Abundant Stability Path Programme
A re-think on the healing and transformation path that aligns with 4 Pillars to Transfiguration – to highest spiritual accomplishment
This is a transformative and informative programme to help you identify steps in your life and development that need to be cultivated in order to create a stable gateway to higher awareness. Based on the purusartha concept in Indian philosophy, this programme brings together many strands of wisdom as ‘4 pillars’ in a practical way for seekers and practitioners from non-religious settings to truly enhance their spirituality and path to transcendence.
The first pillar – Artha corresponds with Earth – Finding Solid Foundations to enter higher pathways. The next pillar is Kama (Air) – and desire. If we do not have solid foundations then desire gives way to afflictions and looping which lead to fixation on things and circumstances that will not further our spiritual development. By learning to cultivate a Higher desire in life we blossom into our true Dharma path, and benefit all sentient beings.
Most people are still dominated by the Artha stage. A massive reason for this is that they simply are unaware as to what the true spiritual journey implies.
We are here to help you fast-track into the awareness of the beauty and divinity that is yours to step into, and to move beyond the entrapments and pitfalls that enmesh many in trauma-looping, addictions and desire!
This programme is presented in more ‘bite-size’ form than many of our other courses. This means that if you are new to your spiritual journey it won’t overwhelm you. If you are already deeply on the path, then you won’t have to spend lots of time on a course but can identify your blind spots and tweak them quickly to move onto Kama path.
Have you had what can be described as a ‘spiritual awakening?
Are you becoming more aware of the multidimensional realms?
Do you feel stuck on your healing and transformation journey?
Artha is the foundational gateway where you will learn
to live and thrive (not survive and loop) from abundant stability.
Full Holistic System – The 4 Pillars – and Why?
In these times many people do yoga, mindfulness, energy medicine and experience awakenings but do not understand the ethos of what a full spiritual journey can entail
The Ancients & Sages in India followed ‘liberatory’ paths – that focus on the release from cycles of samsara, life & death
If we do not know about these higher pathways our spiritual evolution remains incomplete. Furthermore we may lack the tools & awareness to overcome looping
In order to help people experience the fullest of human experiences Dharma STARS are now aligning their teachings to a modern interpretation of these systems to help you fully transform, & to move beyond getting stuck on early stages
The Stuck Artha Phase
When we operate from wounding we often veer into a sea-saw of excess or deficiency. The normalised position for a healthy state of being is that we are not unconsciously manifesting ‘lessons,’ triggering situations and patterns that dominate our life and affecting our relationships.
For example, in the collective right now we can see a very potent imbalance of excess and deficiency through the polarities of ‘Invisibility – recognition’. Many people are addicted to being an online persona and getting ‘likes’ while other people hide in the shadows afraid of sharing their gifts.
It is imperative at this time that we work through the sea-saw of excesses and deficiencies which are situated in the Artha phase. If we wish for a better world for ourselves and the children to come we need to move from trauma-bonding and patterning to our Highest Dharma. This means we need to move from Artha to Kama and then to Dharma (and then finally to liberation). Once each is stabilised, the pillars to our highest transcendental essence will become unveiled but only then. We need all 4 pillars to be balanced to sustain healthy spiritual and transcendental development.
So, how can we spot if we need to work on Artha?
You can visit our Artha self-reflexive questions at:
Laying the Foundations for True Spiritual Growth
Many people believe that financial abundance and ‘feeling safe’ are the destination.
Whilst there is of course importance in stability in life it is NOT the full picture for our spiritual evolution or for creating a New Earth.
When we are traumatised we lack the curiosity to see the bigger picture and to feel connected or truly an embodiment of the Divine.
Signs of Artha Imbalance
Inaccurate foundations – lack of understanding of spiritual principles with motivation being centred around personal gain, maintaining ego as king/queen and disconnection from our Higher Nature
Fixation on ‘safety’ and financial stability
Karma looping of unprocessed in utero and childhood wounding
Sea-saw of imbalance and wounding between martyr syndrome to fixation on own needs
Inadequacy around belonging, one’s roots
Nervous system dysregulation, dissociation
and much more…!
The Artha Programme is for you IF
You have been getting disillusioned with recreational ‘spiritual’ approaches
You feel there is something else but you can’t quite move through certain needs for security and safety to utterly surrender to the divine
You seek like-minded people who also are realising that in order to expand we must overcome trauma and looping patterns beyond quick fixes and retreat ‘experiences’
You seek spiritual ‘experiences’ and go on lots of retreats but feel you are stuck and you know you need to get more disciplined
You veer away from religion but are stuck as a spiritual seeker, feeling that you don’t see how it all connects
You often get a sense of being uncomfortable in many neo-spiritual settings but you don’t have the framework from which to explore what that is about in your own system
You are ready to confront your trauma/wounding and to align body, mind and spirit and where necessary to commit to in utero healing, ancestral work, learning about your unique karmic blueprint and actively working through the blocks to overcoming those.
What Makes Artha Programme Unique?
Many spiritual approaches today are stuck in the Artha phase, focusing on embodiment and trauma without truly applying cosmic or natural laws for lasting change.
Dharma STARS has decades of experience and training in trauma theory and trauma-informed modalities. Ironically, many living Masters of tantra do not even acknowledge that trauma exists and we do indeed need to step up together to co-create a world beyond trauma. But of course this takes time, commitment and courage!
We will break trauma and karma down for you to help you metaphysically and mindfully approach trauma-karma to really overcome wounds and patterns across timelines and realms. Our objective is to compassionately bridge the worlds beyond the current western over-fixation on trauma to mindful acknowledgement and adept treatment of the symptoms of trauma-karma.
A fusion of holistic trauma approaches, yogic philosophy, natural and cosmic law, astrology and psychotherapeutic and indigenous tools and teachings to help you see where you need to apply more effort and diligence in your path of development.
A Thought-Provoking Journey for True Seekers
This immersive programme is designed to help you gain a broader perspective on themes and paradigms where many contemporary seekers get stuck.
We have made this journey very affordable. We understand that a lot of people are disillusioned by the ‘healing and well-being scene’ and also a lot of people are stuck in either the addiction to freebies or the pic ‘n’ mix sweetie shop approach.
Dharma STARS seeks to support students and practitioners towards an authentic pathway of professional, personal and spiritual development.
Many people are crying out for a real metaphysical mentor who can help them accelerate on their journey and if people come into right relation to reciprocate with our team who are so devoted to creating learning materials for you, you can start to open up to have that sort of relationship – but you need to be dedicated to putting in work, time and energy yourself!

We encourage everyone to join our affordably priced taster which will help you to re-engage with your journey to mastery, liberation and (we hope) transfiguration WITHOUT looping around the same notions and stuck points that prevent true spiritual expansion.
We know that many people who experience awakenings go into ‘sweetie shop’ mode and want to try everything out. Whilst we don’t encourage this, we have made our introduction taster course bite size and easy to digest to help you get onto the right track and to see if we are a good fit.
Artha-informed – Certificate of Attendance (non-accredited)

OPENING SESSION / FREE SEMINAR
Introduction to the 4 Pillars – THURS SEPT 17 @ 6PM UK
Invite Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84401081085
Elevating our gaze and intentions to become New Earth Weavers and adept practitioners and spiritual seekers. A re-think on the healing and transformation path that aligns with 4 Pillars to Transfiguration – to highest spiritual accomplishment.
Padma will introduce the 4 Purusarthas and also how the system ‘landed’ with Dharma STARS. Outlining many astrological insights and observations as a practitioner with over 25 years of experience, Padma will outline the importance of understanding the Artha path and creating a solid foundation. Artha is the foundational gateway where you will learn to live and thrive (not survive and loop) from abundant stability. She will also point out where Artha fixation prevents people from developing into true sacred activists.
Laying out an introduction and overview to the topics presented in the 2 month journey we will explain Artha, Kama, Dharma and Moksha to open up an expanded lens to embodied divinity and a Golden Age. We will be drawing on teachings and trainings from lineage masters, wisdom-keepers, astrology and trauma theory.
Padma will present these concepts from Yogic philosophy in an easy-to-understand format to help you to realistically approach your own spiritual and practitioner-based journey. Each module is in a Section which is also accompanied by a signposting and referral document to enable you to begin to self-assess what further measures you might need to take at this stage.
There will be time for a Q&A afterwards and a deeper discussion on the long-term vision of offering such a project for practitioners, affiliates, students and seekers.
