Spend a magical evening of conscious and joyous practice with community at Chi-Town Shakti this New Year's Eve! Join us for one, two or a full evening of events: kirtan, yoga, meditation and mantra all the way through to the 2024! Enjoy snacks (gluten feed and vegan options available) throughout the evening and a sparkling cider toast at midnight!
Events Include:
NYE Kirtan (with Aasha and Kristy) from 730 to 830 pm
In-Person or Via Zoom - $20
Join our community for a joyous practice of kirtan - call and response chanting in the beautiful and sacred Sanskrit language. If you wish for more joy in your life now and in the new year, practice it - Open your Heart and Sing! The practice of kirtan is one of devotion - devotion to one's truest Self, to the divine and universal presence of Shiva and Shakti. The vibration and sacred energy within the chants bathe our entire beings as we turn in, chant and BE.
Choose to join virtually from your home or join community in-studio to sing the "response" of the "call and response" together. Chant sheets will be provided. No chanting experience necessary.
NYE Candlelight Yoga + Meditation (with Aasha) from 9 to 1030 pm
In-Person or Via Zoom - $25
The purpose of Yoga asana is to balance the energy centers within our subtle bodies to prepare for seated meditation in our journey toward enlightenment. In a simpler sense, yoga asana helps ease our bodies and minds into a more relaxed and focused state, more conducive to stilling the thought waves and connecting to our inner Light.
Join us for 60 minutes of a luxurious All Levels Hatha Yoga asana (centered on deep surrender of the past and a joyous willingness to be fully present in each moment of the future as it comes) followed by 30 minutes of Heart Meditation, fully opening to what is possible at year’s end and year’s beginning.
NYE Mantra + Intention Setting (with Aasha) from 11 pm to 1215 am
In-Person or Via Zoom - $20
Gather with us, a group with full intention of welcoming growth and change as it comes in the New Year. Create a simple intention for the new year, an intention that stirs joy in the well of your Heart. Then, chant Ganesh mantra, reverberating in the vibration of Ganesha's energy, the elephant headed deity who helps us clear a path and supports us in important transitions. Ganesha is also known as the gatekeeper between the human and device realms. The reverberation of our mantras will resonate within and beyond, reaching further than we may fathom, impacting and bestowing grace upon all sentient beings. "Where attention goes, energy flows" - Paul Reps. We have the ability to deeply impact ourselves and the world as we transition into 2024 with great intention!
