Arthā Path – Abundant Stability Programme

Arthā Path: A re-think on the healing and transformation path that aligns with 4 Pillars to Transfiguration – to highest spiritual accomplishment

Course Summary

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?

I wanted to study this to help me get out of the loop of trauma and self cherishing. I wanted to become solid and stable in my sense of self. I wanted to stop using crutches and being overly neurotic with the big issues in my life. I have been through a lot and also done so much work but it has gone to the point where I just want to feel strong and trust in my own sovereign capacity to handle life with grace.

I have worked with Padma for over 10 years on and off and this course really supported me to have deep shifts on how I perceive myself and understand what spirituality really is... I have detangled from addiction and neurosis and 'victims consciousness' and have a greater sense of how karma affects my system and I also see myself from much of a multidimensional perspective. This is helpful to my dharma, my emotional world, my Sacred livelihood and clients and my family and community.

I am now more stable for them and I have been increasing in abundance in many ways since joining the course. For example more clients than ever, more emotional resources, more insight into why things happen, more awareness of vedic astrology and its impact on me, more passion for true spiritual development and less need to regulate and more capacity in the overwhelm. This course has helped me become more of a rock for those who want to lean on me and made me more of a rock for spirit to work through me.

I'm really grateful for dharmastars. This is a mystery school for the western seekers who don't understand or have lineage and who don’t think doing cacao ceremonies and yoga constitutes actual spiritual evolution. This course is the real work. Do it.

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!

The Artha course has been truly life changing for me. Padma’s teachings are deeply inspirational and easy to follow. She has a rare ability to articulate complex concepts with simplicity and depth, allowing the teachings to land gently yet profoundly.

This offering is incredibly supportive for both new and established practitioners, as it meets you exactly where you are while encouraging deeper self-inquiry, clarity and alignment. Through this course I’ve gained a much deeper understanding of myself, my patterns and how to move through life with greater awareness and integrity.

One of the aspects I value most is that the sessions are taught live on Zoom and also recorded. This allows the teachings to continue unfolding over time each time I return to them, I hear something new or gain a fresh layer of insight. Padma teaches with wisdom, compassion and authenticity.

The perspectives offered through this container are both grounding and expansive providing practical tools that I continue to apply in my personal life and professional work. The Artha course has supported a lasting shift in how I live, think and relate to the world and has become an integral part of my ongoing path.

I’m deeply grateful for this work and would wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone seeking meaningful change and deeper understanding. 

Abundant Stability Path Programme Tiers & Progression Routes & Timelines


Artha ‘taster’ programme
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)
is then awarded to students who have completed the taster and have then taken some mentoring and signposting from our senior team.   You will be expected to demonstrate a willingness to continue on your journey and to have processed the main themes of the course to receive this informal certification.

Applied Artha Practitioner – Accreditation – Certificate Level
is available for people who have completed the previous 2 stages and have demonstrated applied work and committed to the fringe courses, sessions, therapeutic referrals drawn up for their personalised journey through their mentoring session.

THE ARTHA ABUNDANT STABILITY TASTER COURSE

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.

One of the many unique contributions of this course is to help you to understand how Sacred Sciences like Vedic Astrology (Science of Light) can help us to move through the Artha phase more successfully and fluidly. We will be enabling you to begin to understand some basic contexts in a unique holistic format bridging Ancient and contemporary wisdom and modalities.

I have been intuitively guided to the Dharma stars team for a few years now, their offerings resonate, hold substance and are a great guide and resource for true spiritual progression.

The Artha path program felt important to be part of even after feeling like I’ve been on a spiritual path for some years. The 4 Pillars model based on the Purashartas feels grounded and rooted in tradition but from a school that weaves with many different concepts and healing arts, rather than getting lost in a sea of spiritual information that is around us at the moment.

We are given self-reflection ideas, ways to reframe our view of true abundance and to see how to balance ourselves which can affect our collective consciousness, key planets to look at in our own and others Vedic charts, what they mean and how to work with the placements.

The live sessions, for me, helped me to consolidate what I’d learned in the recorded sessions as well as hearing others take on the ideas. It is great to feel the support and connection of a group of like minded people, that also pushed me outside my comfort zone which is beneficial.

All very inspirational, thank you Padma and Madalena
