40 DAYS OF FEARLESS HEART

A Practice to Steady the Mind & Invoke Invincible Light

LIVE ONLINE FRIDAYS
10-11am US PST / 12-1pm US CST
MAY 15 – JUNE 26, 2026

What becomes possible when you stop trying to overcome fear — and remember you are made of something fear cannot touch?

40 Days of Fearless Heart is a donation-based group practice and study rooted in an ancient mantra from the Durga Saptashati — the Sarva Svarupe Sarveshe, a sacred song that has been chanted for centuries to steady the mind, dissolve fear and anger, and invoke a remembrance of your own unshakeable light.

Through sound and steady practice, we'll explore how to navigate mind (and body) when fear and anger arise, to recognize the invincible light that fear cannot extinguish, to return again and again to the unshakeable nature you already carry, and to tend that essence as a daily practice of devotion.

This practice is led by Steph Chee and is offered by donation. 60% of all proceeds go directly to support the Healing Turtle Island Ceremony this July at LandPeace Foundation — an indigenous-led organization in Monroe, Maine dedicated to restoring ancestral relationship with the land.

    • You sense there is a power and a strength in you that difficulty has never actually touched — and you want to know it more fully

    • You're looking for a practice that works beneath thought, at the level of vibration, to more skillfully attend to fear or anger

    • You want a contemplative practice rooted in ancient, living tradition

    • You lead, guide, or hold space for others and need to resource yourself from a deeper place

    • You are new to mantra and want a genuine, lineage-rooted entry point — or you are experienced and ready to go deeper with a single practice

  • 7 Live Weekly Gatherings

    Join online each Friday, 10–11am US Pacific, to chant, learn, and deepen. Space for questions, shared practice, and collective exploration of the mantra's teachings.

  • Online Fridays 10:00am PST / 1:00pm EST

    May 15 – June 26, 2026

    * All sessions approx. 60 min, hosted live online with Steph

    Week 1: Analātmikām: She Whose Intrinsic Nature Is Fire

    Meet the mantra and its source: the Devi Mahatmyam, the 700 verses of Durga. Explore the heart as cosmic force that receives, gives, and circulates. Understand fearlessness as something revealed, not created. Establish the daily practice container.

    Week 2: Sarva Svarupe: You Who Exist in All Forms

    Durga is not outside you — she is the intelligence that moves through all of it. This week we explore the practice as a remembering of your own nature, and work with what arises in the first week: resistance, distraction, the mind that says it doesn't have time.

    Week 3: Sarva Shakti: Possessor of All Powers

    What does it mean to hold all powers — not as dominance, but as wholeness? We explore the practice of meeting fear and anger with something equal or greater, and what steadiness actually feels like from the inside.

    Week 4: Live Q&A Gathering

    Bring your questions, your resistance, your breakthroughs. Share your experience of the practice at the midpoint. Collective wisdom deepens what individual practice opens.

    Week: 5: Bhayebhyas Trahi: Protect Us from All Forms of Fear

    We arrive at the heart of the mantra's prayer: protect us from all forms of fear. Not a request for fear to disappear — but for something invincible to be remembered inside it. This week the chant becomes the refuge. We practice returning to it whenever fear or reactivity pulls us from our center.

    Week 6: Durge Devi: The One Who Is Difficult to Reach

    Durga's name means the one who is hard to approach — the innermost, most invincible part of you. This week the mantra moves toward fluency and the practice becomes more interior: chanting from memory, chanting in silence, chanting independent of breath.


    Week 7: Namostute: I Bow to You

    Closing ceremony. The bow is not submission but rather in supreme recognition. We honor 40 days of returning. The practice does not end; it roots. How to carry the fearless heart forward as a living, daily remembering.

  • The Sarva Svarupe Sarveshe is a single verse from the Devi Mahatmyam — the 700 verses of Durga, one of the most revered texts of the Sri Vidya Tantric tradition.

    Chanted for centuries to remove instability of mind due to fear and anger, this mantra does not ask you to suppress what you feel. It reminds you of what you are made of — something invincible, something luminous, something that fear moves through but cannot inhabit.

    You don't need prior experience with chanting, mantra, or Vedic texts. Everything is taught from the ground up, in accessible language, with full transliteration, translation, and audio support.

What students say

  • “Before beginning my studies with Stephanie, I wasn’t even aware there was a reality of the Divine Feminine. I love mantra, and am in awe of the mysterious way it is creating a sense of ‘enoughness’ in me that I’ve only hoped for over many years. The depth of knowledge, the language, and perfect word choice that Stephanie somehow always seems to find opens me. I begin to melt into who I truly am. I feel such gratitude to have somehow been guided to this ongoing course and to Stephanie as a teacher.”

    —Sue C., E-RYT 200

  • “Stephanie’s mantra courses are powerful offerings, beautifully presented! I can feel Stephanie's dharmic alignment pulsing through; authentic and with integrity. When shadow comes up on the seeker's path, as we know it will, there is no doubt the fire and the mantra and will transform it.”

    Sarah H., RN, E-RYT 500

  • “Mantra tends to and strengthens my connection to the highest source of wisdom that is deeply embedded in my being. Thank you, Stephanie, for creating this container of support that focuses on illuminating the power of my soul and spirit. I feel blessed to have Stephanie as a guide and teacher in my life!”
