Chant & Learn the Hanuman Chalisa! 13-week online workshop

~ ONLINE ~ Tuesdays Am or Pm ~ Sept 10-Dec 3rd, 2024

“People don’t know that every line of the Hanuman Chalisa is a maha mantra.” ~ Sri Baba Neem Karoli

The Hanuman Chalisa is a 40-verse song in ancient Hindi to Lord Hanuman, the most devoted servant of Ram. The Hanuman Chalisa tells the tale of Hanuman's exploits in the epic story of 'The Ramayana.' Chanting the Chalisa as a daily practice has been known to open hearts and help facilitate a letting go of our 'monkey minds' allowing for more joy and peace.


Join Kavita Kat Macmillan and others and become familiar with this beautiful practice. Each week we will chant the Hanuman Chalisa together and then focus on a section, learning pronunciation, and exploring the meaning and interpretations. Attention will be paid to cadence and rhythm to allow for ease of repetition and there will be time for sharing and questions. It is a pleasure and joy to share this practice with others!

Open Your Voice!

Sound Yoga Sessions

Open Your Voice! Sound Yoga Sessions are a step towards awakening the power of the authentic voice.

In these weekly sessions, Kavita Kat Macmillan leads participants in deep listening call & response sound yoga meditations in order to free expression and allow nuance and authentic voice to evolve.

Using long tones, Indian Sargam, & basics of Hindustani Raga voice culture practices, participants will be invited to explore the basics of Sound Yoga, thereby strengthening the voice and the capacity for deep listening. This creates a deep nervous system reset, engages the Right hemisphere of the brain, and helps to build confidence and ease for singing.

This practice is accessible to everyone, No experience is necessary. Get in touch with Kavita if you have questions.

“Kavita's teaching is so accessible, fun, sacred, devotional! I am always amazed at the ease with which Kavita can bring the whole group through something that seems difficult/challenging. She slowly, methodically, intentional teaches bite sized pieces so that they sink in and she makes sure everyone is on board before moving on.

I have learned so many ways to bring ease into my own practice. Specifically, she has helped me into finding a place where my voice is comfortable and not strained. This frees my effort to allow my devotion to come through.”
