Wellness Retreats are Perfect for Post-Divorce Healing
Why Vikara Wellness Retreats are Perfect for Post-Divorce Healing
When going through a separation, divorce, or post-divorce process, it is a major transition, leading you into death & rebirthing. But before we can be reborn, we have to be kind to ourself with self compassion, patience, and optimism while shedding our old skin. We have to let grief fully take effect, feeling all emotions, and all parts of ourself in this newly transitioned reality. This death & rebirth process in becoming our new self is an active force of Kali energy. It’s one of life’s most challenging transitions, often leaving individuals feeling emotionally drained, uncertain, and in need of renewal.
Kali: The Fierce Goddess of Transformation
Kali is often depicted as the terrifying aspect of the goddess, with wild hair, a garland of skulls, and a blood-red tongue. Her appearance is meant to confront our deepest fears and shake us out of ignorance. In her left hand, she holds a sword and a severed head, symbolizing her power to sever the ego and false identification with the body.
But beyond her fearsome image, Kali is the ultimate symbol of time (Kala) and transformation. She represents the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. Through her, devotees are reminded that destruction is not inherently negative. Instead, it clears the way for new creation. Kali’s dance is the dance of cosmic energy, a force that destroys illusion (maya) and liberates the soul from worldly attachments.
Despite her destructive aspect, Kali is deeply compassionate. In Hindu philosophy, she destroys the demons of ignorance, attachment, and fear that keep us bound to the material world. She is a goddess of liberation—both from internal limitations and external constraints. Kali, as a form of Shakti (divine feminine energy), empowers her followers to confront their shadows and embrace their own transformative potential.
We honor the presence of this cosmic energy at our retreats, leading us into ceremony, intention setting, and healing.
During this pivotal time, it’s essential to prioritize self-care and healing. Vikara Wellness Retreats offer annual nervous system regulation & recovery retreats for those navigating the aftermath of divorce.
