🎶 Kirtan Meditation Practice & Dinner 🎶

Come experience the power of sacred sound, community, and devotion.

Kirtan (keer-tahn) is a heart-centered meditation practice rooted in Bhakti Yoga, the yoga of devotion. Through simple call-and-response chanting, live music, and shared presence, we create space to quiet the mind, open the heart, and connect more deeply with the Divine.

Whether you're new to kirtan or have practiced before, all are welcome. No musical experience is needed—just bring an open heart.

What a joyful afternoon at Retreat House as we gathered to celebrate the launch of House of Becoming and welcome our new Executive Director, Aaron Manes.

The gathering was filled with beautiful stories, heartfelt conversations, and inspiring readings from both new contributors and authors who have been part of the House of journey since the very beginning. Each reflection offered a glimpse into the wisdom, courage, and sacred unfolding that shape our community.

We were also grateful for the covenant partners who brought and shared books they have published over the years. Their stories reminded us of the many ways creativity, spirituality, and lived experience can become gifts for others.

Beyond the readings, the afternoon was filled with laughter, meaningful connections, and the simple joy of being together. Delicious refreshments—including some unforgettable homemade ice cream—made the celebration even sweeter.

Thank you to everyone who joined us. Together, we celebrated not only a new book and a new chapter of leadership, but the ongoing story of a community committed to growth, belonging, and becoming.
