Kakao & Kirtan

We all crave it - it's an essential need. Connection. Music reaches deep into our souls, our cells, our bodies, our hearts, and is a living bridge for us to Connect. Connect within ourselves, connect to the Divine, and connect in our communities, to all of our relations.

Are you ready to open your heart to states of joy, connection, communion, healing and expansion? To connect in community through sound and voice? To experience the joy and love of music that connects us all?

Adam Kandel and Becca Steinbach invite you to Real Eyes Meditation Center on Friday July 4th to come and celebrate Life, giving gratitude through ceremony, song, cacao and community. What a perfect time to join our hearts expressing our souls!

In this particular cacao song circle, we will be celebrating Adam's newest album release: Show Up As Love. A beautiful album of medicine songs and mantra, vibrant with Adam's palpable devotion, connection and uplifting , soul-inspiring rhythms. We invite you to download the album here! Let's celebrate our brother and show up as love :)

Beginning with the medicine of sacred, ceremonial Cacao, we will connect into and open our hearts, receiving insight and creating relationship with the sacred spirit of this grounding plant medicine. Then, we will ground in love, joy and connection through a song circle together in community, offering our prayers through Voice.

We will be singing a mixture of devotional medicine songs, kirtan style songs, and mantras.

(What is Kirtan? Call and response style of devotional singing. You will experience a variety of devotional songs including Sanskrit mantras, medicine songs, and more. Call and response style requires no knowledge of lyrics.)

Many songs will be sung Kirtan style, others will be sung all together. Most songs are easy to pick up and learn on the spot :)

Come and sing your heart full! As we shift within to that heart-full state, we bring the gift of our love into our daily world - through our thoughts, words and actions.

Please bring:
~a mug for Cacao
~Water
~a journal & pen
~a rattle or drum if you have one!
~dress for the weather, we will be outside
~a blanket to sit on outside
