Mirabai Starr––free presentation on Tuesday, March 15
The Feminine Mystic Unveiled: Embracing the Divine as Your Beloved
“We are meant to be in union with the divine. Our souls are demanding that treasure.”
This is just one of the beautiful gems that mystic-scholar Mirabai Starr blessed us with during today’s virtual event, The Feminine Mystic Unveiled: Embracing the Divine as Your Beloved.
She described longing and desire not as something to overcome or brush off, but as necessary to our capacity to receive the priceless treasure of union.
If you weren't able to attend today’s event, I encourage you to attend the encore call this Tuesday.

Mirabai shared another profound truth today: “We are all mystics.”
A mystic is simply someone who has a direct, personal connection with the Divine, or the Beloved.
History’s feminine mystics embodied this profound, even ecstatic union born of deep longing and devotion to the Beloved.
The new 7-week virtual training that Mirabai touched on, The Way of the Feminine Mystic, is an opportunity for you to delve into 7 women mystics and feminine archetypes and create your own ecstatic union with the Divine. Their remarkable lives and revelations offer essential clues and wisdom for your own path:
The fiery and brilliant St. Teresa of Avila who could charm the staunchest leaders of the patriarchal Christian Church; Julian of Norwich, who had a vision of Christ as a woman; Hildegard of Bingen, an herbalist and healer who revered the sacred in nature; and the Sufi ecstatic, Rabia al Basri, among others.
Mirabai is an interspiritual teacher and a mystic in her own right. She practices vipassana, observes Shabbat, and often experiences the loving presence of Teresa, Hildegard and other feminine mystics who walked before her.
So Mirabai is an ideal guide for these 7 “mini” initiations, which span figures and teachings from Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam. She is warm, brilliant and refreshingly honest.
Here’s another gem from today: “I’m in love with a God I’m not sure I believe in!” What a beautiful illustration of the feminine path — devoted, ecstatic and expansive.
Should you choose to join Mirabai for the 7-week program that begins March 29, you’ll embark on a path of holy communion with your Self and the Divine. And you’ll help bring into balance both the feminine and masculine aspects of God, which is SO essential to healing our world…
But you’ll want to hear from Mirabai herself how you can cultivate a deeper direct connection with the Divine, through the stories, poetry, and timeless wisdom of the great feminine mystics.
So do join us for the encore this Tuesday!
With love,
Stephen Dinan
