What to Expect

From the moment you arrive on Friday, October 9, 2026, you'll enter a sacred container designed for deep rest and spiritual renewal. The day unfolds with live kirtan and mantra chanting sessions that ground your nervous system and open your heart. You'll experience the hypnotic call-and-response of traditional kirtan music, feel the resonance of Tibetan healing bowls, and explore the gentle, flowing movements of Qigong to cultivate vitality and inner alignment.

Expect a blend of sitting, singing, moving, and breathing. Mornings may begin with grounding Qigong practices, while afternoons deepen your experience through extended kirtan sessions where you'll learn the melodies and meanings behind sacred chants. The sensory richness—the vibration of mantras in your chest, the shimmer of Tibetan bowls, the collective energy of voices harmonizing together—creates a powerful container for healing and transformation.

This kirtan retreat moves at a nurturing pace, with ample time for integration, rest, and quiet reflection. You'll leave feeling renewed, more connected to yourself and others, and with practical tools to bring the healing power of mantra music into your daily life.
