KIRTAN WITH SHANKARA &
FRIENDS
Friday, March 7, May 30, 8:00 - 10:00 pm
$15 suggested donation
Kirtan: an evening of devotional singing, chanting, and personal
expression. It is part of an ancient form of yoga known as Bhakti, or the
Yoga of Devotion. The meditative quality of the music promotes a
joyousness of spirit. Shankara leads our group in chants and songs in
Sanskrit and English, from ancient Vedic text to traditional American
music. Kirtan is for everyone, the experience itself offers possibilities
of personal discovery or simply, the joy of raising one's voice in song.
Allow yourself the gift of making a joyous noise. It's all about the
spirit and the feeling. Bring yours to share! Expect surprises and
unannounced musical guests!

THAI YOGA THERAPY SESSIONS WITH KIM
LARSON & TERREL BROUSSARD
Thai massage is an ancient healing art known for increasing
flexibility, relaxation, and energy flow. A therapist guides
your body through passive range of motion movements, assisted
yoga postures, and stretches with pressure while you relax on
the mat. Deepen your yoga practice, work out chronic tension
areas, or just balance the body by receiving a 60 or 90 minute
session.

8:00 - 10:00 pm
$20 in advance / $22 at the door
Join Chant Artist David Newman aka Durga Das for an evening of
kirtan. Kirtan, meaning to chant with devotion, is a practice
that merges the ancient tradition of Indian call and response
mantra repetition with the power of music. David's distinctive
approach to kirtan embodies a heartfelt devotional mysticism
with an adventurous musicality and poetic intimacy. David's
kirtans are a joyous and spiritually uplifting journey into
bliss! David will be joined by vocalist and percussionist
