Living Your Potential with Amarjit Singh
Saturday, February 11th at 1:45pm

Understanding the psychological blocks that prevent you from radiating your unique self.

We want to feel that we are giving our best in life: that we are moving toward our potential. Yet, we often feel frustrated because we know we could be accomplishing more. We can realize our potential, if we allow ourselves. Our external experience is just a projection of our internal experience. To change our patterns and harness our power we have to understand the psychological blocks that hold us back. We have to transform the internal.

Topics covered:
o Defining and discovering your individual life purpose and life lesson
o Creating awareness of the patterns in your life and creating new patterns
o Removing psychological obstacles preventing you from your potential

o Understanding, appreciating, and celebrating your potential o Creating confidence in your unique self-expression

Kirtan with Girish

Girish sings traditional Sanskrit mantras with a modern, funky, yet deeply devotional twist. Accompanied by his amazing band, Girish invites his audience to participate by singing along, call and response chanting, and dancing.

Girish continues to explore and expand musical borders, and has found new avenues for his artistic expression. Yearning to express the power of Sanskrit mantras through his own voice has been a driving force behind his CD's, Reveal (Mondolaya Music, May 2004), Shiva Machine (Spirit Voyage Music, April 2006), Yoga Vision(DVD), and his latest release Diamonds in the Sun

Kabbalah Satsang with the Kirtan Rabbi
Wednesday, February 22nd from 6:30-8:15pm

Learn, breathe, sing, go deep, make friends.

Bring your open hearts, swaying bodies and curious minds to a delicious evening of chant, meditation, chi gung and mystical learning with Reb Drew, the Kirtan Rabbi. We will sing a lot. We will stretch and sit. And, on this evening, we will learn about Ecstatic Kabbalah: an esoteric practice born out of the power of Hebrew — like Sanskrit, one of the uniquely vibrational languages — to draw us into special connection with the Divine. Absolutely no need to be Jewish or know any Hebrew to take this gathering fully into your hearts.

Kirtan with Wah!
Friday, March 30th at 8:30pm

About Wah!:
Hip elegance flows from the lovely voice of Wah! If you've taken a yoga class in the last five years, you have no doubt heard her music. Sultry and indisputably real, she's the most engaging performer in the yoga & lifestyle market. She's spent ten years cultivating her sound, reinventing the traditional kirtan of India. A lifelong yogi, beginning yoga and meditation at age 17, she traveled to Europe, India and Africa seeking community and spiritual teachings. Her band now combines these traditions musically - with reggae, Hindu chanting and pop - and in it she finds the pulse of America's evolution in spirituality. It's not a sit-down concert; everybody sings. Devotional traditions of the world mix with Western influences... people dance... sing... meditate... The room comes alive with a group expression, led by the charismatic and talented Wah! She plays with the audience, singing the melody one way and then another way, she jams with the band, and sometimes one song will go on for 40 minutes. There's a fervor to it, but it's not religion. It comes from the East but it's not exotic. Americans want something real, something that touches the heart; they're tapping into a new form of spirituality and Wah! is right there to bring it to life in a uniquely American way. The magic is in the event itself - an audience participation experience of ecstatic transcendence. Wah is a Sanskrit word meaning bliss beyond description; it is also the name of a talented musician. Wah! uses her music to bring audiences to a state of bliss.
