We had so much fun, sweetness, devotion, incredible music, mantra, song, food and sangha together last year at Goddess Rising: A Shakti Kirtan Celebration!, that we couldn’t wait to do it again this coming Martin Luther King weekend! Cheryl Chaffee (Sarasota, FL), Amah Devi (Asheville, NC), Mirabai Moon (New York), Yvette Om (Philadelphia) and I (local home-slice) will take turns leading kirtan with you all as part of the heavenly band! Of course, To Bring Devotion will be supporting artists throughout the day, and we may even have a few surprise musical guests sitting in too!
Do you like to chant? Do you want to delve deeper with community into the path of Bhakti Yoga (the yoga of devotion)? Do you want to open your voice & heart in song? Do you wish to connect to your authentic voice? Do you wish to deepen your connection to spirit in a totally loving, non-judgmental & intimate environment? If you answered “yes” to even one of these questions, than this event is for you! Chanting together builds interconnectedness while nourishing the heart and soul!
I will be making the vegan kitchari-style lentils with basmati rice as well as a green salad for everyone for dinner. In the spirit of a community pot-luck, we would greatly appreciate it if you would bring something vegetarian to share, like a snack/appetizer/side dish/creative salad/dessert, whatever floats your boat, if anything. We get very hungry from so much chanting!
Let us celebrate SHAKTI…the Divine Creative Feminine force rising within ALL of us!!! And let’s do it in sunny Florida in the middle of January!
On Sunday morning, Jan. 19th, Yvette will be leading the wonderful workshop: Embodying the Bhav: Sing, Sound & Serenade Your Inner Soul. 10:00am-12:00pm (see flyer below) There are many forms of love that we can sing to and often call out to. The love for a close friend, for a lover, for family, community and simply for self love. Do these varying expressions of love all lead to a deep feeling of Bhav (Divine mood)? Come join Yvette Om for an intimate morning as we explore the blissful nature of Bhav through mantra, movement, chanting, meditation and love song.
BOTH the Saturday Kirtan Festival and the Sunday Workshop will be held at my home (a.k.a. The Kaplan Shakti Shala) in Longwood, FL (Orlando area). Address will be given upon registration. Sunshine & warmth inside and out!
Register for just Saturday, just Sunday, or better yet, register for both to fully nourish your body, mind & spirit (and get a price break!)
