The Singing of Kirtan goes back thousands of years in India. Created by ancient Rishis from the seed mantras of the Vedas, the sounds are designed to resonate with your chakras to help move the energy up your spine. Then, they put these sounds, like Om Namah Ashivaya, or SitaRam, to a simple melody. Kirtan is a simple practice. We sing the Kirtan, call and response style, until the singers enter higher planes of consciousness.

The wonderful thing about Kirtan is that it is fun. Other forms of Sadhana can be strenuous, but Kirtan just flows from everyone’s connection to music. Even those who feel they do not have a good voice discover themselves singing on pitch, in time. It is an excellent way to discover your true voice and it is a perfect accompaniment to your spiritual practice.

Come and Experience this Easy, Happy, and Deep Form of Sadhanna.

Shubalanda (Larry Kopp), has been leading Kirtan for many years, having studied with Neem Karoli Baba, Sathya Sai Baba, Karunamayi, and currently, Shree Maa. His guitar playing and voice of experience gives his Kirtan a power and a Bhava that is shared with all who join him.

"A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history."   --Mohandas K. Ghandi

How often do we question ourselves and our place in this world when obstacles meet us on the path? How often do we fall into doubt when confronted with challenges?

Discernment of one’s place and work in this world is vital. Are we being asked to hold fast to our vision, or are we being asked to alter the vision for the good of the earth and all beings?

In this workshop we will be working with these questions, determining whether the obstacles we encounter are requiring us to be steadfast, or are asking us to surrender to something else. It is necessary during these turbulent times on earth that we listen carefully to any shifts that may be occurring both within and around us.

Using the wisdom of St. Francis of Assisi and other mystics who also confronted great turbulence in their lives, we will enter deeply into our Sacred Visions and commit ourselves to contributing to the grand vision for a new humanity.
