Invoking the Goddess
An evening of kirtan devoted to awakening the divine feminine within.

Join Abby Spotskey, Laura Lalita Harness, and Teya for a heart-opening gathering of sacred mantra and song.

Through the chanting of ancient mantras, we invoke the presence of the Divine Mother—nurturing strength, inner peace, balance, resilience, love, and creative flow.

The addition of the harp brings a unique, ethereal texture to the music, creating a deeply soothing and expansive soundscape.

An evening of kirtan devoted to awakening the divine feminine within.

Through the chanting of sacred mantras, we gather in community to invoke the presence of the Divine Mother—nurturing strength, inner peace, balance, resilience, love, and creative flow. No experience is needed—just a willingness to listen, chant, and open your heart.

Come as you are and allow yourself to be held, uplifted, and renewed in the power of shared voice and sacred sound.

Abby Spotskey has been expanding her heart through the practices of yoga for over 30 years. A certified E-RYT500 yoga teacher, she has helped numerous people to up-level their lives by connecting to their bodies with breath and movement. Over the past several years, she has recognized the devotional path of Bhakti and its role in her life experience. Chanting is one of the sacred expressions of Bhakti and is so beneficial for the heart and mind. Her first formal endeavor was singing with Threshold Choir International. Supporting people at various thresholds; death, birth, life celebrations, with just the beauty of the voice, she witnessed first hand the power of song. 

Abby leads monthly kirtans with her band Journey Om in Flagstaff and is thrilled to collaborate with Laura Lalita Harness and Teya with Shatki Ma. Offering devotional music through the co-creation of kirtan is one of her biggest joys. You can find her offerings of music, workshops and yoga classes under her name at http://www.humanitix.com/
