Chant & Chai Community Gatherings
This summer I'll be offering some in-person opportunities to gather in community for practice. These will be open to anyone regardless of experience.
Each gathering gathering will be about 90 minutes include:
* the mythology or cultural background and importance of the chant/mantra
* breakdown of Sanskrit pronunciation and translation
* group practice including meditation, pranayama (breathwork), and japa (repetition of mantra)
* time in community
My overall goal with these gatherings is to build community through chanting. When we chant together the positive vibration that we put out into our environment is profound. When we chant together we can create positive shifts not only in our own lives but the the entire world.
Our next gathering will be on Sunday, July 28 at 3PM in Cape Elizabeth.
These events are by donation with a suggested contribution of $20-$25.
No experience is necessary.
At this one we’ll be working on an extended version of the Gayatri Mantra called the Gayatri Pranayama. This is a practice that combines, chanting, breathwork and some silent meditation. The energy called to in this chant is Savitre, an aspect of the sun, which is an external reflection of the light of the soul.
If you're interested in joining this one or would like to be notified of upcoming Chant & Chai events fill out the form below and I’ll send you the details.
I'm hoping to bring these circles to a variety of locations. If you are interested in hosting a Chant & Chai gathering, please let me know!
