Kirtan & Yoga Nidra with Douglas

Kirtan is a call-and-response chanting practice in Sanskrit, popularized in 16th-century India by Sri Krishna Chaitanya. Using mantras set to music, participants sing together, losing the sense of separation. It’s not a performance but a participatory practice where you can sit, stand, dance, or sway, but everyone must sing! The experience can be meditative, ecstatic, or transcendent.Yoga Nidra, or ‘conscious sleep,’ is a form of guided meditation, typically done lying down. It offers the benefits of meditation without the challenges beginners face. It’s accessible yet powerful, helping with stress, trauma, and personal transformation. Studies show 11 hours of practice can create measurable changes in the brain.
Beyond relaxation, Yoga Nidra facilitates deep personal change, helping to overcome limiting beliefs and access spiritual realization.
