Shiva x Global Flow
I first met Shiva Kumar sixteen years ago in Los Angeles during a training with Shiva Rea. It was there that I experienced my first puja and received a Jyotish astrology reading from him. The depth and sincerity of that experience and Shiva’s work stayed with me over the years.
Shiva has been part of a Global Flow event before as a guest of Janet Stone, and it feels special to welcome him back again. We’re grateful to host Shiva now for a Yantra Puja and astrology sessions, and to share this meaningful and rooted practice with the Global Flow community.
"Shiva Kumar has many gifts to share with the world. His teachings and sacred ceremonies are transforming, potent and authentic..”
