Are you ready to open your body, heart and soul in profound new ways – unleashing the passionate power within – to love, create and embrace life as a delicious dance rather than a disciplined march?
If so, you’ve been guided to the right place.
You have the opportunity to join an intimate circle of Shakti Initiates who are working closely with Lisa Schrader – one of the most respected teachers on sacred sexuality of our day. And she is eager to help you discover the depths and miracles of your inner beauty in ways that will surprise, delight and amaze you.
Nine months is the time it takes to carry a baby to term. It can also be the time it takes to birth a new YOU – one that is blessed to embody the divine current of Shakti energy, so that it transforms you, your beloveds and the world as a whole.
You have already begun the delicious process of opening up to the power and potential of your passionate life force – awakening the Divine Feminine from her slumber and animating your life with more succulent, expansive and potent energies.
It’s now time to go to the next level. One of glowing radiance. Of power. Delight. Joy. Healing. Abundance. Awakening.
The gateway is your Shakti.
As a woman, this Shakti force that moves through your body is your birthright. However, you were probably never taught how to open to the fullness of your power and experience the surrender and erotic delight that comes when your body becomes a living, breathing temple – and your life becomes a way to gift the world with love.
It takes a trusted guide to enter these realms and become initiated into the depths of the mysteries that lie within. Lisa Schrader is that powerful, wise and deeply honoring mentor who will help you discover these feminine mysteries through the sacred portals of your womb, heart, soul and Yoni. She is here to initiate you into a deeper, wiser, more whole YOU.
You see, every woman is an emissary of the Divine and a creatrix of new life. Several millennia of masculine domination is finally shifting, but so much damage has been done to the raw, untamed, beautiful depths within us – which are key to our divine expression.
Dear sisters, it’s finally time to SHINE with all of our magnificence. A new era is here, one in which the feminine is taking her rightful place in our lives and the world. It is time to summon our Shakti, and channel it into a new kind of empowered femininity – as important to an executive in the boardroom as it is to a lover in the bedroom.
However, to embody this new, integrated feminine presence, we must be willing to go into the dark corners of shame, fear and self-judgment that often constellate around our sensual selves. To blossom, we need to explore the places where we abandon ourselves, where we fail to give ourselves permission to be all of who we are. We need to welcome the wisdom from our wounds, and also go beyond, to use them as alchemical fuel for the potential waiting to be born.
To do this work of Shakti activation at the deepest level requires skilled, sensitive support and a relaxed expanse of time. And that is what we will create, together, during the nine months of birthing a fuller, more Shaktified, and freer Self – one that KNOWS what real sisterhood looks like, FEELS exquisite pleasure in her body, ATTRACTS abundance and opportunity, and DELIGHTS in the dance of life and love.
A Shakti Initiate is a woman who knows how to step into her feminine power in a way that is authentic, non-manipulative and clear. She knows how to channel her life force in the service of her soul’s work. She knows the pleasure of living in sensual, orgasmic aliveness as her birthright – and she gives this gift of radiance to the world. She knows how to amaze her lover, enjoy herself, stand in her truth, and receive divine nourishment in her very cells.
Does that image speak to you?
If you KNOW you are here to shine with inner radiance, open to your full depths, and awaken in an embodied way, this is the path for you.
Personal Mentorship
As we’ll be exploring some of the most intimate areas of our lives, this Mentorship Program has been carefully designed to maximize your support. It provides you with not only a small, closely-connected sisterhood for the journey, but also peer/partner support – and most importantly, direct one-on-one coaching calls with Lisa, herself, EVERY month.
This is a rare chance to work personally with one of the world’s most respect sacred sexuality experts (and the one chosen by Oprah as the first to appear on her show because of her unique accessibility). Lisa is a powerful, sensitive and deeply honoring guide through this inner landscape – and she will be available to you and the community in a deep way throughout the entire 9-month program. You’ll also work with a partner the entire time, giving you another level of loving, personal support.
This is why this unique program is only available to a small, intimate group where the profound support will allow you to go to places in your healing and awakening that you’ve never gone before.

Sexual Healing
Audio Dialogue with Caroline Muir
In this explicit and loving dialogue with Lisa Schrader and Caroline Muir, they explore what sexual healing is and is not.

Learn simple techniques for liberating a woman’s passion and responsiveness through sexual healing. As a pioneer in the field of Tantra Yoga, listen to wise woman Caroline Muir share openly about her own sexual awakening and journey.

Walking with Beauty
Audio Dialogue with Elayne Doughty
Listen in on this dynamic and powerful dialogue with Lisa Schrader and Elayne Doughty about why beauty is not optional for you on the path of the Divine Feminine. When you do not understand that beauty is your very essence, you run the risk of being “sold” an idea of beauty outside of yourself. Join these renowned teachers and explore beauty as a way of being, not a commodity and learn why beauty is soul food for awakening the Shakti goddess.

Longing for the Feminine Face of God
Audio Dialogue with Chameli Ardagh
Join Lisa and Chameli as they talk about how to establish a direct, embodied connection with the Goddess. Shift the idea of the Goddess being “out there or remote” and experience the sensations in the body of Her presence. They explore with some fierceness the gifts that come with commitment and practice, plus the ways the shadow feminine can sabotage our intention for depth. Plus how to feed the feminine longing within and draw strength from devotional practice.
Chameli Gad Ardagh is the founder of the Awakening Women Institute. She is a pioneer on contemporary feminine spirituality, and is inspiring women around the world through her breakthrough methods for awakening and empowering of women and girls.

What Graduates of Lisa’s Shakti Programs
are saying...
If you want to tap into all of who you are and truly awaken to your life force energy, then make sure to be in connection with Lisa Schrader. She’s truly a gift and a guide for all women who want to connect to the divine feminine within.
– Suzanne M., Wisconsin
Lisa’s grace, compassion and loving energy were essential to this course. I felt loved and embraced by her on every call and this provided a safe space to explore Shakti energy in. Lisa’s openness and non-judgement encouraged me to accept the process, to be ok with each step, knowing where I am in perfect.., loving self through it all.
– Alisa S., Sao Paulo, Brazil
Lisa Schrader is a phenomenal teacher, and this course was beyond rich. I had no idea how in depth the course would be – cultural, biological, physiological, social, historical, mythical. I learned so much and in such a gentle, practical and thorough way. Lisa goes out of her way to make sure she speaks to a wide audience, leaving no one out, making everyone, regardless of background, feel supported, encouraged and valued. I would highly recommend this course to ALL women. Men could greatly benefit from it, too.
– RKA, Kansas
It was so wonderful to shift out of the hyper masculine world and deeply dance with the Feminine during the 9-month Shakti course with Lisa Schrader. She raises the bar as an educator with her depth of knowledge, intuitive gifts, generous guidance and soulful heart. I am deeply grateful that I participated in the program and got to connect with so many vibrant women along the way.
– Deborah, Bloomfield, NJ
As a teacher to women seeking to expand the Feminine energy in their bodies and their lives, I came to this program with some experience in the field. Lisa’s deep awareness, knowledge and generosity has grounded my own Feminine energy in ways I did not expect or predict. The sheer beauty of being who I really am, in a world that is in many ways ignorant and sometimes hostile to Feminine power, has transformed my daily experience. People routinely comment on my beauty, energy, calm and presence. Both men and women notice the change in me as I embody more of the Feminine energy just living my life in my usual way....though not in the old usual way. It is very clearly a gift to those around me, they say so. Lisa is skilled, compassionate and very wise. I would recommend this course to any woman seeking to become more of herself in the most delicious way.
