40 DAYS OF INSPIRATION, COURAGE & JOY
STRENGTHEN YOUR PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SOURCE OF YOUR INNER FIRE
“The most glowing successes are but reflections of an inner fire.”
– Kenneth Hildebrand
In this powerful 6-week program, The Fire of Conscious Leadership, you will strengthen the connection to your inner fire – the source of bravery, enthusiasm and passion of purpose that resides within. There is no limit to the change we can spark when we come together in empowerment during the winter months. We will build an unshakeable inner light to become the bold, creative leaders the world needs today.
Beginning on the the Lunar New Year of February 9, 2024, join us in community for a dedicated 40-day practice with the mantras and mindset of Agni Sukta, ancient verses from the Rig Veda that awaken us to the vibratory resonance of courage and inspiration. Whether you are new to chanting or have studied these mantras before, this course will deepen your relationship with the primordial source of power, courage and radiance that is this sacred song.
Each week we will gather online for enlightening teachings, empowering mantra chants, meditation, reflection, and discussion to uncover an authentic connection to the sacred fire. We'll set inspiring intentions, visualize our boldest dreams, and develop practices to carry our inner fire forward as courage and inspiration into each day. Together, we will find our voice, stand in our worth, and boldly lead the way during these times that cry out for spirit-centered, conscious leadership.
This is a donation-based course with 60% of proceeds directed to the Wicuhkemtultine Kinship Community in Monroe, Maine to provide Native Wabanaki Peoples a place for traditional and cultural land-based teachings – a nonprofit that is near and dear to my heart, my mother’s ancestral lineage and the land that raised me.

Intro to Mantra & Chanting
Mantras are sacred sounds, words, or phrases that have been used for centuries as a tool for meditation, concentration, and spiritual growth. Chanting involves the rhythmic repetition of these mantras, creating a powerful vibration that resonates within and around us. The mantras I teach express the language of Nature as a sacred stream of timeless wisdom that emerged from the Himalayan Mountains, passed down to me directly by my teacher, Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, through this unbroken 5,000-year oral tradition. They pre-date all religion, and as such, are universally accessible.
-
FOCUS AND CALM Mantras help to quiet the mind, bringing focus and a sense of calm.
ENERGETIC RESONANCE: Rhythmic chanting creates vibration that can positively impact our energy and surroundings. It’s like self-sound-healing!
CONNECTION TO SPIRITUALITY: Many wisdom traditions believe that sacred sound connects us to higher states of consciousness and spirituality.
-
COURAGE: The Agni Sukta and chanting practices aim to ignite the inner fire, providing the courage needed for effective leadership.
INSPIRATION: Chanting mantras, especially those like the Agni Sukta, can be a powerful source of inspiration, guiding our thoughts, speech and actions in the world.
JOY: Singing is inherently delightful, uplifting to our mood and mindset so we can shine more brightly as business and community founders and leaders.
-
The Agni Sukta is a revered hymn from the ancient Vedic scriptures that celebrates the sacred fire, Agni. In this context:
SYMBOLISM: Agni represents the inner fire within each of us – the elemental source of courage, inspiration, and transformative power. These energies can be more difficult to stay connected to in the cold and dark of winter.
CULTIVATION OF INNER FIRE: Chanting the Agni Sukta is a ritual to cultivate a personal relationship to our inner fire, fostering qualities like courage and radiance.
