Event Overview

The use of mantras for meditation goes back to very beginning of when people began sitting and focusing as a form of spiritual practice. In the secular world, we use mantras to not just train focus but also to develop the traits, habits, aspects of our personalities, and ways of being in the world that we most want to embody.  

In this sing-along class, you will learn:

1. The history of mantras in different world traditions
2. How mantras are used in secular meditation
3. Four mantras (Om Ah Hum, Life Says Yes to Me, Self-Forgiveness Mantra and Ohm So Hum)
4. How to create your own mantra by using a special guided meditation

Come on out and enjoy the hour learning about the history of mantras, singing along with joy, and finding your own mantra. 

I am co-teaching this class with two of my favorite people:
