A Weekend Immersion

Lead by Sheela Bringi & Brent Kuecker

NO MUSICAL EXPERIENCE REQUIRED, JUST BRING YOUR VOICE!

An immersive and contemplative exploration into the practice of sacred music and mantra chanting in three Yogic traditions: Nāda Yoga, Bhakti Yoga and Mantra Yoga. Explore Kīrtan, group call-and-response devotional singing, as well as traditional Vedic mantra chanting. Rāgas (modes) of Indian classical music will be explored through group singing and improvisation. Guided sonic meditations will be interwoven throughout. This immersion can assist seekers to develop their musical voice, self-expression, and personal practice with Sonic Yoga.
