Devaa & Elayne
These are the opinions of people!
“Devaa is a living example of the Evolutionary Woman arising in our midst. Combining brilliant intellect, business experience, spiritual development and now a major outreach into the world to assist is all in our evolution, she is a loving and inspiring woman leading us forward in the 21st century.”
“I’ve met a lot of teachers, healers, and leaders in my years on the speaking circuit. When I wanted to dive deeper with my work and share from a new level of vulnerability, I turned to Devaa. She helped me lead from my authenticity, connect with my depth, and open in ways that proved energizing and effective. Her support enabled me to go to a whole new level in my public presentation and bring new qualities to my leadership. She helped me in a million ways that I cannot even describe. I am blessed by her presence. Thank you Devaa!”
“Elayne you are potent expression of female energy. Your deep and wise insights. Your wild women. Your fun. Your joy. Your supportive collaboration. The whole — and I emphasize whole — enchilada. I’m really thrilled for you — You have this powerful energy as the basis for whatever it is that you are building– and it is big!”
“The time (or should I say timelessness) that I spent with Devaa was profound. After years of seeing all kinds of ‘experts’ I can honestly say the time with Devaa broke something loose and now I feel burden-free, as well as much lighter and more joyful. I recommend her work to anyone who is ready to fly.”
“Working with Devaa & Elayne has been one of the more poignant, fulfilling and empowering of my life experiences to date. Both of these women are extremely gifted in identifying and bringing out the strengths, skills and beauty of each individual that they come into contact with. In my own work with them, I have felt continuously seen, heard and held by their unique feminine presence, which is sometimes amazingly gentle and compassionate and at other times fierce and full of fire– igniting my own inner flame. Always, they come from love. I highly recommend Devaa to any woman who desires to blossom into her full leadership potential.”
“A lot has shifted in my life since working with Devaa & Elayne. I feel clearer, more free, and have more energy. It’s also been deeply healing for my heart. I feel a growing empowerment to step into my own leadership as a healer, guide and musician!”
“After working with Devaa & Elayne, I feel so much more connected to my heart, purpose, passion, and a deep sense of my personal spirit. The authenticity practiced in the gatherings has brought me closer to my true essence.”
“Elayne! I just wanted to thank you for helping me become a more powerful woman. You opened the door for me and gave me a path to follow. Your community has brought me back the joy that I had been searching for in my life over the last 10 years. After the creative desert my life has been in, you provided an oasis for me to recharge my Feminine soul. I feel rejuvenated and full of potential. Nothing is more exciting!
“Elayne brings deep listening, empathic insight, grounded compassion, informed guidance as well as inspired play, to the chaos, confusion, fear, love, ecstacy and joy that is presented her. There is a unique intimacy in her connected understanding, creating safety and containment to go to great depths in ones process of discovery. With Elayne, I feel seen, heard and mirrored in all my authenticity. Two words: playful passion”
“When I met Devaa, I was trying to figure out my next steps, I wasn’t clear on my direction, and I was scared. Together we explored my professional and personal strengths and my connection to Source. Devaa’s guidance supported me to find my confidence and authentic power. Her deep wisdom, patient listening, and reflecting were instrumental in my personal process. The work we did has encouraged my heart to stay open and fearless, beginning afresh, every day. I am very grateful. Thank you Devaa!!”
“Devaa could be called a spiritual midwife, assisting people in the birthing their inner-selves. She empowers you, assists you, gently encourages you, and honors you for your efforts. With Devaa’s impeccable assistance, I was able to go through what is so far the most powerful experience of my life. I am extremely grateful!”

Many of us believe that we are spiritual beings who live in a material world. In the past, women were gathered in sacred circles as women.

What You’ll Remember: Course Overview
Practice 1: Cultivating Empty Presence
- Empty presence is the core practice for a soulful connection to your own inner “gnosis” of knowing. To begin, you will learn essential practices that support you in dropping out of your mind and into the mystery, cultivating a place of stillness in this “womb of silence.” This practice of receptivity and openness is fundamental to the Gnostic lineage of this wisdom school and is the foundation on which all other practices are built.
- Each one of us is like a tuning fork, resonating at a particular frequency. As we deepen in this practice, you will know how to cultivate coherency and resonance in yourself, so that you become like a “tool,” opening yourself to deep healing and greater-than-imagined possibilities to emerge. By becoming a tool of resonance we are also able to be of greater service to our families and our communities.
Practice 2: Working with Sacred Tools
Wisdom traditions throughout the world use certain tools in order to help anchor spiritual ritual. In this next practice, you will receive specific tools that will guide you to bring your sacred life into your everyday life. These tools have symbolic and metaphoric qualities that, when used in meditation, activate a portal into your inner knowing. In addition, you will:
- Learn to use your body as a tool to connect to the Divine
- Understand how to embody and activate the ancient symbols of the cauldron, the chalice, and the sword within your own being
- Another practice we will cultivate and hone together is learning to master time, a particularly potent skill needed in our hurried and stressed-out culture. You will become a “Magician of Time” and learn to move beyond the linear clock. You will practice how to slow time down, how to take yourself out of time and how to free yourself from being a slave to time. This is a radical and evolutionary practice!
Practice 3: Activating and Toning Your Intuitive Muscles
You are blessed with incredible gifts, and you have access to a wise and direct knowing that is so far beyond your ordinary thinking mind. For many of us, we haven’t known exactly how to develop, cultivate and nourish our intuition. It’s been trained out or us, or seen as being unreliable, too flaky or not to be trusted. The only way to develop your intuition is through this dedicated practice in which you will:
- Learn to fully embody your intuition as a force of healing and wisdom in your everyday life
- Experience the various ways that Spirit communicates with you (through sight, sound, felt sense and more)
- Converse directly with Source to access your inner wisdom and gain clarity on your Divine purpose
Practice 4: Co-creating with the Powerful Moon Cycles & Elements
Do you know where the moon is in her phase right now? Do you feel the ebb and flow of the ocean in your body? Do you know the best times to plant seeds for your hopes and desires, when to harvest, when to celebrate what has been grown and then when to lie fallow? We each have rhythms that are deeply encoded within us, within nature and within our larger sphere. And we are intimately connected to this cycle of life as it pulses through our very bodies. This practice will empower you to connect with the moon and the earth cycles, so you can tune into a deeper level of knowing. You will also:
- Learn how to set your intentions, cultivate them and bring them to manifestation in alignment with the phases of the moon
- Deepen your understanding of life cycles, yearly cycles, menstrual cycles and daily cycles, and harness their power for your own life
- Learn to work in harmony with earth, air, fire and water and use their “magic” to assist you in all your endeavors
Practice 5: Listening to your Body Wisdom
How well do you know your body? Are you able to read its signs and symptoms to understand what it needs? When you start to deeply listen to your body, you can access your deepest inner knowing to transform how you live your life. Your wisdom is housed in the temple of your body. And too often we ignore that “felt” wisdom by pushing ourselves too hard, not resting when we’re tired, or not doing things to rejuvenate. In this core sacred practice, you will learn to listen to your body wisdom as well as:
- Gain powerful practices to know how to dialogue with your body and decode what it’s saying to you, thereby increasing your energy and vibrancy
- Work with your menstrual cycle as a powerful access point for body wisdom and greater health
- Tune into the language of nourishment and food that your body really needs
Practice 6: Diving Deep with Dreamwork
Your dreams are one of the most profound ways you can create a connection to your innermost essence. Every night when you enter into REM sleep you also enter into an altered state of consciousness, one where you are privy to the most intimate workings of your inner life. In the dream world your own personal language of symbol, imagery and metaphor comes to life. And when you join inside the container of a sacred sisterhood, your dreams can not only have important significance to you, individually, but also for the collective. In this practice, you will learn to:
- Access, decode and apply the wisdom of your dreams to your daily life as well as deepen the connection between the multiple realms of your consciousness
- Gain the ability to understand and decode dreams that have collective importance and bearing
Practice 7: Savoring Sacred Sound
Sound is one of the most direct ways you can create a sense of harmony and coherency both in yourself and in others. Sound is used within every culture to invoke and celebrate the divine, to heal and soothe, to create sacred space and to cleanse and renew. It’s perhaps one of the most powerful tools you can learn to use on a daily basis. In this practice, you will:
- Learn to use sound and mantras to create sacred ceremonial space
- Discover how to use the sound of your own voice to heal yourself and others
- Master using sound to create coherency and harmony in your life
Practice 8: Living as a Modern-Day Mystic
There is an urgent and profound challenge we face at this point in our evolution: we are all being called to walk in our everyday lives with a wise mind and an awakened heart. Spiritual practice is not something you do once or twice a day; it takes moment-to-moment awareness to be a fully embodied, heart-awakened woman. In our closing practice, you will learn to live and breathe your soulful life, integrating the sacred tools and practices on a daily basis. Every time you make the choice towards inviting in a soulful moment, every time you acknowledge the sacred, you are co-creating new possibilities for yourself, your family and your community. You will be empowered to:
- Create sacred moments throughout your day and infuse the profane world with the beauty of spirit
- Become skilled at carving out daily time to invite co-creation with the Divine
