The Heart of the Path with Krishna Das and Nina Rao ~A week-long retreat of chant, workshops, discussions, and music with Krishna Das and Nina Rao.

This retreat is a wonderful opportunity to immerse in the practice of chant in all its forms – call-and-response kirtan, chanting of long-form prayers to the goddess, the Hanuman Chalisa and more, as well as practice of japa or veda mantra recitation. In addition, we have the opportunity to sit with Krishna Das as he offers an open forum for Q&A and discussions of whatever might be on your mind! Many have found great solace in just hanging out together and sharing in our intentions, challenges, and doubts.

In addition, Krishna Das and Nina will be accompanied by Arjun Bruggeman on tabla, who has been playing with them for almost two decades. Arjun will offer his own ‘rhythmic sound and mantra’ journey – an immersive sound journey where rhythm and mantra become the bridge between the outer world and the vast, uncharted depths of the inner self. Through the primal power of percussive instruments—frame drum, tabla, kalimba and hang drum—we create a pulsing, textured soundscape that gently dissolves the surface noise of the mind, guiding you into a deep state of presence and release.

DETAILS & REGISTRATION

Join Nina Rao for this transformational offering where you will learn traditional ancient chants:

Feb 11: Veda Chanting for Clarity
Nina will share her practice of chanting of the profound Gāyatrī mantra as she has learned in the ancient continuing lineage of her teacher from South India. We will learn the pronunciation, intonation, and practice japa (repetition) of this powerful mantra. Bring your mala. This practice will be in traditional recitation form without musical accompaniment. No experience is necessary.

Feb 12: Prayer to the Goddess:
Through music and mantra, we will invoke the divine in her feminine form as the Great Mother by singing traditional prayers and kirtan. Nina will share stories from her guru Sri Siddhi Ma. No experience is necessary.

Feb 13: Chanting the Hanuman Chalisa:
The Hanuman Chalisa is a sacred 40-verse devotional hymn recited for hundreds of years in India to the Hindu monkey god Hanuman. Together we will chant the Chalisa along with musical accompaniment and discover how this ancient practice is still relevant to us today.
