October 1
A group of us performed kiirtan, Prabhat Samgiita, and bhajans at Mantra Cafe. Many Margiis came out to support us and sing along. This is a new venue that we hope to use in the near future.
October 3
I spent a day singing kiirtan and songs at Green Life Foods, the social hub of Asheville. Working hand in hand with Maya Devi, we raised relief funds for flood victims in the Philipines.
October 17, Diipavali - The Festival of Lights
I spent 3 weeks at ArtSpace Charter School making diipas and singing songs with the 3rd grade classes, with a final presentation for 3rd and 7th grades, including several staff and parents. Prashanta accompanied me on tabla and it was a great time, exposing the children to Indian culture, kiirtan, food and good vibrations!
November 7-15
Weekend workshops at Bend in the Ivy, and Prama Institute retreat centers. Dr. Sid Jordan (aka Visvamitra) and I presented Heart Circle kiirtans, where we sing healing kiirtan for participants. It was a profoundly transforming experience for all involved, and I look forward to being able to serve more people with 'more love'.♥
December 4-5
I just came from a wonderful, wintry women's retreat at Ananda Giirisuta where we sang and danced in abandonment, chanted and enjoyed deep meditations, ate way too many sweets, and strategized our next moves for the development of WWD-F. It was also my first snow in the Smokey Mountains - a real treat!
