Navigating the challenges of family relationships and
untangling the knots of triggered emotions.

Channeling our energy into chanting, meditation, and treating
others with compassion and respect.

Working skillfully with the mind rather than trying to
control it completely

Training ourselves, transforming ourselves, and opening
ourselves to real grace and love

Investigating deeply into the roots of our thoughts and
emotions to understand their true source

Turning inwards and knowing that we can find answers to all
of our questions within ourselves 

Krishna Das’ go-to practice when he is having a difficult
time: chanting 108 Hanuman Chalisas 

Making daily space for spiritual practice to strengthen the
heart and mind

Relieving suffering through deidentification with the stories
that we tell ourselves 

The difference between letting go and pushing away

About Krishna Das:


Layering traditional Hindu kirtan with instantly accessible
melodies and modern instrumentation, Grammy nominee Krishna Das
has been called yoga’s “rock star.” With a remarkably
soulful voice that touches the deepest chord in even the most
casual listener, Krishna Das – known to friends, family, and fans
as simply KD – has taken the call-and-response chanting out of
yoga centers and into concert halls, becoming a worldwide icon
and the best-selling chant artist of all time. His album ‘Live
Ananda’ (released January 2012) was nominated for a Grammy in the
Best New Age album category.


KD spent the late ’60s traveling across the country as a student
of Ram Dass, and in August 1970, he finally made the journey to
India, which led him to Ram Dass’ own beloved guru, Neem Karoli
Baba, known to most as Maharaj-ji. Krishna Das now travels the
world sharing his kirtan practice and wonderful stories of his
life, of Maharaji-ji, of his life on the Path and discusses
bringing chanting into our lives through retreats and workshops.
To date, KD has released 15 well-received albums, most recently
Trust in the Heart released in October 2017.

 “We can’t push people around, abuse people, hurt
people, and think we're gonna get everything we want. That’s
creating terrible negative karma for ourselves. We have to learn
to treat others the way we ourselves want to be treated. If you
think that’s easy, you've got another thing coming.” – Krishna
Das
