This workshop held by Ashoka/Aoife, a newly initiated Magdalene, weaves the Shakti flow of Bhakti devotional songs and self love/care practises from the Hatha, Tao and Tantric paths.
You’re invited to resource and take refuge in the power of Divine Feminine Mother Mary and Magdalena Rose lineage to help us heal from our wounds and be held by their transformational love so that we can continue to spread love and bliss bringing heaven to Earth.
The workshop’s content includes ritual, mantra, breath work, consent exploration, communication tools all designed to foster healing empowerment and sovereign congruent and embodied relationship with ourselves and others.
Rarhi Kiirtan Workshop by Jyoshna and Kavita
The Kiirtan of Rarh is considered to be “Outstanding and Unparalleled” (P.R.Sarkar, 1980). It has been developing for more than 500 years and has its own central corpus of raginiis and rhythms which are enchanting and deeply evocative.
This workshop will give you an introduction to this outstanding kiirtan tradition. Led by Jyoshna who is a kiirtaniya of more than four decades with a PhD on Rarhi Kiirtan (2010) and since then has continued to research and teach this music genre globally and most recently in Ireland.
Kavita is a khol drummer and the only western woman to study the khol drum in the Rarhi Kiirtan Tradition. Both Kavita and Jyoshna were taught by Sri Jagaran Mahato (khol Master) of Purulia.
