    Come gather in singing sacred names and shared devotion. Kīrtan is a joyful, heart opening call and response chanting practice that uplifts the spirit, invites connection within ourselves, with each other and with the divine. All voices welcome, exactly as you are, no experience needed

    Based in Portland, Kana Hattori is a devotional singer and kīrtan leader who offers this practice as a path of joy, bliss, devotion and deep emotional honesty from lived experience and deep gratitude.
    Kīrtan carried her through some of the most challenging seasons of her life, becoming a source of strength, refuge, trust and renewal.
    Now she shares it regularly in community, holding gentle, heart-centered spaces where all voices are welcome.

    Rooted in Bhakti, guided by heart, her offerings invite others to connect deeply within themselves, with each other and with the sacred, and to discover the joy, healing that awaken when we sing together, remembering that our own voices are medicine, and that devotion can be both powerful and tender.

    Need a way to “Wake up”? Holding onto extra pain, trauma, addictions, anxiety, and other stressors holding you down? Come to Wake ‘N Shake! Jillian and Syd combine harmonic meditation, ecstatic movement, creative arts and community in one permissive space to allow you to move energy through your body in whatever way speaks to you! We begin with a sound healing meditation, where we invite you to use your voices and droning instruments (we have shruti boxes and drums to share, but feel free to bring your own!) to tune ourselves through the chakras. The rest of the event opens up to ecstatic movement, art and social time where you are encouraged to flow! We provide the art supplies, but you are welcome to bring your own if you have projects you’re working on. We love to run a “You do you, boo-boo!” operation, with the solid rule of respect others and the space.

    Space and supplies are limited and this event has the potential to fill up.

    Sydän is a Reiki certified Sound Healing Facilitator who has chosen to focus on the heart chakra. The heart is the first organ to develop as we become human and the heart chakra is the loving and healing bridge between the upper and lower main chakras. It is her belief and understanding that once we deeply connect to ourselves and each other through working with and developing this space, the healing energy that is created will reverberate throughout our communities and ultimately create a better life experience for all inhabitants of earth. It starts with knowing and loving ourselves.
