Like the ferocious Kali, she wields the sword of discernment, speaking and acting from her wisdom, cutting through denial and illusion…
Andrew Harvey & Caroline Myss – The Fierce Feminine
Deepen in the courageous gifts of the Fierce Feminine to cut through denial and illusion, speak and act from wisdom, and help birth a new future for all.
Discover your liberated power to stand for truth, justice, and love and guide humanity out of an unprecedented “Dark Night.”
The Fierce Feminine is the most misrepresented and misunderstood aspect of the Divine…
…perpetuated through media stereotypes, societal projections of women and power, and our own internalized belief systems.
In her most authentic form, she is profound transformation, she is evolution, she carries the wisdom of our past and the possibility of our future… and she is alive within YOU.
The Fierce Feminine stands on her own terms. She is the creative force that embodies peace, justice, mercy, and love.
She is the new wave of feminism rising up through every woman and man whose heart is breaking over the state of the world…
Like the ferocious Kali, she wields the sword of discernment, speaking and acting from her wisdom, cutting through denial and illusion…
And to many contemporary mystics, the Fierce Feminine is our greatest hope for real change — and the force we must each draw on to bring deeper love to our lives — and sanity and balance to a world engulfed in the flames of violence and fear.
With expert guidance, you can more deeply embody the Fierce Feminine energies and blessings needed for personal and collective transformation. Here is what three experts say:
“She is the catalyst for a spiritual death and birth… our only guide through this “global Dark Night,” says world-renowned scholar-mystic and author Andrew Harvey.
Despite our fear of the repercussions, the Fierce Feminine empowers us “to stand up against anything out of alignment with the highest truth and lovingkindness,” according to Mirabai Starr, a world-leading teacher of feminine mysticism.
And of all her gifts, the gift of discernment is most needed in our world now… “From a position of wisdom rather than from defensiveness or our personal history or emotions, we can hear alternative points of view, as well as others’ wisdom; discernment is the key to finding common solutions,” says world-renowned author and spiritual teacher Caroline Myss.
By claiming the Fierce Feminine in you, you harness the primal birthing power of life.
This holds the key for your liberation and empowerment, whether you’re a woman or a man.
The Fierce Feminine empowers you at the deepest level. Whether it’s speaking truth to power or standing up against injustice, the Fierce Feminine gives you the power to set boundaries and halt the continuation of destructive impulses that threaten you, your community, and our society.
She also gives us the internal fortitude to traverse what is called the “Dark Night” — both personally and collectively.
The individual Dark Night entails a shedding of old identities and beliefs — an essential process if you are to embody your truest Self and live in freedom and fulfillment. It’s an alchemical journey that leads us to birth the “gold” of a more enlightened Self.
Our world is undergoing a collective Dark Night as well — everywhere we turn it seems, there’s overwhelming pain, polarization, conflict, and violence.
While this can be heartbreaking to witness, the cracks in our broken hearts actually allow the light of truth to shine through…
In other words, it is the Dark Night that is bringing the dawn.
The Blessings of the Fierce Feminine
At the heart of the initiation we’re all traversing is a breaking down of old structures of consciousness and society that were built on a denigration of the Feminine.
The rejection and oppression of the Feminine is endangering the health and vitality of society — and the entire planet. This needs to change — and now — not just collectively but in each and every one of us.
The Fierce Feminine is our greatest hope (some say our only hope!) for truly changing things for the better, because she has the discernment and transformative power to strip away what no longer serves us.
SHE is the evolutionary power for our time… guiding us through the Dark Night.
And her radical, transformative gifts are available to ignite your deepest spiritual initiation yet.
These unique blessings can bring sanity and balance to a world engulfed in the flames of violence and fear — and guide you to bring forth your soul’s gifts at this crucial tipping point while clearly and powerfully addressing the wrongs of the world.
We cannot create the world our hearts know is possible without the Fierce Feminine alive, awake, and empowered within us. It is the very engine of evolution and it has been marginalized, suppressed, and dismissed for too long.
The good news is that seven of the world’s leading mystics and spiritual teachers — Andrew Harvey and co-faculty Caroline Myss, Mirabai Starr, Carolyn Baker, Banafsheh Sayyad, Jill Angelo, and Monica Sharma — are coming together for a powerful wisdom transmission to hold space with you and share their profound wisdom on the Fierce Feminine so that you can deepen into, and fully embody, her energy and blessings.
The Fierce Feminine… in You
The Fierce Feminine is YOU at your most vulnerable and powerful — steady in your resolve to tell the truth and act with love… no matter what the cost to your ego or what others might think of you.
The Fierce Feminine liberates us from the past, taking us out of the mode of seeing ourselves as victims. She allows us to stand in our truth in all situations.
This liberates your more authentic and empowered Self. Instead of being frustrated or depressed by life, you become freer to be yourself because you know you have the power to protect yourself and others if need be.
In short, it’s the missing link for women and men to finally cast off the oppressive patterns of the past and live into their full potential.
It’s important to remember that the Fierce Feminine does not oppose the masculine; rather she sheds light on the unhealthy or toxic masculine — which has been passed on and perpetuated by world religions and cultural belief systems.
She is a catalyst for the long-awaited union of the Sacred Feminine and Sacred Masculine and the birth of a Divine Humanity.
The key is to recognize that this mystical process is happening both individually AND collectively at the same time. The union and the birth happen in your heart, which then ignites changes in those around you.
Many Facets of One Diamond
The subtle ways that we suppress the Fierce Feminine in ourselves are often not easy to see. They are unconscious because they are part of the cultural waters in which we swim.
For The Fierce Feminine program, we’ve invited the women teachers that we feel MOST embody some aspect of the Fierce Feminine to share their story, insights, and wisdom with you.
By tasting the freedom and fullness they’ve realized — each a facet of the larger diamond — they will illuminate the subtle ways you’ve held yourself back.
Through the whole journey, you’ll be guided, inspired, and gently held by Andrew Harvey. A scholar and mystic, he has long championed the return of the Feminine to our planet spiritually — and as a gay man, he has directly experienced how our suppression of the Feminine has hurt men as well.
He offers a powerful mirror and an energizing transmission of energy and wisdom as he weaves the teachings and wisdoms of our women faculty together into a divine tapestry.

Module 1: The Vision of the Fierce Feminine
In this first session, Andrew will present our world crisis as a “Kali event” and show that our only hope of thriving and evolving lies in turning to the Fierce Feminine in total trust and total surrender. Drawing on ancient Hindu texts, he will lay out the four stages of Kali’s dance as they are unfolding, and reveal that we are now in the third stage — the severe stage — that demands urgent transformation, expressed in global sacred action.
He’ll also lay out the four major powers of Kali’s healing that are being born in her dance (reconnection, resistance, resilience, and regeneration); share the three laws that govern relationship with the Fierce Feminine (adoration, surrender, and unrelenting shadow work); and outline the six great blessings that will follow in each module, which together birth the Divine Human.

Module 2: The Blessing of Discernment
With Special Guest Teaching From Caroline Myss
The Fierce Feminine blesses us with discernment, a lightning sword of truth that she brings down on all our illusions about ourselves, human nature, the world, and the nature of the divine itself. Such a discernment flays all pretensions and dissolves all human vanity in a bath of black acid. Terrible though this process is, the blessing of unconditional compassion for all others born from it, and the radical joy of unconditional love that flowers from the ashes of the false self provide the fuel of all enlightened activity.
Andrew will illuminate the five forms of shattering and rebirthing discernment the Fierce Feminine gives. First, discernment into the transcendent nature of reality; second, discernment into the limitations and fantasies of the human false self.
Thirdly, discernment into one’s own shadow, the shadow of others, the shadow of history and culture; fourth, discernment into the bankruptcy of all solutions not born from a transformed self; and fifth, discernment into the necessity of putting love and wisdom into radical action.
Guided by Andrew and Caroline Myss, you’ll discover:
- The ferocious and liberating power of discernment
- How to pray for the grace of discernment
- How to pray to be able to bear the price and cost of discernment
- The 5 types of discernment that make you an effective agent of transformation
Module 3: The Blessing of Radical Heartbreak
With Special Guest Teaching From Carolyn Baker
Suffering is a treasure, for it conceals mercies;
The almond becomes fresh when you peel off the rind.
— Rumi
The blessing of heartbreak is that only heartbreak can dissolve in us the blocks to unconditional love.
Andrew will show how the very thing we are all most terrified of — being shattered by heartbreak at the individual and collective suffering of all beings in a world going insane — turns out through the grace of the Fierce Feminine to be the door into the burning furnace of compassion that fuels sacred action on behalf of all life.
The Fierce Feminine is challenging us to become strong in trust and adoration of her so that we can endure having our hearts slashed open again and again by her knife of reality. What she promises us is that she will pour into our heart’s widening abyss her wine of ecstatic, timeless love, the fuel for the sacredly inspired action that can transform our crisis.
Guided by Andrew and Carolyn Baker, you’ll discover:
- The power of heartbreak as a way to dissolve blocks to unconditional love
- The sacred nature of heartbreak as an initiation into radical compassion
- How to trust and love the Fierce Feminine, constantly opening your heart
- The stages of heartbreak — and how they can be transmuted into radical wisdom and commitment to sacred action
Module 4: The Blessing of the Dark Night
With Special Guest Teaching From Mirabai Starr
Through the blessing of the Dark Night process, the force of the Fierce Feminine systematically annihilates the false self and births us flayed and exhausted into the self that does not die.
There is no resurrection without crucifixion, and no transfiguration of the human into the Divine Human without a death of all the illusions and concepts of the false self. Seen from this perspective, the Dark Night process is the supreme blessing on the path. Appalling and horrific though it sometimes must be, only through so relentless a surgery could the face of inherent divine consciousness be revealed.
Andrew will reveal the different stages of the blessings of the Dark Night and show how knowing that the Dark Night is a blessing fortifies you to keep yourself alive in chaos and madness, trust in miracles, hope for the future, and take joy in gambling your life away for God.
Guided by Andrew and Mirabai Starr, you’ll discover:
- The meaning and the nature of the Dark Night process
- Why the Dark Night is so essential for the birth of an embodied Divine Humanity
- Why the Dark Night is a blessing although deeply disturbing
- How to negotiate the Dark Night with surrender, grace, love, and joy
Module 5: The Blessing of the Great Peace
With Special Guest Teaching From Banafsheh Sayyad
The Great Peace that is born after a Dark Night is the peace the Fierce Feminine gives to those she has killed into life. This peace embraces all opposites as the mysterious dance of the fierce one and is the peace beyond understanding that Jesus left as his final gift.
In such a peace, the self knows itself as infinite, both utterly still and endlessly creative. Initiated into this peace through dying into life, the lover of the Fierce Feminine becomes a dancer, grounded in divine peace and aflame with divine passion, strong enough to keep giving everything to serve and to aid the birth of a new humanity.
Andrew will present his vision of the blessing of this peace and offer powerful practices drawn from the Hindu and Sufi traditions that will help you return to this peace and live in it through all circumstances.
Guided by Andrew and Banafsheh Sayyad, you’ll discover:
- How the Dark Night process leads to the open expanse of enlightenment
- The Great Peace in divine awareness
- How this Great Peace can make you compassionate and lucid and strong enough to be able to hold all opposites
- How to “dance your life,” fueled by the dynamic peaceful energy of the Fierce Feminine
Module 6: The Blessing of Sacred Passion & Sublime FearlessnessWith Special Guest Teaching From Jill Angelo
The Fierce Feminine blesses those whom she annihilates with the ecstatic power of sacred passion and the nobility of sublime fearlessness. What is born by the grace of the Fierce Feminine out of the ashes of the Dark Night is the Phoenix, the golden one, the fully embodied and fully Divine Human. This new being is fueled by a sacred passion that is grounded in sacred peace, purified by unconditional compassion, and poured out in selfless service and creativity.
Andrew will present his vision of the five great passions that are united in heart, mind, soul, and body through the grace of the Fierce Feminine — the passion for the fierce one, the passion for the creation, the passion for all sentient beings, the passion for sacred relationship, and the passion for sacred activism.
When these five passions start to become active in you, you are forged into a being of humble nobility, expressing profound courtesy towards all beings, and and embodying an unshakable fortitude in the task given you.
Guided by Andrew and Jill Angelo, you’ll discover:
- How the blessings of heartbreak in the Dark Night process can initiate you into your soul’s deepest passion and purpose
- How the Dark Night process splits the atom of the false self and releases the nuclear energy of sacred passion within you
- How along with this sacred passion is born a sublime fearlessness
- How this sacred passion and fearlessness are grounded in divine peace and constantly fed by pure divine energy
Module 7: The Blessing of Sacred Activism
With Special Guest Teaching From Monica Sharma
Perhaps our greatest fear is awakening to the depth of our crisis and being forced to change our lives to truly be of service. This fear is lethal to our survival — and the Fierce Feminine is annihilating it both by exposing us to our worst terrors and by blessing and empowering us.
Andrew will present his vision of sacred activism — inspired, guided, and refined by the Fierce Feminine. This vision will be a comprehensive vision of action that involves relationship of all kinds, the challenge and meaning of what it is to be a birth agent in our time, and the purpose of being alive at such a terrible and wonderful moment. Kali’s ultimate blessing to us will be revealed as a path of sacred action that is also the destined birthing place of a new, embodied Divine Humanity.
