She explains how we can harness our inner fire (tapas) and creative light (tejas) to align more deeply with purpose. It’s an opportunity to live in alignment with our unique path (dharma). Colette covers the following: Avoiding summer stress and burnout. Understanding tapas - the sacred inner fire. Summer as a season for sadhana. Tejas - the light of creative insight.
