Ep 06: The Winding Path of Beauty and Bliss with Sally Kempton

Welcome to Episode 06 of The Sun, The Moon & The Truth podcast. In this month’s episode, we discuss “The Winding Path of Beauty and Bliss” with the legend, Sally Kempton. In this conversation, Sally very generously opens up about her introduction to Tantra through Yoga, her years in India at the ashram of her teacher where she was ultimately ordained as a Swami, her first experience of being touched by the Divine Mother, and the mystical, ecstatic experiences which have enlivened and illumined both her practice and her life. Join us for this remarkable transmission of wisdom from a woman who has been there, done that, and lived to tell the tale. Hers is a path of devotion and love; the winding path of beauty and bliss.
