The Hanuman Chalisa is a 40-verse song to Hanuman, the most devoted servant of Ram, praising his exploits from the spiritual epic 'The Ramayana.' The practice of chanting the Chalisa is a life-changing journey into one’s own heart space, opening us to the love within and without of which we are all a part.

In this online Satsang, we will meet each day to cover another section of the Hanuman Chalisa adding on to what we have learned in previous days. The rhythmic cadence of the song is a way to unlock the practice and with this in mind, we will practice both singing & saying the words. Attention will also be given to pronunciation and meaning.

No experience necessary, ALL are welcome. Chant sheets will be sent out prior to the first class.

ALL are welcome to join in on any Tuesday session as a drop-in.

Suggested donation $108 for the 13 week course

to Sep 7

Omega Voices Together Ecstatic Chant

Omega's Ecstatic Chant weekend is a chance to bring our voices together with some of the Western world's leading devotional singers, to reunite in community, and to nourish the soul with a rich tradition of musical prayer and meditation.

Known in Sanskrit as kirtan, devotional chanting awakens a longing in the heart for the experience of inner silence, boundless love, and union with the divine. Kirtan emerged from Hindu traditions in India and is today practiced by millions. The call-and-response, rhythmic quality of these unifying chants kindles an exhilarating, joyful mood.

Explore a variety of chants and chanting styles, interspersed with rejuvenating sessions of meditation, yoga, and story sharing.

As one of the most popular events at Omega, Ecstatic Chant has helped open many hearts. Get lost in the music, the power of community, and strengthen your connection to a higher power.

With Krishna Das, Jai Uttal, Nina Rao, Guara Vani, Visvambhar Seth, Steve Gorn & Jaya Lakshmi. Kavita will be supporting Jaya Lakshmi and other artists during this fabulous weekend of high vibrational chanting!

Jo
in us for a deeply moving evening of sacred music, prayer, and connection with Youssoupha Sidibe at Alberta Abbey in Northeast Portland. Rooted in the rich musical traditions of West Africa while infused with soulful melodies, meditative rhythms, and contemporary global influences, Youssoupha’s music invites audiences into a heart-centered experience of reverence, celebration, and collective presence.

The evening will begin with a devotional opening set by Portland vocalist and sound practitioner Kat Macmillan, whose work weaves together mantra, ritual, embodied voice, and deep listening. From there, Youssoupha Sidibe will guide the room through the transcendent sounds of the kora, expressive vocals, and immersive sonic landscapes, offering space to listen deeply, gather in community, and experience music as a bridge between cultures, histories, and spirit.


Youssoupha Sidibe

Youssoupha Sidibe is a Senegalese West African kora (African harp) player whose music transcends tradition while remaining deeply rooted in ancestral lineage. Throw out all your ideas of what a harpist is. Youssoupha breaks beyond traditional kora styles hundreds of years old to create a sound entirely his own, blending the ethereal beauty of the 21-string kora with soulful melodies and contemporary global influences.

Through decades of international touring, collaboration, and performance, Youssoupha has developed a devoted audience around the world. Grammy nominated for his collaboration with Matisyahu on “Youth,” he has recorded and performed with artists including Michael Franti, India.Arie, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Steve Kimock, Midnite, Michael Kang of String Cheese Incident, Chris Berry Trio, Shimshai, and many others.

A devoted practitioner of the Baye Fall Sufi tradition, Youssoupha’s music carries a deep sense of devotion, healing, and spiritual connection. His performances are more than concerts. They are immersive experiences of rhythm, prayer, joy, and remembrance.
