on the Tantric goddesses. It was a bit of a stretch because, frankly, goddesses seemed a lot like ‘spiritual stuff for suckers’ and she was no sucker. But that book, and those goddesses, were powerful. She found that each gave voice to a part of herself; the parts she accepted, but more importantly, parts she rejected.

She learned that her hope, her rage, her desire and her fear were simply energies that passed through her sometimes. She learned they were the very same energies that passed through everyone, and everything; part of a spectrum of experience that was universal in nature.

That book had handed her a permission slip of sorts, an opportunity to embrace a fuller spectrum of herself, which is all any of us really wants, right?

Turns out, sometimes spiritual stuff for suckers is the very thing you need to move you out of your own way

Which is why I created this masterclass! If you’re curious to learn more about the traditional take on the goddesses, or you’ve been waiting for a permission slip to embrace more of who you are, this masterclass is for you!
