All counseling services at Shakti Rising are intended to invoke transformation. Apprentices who participate are expected to take risks and be proactive in creating their own healing process.  Individual sessions provide the opportunity for focused self-exploration and in-depth work.  Groups teach women how to relate to one another, give and receive support, and how to listen and communicate. Being in a group helps provoke emotions and provides opportunities for confrontation, honest sharing, and intimacy between women.
