Desert Healing Sound Bath Kirtan at Equinimity
Sound baths are musical and vibratory landscapes which awaken the energy channels in the human organism, allowing deeper self-reflection and inhabitation of the physical, emotional, and mental components of our being. These are not songs but draw on elements of instrumental and vocal pieces played live and overlapping with live recorded loops to create a harmonious experience of interconnectedness with the divine forces shaping our life. Simple openness to the experience enhanced by offering your focused awareness to the soundscape enables the listener and collective to clear energy stagnation and enhance patterns for healing, growth, and empowerment to reach our goals.
Kirtan is an opportunity for the group to respond in offering their voice to repeat the simple Sanskrit mantras being offered by the leader, as participants feel called. In this call and response format, the group is invited to sing along and enhance the vibratory field of the sacred Sanskrit mantras invoking love, devotion, service, and auspiciousness (positive synchronistic effects).
Join us for rejuvenating evenings celebrating the enhanced musical energies. Please bring instruments, your yoga mats and/or blankets if you would like to lay on the floor.
Event Dates: TBD

Number of participants: Up to 35 participants

Evening Agenda:
- 6:30 PM: Arrival
- 6:45 PM: Orientation and Discussion around the energies of this divine lunar position, where the near full-moon is located with the star Shravana, called the star of listening. In Vedic Astrology (from ancient India),Shravana is the star in the sky representing our spiritual capacity to hear deeper layers of truth and absorb spiritual teachings, as symbolized by the ear. On this auspicious day for music and sound vibration, the moon representing our minds beckons us, empowering each of us to listen deeper to subtle experience of our lives. We are called to hear our soul’s message, allowing the truths of our experience to resonate within, cleansing the mirror of our hearts to see our true nature of love and devotion. Much more to come on this!
