Chanting: Connecting to Divine through Sacred Sound workshop
Almost all spiritual traditions incorporate some form of chanting as a powerful gateway to self-realization and connection to the divine.
In this workshop we’ll examine the numerous benefits of mantra and chanting and discuss when and how to use them. We’ll also have an opportunity to experience the effects of the recitation of simple prayers, the repetition of specific mantras, (including bija mantras, the chakra sounds), chants from the Kripalu tradition, japa meditation, and kirtan, on all levels of our being. We also explore barriers and obstacles to vocal expression, such as fear and insecurity.
You do not have to be a singer or have musical ability to take this workshop.
