Kirtan, part of Naada Yoga (Yoga of Sound), is a vocal meditation using mantras, stories, and songs to connect with the Divine, fostering love and unity. And what’s a Cacao Ceremony? Cacao has been revered for its heart-healing properties for millennia. It pairs perfectly with meditation, yoga, and dance, enhancing connection with oneself and others.
