Join these exciting teachers for a special one-day chant event—open to the general public—on Monday, September 3. See below for details. | | |
This Ecstatic Chant retreat is one of the most popular events at Omega. A rare opportunity to join some of the Western world's leading devotional singers, the weekend nourishes souls with a rich tradition of musical prayer and meditation.
Known in Sanskrit as kirtan, devotional chanting awakens a longing in the heart for the experience of inner silence, boundless love, and union with the divine. Emerging from Hindu traditions in India, kirtan is practiced by millions of people. In recent years, pioneering musicians and seekers have brought this magical tradition to the West. Omega's gathering is one of the nation's largest and most renowned.
Throughout the weekend—including an extraordinary all-night Saturday session—we explore a variety of chants and chanting styles, interspersed with meditation sessions, yoga asana sessions, and the sharing of stories.
Special schedule. Due to overwhelming demand, an additional session has been added on Monday, September 3. This session is open to the general public and runs from 2:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. Tuition for this one day program is $75 plus any housing/facility charges. Please call Registration for more information.
