Nada Yoga Workshop

      
 Nada Yoga, the yoga of sound, is one of the earliest forms of Yoga, and may also be the most powerful.

    Sound, the vibrations we perceive with our ears, as well as our bodies, has unlimited potential for helping us recognize and remember our own divine nature. The ancient yogis, or rishis (seers), uncovered much of the mystery and power of sound in the form of mantras. These mystical sound patterns have been used for thousands of years to focus the mind, open the heart, induce meditation, and expand consciousness.

   This experiential introductory workshop will explore some of the fascinating principles and uses of these mantras. Participants will learn, and experience the depth of, some important Sanskrit mantras and practices (including kirtan!). These practices not only assist us in coping with every day stress, but they can be used to access deeper, or hidden, parts of our own potential, revealing our true Identity.

  Come experience the power and bliss available to us through this ancient use of sound!






Kirtan


Kirtan is a celebratory high energy group practice of call and response yogic chanting (usually in the Sanskrit Language). The chants are simple with the words provided and the learning curve is quick. This blissful, easy and powerful form of yoga, is quickly gaining popularity in the west.
Listen:


"Kirtan (Yogic Chanting) is the practice of coming together in community to create strong spiritual vibration energy.  Sound is a powerful resonance that we can direct to create love, peace, inner bliss for ourselves and direct our psychic energy in manifesting our vision for the world.

WATCH: KIRTAN ON THE RADIO

It has nothing to do with musical ability!  Many of us have had trauma from grade school music classes, and adults and teachers that tell us that we can't sing.

You don't need to be able to "sing!"  We are equipped enough to make sound and create powerful vibration through our intention.  When we gather together we amplify the power of that intention exponentially.

Chanting is one of the core practices of the yoga tradition.  Take advantage of the opportunity to experience inner quiet, power and peace."

 Chanting and Chocolate

Cacao and Kirtan: Medicines of the Heart

Facilitators: Jojo, Moses & Ambe


Why not bring together both of these superb medicine tools to assist us in accessing our deep well of self-love? 

Before the creation of chocolate bars, cacao was used as a ceremonial drink. This ceremony is about taking the time to slow down the mind and focus our intention on our inner landscape. Cacao is used as an assistant to help facilitate our process as it brings more blood to the heart and adds physical energy to our intentions. Within a framework of non-attainment, we allow life to unfold organically through us, letting layers of belief and pain fall away. 

Kirtan (Devotional Yogic Chanting) is the practice of coming together in community to create strong spiritual vibration energy using our voices.  Sound is a powerful resonance that we can direct to create love, peace, and inner bliss for ourselves thereby directing our psychic energy in manifesting our visions for the world.

This journey blends the ceremonial grade Cacao beverage with meditation and chanting

Be sure to eat lightly prior to the ceremony to allow for fuller absorption of the cacao.

Moses and Ambe have been exploring consciousness and the healing path intensively for the last seven years and for the last two have been
working with Cacao as a plant medicine to facilitate inner healing
work. They combine backgrounds in body-based psychotherapy, awareness practice and movement work to offer a holistic, heart-based healing space that allows an organic unfolding of self. Their work in intimate relationship allows them to bring a balanced expression of masculine and feminine energies. They have a consistent presence of open hearts and compassion that allow all aspects of self to show up and find wholeness.
