Let’s come together for this Summer Solstice Full Moon Ceremoni. During this sound bath meditation, we’ll envision peace, care, healing & liberation for all through loving affirmations and journaling integrations.

The Solstice Full Moon happens on the day the Sun is absolutely at its highest of the year while the full moon is the very lowest we’ll see in years. Because the Moon is so low, it will appear bigger than ever. This is called the “Moon Illusion.” (via Farmer’s Almanac)

Have a candle, water, earbuds or speakers ready. Bilingual instruction available. Instruction bilingüe, con gusto.

As we commemorate Dia de los Muertos, let's come together in a virtual space of reflection and remembrance. This day offers us a sacred moment to honor our ancestors, the lives we've lost, and those we hold dear, whether they are near or far. In this collective gathering, we'll embrace the solemnity and beauty of this time-honored tradition to acknowledge the enduring connections that transcend physical boundaries.

During our virtual gathering, we will engage in a meditative session accompanied by the healing sounds of crystal bowls. These soothing, resonant tones will help us center our thoughts and emotions, creating a space of tranquility and introspection. As we meditate, let us radiate love outward, envisioning a world imbued with peace, care, compassion, and understanding. This is a moment to imagine a future where everyone is free, a world that our ancestors dreamed of and a legacy we wish to leave for generations to come.

As part of the “I Have Paid a Price for my Commitment” exhibit featuring the work of revolutionary artist, Elizabeth Catlett, I am honored to offer a free, community sound bath in alignment with the celestial balance of the 2023 Autumnal Equinox.

We'll co-create an immersive, sacred space by tuning into crystal bowls and nature’s song composed from plants' electrical biorhythms. Together, we’ll practice conscious breathing and contribute to a ceremonial altar to connect with each other and our ancestral realms.

Through this collective healing ritual, we will ask for guidance as we envision a world of love, peace and care for all. Personal reflection and integration will help us conclude the program.

Please bring natural elements, plants, meaningful objects, written dreams or family photos as altar offerings.

We are delighted to invite you for the first PRANA MANDIR Kirtan in a beautiful new series which will include Music and Sound Healing, sacred yogic breath work, and chanting Sanskrit and Gurmukhi mantras from the heart.

The Sound Bath will use crystal bowls and natural sounds to take you on an inner journey. Bringing relaxation through full-body listening, a Sound Bath only asks that you are present and open to receive. If you are new to the experience, there is little instruction and very few rules, but please do bring a blanket or shawl so that you can lay down and be comfortable.

The Collective, drawn from our lineage tradition of Shabd Kriya Yoga, is a Sonic Theology! Originally from North India, we honor the roots of Yoga in sacred sound as we come together to form a new tradition at this pivotal time in history. Creating a new path forward as an inspired, ethical, spiritual community of Kriya Yogis, we celebrate the ancient holiday of Guru Purnima and receive the perfect light of the Full Moon with a Ceremoni Sound Bath on July 3rd.

Inherent in yoga is a potential for building systemic strength and healthy, vital energy throughout all seasons! But the truest practice of yoga is to be free, compassionate and attuned to the callings of your soul-Self.
