September 30th, Tuesday, 7pm-9:30pm; $50
The evening will start with Breath of Bhakti workshop, followed by an uplifting kirtan.
Breath of Bhakti is designed to introduce participants to the essence of living and breathing Bhakti Yoga — the path of faith, trust and love. Through discussion, storytelling, and reflection, we will explore how Bhakti can be (and already is) woven into daily life, making it accessible to anyone, regardless of background, lifestyle or abilities.
This workshop is designed for people from all walks of life — householders (Grihastha Yogis), professionals, seekers — anyone who wishes to deepen their spiritual connection and cultivate trust, love, and devotion in their lives. You do not need prior experience in Yoga or Bhakti practices to participate. Alternately, if you’re an experienced student, this program will help you enrich and enliven your practice.
The evening will continue with Kirtan.
Facilitators; Shell and Anton have been living Yoga for a combined 35 years with a special love for the practice of Kirtan. Their first pilgrimage to India strengthened their resolve to provide Kirtan to their community and they have been offering it since 2017 throughout the Yoga community. Through the guidance of their beloved teacher and Guru Sri Prasad Rangnekar based in Mumbai India, they have been encouraged to share the beauty of the live musical mantra call and response chanting which helps calm the mind and fuel the heart.
