A weekend immersion in Kirtan, Bhakti practice, Sound yoga and Asana with Kavita & friends.
~ Awakening Bhakti ~
Come spend three special days in Bhakti and Kirtan practice at the beautiful Oregon Coast.
Awakening Bhakti is a chance to spend time with Kavita and the Open Heart Sangha musicians, sing with others in community, explore voice and music in the workshop space, and enjoy the power and magnificence of the Pacific Northwest beach at Yachats. Accommodations will be in the Kitchen Suites at the Yachats Inn.
Participants are invited to arrive any time after 3 pm Friday, October 13th to check in. We will share an evening vegetarian meal and then offer Kirtan to get the weekend going! See the schedule below for other sessions.
Partial attendance is possible if you can only make some of the weekend. Get in touch with Kavita to arrange. There is a 2-night minimum for the room reservations. One person can reserve and others can drop in for the entire time or partial time. Let Kavita know if you are reserving and looking for folks to share with. See info below for room details!
