The Ocean of Inner Abundance is a donation-based 40-day course of practice + study with the wisdom and mindset of Sri Sukta, an ancient song to nature’s forces of inner and outer prosperity, hosted and supported by Stephanie Chee Barea and with special guests and fellow long-term practitioners Amie Heeter, Sarah Hutchinson – and more!
The practice of chanting Sri Sukta, an ancient cluster of 16 mantras from the Rig Veda, awakens us to the vibratory resonance of fullness and wholeness – dispelling the fragmentation, loneliness or unworthiness that otherwise dominates our modern world.
Whether you are new to the healing power of sound or have been working with these mantras for many years, this course will deepen your relationship with the vast ocean of peace, beauty and joy that is this sacred song – learning from our own practice and one another through shared experience.

What Students Say
-
Sue C., E-RYT 200
“Before beginning my studies with Stephanie, I wasn’t even aware there was a reality of the Divine Feminine. I love mantra, and am in awe of the mysterious way it is creating a sense of ‘enoughness’ in me that I’ve only hoped for over many years. The depth of knowledge, the language, and perfect word choice that Stephanie somehow always seems to find opens me. I begin to melt into who I truly am. I feel such gratitude to have somehow been guided to this ongoing course and to Stephanie as a teacher.”
-
Sarah H., RN, E-RYT 500
“Stephanie’s mantra courses are powerful offerings, beautifully presented! I can feel Stephanie's dharmic alignment pulsing through; authentic and with integrity. When shadow comes up on the seeker's path, as we know it will, there is no doubt the fire and the mantra and will transform it.”
-
Barbara S., RN, E-RYT 500
“Mantra tends to and strengthens my connection to the highest source of wisdom that is deeply embedded in my being. Thank you, Stephanie, for creating this container of support that focuses on illuminating the power of my soul and spirit. I feel blessed to have Stephanie as a guide and teacher in my life!”
“We live in a vibratory universe. We create, sustain, and amplify the frequencies we hold and feed..."

About Steph
Greetings! My name is Stephanie Chee Barea, founder of Her Festival, mela.yoga, and The Rangeley Hideaway. I am a multicultural Feminine Leadership Coach and Ritual Curator with over 24 years of experience teaching embodied healing practices and hosting brave spaces for belonging. I work with conscious founders and visionaries to strengthen and upskill their capacity to tap into internal wisdom, establish space, create flow, and make decisions with clarity and authenticity in their professional and personal lives.
With more than two decades of formal classroom teaching experience, I am a practitioner and educator of the science and philosophy of Tantric Hatha Yoga in the Tantric Sri Vidya tradition – a 5,000 year-old living tradition of the Himalayan Sages. As a lifelong learner who is ever-evolving, I continue to study with and stay close to my teachers: Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, Nikki Slade, Sherri Mitchell Weh'na Ha'mu Kwasset, and the Natural World.
I published her first mantra album, Igniting Protection, in 2019, and has also been featured on Thrive Global, Omnes.live, Down East Magazine and The Rangeley Highlander.
My 1000+ hours of formal training certifications include EYRT-5oo, YCEP, Prenatal Vinyasa, Yoga For Teens, Yoga Sutras and Vishoka Meditation.
I believe that we are here to experience the full grandeur of Spirit. The mantras I chant express the language of Nature as a sacred stream of timeless wisdom that emerged from the Himalayan Mountains.
I aspire to know and be in concert with the intelligent power of my heart. I preside over my life as if it were a grand ritual, weaving the sacred and mundane into a continuous stream of abundance, beauty, creativity and joy.
Listen to Sri Sukta
Our 40-day practice with the wisdom and mindset of Sri Sukta centers around this ancient song to the ocean of inner abundance. Want to hear what you’ll be chanting?
I invite you to listen to my recording of all 16 mantras of Sri Sukta, as well as a more melodic recording of the ninth mantra in The Hymn to the Golden Deer.
