Bhakti, Nada Yoga & Sound Somatics Thursdays
Awakenings Wellness Center, SE PDX -In Person
7:30pm-9:00pm
Because sound is not just something we listen to.
It is a pathway — a bridge — into higher consciousness.
In many sacred traditions, sound is the original vibration, the pulse from which all creation emerged. When we work with sound consciously — through mantra, humming, rāga, breath, intuitive voice, or silence — we begin to access states of awareness that are clearer, quieter, and more connected than the thinking mind.
And our voice…
Our voice is not merely an instrument.
It is a portal.
A portal into emotional release.
A portal into our nervous system.
A portal into memory, intuition, and inner knowing.
A portal into the deeper intelligence of who we truly are.
When we free the voice, we free the self.
When we sing together, we lift not only our own consciousness, but the consciousness of the collective field.
That is the heart behind these Thursday nights.
🌿 Bhakti, Nada Yoga & Sound Somatics Thursdays

Nada-Vocal Yoga, Sound Somatics & Embodied Voice Night
Awakenings Wellness Center, 1016 Southeast 12th Avenue, Portland, OR, USThis evening is a deeply supportive, trauma-informed exploration of how sound, movement, and breath can regulate the nervous system, release emotional tension, and awaken the voice. We blend somatic practices with breath-led soundwork, including pranayama / yogic breathwork, vocal toning, humming, gentle shaking, grounding movements, intuitive singing, indian raaga based practices and simple chanting to open the voice and heart.
This night is not about performance — it is about personal healing, emotional expression, and embodied presence. Participants are invited to use their voice in a safe, non-judgmental space, reconnecting with inner sound, and cultivating a deeper relationship with their body. The experience is intentionally slow, grounding, and accessible to all levels and sensitivities.
The session will include a mix of:- somatic warm-ups and grounding practices
- Indian raaga based vocal practice
- pranayama and yogic breathwork for regulation
- humming, resonance, and vocal toning
- intuitive, improvised singing guided by inner sensation
- Chanting practices for focus, energetic opening, and heart connection
- gentle movement, micro-movements, and shaking for tension release
- a calming integration period with soft sound or silence
- a warm community mingling time at the end of the session to connect, share, and unwind together
Perfect for those seeking nervous system support, emotional release, voice liberation, and a grounded, embodied connection with themselves through sound. All levels welcome.

Ecstatic Kirtan, Meditation and Community Singing
Awakenings Wellness Center, 1016 Southeast 12th Avenue, Portland, OR, USThis effort is part of the Bhakti, Sound and Soma Thursdays by Mokshajyoti. Kirtan gathering meets every first and third thursdays.
Bhakti Yoga is the yoga of divine love — a path of opening the heart through devotion, music, connection, and the remembrance that we are held by something larger than ourselves. One of its most joyful practices is kirtan: a call-and-response style of mantra singing that invites us to drop out of the thinking mind and into the vibration of the heart.
Join Moksha Jyoti of Moss & Moksha for a vibrant and heart-opening evening of embodied kirtan. Mokshajyoti's Kirtans are traditional Indian melodic inspired rhythms.This is not a quiet, passive experience — it’s an embodied, rhythmic, communal singing circle rooted in the Bhakti Yoga tradition.
Together we’ll chant simple mantras, drum, clap, and sing like a living choir. Expect a warm, earthy, tribal-inspired atmosphere where voices weave together, rhythms pulse, and music becomes a shared prayer.
What makes this gathering unique:- Earthy, tribal-inspired kirtan with drums, shakers, movement, and communal rhythm
- A welcoming, inclusive community atmosphere where you can sing loudly, softly, or simply listen
- Optional reflection & sharing to deepen connection and belonging
- Shakers & small instruments provided
- Children welcome — a beautiful way for young ones to explore rhythm and voice (please supervise your child). Children attend for free with caregivers presence, as long as they are comfortable with sound, music, singing and moments of stillness and during meditation.
We’ll journey from quiet meditation into ecstatic sound, rhythm, and spontaneous movement — letting the body express what words cannot.
No musical or mantra experience is needed. Just bring your voice, your breath, and your openness to be moved.
Please reach out if cost is an issue or you need a discount. No one turned back for lack of funds.Pre-registration preffered here .
