**************************

We will begin this full moon Sunday afternoon with a celebration of coming together after many months of hibernation. The table is set for a feast for the belly and the soul. Bring a vegetarian dish to share and receive a 33% discount on the registration fee. Include a written ingredient list. Provide your own plate and cutlery for eating.

Once satiated, we move into simple, meditative, multi-cultural circle dances that use chants from many sacred traditions to touch the spiritual essence within. Group synergy builds as we ride the waves of harmony and bliss.

Coming into savasana, we ready ourselves to be bathed in the healing vibrations and high frequencies of crystal singing bowls, didgeridoo, and harmonic overtones, for a sound healing journey. Dropping into that deep silent space of eternity, profound awareness and transformation may occur. Let your own inspiration to be still, to move or to vocalize guide you into transcendental states.

At the call of the conch, we are reminded of the power of the heart and return fully awake to the sacred mantras of bhakti kirtan. Through devotional chanting of different traditions, these unifying prayers can lead us to the place inside that is pure love, pure being, pure awareness, and pure joy. Bring a devotional song to share from any lineage.

Finally, letting go of all constraints, we rise to our feet and express this ecstasy by dancing freely to electro live, world music. Discover how spontaneous, cathartic moving can bring you back to your natural state of well being, deep presence and connection to others. We are the movers and shakers, igniting the hearts and souls of all those whose lives we touch.

Commit to this special community-gathering event by pre-registering at Rama Lotus Yoga Center and inviting all your friends. There is power in numbers.

Payment can be made online at the Rama Lotus website, by phone or in person at the reception.

We thank you for joining us in this exploration of joy, unity and aliveness.
