The ancient practice of chanting opens the heart, clears the mind, and relaxes the body. When you chant in joyful communion with others, your boundaries soften and you may experience the living reality of spiritual concepts such as bliss, devotion, and inner peace. Come prepared to sing your heart open and let your spirit soar! Robert Gass is also teaching The Art of Leadership, October 4-9 and (with Judith Ansara) Sharing the Path, July 26-31. For more than 30 years, Robert Gass, EdD, has been a pioneer in the revival of sacred chant in the West. He is author of the book Chanting: Discovering Spirit in Sound. With his renowned singing group, On Wings of Song, Gass’ recordings include Om Namaha Shivaya, Alleluia, and Ancient Mother. sacredunion.com |
