Communities

Here are a some communities where you can learn more about Kundalini first hand. Most of these groups have some connection to the film Awakening the Goddess. Some are spiritual communities with an authentic lineage and teachers who can give you an experience of Shaktipat (Kundalini awakening). Some are groups that have come together with the focus of sharing Kundalini education or doing research towards the scientific research of Kundalini and Kundalini awakening and unfoldment. During this time of Covid-19, most of these groups are offering online, zoom and or conference line classes, meditations and other programs.
