Wednesday Kirtan
One of the oldest sacred music traditions of the world, the kirtan (call-and-response chanting) comes to us from India. Using ancient Sanskrit mantras, the kirtan calls upon sacred energies that serve to quiet the mind, remove obstacles, and bring us back to the center of our being.

Go beyond the multiplex. See documentaries, foreign films, and little-seen independents. Past films have included Touching the Void, Impromptu, An Inconvenient Truth, and Searching for Debra Winger.
Friday Experiential Workshop
Our workshops take the ancient themes of yoga and offer them as current and viable tools for modern living. Integrate this information into your body and spirit through activities like movement, stretching, conscious listening, journaling, and more. Check daily schedule for our host of topics.

Award-winning songwriters, soulful singers, amazing instrumentalists, and much, much more await you in an exceptional evening of unique and exhilarating music from throughout the world.
