Through the practice of kirtan (call and response singing), we will still our minds, open our hearts, and connect to our inner joy. 

Darren's original songs integrate ancient Sanskrit mantras with uplifting English lyrics. These ancient mantras help us to raise our vibration and connect to a higher level of consciousness. By sharing our voices together, we will overcome the illusion of separation and create a unified field of love and oneness. 

As part of this circle, Darren will offer each attendee a reiki infused Gayatri Mantra blessing. Also Included in this circle will be a cacao ceremony. Cacao is both a superfood and a plant medicine. As a plant medicine, she is here to help us open our hearts so that we can experience unconditional love for ourselves and all of humanity and return to our natural state of oneness. She was known by our ancestors as Chicoy, the heart blood (the water that runs through the heart). She was so revered for her healing properties, that these ancient cultures exchanged her as currency to pay taxes! Today, she invites us to reconnect to the sacredness that has been lost in modern culture, and to reconnect to the love that we have for Gaia and all of her inhabitants.
