SUMMARY:Kirtan Training Level Two: Harmonium
DESCRIPTION:Want to learn how to lead kirtan? This course focuses on the spiritual practice of chanting while playing traditional instruments such as harmonium and kartals. The goal will be for each student to develop the ability and confidence to lead kirtan in a group\, or simply for oneself. \nNo previous musical experience is required for this course. The Kirtan Training course is not for learning music theory. Simple melodies are chosen for the Level One training so that everyone can participate. We focus on the roles of each instrument and learn how they cooperate and communicate in kirtan. Each class will also include a discussion on kirtan as the essential practice of Bhakti Yoga. \nPlease see registration information below. \n \nCourse Description\nOf all the instruments\, the most important is the voice. Finding one’s voice\, or developing it further in kirtan\, is a fulfilling experience of self discovery and expression. Our goal is to help each student exercise their voice and develop confidence singing in front of others. Kartals are the small hand cymbals which are important for the rhythm and timing in kirtan. Each student will learn how to properly hold and play kartals\, and will be provided kartals to practice at home between each class. And of course\, we will put special focus on the harmonium\, the instrument which assists the beautiful melodies and moods of kirtan. Students will learn simple but beautiful melodies on the harmonium and learn how to play with the accompaniment of kartals and the mrdanga drum. Students will also be invited to an online group where further instructions and videos will be available between classes. \nPrimary Instructor\nNitai’s journey into the world of kirtan began in 1997 when he discovered Bhakti Yoga for the first time. This discovery inspired him to fully immerse himself in Bhakti ashram life for 20 years. During that time\, he learned much about the expressions of kirtan in Bhakti\, and trained with traditional instruments such as harmonium\, kartals\, and mrdanga. Over those years\, Nitai spent time in Bhakti communities across Canada\, the U.S.A.\, and India. His immersion in Bhakti continues to this day through kirtan and daily practices. \nNitai is a director for Kirtan Vancouver\, a non-profit organization dedicated to creating immersive Kirtan experiences for people throughout the lower mainland. Nitai will be joined by other members of the Kirtan Vancouver team throughout the training. \nRegistration\nIf you are interested to register for this course\, please send an email to: hello@kirtanvancouver.com \nAfter your email is received\, we will send you a brief registration form to complete and send back to us. Please note that this class is limited to 10 students. Each student will be considered registered after completing the registration form and making the payment for the course. \nFor more information about Kirtan Vancouver\, please visit: www.kirtanvancouver.com

SUMMARY:Breathwave with Christina Niven
DESCRIPTION:Breathwave conscious connected breathing is a gentle form of breathwork that supports nervous system regulation\, emotional integration and inner connection. It honours the sacred within each one of us … the beauty\, the light\, the magnificent while also holding and integrating the shadow\, the broken\, the exiled in order to come to wholeness. The breath invites you into presence and to remember who you truly are in the essence of your Being. \nGroup Breathwave sessions are facilitated by senior Breathwave facilitator and trainer Christina Niven.\n​\nIn a group journey\, Christina will gently guide you into the breathwave\, offer hands-on facilitation (with consent) and support you in staying present with and in your experience. Breathing is done in a relaxed way while lying down with the accompaniment of music and presence. \nContact Christina for Registration Details

SUMMARY:Kirtan Training Level Two: Harmonium
DESCRIPTION:Want to learn how to lead kirtan? This course focuses on the spiritual practice of chanting while playing traditional instruments such as harmonium and kartals. The goal will be for each student to develop the ability and confidence to lead kirtan in a group\, or simply for oneself. \nNo previous musical experience is required for this course. The Kirtan Training course is not for learning music theory. Simple melodies are chosen for the Level One training so that everyone can participate. We focus on the roles of each instrument and learn how they cooperate and communicate in kirtan. Each class will also include a discussion on kirtan as the essential practice of Bhakti Yoga. \nPlease see registration information below. \n \nCourse Description\nOf all the instruments\, the most important is the voice. Finding one’s voice\, or developing it further in kirtan\, is a fulfilling experience of self discovery and expression. Our goal is to help each student exercise their voice and develop confidence singing in front of others. Kartals are the small hand cymbals which are important for the rhythm and timing in kirtan. Each student will learn how to properly hold and play kartals\, and will be provided kartals to practice at home between each class. And of course\, we will put special focus on the harmonium\, the instrument which assists the beautiful melodies and moods of kirtan. Students will learn simple but beautiful melodies on the harmonium and learn how to play with the accompaniment of kartals and the mrdanga drum. Students will also be invited to an online group where further instructions and videos will be available between classes. \nPrimary Instructor\nNitai’s journey into the world of kirtan began in 1997 when he discovered Bhakti Yoga for the first time. This discovery inspired him to fully immerse himself in Bhakti ashram life for 20 years. During that time\, he learned much about the expressions of kirtan in Bhakti\, and trained with traditional instruments such as harmonium\, kartals\, and mrdanga. Over those years\, Nitai spent time in Bhakti communities across Canada\, the U.S.A.\, and India. His immersion in Bhakti continues to this day through kirtan and daily practices. \nNitai is a director for Kirtan Vancouver\, a non-profit organization dedicated to creating immersive Kirtan experiences for people throughout the lower mainland. Nitai will be joined by other members of the Kirtan Vancouver team throughout the training. \nRegistration\nIf you are interested to register for this course\, please send an email to: hello@kirtanvancouver.com \nAfter your email is received\, we will send you a brief registration form to complete and send back to us. Please note that this class is limited to 10 students. Each student will be considered registered after completing the registration form and making the payment for the course. \nFor more information about Kirtan Vancouver\, please visit: www.kirtanvancouver.com

SUMMARY:When Things Fall Apart: Finding Peace With Fear
DESCRIPTION:November 27\, 2022: 9:00 am – 4:00 pm (Pacific time) \nAttend in-person OR virtually. \nRequested Donation: $40.00 or more\, paid through the Vancouver Buddhist Centre website. \nPayment through the Vancouver Buddhist Centre website by November 23 registers you for attendance:  vancouverbuddhistcentre.com \n  \nWe credit a Vancouver TFO for suggesting the central theme for this day retreat\, using inspiration he received from Pema Chodron’s seminal book\, When Things Fall Apart. The primary question for the day: When have you turned toward pain\, discomfort\, fear\, confusion\, and what benefits resulted that would NOT have occurred had you turned away? We likely all have stories of this kind\, when we have\, yes\, heroically\, turned to face our discomfort to find resolution that is both deeper and enduring. Even so\, we can likely tell of times when we have turned away from pain to have it stay with us as an ongoing companion. \nPlease join us for talks by those Training For Ordination and Order Members followed by discussions and meditation. \nIt is by far more convenient to bring your own lunch\, but there are restaurants nearby. Service at one location forced a late afternoon start so please consider which option you’d prefer. \nYou may bring your own cushion and mat if you’d like but there are some at the facility as well.
