find your voice
a one-day immersion in voice, mantra, harmonium and heart-centered leadership.
have you ever sat in kirtan, immersed in the music and mantra and quietly wondered: what would it be like to lead?
this retreat is an opportunity to explore your voice and learn the foundations of leading kirtan.
no previous experience of singing and playing harmonium is necessary. just the love of kirtan, curiosity and willingness to explore.
we will explore:
simple vocal techniques
breath practices to support the voice
yoga and embodiment for grounding
mantra and devotion
harmonium basics
leading mantra yourself
developing confidence in front of a group
creating connection between leader and participants
leading from the heart
Recently one participant of the course described her experience:
“thanks so much for yesterday’s retreat. it was really beautiful. i loved the content, vibrations and energy. you so gracefully got us all to the point where we could lead a kirtan ourselves. i’m looking forward to integrating what i learned and bringing chanting into my yoga classes.”
who if this for?
this day is for you:
if you simply love kirtan and want to experience it more deeply.
have wondered whether you could lead kirtan.
feel nervous or self-conscious about your singing voice.
would love to learn to play harmonium but don’t know where to start.
teach yoga and would like to bring mantra or chanting into your classes.
already lead kirtan or mantra but would like more confidence and support.
want to explore your voice as a pathway to healing, connection and leadership.
why learn with me?
kirtan is my life’s passion and i so love sharing what i have learned. it’s a deeply meaningful part of my journey.
i trained with nikki slade ten years ago. over the years i deepened my practice and learned to share the foundations of kirtan leading with others. i create a warm, supportive environment where you can experience leading without feeling you have to perform or prove anything.
as a participant said:
“thank you again for yesterday’s training. it was such an insightful day. one I will always cherish.”
