Awakening Bhakti: A Celebration of Divine and Human Love

Jai Uttal with Daniel Paul

When: 10am-1pm
Where: 7 Centers Yoga
2115 Mountain Road
Sedona, AZ
Tickets: $55. Preregister here.
Website: www.bhaktitribesedona.com
Details: Bhakti Yoga is the path of personal relationship with Spirit, with God, with Goddess; a relationship that includes all the flavors and moods of the human heart. In the journey of Bhakti our emotions become the fuel to reconnect us with the Divine and to find healing and wholeness within ourselves. Through singing Kirtan we explore, express and share the deepest caverns of our souls and ultimately find the eternal spring of love.

For everyone who loves and practices Kirtan, Jai will share and demystify some of their secrets particularly the ‘fact’ that with just a little understanding of music and rhythm and a lot of self acceptance we all can sing and lead and share our hearts with others. The practice of chanting, itself, can become our teacher, guiding us home.

Details: Drawing from a variety of traditions and blending diverse aspects of yoga, this special four-hour workshop is a unique collaboration, one which will guide you through different aspects of your Being – to refine your practice; open new inner doors; and realign, nourish and nurture seeds of intention. James Higgins will open with a Meditative Flow practice that will guide you inward, toward “untapped resources of transformation, healing, wisdom and love.” Christy Brown will follow with a Yin Yoga practice which will deeply calm and open body and mind, leading you toward an inner space of serene clarity and contentment. Nubia Teixeira will then lead you through a gentle Asana Flow & Mudra practice, based on the postures and mudras of deities of the Hindu pantheon. Jai Uttal’s Bhakti Lullaby will seamlessly move you from asana to savasana and into a spirit of blissful devotion and gratitude – culminating with Jai’s unparalleled Kirtan experience – so that we may water the seeds of our intentions with joy, celebration and dedication to the divine.

Spring Ecstatic Chant

Jai Uttal with Daniel Paul and friends

Where: Omega Institute
150 Lake Drive
Rhinebeck, NY
Website: www.eomega.org
Details: Celebrate spring with a weekend of inspiring musical prayer. Known in India as kirtan (Sanskrit for “devotional chanting”), the call-and-response, rhythmic quality of these prayers kindles a joyful mood and can lead to profound states of deep meditation. In India, kirtan is accepted as one of the surest paths to enlightenment.

During the weekend, we sing a variety of traditional and new chants in an array of chanting styles, accompanied by contemporary and ancient instruments, including the harmonium and tabla—standards in Indian classical music. The weekend includes an extraordinary late-night Saturday session.

This fifth annual program is a spring version of Omega’s Labor Day weekend ecstatic chant, which has enthralled sold-out audiences for many years.
