I’d like to share a little background on how the Friday community classes came to be. When I first started to teach chanting, it was mainly to very small groups in Brussels, in a lovely space called Shanti Home where I felt at home. Friday evenings were mantra meditation evenings, choosing one mantra for practice, and also creating a lovely altar to practice in front of.

Since growing our online community, we simply brought this same energy to our Friday classes and also made them FREE. So that, we could celebrate and practice and welcome everyone from all walks of life and from anywhere in the world.

Usually on Fridays, these events are for us to come together online for short practices (sometimes long!). Everyone is always welcome to these classes, you don’t need to be registered in a course or be a student in a live program to be part of this community.

The short practices celebrate different occasions and festivals. We usually repeat a short mantra (japa). The text is displayed on the screen, so even if you are a beginner, you should be able to follow along. If it seems too much, even listening (without chanting yourself) can be a nice experience.

These classes have grown into offering many more FREE practice tips and course information sessions as well. I’m very invested in continuing to offer these free classes. They are very important for me. It is also important for me that everyone feels welcome. We like our community to join us with videos on, so we can be there with full presence.

I’m excited about the 2024 planning for these events and I am thrilled to be adding a new category on scriptural insights. Here’s what to expect:

 

Special shout out and thanks to all the regulars on our community events! We hope our community benefits and learns in these classes. Thank you for supporting these events and especially these topics. You are all a part of upholding these practices and knowledge ❤️.
