Join us for Bhakti Rising-A Yoga, Meditation & Sacred Sound Music Festival, taking place September 25–27, 2026, at the beautiful Scholls Valley Lodge, nestled amongst the rolling hills just outside Portland. We'd absolutely love for you to join us.
September 25–27, 2026
Scholls Valley Lodge • Hillsboro, Oregon
Camping, Weekend Day Pass and Premium lodging with meal options available.
This is the inaugural year of Bhakti Rising—the planting of a beautiful seed and the beginning of a vision to cultivate a community rooted in Bhakti, Yoga, sacred music, culture, and the celebration of life.
More than simply another festival, this is an intentionally curated gathering—more vibrant than a quiet retreat, yet more intimate than a commercial festival. It honors the depth of living wisdom traditions while sharing them through a joyful, expressive, and contemporary lens, bringing together some of the Pacific Northwest's most heart-centered musicians, yoga teachers, facilitators, and practitioners.
The intention is simple: Heart Awakening.
Devotion in Motion. Love in Action beyond limits.
Awaken your Heart. Root into your Power, Voice, Joy & Expression.
Bhakti Rising invites us to gather in shared practice, shared voice, shared rhythm, and shared presence. It is a space where stillness and celebration coexist, where music is not only performed but experienced together, and where community itself becomes part of the practice.
At the heart of the weekend is Bhakti—the yoga of love and devotion. Through kirtan, collective singing, Nāda Yoga (the Yoga of Sound), yoga, meditation, movement, and contemplative practices, we remember that love is not simply something we feel—it is something we practice, celebrate, and embody together.
The gathering is lovingly curated and presented by Mokshajyoti, founder of Moss & Moksha. An Indian-born sacred sound and devotional artist, embodiment facilitator, and community builder with roots in Hindustani classical music and India's living wisdom traditions, she is passionate about bringing people together through music, yoga, and heart-centered community. Her vision is to create a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern life—honoring tradition while sharing it in a way that feels joyful, welcoming, and alive for today's world.
We're deeply honored to welcome Swami Yatidharmananda, a monk from Uttarkashi in the Indian Himalayas. He carries the depth of traditional wisdom with remarkable simplicity, warmth, and joy. A kirtan singer, djembe player, founder of the School of Well Being, he has a beautiful gift for making spirituality feel deeply human, accessible, and joyful.
Joining this inaugural gathering are an inspiring community of musicians, yoga teachers, facilitators, and practitioners from across the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

Rather than simply attending workshops, we become part of a living community.
