"My beloved child, break your heart no longer. Each time you judge yourself, you break your own heart. You stop feeding on the love which is the wellspring of your vitality. The time has come. Your time. To live. To celebrate. And to see the goodness that you are. You my child, are divine. You are pure. You are sublimely free. You are God in disguise. And you are always perfectly safe. Do not fight the dark. Just turn on the light. Let go, and breathe into the goodness that you are."
~ Swami Kripalu (as channeled by Carolyn Dell'uomo



" ...The unconscious has no time. There is no trouble about time in the unconscious. Part of our psyche is not in time and not in space. They are only an illusion, time and space, and so in a certain part of our psyche time does not exist at all."

~ Carl Jung

Chanting Workshop
Chanting: Connecting to Divine through Sacred Sound

Almost all spiritual traditions incorporate some form of chanting to connect to the divine.

In this workshop we learn about the numerous benefits of mantra and chanting, when and how to use them. We 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.

For more information on chanting, click here.
