Mike Cohen & the Shakti Groove are excited to return bring their style of kirtan to the beautiful and sacred StarHouse in Boulder.
Mike, Dawnia and Michele will blend masculine and feminine energies as they share original chants from their 4 full albums and 2 EP’s. These accessible chants are grounded in the Sanskrit, Kundalini Yoga and Mashup (Mantra + English) lineages, blending Shakti (Divine Energy) and Groove (funky music). Ken and Bill provide the groove, while James adds hauntingly beautiful cello lines throughout. You are the choir, and are invited to chant, harmonize, clap and dance. Together we will drop into an exquisite flow state of loving awareness.
Our amazing band features:
Mike Cohen - harmonium and vocals
Dawnia Dresser, Michele Heaphy - vocals
Ken Matarazzo & David Hinojosa - percussion
James Hoskins - cello
Bill McCrossen - bass
DIRECTIONS TO THE STARHOUSE
• The StarHouse is located 3.5 miles west of Boulder up Sunshine Canyon.
• From 4th Street and Mapleton Avenue in Boulder, drive west on Mapleton Avenue (which turns into "Sunshine Canyon") about 3.5 miles.
• Turn right at the sign that reads "3476" and head up the driveway. Parking is clearly marked at the *top* of the hill.
• After parking, walk down the other side of the hill, towards the StarHouse, which you'll soon see through the trees. Please wear shoes appropriate for a short walk through a forest (you'll be taking them off once inside the StarHouse), and bring a flashlight to help.
