SUMMARY:Men's Wisdom Council
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to be a “Man”? \nMost men find that there is no clear answer to that question. It’s never been easy being a man. We take on the roles that society assigns us\, without being given clear instructions. Role models that are offered up to us don’t speak to our deeper concerns\, or rarely reply from the depths that our spirits require. \nCouncils have long been used by many traditions and cultures as a way to come together and gain a greater understanding of the world. The Men’s Wisdom Council continues this sacred tradition of sharing and deep listening. \nOur circle we will strive to create a safe\, supportive\, and non-judgmental space where we can take turns telling our stories\, sharing our concerns\, and learning from each other—as we explore how we\, as men\, walk through the stages of our lives.\nPlease contact Michael Corthell (michaelacorthell@gmail.com) for any questions that you may have. \nMeets upstairs in meditation room. Enter through school street door.

SUMMARY:Kirtan Chant: Music to Open the Heart
DESCRIPTION:What is Kirtan?\nKirtan is transcendental spiritual music and a meditation practice also described as Bhakti Yoga or Nada Yoga. Its origins come from Eastern Indian and Budhist culture.\nKirtan is a call and response chanting from the vocal leader to the audience\, who then recites or echos back the same lyrics. By chanting in this way\, the sounds and voices raise a very high conscious vibration that reverberates within and outside of you\, opening up energy channels.\nThis practice calms and quiets the mind. You don’t need to have any previous experience to attend a Kirtan. All spiritual faiths are welcome.\n\n$20 Donation at the door\nPay Cash or with Venmo (settings on friends and family)\nBring yoga blanket or cushions and perhaps a bottle of water. Chairs will be available. Mask wearing is optional.\n\nNada Brahma Kirtan is a five member band founded by Kāmpa Vashi Deva and Lisa Kawski in 2018. The band originated on the North Shore and the other members come from west of Boston and western NH. They bring their instruments and voices together to share with the community their devotion\, invoking the healing light of the Universe. Tapping into the experience opens your heart and mind\, helping to bring peace to the planet and beyond.\n\nBand Members:\nKāmpa Vashi Deva – Lead Singer\, Harmonium\, Mridangam\, Slaptop Cajon and Kertals\nLisa Kawski – Lead Singer\, Harmonium\, Indiginous Drum and Kertals\nSteve Sherman – Tablas\, Lead Singer\, Chimes and Rythms\nTheresa Landry – Vocals and Chimes\nRick Landry – Bass\, Guitar and Vocals
