Divine Voice Spring Retreat

Join us..
For a deeply nourishing retreat for the SOUL
Immerse yourself in sacred waters and the flow of Divine Sound. Wake up for prayer, Yoga and Chanting. Activate your throat Chakra with the ancient healing practice of Indian Classical note Singing. Get started on the harmonium with a deeply rooted practice that comes directly from India. Use your voice as a healing instrument for yourself and others.
Wake up for Kundalini Yoga and A Course in Miracles Daily lesson with Kiranjot. Yoga will be followed by an hour of Indian Classical note practice that serves as a deep heart meditation as well as being the best vocal warm up! Take time to soak, hike, practice and have your morning and midday meals.We will come together in the afternoon for Harmonium basics - get your fingers moving and understand how to start your own daily practice at home. End the day with Evening chanting in the yurt (Sunday night chanting will be in the therapy pool) with Kiranjot and Joss.
This retreat is open to EVERYONE and families with children are invited to enjoy the pools during daylight hours with one or both parents trading off coming for morning yoga and chanting and everyone can enjoy our singing before bedtime!
Kiranjot Kaur is a vocalist, founding member of Copper Wimmin, Kundalini Yoga teacher, and Indian classical music instructor, with a deep devotion to the Divine Mother and A Course in Miracles. Copper Wimmin gained recognition through appearances on Democracy Now and the Showtime series The L Word, where their song "Bleeding Rivers" was featured.
In 2006, Kiranjot refocused her career toward Indian classical music, dedicating five years to living and studying under the tutelage of her beloved teacher, Dr. Ustad Narindar Singh, in Amritsar, India. Shifting away from traditional performances where the audience is separate from the performer, Kiranjot now merges her early experiences of communal singing with Sweet Honey in the Rock and Bobby McFerrin, alongside her deep love for Indian music and Kirtan traditions.
In 2014, Kiranjot was introduced to A Course in Miracles, and has since steadily integrated its daily lessons into her life. She now offers a unique blend of Indian classical notes and A Course in Miracles songs, sung in the Kirtan style of call and response. Kiranjot invites everyone to experience the transformative healing power of their own voice in the practice of singing together as ONE.
From her journeys through India to Chile and back, Kiranjot has discovered her greatest joy is inspiring everyone regardless of their singing experience, to use their voices as a method for quieting the mind, surrendering to presence, and revolutionary self-love.

RETREAT TESTIMONIALS
”Kiranjot's Divine Voice retreat is one of the best retreats I've ever experienced. The combination of the breathtaking location and farm fresh food, with Kiranjot's incredible singing classes and kirtans, optional yoga & movement, afternoon swimming in the river, immersion in nature, digital detox and heartfelt community was a balm for my soul, mind and body. I left feeling well-rested, relaxed and infinitely more attuned to my soul and in harmony with the planet." ~ Adarsh Margarite founder Movements of grace
“I want to express my heart full of flowers for the beautiful retreat which you crafted and held space in. I absolutely adored the chance to be with you and sing within your voice, which to me, is like a pool of purity into which I drop my voice… and my whole soul comes out feeling renewed. I loved the rhythm and flow of our time together. Such wonderful teachers showed up to add delicious dimensions to the experience… and the community that showed up around this experience was a delight. Thank you in roses, delphinium, lily and daisies all flowing from my heart to yours.” ~ Gaya Shelton Ostadi Yoga teacher& Retreat Leader
