It is a space where deep stillness and aliveness of joyful expression coexist—where sacred music\, movement\, nature\, community\, and heartfelt practice come together in harmony.\nWhether you’re chanting in community\, resting in meditation\, dancing with abandon\, or sharing meaningful conversations under the stars\, you’ll experience the rare feeling of coming home—to yourself\, to community\, and to the path your heart has been quietly longing for. \n\nCome as you are. Leave nourished\, inspired\, and connected with a community that may just become your soul family. \n\nThis is an intentionally curated space where one day flows into the other.\n \nBhakti means the path of Love\, devotion and selfless service\, Bhakti Rising is lovingly curated and put together by Mokshajyoti\, a cultural sacred sound artist and somatic facilitator whose intention is to create and bring together vibrations of Bhakti in a collaborative space rooted in love and heart-centered community. This is a humble effort in honoring the roots where these sacred practices were born while honoring the land who holds us and delivering with an embodiment and experiential lens. Every offering is designed to create a space where these ancient practices become an embodied experience\, where the voice becomes a doorway to expression\, music becomes medicine\, and community becomes a place of belonging.\n\nMokshajyoti is extremely grateful to Heather and Benjy of Shantala Music for bringing their magic and support towards this effort.\n\n \nWe have an Amazing Group of Musicians\, yoga Practitioners and Facilitators:\n\nSpecial Guest:\nSwami Yatidharmananda (25+ Years practicing Monk)\, Uttarkashi\, India\n Leading Wisdom talks\, QnA\, Yoga Nidra\, Meditation and Kirtan with his fun Djambe skill (India).\nVisiting from Sivanand Seva Samiti: https://www.sivanandsevasamiti.org/\nhttps://schoolofwellbeing.org/ \n \nHost\, curator and intention holder\nMokshajyoti\, (Host\, devotional artist\, Nada Yoga\, sound healing facilitator and intention holder)\n \nDevotional Concerts\nHeather and Benjy Wertheimer\, Shantala Music (Portland based) \nKavita Kat Macmillan (Portland)\nRob and Melissa (Seattle)\, Mokshajyoti (Portland)\n\nMusician: Joss Jaffe (San Diego) and more local supporting artists\n\nKirtan circles– Madurai (Ashland)\, Matthew Hara (Mt.
