You are invited to join us for our monthly virtual community chanting circle.
Come together in queer community for practices for devotional chanting, breathwork, movement and sound healing.
Our meditation circles are held online via Zoom.
We gather on the third Sunday of each month @ 5pm PST / 8pm EST for 60-75 minutes.
Each month TanyaMarck & Nick will create a custom practice for the group. The themes may follow the seasons of the year, the phases of the moon and stars, or a particular spiritual practice or chant. Below is more information about some of the practices you may experience.
Devotional Chanting:
Chanting has the potential to bring you to deep attention and a feeling of connection to the divine. Chants may be in a variety of languages and may stem from different spiritual traditions or mantras. Or they may simply be positive affirmations and words of compassion to cultivate a sense of peace and well-being. In these practices we honor and respect all spiritual and religious lineages.
Breathwork + Movement:
Breathwork is the mindful connection to your body + systems along with your inhale and exhale, a concept descended from the ancient practice Pranyayama, a Sanskrit word which has been translated as ‘extension of the life force’ or ‘breath control.’ Breathwork is the exploration of inhaling and exhaling techniques. Breathwork is a tool for regulating, releasing, receiving, resetting, and grounding your energy in your body + systems. (from TanyaMarck.com)
