Chants of East & West Benefit for Mitch Adams Family

Happy to announce that Chants of East and West is back! Recently, Lake Tahoe Mindfulness Community facilitated a  Loving-Kindness practice called Metta for a very dear friend who had a loved one in critical condition. We invited this young man, Mitch Adams, into the center of our circle and then the invitation was extended to anyone else in need. What followed was a stream of loved ones who were close to our hearts and whom we wished to see their sufferings alleviated. 

After we wrapped up, I began thinking of the role of song in restoring well-being and balance and in being a skillful vehicle for releasing our ideas of how things should be. This class is an invitation for people who carry the weight of care for others. You'll have the opportunity to bring a representation of the person, place, thing who is struggling to our group and place the item into our circle of care. Songs from Native American and Eastern tradition will be sung to deepen our meditation, our Loving-Kindness practice (Metta) and strengthen our devotion. This class is a time to not only release but to be nourished--these songs are amazing. Consider joining us, and the best part is 100% of all proceeds will be donated to the family of Mitch Adams for his amazing sacrifice and continued longevity. See you upstairs in the "No Mud, No Lotus" Room.
