EVENTS
In 2009 Ron and Vicki are
available to present workshops, satsangs and kirtan evenings at suitable
gatherings, educational centres and institutions. The formats adopted for
these programs can be adopted to suit the particular requirements of our
clients. For example an evening presentation can be organised on the same
day or on the previous day of a workshop. (workshop can be scheduled for a
2.00 to 5.00 pm time, kirtan evening can be scheduled for 7.00 to 9.00pm
on either day). The evening presentation can take the form of a kirtan
concert, sacred music concert or satsang ( dialogues in
consciousness).
A complete weekend
workshop allows for two evening presentations on both the Fri and Sat. The
longer time period allows for an extended more relaxed version of the half
day workshop. (The workshops generally take on a more experiential format
with longer perods of meditaion and contemplation whereas the halfday
workshops are more didactic
Where cooking facilities
are available Ron and Vicki can cook a South Indian / Sri Lankan meal for
the participants. This format is best suited for a weekend workshop with
the optional lunch, on the second day.
(workshops are a learning
experience that focus on the practical usage of Yoga of sacred sound in
daily life. the participants come to the workshop prepared to deepen their
understanding of sacred sound and its underlying philosophy. the sessions
involve chanting of mantras, recitation of mystical poetry, and
meditation. Where appropriate some sessions involve drumming and dancing,
additional percussion can be supplied.
