Package of All 3 Volumes of Retreat Chants

This is a collection of the greatest hits of the opening morning sessions from five-day live retreats I led with co-teacher and healer Matt Kahn. These are my teachings on meditation, yoga, mantras, and the transformational power of chanting. Feel what happens in the body when you make or listen to sacred sound. Let it sweep away the dust in the corners of the mind, enliven and energize the cells, or bring more peace and stillness into your life.

Delivered with the strength of rootedness, groundedness of the shamanic path, and softness, tenderness, and compassion of the divine feminine, this whole package is a means to balance the masculine and feminine energies at play in our lives and the world.

Listen to or chant along and let the sounds not only boost your mood, provide emotional release and stress-relief, but also give you the opportunity to manifest a reality that is in alignment with your heart’s desires.

Here's what's included in this package:
