The Yoga of Sound: Awakening the Mystic Heart

Program description: The Mystic Heart is the core of our spiritual being, source of the divine pulse that lovingly creates and holds all things in existence. All traditions point to the mystic heart; all spiritual practices are intended to lead to it. Here, at the very core of our being we discover that a Christian’s salvation, a Hindu’s moksha (liberation) and a Buddhist’s nirvana (spiritual awakening) are not mutually exclusive terms of enlightenment but varying cultural expressions uttered from the same vantage point: the mystic heart.

Course Objectives: During this weekend we will explore mystical practices that lead to the awakening of the mystic heart. We will use chant, movement, breath work, meditation and music, aware that all technique is dependent on the grace of Spirit. This is a time of spiritual experience shared in community with the intention to go deep, or in the words of Christopher Fry: "Affairs are now soul size. The enterprise is exploration into God." (from "The Sleep of Prisoners")
