Kirtan with Durga

Kirtan with Durga

When: Saturday, Feb 25 7:30 to 9:30 PM
Cost: free event ~ donations accepted

Kirtan is an ancient, meditative, heart-opening, call-and-response singing practice with mantras (energized Sanskrit sounds) put to simple, traditional melodies. It cultivates devotion to the sacred, ease of heart, prana (life force), inner and outer peace, and grounding in pure being.

Durga opened to the mystical dimension of spiritual music as a child and has led kirtan throughout the Northeast since 2000. She weaves soulful vocals with hand percussion, the accompaniment of improvisational musicians, and the wisdom of masters, altogether inspiring participants to sing their hearts out.

Durga delights in mobilizing spirit with those aiming to transform, heal manifest, and evolve. She has trained with masters in sanatana dharma and yoga since 1996, and joyously shares their inspiration and blessings. Her offerings glow with daily spiritual practice, over 30 years of gentle hatha yoga, and teachings of universal spiritual truths, including training in A Course in Miracles and Mindful Self-Compassion. Durga is a licensed Spiritual Health Coach, a certified Specialist in Biofeedback, Quantum Biofeedback, Pain Management, Stress Management, and a certified Shamballa-Reiki Healer. At the foundation of her work is a BA, graduate work, and an extensive background in child development focused on teaching and developmental assessment for research in medicine, cognition and education.

Durga established Quantum Breakthroughs to provide spiritual health coaching with advanced bio-energetic support for individuals and groups. She maintains a private practice and offers kirtan as a non-profit community service. In 2009, she co-founded another community service, Sweet Miracles, one in a series of Dharma Coaching programs for spiritual healing, empowerment and action on behalf of personal evolution and planetary peace.

Invitation to Musicians: To contribute your skill and joyful improvisation to this practice, contact Durga at QuantumBreakthroughs@gmail.com

Sensual Touch in SkyDancing Tantra

03 Mar 2012 19:00:00 GMT

Saturday, March 3, 2012, 2 – 5pm

Touch…Perhaps the most erotic of our five senses. It is through touch that we learn to reach out to others and discover love. Touch brings us love and touch can teach us about the outside.

Many of us were taught at any early age to ignore our desire to touch and reach out to others. In fact, many of us did not receive the touch that we required to learn about love. Consequently, we are unsure how to go about connecting our heart and body to love. In Tantra, we learn to connect and to express our desires and open to love. We also learn to receive love. During this workshop we will be focusing on Tantric touch. We will first find our desires, feel the sensual energy that these desires bring us and express these to others. Finally, we will explore giving and receiving loving touch to/ from others. All personal boundaries will be honored. You will not be asked to do something that is unpleasant to you. There will be no nudity in this workshop.
This workshop is an excellent prelude to the upcoming Tantric Massage weekend, March 30th-April 1st, 2012.

This workshop is open to singles and couples, regardless of gender preference. No Tantra experience is required.
Saturday, March 3, 2-5pm at Sacred Rivers Yoga

Cost: Early Registration, (before February 18, 2012)-$35.00 per person
Regular Registration, (after February 18, 2012)-$45.00 per person
