Join us for an ecstatic weekend of chanting, dance and healing hot spring waters. The theme of this Kirtan weekend is “Surrendering to Ecstasy”. We’ll be creating a sacred space on the Harbin Hot Springs land, that will support manifesting a deep connection to the Divine. The 3-day program includes focused spiritual activities for deep relaxation, meditation and transformation--yoga, chanting, pranayama, water purification & nature--all which assist in deep letting go, allowing our natural ecstatic state to emerge. The cumulative effect keeps building! The tentative line-up of chant groups includes: Suzanne Sterling, Shantala (Benjy & Heather Wertheimer), Fanna Fi Allah Qawwali, Prema Mayi, Kathy Zavada, Arpita, Peter and The Harbin Kirtan Band, Uma Reed, Geoffrey Gordon, and more are being added!
