Kirtan is a form of bhakti (“Bhak-tee”), the yoga of devotion; jnana (“gyah-nah”), the yoga of wisdom; and mantra, the yoga of sound. Mantras are words, phrases, and syllables that are repeated until they become integrated into the chanter’s consciousness. Practitioners of kirtan believe that this sacred, traditional practice allows them to access inner peace, calm, connection, and non-thinking.
All are welcome; no experience necessary.

“Only through our connectedness to others can we really know and enhance the self. And, only through working on the self, can we begin to enhance our connectedness to others”
-Harriet Goldhor Learner
Although at times we feel alone in our trials and triumphs, that is not true. We temporarily forget our internal connection to Source and our inherent need for connection to people and nature. When we do remember these bonds, we are re-energized by the cycle of receiving and sharing the natural flow of divine energy. By emptying ourselves through selfless service, we are replenished to serve again. We feel inspired and we inspire others. Come join us for a day of renewal and reconnection through meditation, discovery, support, and friendship. Register here.

This class, taught over two Saturdays by Jean Wetzel, will be a very simple and brief introduction to the ancient astrology of India, known as jyotish. We will discuss the basics of looking at a North Indian astrological birth chart, as well as looking at some charts of famous people as models for interpretation. Primary topics will be astrological signs, houses, and planets and how to assess strengths and weaknesses in an individual’s chart.
The text book for the class will be “Vedic Astrology: Simply Put”, by William Levacy. It can be purchased through Amazon or any other online retailer. (There will not be any books available at Awakening. Please purchase your book ahead of time.)
For those who would like to dive deeper into to the topic “Light on Life” by Hart de Fouw is suggested reading.
This six hour course is offered with a suggested donation of $50.00. Register here.
