Can men teach the Divine Feminine teachings? This is the third and final conversation we are opening up inside my online membership Bhakti Club as part of a wider series exploring complex questions arising in modern spiritual culture.

Over the past few years the language of the Divine Feminine has become increasingly visible in global spiritual culture. Goddess traditions, Shakti teachings, and feminine spiritual frameworks are now widely taught, often outside of the cultural and devotional contexts from which they originally emerged (this is something I've tried hard to be mindful of and careful with in my own teaching).

Increasingly, some of the loudest voices teaching these ideas are men.

Sometimes this happens with depth, humility, and genuine reverence (I have a few good examples of this and you can DM me if you'd like me to send some links) but sometimes it does not.

A recent example many of you will have seen circulating again is the discussion around Deepak Chopra and the Epstein files.

Long before any of this surfaced publicly, my own teacher warned me about Chopra more than twenty years ago. She had met him several times and said very plainly that something about him felt inauthentic to her.

At the time I had no particular reason to question him. He was widely admired, extremely influential, and presented as a major spiritual authority but I never forgot what she said and I never followed him as a teacher. Sometimes you know before you know.

Under what circumstances can men share the Shakti teachings?
With what relationship to lineage?
With what level of humility and accountability?

And how do students develop the discernment required to recognise the difference between genuine transmission and charismatic performance?

Increasingly, very few spaces seem willing to explore these questions with the kind of nuance they deserve.

In Bhakti Club we are making room for these conversations. We'd love you to join us - link in bio🌹

Happy Mother's Day! I'd like to offer a bit of a re-frame on some of the narratives I see around a lot for this day (Being a mum is so hard! We're all exhausted! Children are so draining!) and suggest it could be a day of deep gratitude. I've written a longer blog post about this over at www.bhaktirose.com.au/blog but for now here's a taster of some of my thoughts around homemaking and parenting (five kids) as a spiritual practice.

1. I drive my younger kids to school each morning, then return home to start my working day. After tidying, lighting incense and making the beds, I walk through the house and send love to each child… picturing them at school and sending my blessings, especially if the morning felt rushed or I was a bit shouty. This is an adaptation of the Jivamukti 'Magical Power of Giving Blessings' practice.
🌹
2. Viewing motherhood as service - I know this might not sound very feminist, but it has helped me as a reframe again and again. I think of the memories I am creating, the habits I am fostering and I sit in gratitude for the opportunity of service to my family.
🌹
3. Practising deep gratitude, I remember mothers who can’t be with or provide for their children, and I feel grateful doing the most ordinary tasks.
🌹
4. Giving children roles according to their nature. Each contributes in their own way (for example my 10 year-old waters the garden, my 12 year-old reads bedtime stories to my 4 year-old).
🌹
5. Valuing a cosy home over ‘stuff’. I am happy to spend money on time together (and good food is another priority). If they want something expensive, they save and wait. Delayed gratification feels important to me as a parent in our current culture.
🌹
A small extra reflection…
I also feel the importance of bringing a sense of reverence (even God) into their lives. I don’t think it has to be tied to one belief system, but centring something higher feels important when the world around us is at war in so many ways.

Today is the final day to join Ayurveda Goddess with 30% off, and a complimentary one-to-one session with me is included for anyone who enrolls before 8pm this evening.

I wanted to say a little more about why having a one-to-one session is so valuable. During our time on Zoom together we will be looking at your real life and designing a realistic pathway of change that you can actually sustain.

We might talk about your health, digestion, sleep, work rhythms, family life, teaching or career. From there we begin to identify a few simple Ayurvedic principles that can be woven into your daily life in a way that feels natural rather than overwhelming.

Ayurveda is powerful precisely because it works through small but consistent changes. Over time these begin to influence everything.

Also Ayurveda rarely benefits only the individual. When one person in a household begins to cook and live in this way, the whole home tends to benefit.

For example, Ayurveda has helped me support my own family in very practical ways. It helped resolve my ten-year-old’s constipation. It has helped me raise children who can, for the most part, self-regulate around sugar and sleep. It has allowed me to move through peri-menopause with very few symptoms without even considering HRT. And it has guided how I have cooked for a large family for many years, often through simple batch cooking and seasonal meals.

These are not dramatic interventions. They are the result of understanding a few principles deeply and applying them consistently. Together we can map that out in your one-to-one session.

If you have been considering joining Ayurveda Goddess, this is the moment. The 30% discount and the complimentary private session both end today.

You can join us via the link in my bio, or comment GODDESS and I'll send it to you. Remember to use code FLASHOFFER for the discount. 🌹

Following on from the 'Bali Kitchen' photo and writing I shared a couple of days ago, I dug up a couple of pictures of the actual kitchen and yoga / sadhana space at my teacher's ashram (Wise Earth Ayurveda) from the early 2000s, when I had the absolute privilege of spending time there. The photos I had were very low quality and pixilated, but I used AI to enhance them and this is the result. This isn't an AI fantasy photo it is a good quality reproduction of exactly what the spaces were like. My heart feels so happy looking at these photos. I felt something similar when I saw AI enhanced footage of Shrila Prabhupada preaching in the early days of ISKCON. The things I remember about this kitchen and eating space were the beautiful cloths Mother Maya would place on the table, always something 'ancestral' and I've learned to do the same (I collect tablecloths and especially love vintage and older ones, to imagine all the meals that have been eaten on them). I also love that everything was wooden in this kitchen. You can feel the love that went into building these cabins. (If you've watched the TV show Virgin River Mel's cabin has a similar vibe). The table is very low to the ground and we were taught to squat when grinding spices or chopping vegetables (always along the life line - cutting vegetable according to their lifelines is one of the unique teachings of Wise Earth Ayurveda that serves to honour Vedic principles).

The feeling of this place and the depth and truth of the food, sadhana, and prayer and practices that happened there are what I try to bring to my work still today. My online Ayurveda Goddess program is ALIVE with this work. I was a young woman when I studied here. I didn't have children yet. But these teachings have stayed with me for DECADES and I still love nothing more than sharing them with you.

The wellness industry makes money from your confusion. Ayurveda teaches simplicity.

Every few months there seems to be a new protocol, a new supplement, a new “superfood” or dietary rule that promises to solve everything. Many of these products are extremely expensive, and often the foods themselves have travelled extraordinary distances before reaching our kitchens.

Ayurveda offers a very different perspective because in essence Ayurveda is not about complexity, especially if it's taught in the feminine form. It is about simplicity, rhythm and attentiveness to the natural intelligence of the body.

I have never been someone who believes that wellness depends on cupboards full of fancy supplements and my own teacher, Maya Tiwari, certainly did not believe that either.

Over and over again she encouraged us to return to the most simple and direct forms of nourishment. She would show us how to go into the garden and chooses a few vegetables that were in season. She taught us to cut them along their life lines, to cook them gently with a few well-chosen spices, and to combine them with a legume and a grain. This was the way she herself ate every day, and it was central to everything she taught.

Her emphasis was never only on nutrition in the narrow sense. The way we grow, prepare and eat food affects the entire system. It influences digestion, the stability of the mind, our emotional steadiness and our sense of connection with the rhythms of the natural world. In that sense, food becomes a pathway to complete wellness rather than simply a collection of nutrients. Food is remembering she told us over and over again. It's remembering who we are and where we come from. Inside Ayurveda Goddess, I share teachings that have helped hundreds of women bring this into their everyday lives. Until 8pm on Thursday, there is 30% off, and enrollment also includes a free private session with me. The link is in bio or comment GODDESS. Code FLASHOFFER for the discount. 🌹

I took this photo in Bali last year. This simple kitchen was in the guest house I was staying at. In it the cook made the most delicious food from scratch with fresh spices and ingredients. It is a very humble and simple kitchen and I love it for that. The food was filled with love. Something about it reminded me viscerally of my teacher Mother Maya's kitchen at the Wise Earth ashram in North Carolina where she taught us food sadhana and the women's teachings. I hope my own kitchen at home can embody this same feeling of safety, kindness, care and simplicity for my own children as it did for me as a young woman finding her way in the world and in spiritual practice. I am so grateful to my teachers and to the teachings and in my work now, specifically in the Ayurveda Goddess program, I try my very best to impart the reverence and care for food that I was taught. In a world gone mad with what my teacher called 'gizmos and gadgets' returning to basic nutrition and humble food as remembering feels profound.

In yoga and Ayurveda, sattva describes a quality that refers to clarity, balance and harmony. A sattvic life supports steadiness in the body, calmness in the mind and a sense of inner spaciousness. It is basically the opposite of everything the modern world encourages.

But sattvic living does not mean living in an ashram or doing everything perfectly.

I’m a parent. I run a business. My life is full, busy and very much part of the modern world. There are school runs, deadlines, travel and the occasional chaotic evening like everyone else.

Ayurveda has given me tools and practices to support my daily life. Appreciation of simple pleasure and ancestral ways (from both my own ancestry and that of Ayurveda itself). It's given me ways of eating that stabilise my energy and rhythms that support my sleep and digestion (that make such a big difference in my life I'm honestly not that willing to compromise with them anymore).

Over time these practices become habits. And those habits become a way of living that feels clearer, calmer and far more sustainable.

Inside Ayurveda Goddess, I share all the principles, routines and practices that have helped literally hundreds of women bring Ayurveda into real life not in theory, but in the middle of busy families, work and modern responsibilities.

The shifts are not always instant, and they are not always easy. But they are powerful and once they become part of your life, you truly don’t look back.

There is 30% off Ayurveda Goddess until the end of this month. This comes with a free one-to-one session with me where we can talk about your wellness goals, your family life, your career or your teaching and see how Ayurveda can support it all!

Can we separate the (fallen) teacher from the teachings? This is the question we’re opening up inside Bhakti Club this month.

It’s not a theoretical question for many of us.

For years I practised Kundalini Yoga. Like thousands of others I was deeply influenced by that system and the discipline it cultivated. Later, when the allegations against Yogi Bhajan became widely known, it forced many practitioners into an uncomfortable position. The behaviour of the teacher behind the method raised serious ethical concerns.

Recently I read the (absolutely excellent) book 'Hell Bent' by , which chronicles the Bikram story and felt the complexity of this question again.

What do we do with teachings that have helped us when the person who transmitted them has clearly failed to live with integrity? Do we discard the teachings entirely? Do we separate the philosophy from the personality?

What does discernment look like in situations like this?

These questions surfaced again recently when I reached out to .spry who has facilitated several powerful conversations inside Bhakti Club around spiritual activism.

When I asked if she would come back to lead another discussion, she hesitated. Not because she doesn’t care about the world, but because she has become increasingly disillusioned with how many conversations in modern spiritual spaces are handled. So we will do it differently - this will be a conversation about discernment, maturity, and the responsibilities that come with being both a student and a teacher on a spiritual path. And increasingly, it seems that very few spaces are willing to host these kinds of conversations openly. Bhakti Club is one of them. If you would like to join us, you are very welcome, the link is in the bio, or comment CLUB and I will send it to you.
