I am Daphné, 30 years old and I live in Orléans, France.

I have been studying Advaita Vedanta for about 10 years through swami Dayananda's lineage. This have been my main interest ever since. However, for the past 4 years I have been experiencing difficulties focusing on the teachings and not finding any comfort in plain advaitic contemplation. I still craved for some spiritual material for I find my psychic life quickly turns into a nightmare without it.

I have then taken interest in Christian Mysticism, especially in the Beguines.

More recently, this last year during my pregnancy, I started listening to talks from the Vivekananda Vedanta societies. I stumbled upon many talks on Goddess and Kali worship and got really fascinated.

About 2 months ago I discovered Professor Timalsina's work on this topic and I am now going through the introduction to sarvamnaya tantra.

As a new mother I don't find much time for proper sitted practices but I try to integrate them in my daily life nonetheless.

I'm planning on requesting initiation once I can get a hold on matrika visualisation.

I have been working as database manager this past few years and I also enjoy teaching yoga.

I take interest in martial arts (I practice Systema), psychology and philosophy.
