This Easter gathering offers a meaningful way to appreciate and reflect upon the day's true essence—transformation, hope, and new life—through sound, movement, and community. All paths welcome; come as you are.
5pm – 6pm Evening Workshop - Being Happiness
On this Easter Sunday, we come together to explore what it truly means to be human, the shared longing for renewal that echoes the day's message of rising into new life. We'll trace the golden thread running through spiritual traditions and human insight, focusing on gratitude, forgiveness, love, and service as pathways to authentic living. This session invites you to recognize the happiness already present within, releasing old burdens and stepping into empowered, compassionate presence for yourself and others. A gentle, reflective start to an evening of awakening and connection.
7pm – 8:30pm - Sacred Music Gathering / Kirtan
Jordan's kirtan creates genuinely moving communal experiences centered on gratitude, forgiveness, and love. Laughter, deep heart-cleansing tears, and an organic sense of connection, to one another and to something greater, arise spontaneously. We go deep into the heart while keeping the space lighthearted and real, welcoming total beginners and lifelong practitioners alike.
Together we'll chant Buddhist and Sanskrit mantras, offering prayers for those who have passed, those yet to come, our Mother Earth, our inner child, our ancestors, and each other.
On Easter Sunday, this call-and-response becomes a shared act of renewal: rising together through sound, forgiving what needs release, awakening hope, and embracing the possibility of new beginnings in unity and devotion.
9pm – 10:15pm - Dance Journey & Yoga Nidra - Sacred Embodiment
Following the Kirtan, step into an optional 75-minute Dance Journey. These powerful dance sessions are a rich opportunity to move our bodies in space and time on a journey through the cosmos.
The sonic landscape incorporates indigenous rhythms from around the world, the sounds of nature, the sacred elements, classical, jazz, and the occasional nod to the spirit of classic rock and roll.
Sprinkled throughout the journey are spoken word samples of spiritual greats, infusing every footstep with intention and joy. Held in a drug- and alcohol-free environment that prioritizes authentic connection and deep release, we honor Easter's theme of rebirth by letting go of what no longer serves and rising into freer, more alive embodiment.
The journey concludes with a 15-minute sound bath Savasana (lying down) that includes a guided meditation (Yoga Nidra) to dissolve remaining tension, integrate the night's energy, and rest in profound peace and happiness.
Biography:
Jordan Loder is an international kirtan artist whose devotional chanting flows from raw vulnerability and heartfelt presence. His concerts and retreats have graced stages worldwide, from festivals to yoga studios, fostering community through call-and-response chanting rooted in timeless bhakti traditions—expressed in a contemporary way that is all his own.
Compassionate invocations gently open the heart. Rhythmic waves of call-and-response chanting uplift and unify. Tender moments of silence invite you to rest in your own essence, where separation dissolves and the ever-present Self is revealed.
Jordan's approach is refreshing in its depth and sincerity: profound without pretense, free of spiritual titles or proclaimed powers, carried instead with quiet humility, gentle humor, and an effortless lightness of being.
He draws from extensive immersion in the global kirtan community having toured with beloved artists like Snatam Kaur, Deva Premal & Miten, GuruGanesha, Simrit, Ajeet, The Landis Brothers, Hans Christian, Stephen Bross, Matt Pszonak, and Adam Bauer.
Influenced deeply by Ramana Maharshi's teachings—first felt in youth and later deepened through pilgrimage and extended residence near Arunachala—Jordan weaves ancient Hindu and Buddhist mantras centered on forgiveness, gratitude, and compassion.
