Join us on our first Spring Kirtan Retreat to the exotic land of Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.  Famous for its tropical beaches and jungles, the Dominican Republic has much to offer in natural beauty and healthy environment.  Combine the location with The Mayapuris and Yogi Charu and the Spring Kirtan Retreat guarantees the perfect rejuvenation for body, mind and spirit.

Yogi Charu, world renowned Yoga instructor to Hollywood celebrities, will lead us in daily yoga classes.  Taking his students deep into understanding the philosophy of Yoga, breath-work, and physical Asana exercise, Yogi Charu taps into the teachings of ancient teachers and personal experience to give a well-rounded understanding of the Yogic traditions.  www.yogicharu.com

And what spiritual journey is complete without Kirtan?!  Give voice to your inner self by learning how to express your spirit through kirtan.  We will conduct workshops on all aspects of Kirtan, from leading kirtan, instrument playing and dancing, to the deeper meaning of the sacred Mantras.

Here’s what you can expect to learn on the Spring Kirtan Retreat:

-3 chants (bhajans) including the words, pronunciation, and the philosophy within the chant.

-3 raagas (melodies) sung vocally and your choice of harmonium or flute.  Includes booklet with instructions and practices.

-A basic understanding of 3 taalas (rhythms) on mridanga drum, kartals, and clapping too.

-There will also be workshops on dance.  Participants can expect to learn 5 mudras with meanings, 5 foundational steps of classical dance, and 5 exciting kirtan dance steps!

The Spring Kirtan Retreat will include accommodations, pure veg meals, adventurous excursions, and a healthy consciousness.  Take a Spring Break and enjoy true peace and serenity.
We look forward to sharing this journey with you.
