Love is many things.

Suzanne, Erika, and Austin take time to talk about how Ecstatic Kirtan began, what it is, and how this album, now available on most major streaming platfroms, came to be. Thanks to all of you who have helped make these events and this music what it has become!

"When the program was over, I was on my own with my newly earned certificate (and very green teaching skills).  Teaching a class on my own was a sink or swim situation, and I did a lot of sinking as I tried to figure out how to actually apply what I had learned without any guidance.   Fortunately, I was determined enough to keep venturing into the water. I started teaching at Cambio in 2009, and here I received an amazing level of support and mentorship from many people in this teaching community.  I honed my skills in sequencing, adjusting, language, and I over time I learned to teach with confidence and grace."

How the devotional practice of Bhakti yoga brings more love in to our life, and what happens when we commit to something and discover what lies behind the ego once it has exhausted itself. Also if you ever wondered what samdhi is and ways to experience for yourself this might just be the listen and event for you!
