Into the Void
A 40-Day Guided Journey of Sacred Sound to Release and Regenerate
December 1 – January 9
I respect your privacy. Your information will not be shared.
As we enter the darkest part of the year, I invite you on a deep and powerful journey of sacred sound to release and regenerate.
Together, We’ll Journey Into the Void to:
Rest
Release
Replenish
Trust
Transform
Transcend
“This is profound work.”
Namaste, I’m Rebecca Rama Devi Prien.
I am an attorney turned artist and spiritual teacher. (You can learn more about me, my credentials and my experience here.)
I’ve come to understand the Winter Solstice as my transition from one year to the next. I love the diving into the darkness and stillness. I love the honoring and the letting go. I love the quiet. And I love seeing what comes.
The barrage of New Year program launches and your-best-year-yet calls is a clanging gong to me. It doesn’t match the natural energy of the season. It pierces my bliss.
And yet, I have deep reverence for natural endings and beginnings. Business (and life) flows so much easier (and wilder and more bountiful than we ever could have imagined) when we work according to natural rhythms and cycles.
This is that time of year: The natural world (here in the northern hemisphere) grows dark. The growth of the past year dies away. And there is a pause, a period of hibernation and incubation.
Often we skip it. We turn from the darkness. We do not allow the silence or the stillness. In our being or in the earth.
And we miss so much. Nurturance. Wisdom. That would carry us into creative action.
It is my experience that the most powerful and fulfilling work comes from this still, dark, silent well, where the Universe itelf speaks to and replenishes us.
Right now, in this moment in history, we need more than ever to be still, to turn inward first, to gather the discernment and the steady strength to act.
That is what this journey offers:
a powerful process of release and regeneration;
a profound experience of stillness and silence.
So you can hear your own deepest Wisdom, honor it, and act upon it.
December 1 to January 9
We will do a simple, 5-minute mantra practice.
*You will receive a recorded mantra by email each morning for your own practice. We will practice together live at the beginning, middle and end of our 40-day journey.

Mantra is the practice of chanting sacred sound. I’ve practiced mantra (nearly) every day since falling in love with it over 11 years ago. I am continually humbled by clients’ experiences with mantra—and with the ritual of a daily practice. Things shift. This practice clears you out. It reaches that yet-unreachable place that wants to transform, and it recalibrates you to your natural state of balance.
“This is powerful stuff. [What I’ve been carrying around forever] is gone! Such a blessing. I’m on my knees with gratitude.”
“Rebecca, you have no idea. This [mantra practice] is blowing my mind–it touches so much of my life and the places where I feel I can’t get a toehold with change.
“This morning, I sat in meditation and just cried with gratitude. Thank you for giving me the name of my true teacher.”
Mantra uses the fundamental building block of everything in the Universe: sound. At the most subatomic level, all matter is energy that vibrates. The ancient yogis studied the nature of energy-matter experientially long before physicists were able to decude the mathematics and conduct the experiments that underlie quantum physics. But the conclusion was the same: we are vibrating energy, of the same substance and connected to the vibrating energy of the entire universe.
The sacred sounds of Sanskrit, in particular, have a profound impact on matter. Sanskrit is a vibrational language. It’s only meaning is the sound. It was discerned as the sound of the vibrational qualities of the universe: abundance, wholeness, transformation.
Sanskrit is used for nothing but spiritual practice. It has been used continually and repeatedly for spiritual practice for nearly 6000 years, handed down from teacher to student in an unbroken energetic lineage.
This has incredible potency.
Mantra has an uncanny ability to still and quiet the mind, and it creates an energetic container that holds and supports the group. In my experience, as both a student and a teacher, this not only makes it easier to commit consistently to a practice, but deepens and amplifies your practice.
For the first 20 days, we’ll use the sacred sanskrit sounds for the energy of Kālī:
Death
Darkness
Drum of Time
For the last 20 days, we’ll use the sacred sanskrit sounds for the energy of Śiva:
Stillness
Silence
Surrrender
“My mind has never been that silent in my life.”
At the midpoint, we will celebrate the Winter Solstice.
Light your candles. Set your intentional space. Bring your bells or singing bowls, if you have them. We’ll share poetry, mantra, reflection and conversation.
Together, these are a powerful energetic practice for letting go and allowing the space for what’s to come.
Perfect for the deep transformation of this darkest, stillest part of the year.
