Join me for kirtan to remember who you are, what you are made of and surrounded by, so you can continue to let your light shine into the New Year.
When we gather together and feel the individual and collective vibration of sound while chanting, experience the holding and presence of the Divine within this vibration and in the meditative silence in between, we connect to our life force energy, our wisdom and our deep inner truths.
From this safe, sacred, and inspired place we will have the opportunity with thought or by writing in your journal to acknowledge and affirm how you are already manifesting your gifts in the world and how you would like to continue to ignite, support, and live your light into this New Year.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), also known as Tapping, is a practice that involves tapping on the endpoints of energy meridians in your body which awakens your relaxation response, reduces feelings of stress, and brings a calm, grounded, yet expansive feeling.
This practice can support healing from illness and disease as well as open you to clarity and intuition. Bringing the body out of stress and into the relaxation response allows our immune system to function optimally and our mind to be clear to find solutions to challenges and pathways to peace and joy in life.
We will be tapping with a few existing scripts addressing our universal experiences of stress, struggle and affirmation, as well as impromptu scripts based on your own challenges should you choose to share them anonymously or in person.
Here is a dharma talk I shared in yoga class last week honoring Thich Nhat Hanh’s life and legacy, including the teaching of No Coming, No Going; singing, chanting, mudras; and a couple readings from Thich Nhat Hanh.
I am so thankful for encountering Thay in this lifetime and being able to receive and share his teachings with others in local sangha, currentlyPractice Community at Franklin Lakes: Meditation Group, and on retreats and Days of Mindfulness with the larger sangha many years ago at Stone Hill College among others, and in my yoga classes.
When the practice becomes part of you, it’s like breathing - a very natural part of you, and like oxygen - necessary to live and thrive. You can find Thay's dharma talks and receive his energy in videos on YouTube Plum Village channel. Plum Village also has a free meditation app available and Facebook page: Plum Village
