We are deeply excited to share this evening of connection, healing, and soul preparation through the power of sound, breath, and sacred song. Join us on this special night and step into a transformative journey of the heart. We are thrilled to bring together two powerful modalities of divine work: WhaleBreathing and Kirtan. Together, they create a sacred space of harmony, unity, and love, offering participants a transformative experience that nurtures the body, mind, and spirit.

Kirtan + Sound Journey
With Shanti (Wendy) Warnimont, Ananda Lila Kirtan
Kirtan is far more than a musical performance; it is a meditative and communal spiritual practice. Through call-and-response chanting of mantras and sacred songs, Kirtan weaves rhythm and melody into a powerful tool for inner peace, heart-opening, and divine connection. Its healing vibrations transcend the mind, foster unity, and create a shared energetic field that inspires transformation, joy, and deep spiritual alignment.

In this unique event, Kirtan’s call-and-response chanting merges with the subtle energies of soundscape vignettes for integration. Together, these modalities create a powerful vibrational space where participants can experience heightened transformation, grounding, and joy.

WhaleBreathing
With Mary Rondenet, Blooming Rose HEALING
WhaleBreathing is a unique practice that combines conscious breathwork with the profound vibrational resonance of whale songs. Inspired by the deep, rhythmic breathing patterns of whales, this modality guides participants into alignment with the natural flow of life while awakening their innate healing abilities.

The Transformative Effects of WhaleBreathing
• Stress Reduction: The soothing, rhythmic tones of whale songs activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting deep relaxation and calm.
• Healing Resonance: The vibrational qualities of whale songs facilitate energetic release and harmony within the body and mind.
• Inner Balance: Conscious breathwork grounds participants, fostering a sense of connection to self and the greater whole.

WhaleBreathing is a journey into the depths of your being, guided by the ocean’s wisdom and the whales’ healing power. It cultivates balance, peace, and a profound connection to oneself and the collective.

The Synergy of Kirtan and WhaleBreathing
When Kirtan and WhaleBreathing unite, they amplify each other’s effects, creating a powerful, sacred container of sound, breath, and shared energy. This fusion harmonizes the body, mind, and spirit, offering a transformative experience of unity, love, and divine connection. The healing vibrations of whale songs combine with the transcendent energy of Kirtan, awakening the heart and uplifting the soul. This is more than a practice—it is a sacred journey into oneness, love, and transformation.
